On February 22nd, 2026, officers responded to Walgreens after employees reported a woman who entered the store, selected a large amount of merchandise, and walked out without paying. When officers located her, they found her bag completely full of stolen items valued at over $267. >> Did she give you any issue when you detained her? All right, have you gone through her bags? What what all's in there? This is entire bag is full? >> Yeah, everything. >> Right from the start, you can see the officer is calm and professional. He finds the bag packed with makeup, extension cords, jewelry, bathing suits, and more, all with the price tags still attached. The suspect, Alexandra, is surprisingly cooperative at first. >> Um makeup, extension cords, jewelry, bathing suits, hair products, candles, vitamins. Okay. This is broken? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Can you do me a favor? Will you take this bag back to Walgreens and we're going to do an itemized receipt for me? Um and also give them the victim's rights brochure. >> Yeah. >> Alexandra? >> And this is already on a report, too. >> And you checked that back to the black bag? It's empty? >> Um just got her cell phone, her wallet. And makeup bag. >> Did she agree to talk to you? >> Mhm. >> Okay. Alexandra, I'm Officer Bizetti with the Q West Police Department. I'm taking primary on this case. Um so, I understand you already spoke with Officer Beeman about this and you guys spoke about it. Um where where were you heading? >> I was going home. >> Did you go anywhere before Walgreens? Or did you just got like leave home and go to Walgreens and then came back? >> I went I went to went to cut my hair. >> Cut your hair? Okay. Where? >> At >> Um >> Q West Barber. >> Did you get a haircut? >> No haircut. >> Okay. Um What did you do after that? >> Then I went to Walgreens. >> You didn't go anywhere else before or after? >> No, I was home and then I got a haircut and then went to Walgreens and then >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. Thank you. >> And I returned a package at Walgreens. >> Uh-huh. >> And found those things. Like I said, stupid mistake. >> Okay. >> The total should be $20. Um but all of this >> The extension cord from Walgreens as well? >> Yes. >> Yeah. Okay. Um Do you normally walk around with two bags? They're like pretty empty bags. >> No, what do you mean? >> I'm just wondering why you had two bags with you. >> What? This is a like a grocery bag, like it's like a Were you at Publix today? >> As well? >> No. So I I know you did. >> Yeah. Um all right, where was this? So in other words, you went to Walgreens >> and you brought the Publix bag with you to Walgreens. Yeah, I had I had that with >> Yeah. But you weren't shopping at Publix today. >> But I didn't go to Publix. >> Weren't you going to go to Publix today? >> No, that's just a tote that I have. >> And this bag, everything in there is from Walgreens, correct? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> The police decision here was textbook. They didn't rush the arrest. Instead, they carefully went through her bags, confirmed everything came from Walgreens, and asked clear questions to build their case. This is smart policing. They gathered strong evidence before making the arrest, which makes the case much stronger in court. Now we see her being questioned. She starts giving inconsistent answers about where she came from and why she had two big bags. The officer stays patient but keeps pressing for the truth. >> This is her purse that's got all the personal items in it. I already went through this and made sure that she had no personal items in it. This is all price tags still intact. >> Okay. >> Walgreens. So, that's just her stuff. This is just Walgreens stuff. >> Do you have a spot? Okay, did you said you're married? >> Yeah. >> Right? Your husband's Is he home? >> Yeah. >> Okay, does he have keys to his car? To the car also or does he have his own car? >> No, we both have keys. >> Okay. All right, just want to make sure we're not taking his access to the car. >> Yeah. Can I call him? >> So, Walgreens wants to press charges on you, okay? Um, so that means you are going to jail today. Um, so that's why I'm asking you these questions is to make sure we're not taking you to jail with the car keys, you know, the only car. >> Just give those keys to my husband. >> Uh, sure, we can do that. >> Can I have his stuff? >> Does he have a Florida driver's license or is that the only driver's license he has? >> I think that's just That's