Racine, WI (CBS 58) -- A 90-year-old woman was putting groceries in her car at Piggly Wiggly when she was robbed. 

Police say 27-year-old Lacy Lanciloti offered to help the victim with her groceries. The elderly woman said no, she needed the exercise but said 'thank you, people here are so nice.' She gave Lanciloti a hug and that's when police say Lanciloti grabbed the woman's purse and ran.

But, she didn't get far. Ashea Ingram saw what happened and chased after the woman.

The cell phone video shows the moments after Ingram got Lanciloti's car keys. Ingram and several others kept her there until police arrived and arrested her.

Thanks to Ingram and the other good samaritans, the victim got all of her belongings back.

Police say Lanciloti also had two other credit cards that didn't belong to her.

Her bond is set at $10,000.
