PORT SAINT LUCIE - A Florida teen is accused of posing as a police officer so his friend could steal.       

Police say the 17-year-old pretended to arrest his 14-year-old accomplice who allegedly walked out of the store with a pocket full of goods.

This is video from the walmart in port st. Lucie around 3am Monday. 

According to police the other boy shoplifted some trading cards. The 17-year-old then told the store manager he was a police officer and then arrested his friend... even slapping cuffs on him.

The store manager though didn't believe the story so she called the real police and the two teens were arrested.
