A police officer has been caught playing a criminal’s VR video games while his colleagues arrested the suspect.
During the raid, at a cafe, two cops went about their business checking over the detainee, whilst the third decided to relax.
The officer was seen trying on the VR goggles and picking up the sensors before playing the game.

People in the cafe watched on awkwardly as the cop tried his hand at Beat Saber – whilst the man was arrested.
The arrest took place in St. Petersburg, Russia, on 8 March around 3:30pm, as reported by Need To Know.
The video quickly went viral online racking up over 100,000 views across social media.
The suspect in the clip was detained by Russian authorities due to avoiding military conscription in his home country of Belarus.
The man had organised a party in the cafe for his birthday, where friends could socialise and play games.
Despite the arrest taking place in front of them, staff helped adjust the settings for the officer to join in.
After the trio left with the suspect, the friends continued to party despite the event being in honour of their friend.
It is unclear whether the officer will face any disciplinary proceedings.
Viewers were left in stitches by the clip.
“Bro said, crime can wait, I’m about to beat my high score,” one person said.
Another person added: “Community engagement, two birds one stone.”
One other person said: “Nah, that’s funny imagine the suspects face.”
Another person said: “I’ll allow it.”
One other person added: “And the fourth officer watched with envious joy.”
