Why are you touching it? >> I'm not. But I'm not doing anything. >> What is the problem? >> You being petty though. But you being petty. >> No, you're being petty and you know I didn't touch you. >> I just took them because I needed money. We have nowhere to live. >> Okay. >> Well, do you know what it's for? >> It's just DUI. I mean, it's a very serious crime, but >> No. >> Stand up and turn around right now. >> No. >> Yeah. You're under arrest. >> No. For what? for stealing. >> I I didn't do nothing. What you talking about? >> Right now, you're being detained, so stay. >> I'm not going to be detained. >> Life puts a lot of pressure on women, balancing work, family, and daily struggles. Worse, some give up trying to cope and turn to wrongful acts, only stopping when the police step in. Every reaction is captured in today's video. When women get arrested, stealing an entire cart full from Walmart. Each defiance offers a valuable lesson. Watch closely, and don't forget to like and subscribe. Starting with these women, their regret was half-hearted. >> I'm sorry. Like, I'm I'll never come here again. I did not. I stole a bunch of little like a dumb ass. >> On September 10th, 2024, police were dispatched to Walmart after reports of a woman attempting to leave the selfch checkckout without paying for all her items. When approached by officers, under their pressure, she admitted to her actions. >> Hey, Terra. >> Hi, Officer. Vasquez, we're recording. Uh, what' you see her take? >> Um, I saw it. >> You saw it? >> Yeah. >> All right. What do you got in the bag? >> You're on video. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> What you What' you put in the bag? >> Some stuff. >> All right. Just pay for it. >> No. >> Okay. All right. Let's go back to the office over here. >> Are you going to arrest me? >> I don't know yet, but let's go to the office. You're going to talk about it. >> Why are you stealing stuff? >> I know. I'm sorry. You already told me >> donuts. Coke Mountain donuts. >> Yeah, sure. Go ahead. Donuts. >> I'll be outside. >> All right. What's in your bag? >> Yes, please. too. >> Inside the loss prevention office, another suspect had also been taken into custody. She remained completely calm, showing no shame over what officers found in her bag. >> I saw her put the she on video. I saw her put the sponge in her bag and this was already >> She put a sponge in her bag. >> No, I think it was her put the sponge in her bag. I didn't see her on video with anything yet. Is there any >> What is this? >> Is that all you had? >> Yes. >> I storage trespass in the storage. You're not supposed to be here. >> Why? for this very reason. >> You're on your list. >> But I was never told that. >> It was clear this was not her first time committing such acts, which might explain her earlier composure. But now she was unsettled by what the officers had uncovered. >> Honest to God, I was never told that. >> I mean, I'd be honest with you. I was never told that. So I have Rebecca signed trespass here for her um here when police officer. >> No, it's usually indefinite unless you appeal towards us. Um, so every every time that she stole from us, she had the other day except for the February. >> Okay. >> Um, >> yeah, we're good. Thank you. >> What do you mean? >> If it's under 300, I thought you >> Huh? Meanwhile, in contrast to the calm suspect inside, the woman apprehended outside appeared completely distraught, desperately trying to change her situation. You tell >> I'm never here again. Please don't take me to jail. >> Go ahead. >> You working? >> No. >> I'm sorry. Like, I'm I'll never come here again. I did not know anything. >> I did not know that. Here's here's a trespass for sign in May when we got >> So you sign this in May. >> You knew you were supposed to come back, right? >> I forgot about that. >> I'm sorry. >> Just another copy for her. >> Actually, I just I had >> I can go do the I can bring my car up. start the trespassing stuff and then what about the other one you >> Yeah, both. >> Both. All right, I'll be back. >> At the police station, the women were visibly anxious about their fate, repeatedly portraying themselves as pitiable, though somewhat reluctantly. >> Can I ask you a question? >> What's the question? >> So, we're going to be processed out. That's what he said. >> Okay. >> Is that true? >> I don't. >> How do you not know? He doesn't know what you're getting charged with yet. >> We're getting charged. We We got uh what was it? >> Misdemeanor retail. >> Okay. >> Are they going to >> uh have y'all been drinking using? >> No. >> No. We've been crying. >> Oh, okay. That's crazy. All right. >> I know the other officer asked. >> How does he not know? >> The other officer thought I had something on me, too. Check my pockets and stuff. They're going to check out there. >> Well, they're they're going to bring FEMA down and search, >> right? I don't have any. >> How are they? How do they not know? >> How do they not know what? >> How do they not know? But you know, >> he's >> They don't have the They don't know what they see until they until we put it in here. >> He's not wondering. >> You'll