As cops, what would be grounds enough to make a citizen arrest?

I think the best way to make a civil arrest is to arrest the person in the act of the crime, i.e. passing private property without permission, for example.

I once witnessed a citizen's arrest of a store owner who wanted to rob him with a plastic gun. It happened as I was entering the store and I was off duty, then I identified myself and I remember the owner asking me if I had not broken any rules and checking the laws, for nothing but to help catch a criminal.

If you can stop an assault in public and apprehend the assailant, that is a permissible citizen's arrest. As long as the person does not possess a weapon.