what he has. >> Yeah, that's the Right, but he only has a California he doesn't have a Florida license? >> I don't No, he does have a car. >> Okay. >> And either way, I'll make sure he has this that way if he doesn't >> Okay, yeah. >> Okay. >> Alexandra made several critical mistakes. First, she stole over $267 worth of items in one go, turning it from petty theft into a stronger case. Second, she lied during questioning which damages her credibility. Third, she brought reusable bags specifically to conceal the stolen goods. These choices made it very easy for officers to prove intent. In Florida, this is charged as petty theft under $750, a misdemeanor. However, because Walgreens has a strict policy to always press charges, she was arrested and issued a trespass warning from the store. If convicted, she could face fines, probation, and a criminal record that affects future employment and background checks. >> So, she said, "Yeah." Two. Three. >> Okay. >> That's his wallet. Two zeros and a >> How long have you lived down here? >> Since the summer. >> How much? >> Two bucks. 10. About 12 bucks. >> Okay. All right, this is >> Sorry. >> Do you want these to go to him? >> I Yeah, that would cuz I need his stuff. >> Okay. Um do you want the purse to go with him and we'll just take your wallet and phone? Make it a little bit easier or you want to take your purse? >> Sure. You can give him the purse. >> It's up to you. >> I need my wallet. >> It's just a big bulky >> wallet. I don't know. I've never been arrested. I don't really know what to do. >> Well, your stuff is going to go into prisoner property. It's going to be a bag that's your bag. Nobody's We're going to give it to them. They're going to put it in the bag. Nobody's going to go into that bag. >> in the bag? >> Okay. All right. >> So, like his driver's license, his credit card, and the car keys are going to go back to him. >> Yes. >> Is he home right now? >> Yeah. >> Uh did you search her? >> Um put that down. Um she's not wearing any pockets or anything like that, but >> Okay. Do you have anything on you? >> No, I don't even have pockets. >> Nothing in your bra or anything like that? Okay. Um understand when we get to the jail if they do find something it's a felony or contributing contraband into a detention facility, okay? Okay, I just have to advise everybody of that. Um so we're going to go into my car right over there. >> Um those are my good puffs that just >> Yeah. >> make it back. >> I'll catch you girl. >> They like to steal my uh >> Yeah. >> My good ones just >> we're going to go on this side. >> Walgreens out of pressing charges? >> No, it's a policy they have. Um That That would just be my luck and then tired. Yeah. Okay. Good? >> Yeah, so is she going to bring that back? >> Yeah, she's going to take that junk. >> Okay, there's a gate. I mean, can you call him because I don't know if he'll hear you from the the gate. Yeah. >> Can you call him? >> 10-34 be advised. >> She said she doesn't think she'll he'll hear you from the gate. >> Well, he usually like puts the headphones on and he's inside and the gate is like away from the house. >> Yeah. >> Psychologically you can see the moment reality hits her. She goes from calm to worried when she realizes she's actually going to jail. This is very common in shoplifting cases. People underestimate the consequences until it's too late. >> I don't know if it's a Does this face ID work or not? We can do face. >> Do you have this iPhone >> It should work. >> Sometimes it just does it like here. >> Face ID 10-34 be advised. >> Here. going to be out. >> It's a call. >> Can we do FaceTime? >> Sure. Yeah, it's face forward this way. >> Yeah. Um I've been I I've been arrested. And I'm in a cop car and we're just around the corner. And they're going to take me in because Walgreens wants to press charges and I have car keys and your ID and your Wells Fargo >> at the front gate and I'll meet you there. >> I If you walk out, I'm just at the corner like by the mailboxes. >> really quick? >> Come to where like the mailboxes are. >> I'm going to just step over there real Okay, we'll see you in a minute. Okay. >> This case is a strong reminder that shoplifting is never just a small thing. Stores lose billions every year and that cost gets passed on to honest customers through higher prices. Always remember, even if you think no one is watching, modern stores have excellent cameras and strong prosecution policies. One impulsive decision can give you a criminal record that follows you for years.