be able to tell us once you put it in there. >> Yeah. I'm telling you, you can get out. >> Okay. >> You're not. >> So, why are you dressed in then? >> You're not. >> We're not. No, we're just going to take >> You just get processed and we get searched. Okay. >> Yeah. You just get processed. Get your picture taken and you walk. But when you do what you're doing right now will prove it. >> Huh? >> What you're doing right now will show like on the computer that we're getting out. >> Yeah, you're getting out. >> Okay, if you ever get out, I do not trust him. >> Yet, when the women recounted their actions, there was no hint of shame. She admitted to them casually, treating the offenses as trivial. >> Yes, I did. I had trespassing and I have stealing. You know, like you didn't have to cuz you didn't steal. >> I just stole a bunch of little like a dumb ass. >> Well, this time >> like I stole like those plugin things. >> I stole like I got a pair of purple to some pumpkin leggings and black leggings. I don't think they ever changed these in here. >> Probably not. >> Greater than 150. >> I don't know. I don't think >> cuz it's 300 now, isn't it? >> Yeah. Well, whatever. Yeah. >> This one, right? >> You trespassing. I did >> cuz the miserable check. >> They did. >> I just Oh, because they have warrants and they up. They got felonies when they went in there. Cuz if it was a felony, we wouldn't be getting right out, right? >> Yeah. You just get a court date. You still get out. >> Really? >> Because that's >> Doesn't mean you go steal more. >> Oh, no. No. I just I'm surprised by that. >> I haven't [ __ ] forever. >> I'm not ever stealing again. I >> No, I've been just because I was telling him sometimes it's a trigger for me to go places and do that. So, I've been ordering my groceries online. >> Yeah. And it feels good to pay for [ __ ] because I just Ied up. I kept doing so I started ordering my stuff from Walmart so I didn't have to go to Walmart. But I didn't know I was banned. >> The women were charged with retail theft and trespassing. Even with past experience in shoplifting, underestimating the consequences only leads to greater trouble. Legal repercussions are inevitable, and trying to downplay or normalize theft leaves one vulnerable and exposed. Even worse, she committed her wrongdoing while under the influence. >> $178 worth of merchandise that you tried to steal. >> Glad it's alive. >> On August 6th, 2024, officers received a call from Walmart about a woman who had stuffed a backpack, one she had grabbed straight off the shelf full of merchandise. When the arrived on scene, the officer swiftly intercepted her just as she stepped past the final point of sale. You want to walk over here? Okay. I'm going to sit on the bench. Okay. >> Actually, you know what? Just face the wall for me. Face the wall. Separate your feet. No, no, just separate your feet. Spread. Okay, just stand up for me. >> She seemed completely cooperative with the officers, as if she were simply admitting to everything, but in reality, her mental state was far from stable. Her unsteady posture and unfocused eyes revealed the truth behind the calm facade. >> All right, you can have a seat. Sit right there. >> Front end team lead. Can I get a front end team lead to 100, please? >> I need a female. Female, please. >> What's your first name? >> Olivia. >> Last name? >> Connelly. >> Huh? >> Connelly. >> Connelly. >> Connelly. >> Connelly. >> J. >> J. What's your birthday? Have you ever been issued a Florida deal? Driver's license? Yes. >> Yeah. Okay. What's a good phone number for you? >> Um, >> there isn't one. >> You don't have one? >> No. >> Okay. >> Anyone else that can like call you or we can call them for your paperwork? >> The bag is ours also. It's right there. >> You live with anybody? >> Right there. Everything in here is ours and the bag. Okay. Thank you. >> What do you want? >> Can you give me Can you give me somebody else's phone number that can reach you? >> Don't forget any pictures. >> You don't have anybody? No. Okay. All right, just hang t for me. Okay. >> Her information came out scattered, partly because of her slow reactions, and it became clear she was under the influence of something shown through her strange behavior. >> Okay, I need another person here, please. >> Right now, >> thank you. You okay? >> Yeah. >> Um, do you know what items it was? >> She's she's talking now. Yeah, it was a bag, >> shampoo, toothpaste, a whole bunch of accessories, some clothes. Okay, let me uh let me just read >> markers and whatever. Right. I was watching you the whole time. You're pretty actually pretty good. >> Quick. I was watching I was on you. >> I'm going to read you something. Okay. Do you want to talk about why you're in handcuffs? >> It's your choice. You can decide not to talk or say anything or you can talk. >> Shoplifting. >> Okay. Her shoplifting was confirmed by the staff. And right after that, her unstable state became certain as officers found the items in her bag. >> Pretty much what I was going to ask you. So, you're good. Just hang tight for me. Okay. Um, do you still wish to talk? If I ask you