The mini mart manager actually doing the right thing.

But The police still come and ask for the proof from the managers for the basis of the accusation

Explanation:

Most states in united states allowed Business establishment to legally detained the people who they suspect to be stealing. This action is protected under the probable cause.

But, there are several requirements that the business onwer needs to follow:

- They shall not intentionally harm the suspects

- They shall not publish the information about the case to the public unless the court determine that the suspect is guilty.

- The basis of the detain must be reasonable.

In the case above, the police will most likely come and ask the manager to provide proof. (usually by looking at the camera footage in the store or witnesses). If the police believe the proof to be sufficient, the suspect will be processed accordingly.
