Answer: FALSE.

Explanation: In this situation, the store's management is incapable of detaining her because they are not an authority of law. The best case scenario will be to report to the police immediately and allow the police do their jobs (detaining and interrogation). In most cases, shops are not allowed to detain an individual, they can only do so for a very limited time. As doing so may be termed "kidnapping".

The correct answer is False

Explanation: This would not be possible because it was already registered that she committed the theft so the correct thing would be to call the police so that she could be accountable for what happened.
