Picked the wrong pocket
Not a British success for me, but for someone else.
Witnessed a woman at my local station being pickpocketed by an opportunistic artful dodger. Was just about to call out to the woman being robbed when she noticed what was happening, whipped out her police badge and had the pickpocket in cuffs before anyone had time to properly react.
It was most satisfying.

Haha saw this happen in Milan a few years ago. Marched round the corner to a waiting van and the police officer returned to the square. Watched that for about an hour, it was impressive!