questions about this, >> can I ask you questions? >> I guess you can. >> Yeah. Can you tell me what this is? >> That was already in the bag. That's not mine. >> It's not yours. >> So, you don't know what it is? >> When we test it, it's not going to be or anything like that. >> Okay. The bag we got from myself >> some Walmart supplying drugs in my bag. >> Okay. It was um Yeah, you going to be going to jail today. >> Yep. >> For shoplifting and then possession of whatever that ends up testing. >> It was $178. >> In reality, the woman knew exactly what she was doing. She didn't steal because she was unstable. She clearly understood what she had taken. even when the staff confronted her. >> What are you talking about? $170. >> $178 worth of merchandise that you trying to steal. >> That is a lie. >> Cuz literally it's pins, notebook, an outfit. >> That's >> all the accessories. >> Yeah. The accessories are $15 a piece. $18. The bag is $20. That stuff adds up. We don't have I got it all on video. I followed you around. >> I followed you around. >> What was the last? >> Yeah. Give me a second. 20. Can you also run a criminal history check for prior petty theft convictions? I'll write the statement while you do all the stuff you got to do. >> Yeah. I'm going to um actually get a test kit cuz I have to test it. >> All right. >> I'm not going to include that in my statement. I'm going to include >> Yeah. No, that's fine. Cuz I have to That's fine. >> She was charged with petty theft, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Even when someone tries to blame confusion or instability, their actions always speak louder. Clear awareness of wrongdoing will never erase the consequences. And once the evidence is found, there's no excuse left to hide behind. Next, this lying woman failed in her attempt to think herself smart. >> God, but I'm not doing anything. What is the problem? >> You know you're a new page, right? >> Emma? >> Yeah. Yeah. On September 9th, 2025, police received a call from Walmart reporting a scam in progress. The suspects were described as a man, a woman, and a young girl who had entered the store carrying empty microwave boxes, swapping them for new ones, and then returning the items for cash before fleeing. Using the store's description, officers closed in on the vehicle, while the suspects had no idea they'd already been exposed. I >> should be good. Man, how's it doing? Pulled you over because uh you need to see on your left and then you cross over the right sound line getting over the left. >> Okay, do me a favor. Can I get both your IDs? You both put your seat belts on and you were driving and then uh Do you have a seat for her or No, I got a seat. You got a seat. >> Before we leave, I'll just have to have to get out make sure the seats go because I can't see anything from right here. See that? You got to pull up. >> Do you have your ID, ma'am? >> No. >> No. Okay. Let me go to that side. >> As officers moved in, they confirmed the suspects matched the earlier report. Alongside their basic traffic violations, police also uncovered lies in the identities they had provided. >> All right, Deja. I believe this is not her name. I have you lines. So I'll either A I give your correct name or B I'm going to take you detain you bring the PD your fingerprints and then I'll find out who you are. You've already obstructed. You did anything with your name then? >> No. >> What say you know what's going to happen there? >> I don't see anything before on >> No, it wasn't. It's literally buckled behind you. I don't appreciate live. So So your your final offer and name is Deja C. >> Yes. Okay. So, right now you're detained. You open the door for me. >> So, I have to go to >> Open the door now. >> I have to go to the station. >> We're in a station. Open the door. >> I'm trying to figure out why >> you you're constantly instruction right now for lying. >> Why? >> So, open the door. >> She I don't know what >> open the door. >> He's telling me he's afraid this is my nicking. So, I don't understand him. >> Open the door. Bruce, >> I don't understand what he's doing. >> I'm going to ask I'm asking her to open the door. But you're pulling me out to get a sea. >> Are you going to open the door or no? >> Over obstruction. Correct. >> Obstruction because of what you think. >> No, you have a curse. Allegedly nothing's in there with your name on it with the name of Deja Collins. >> I think so. All of my business. I don't have anything. >> The vehicle quickly became a makeshift stronghold for the woman as she tried to stall the officers, but her defiance didn't last long. Police were ready to push harder. All right. Now you're under arrest. >> Why are you touching it? >> I'm not. But I'm not doing anything. >> What is the problem? >> You're not. Do not do that. >> I'm getting my date, sir. >> I'll put your face to >> I'm not tripping. You're lying. I don't want >> Who am I? >> Who am I? >> It was my video was going on. >> I'm not sure what's going here. I'm detained because he knows exactly who I am. So, I love you guys. Okay. >> I mean, why am I doomed? Like, what is all of this about? >> I believe you're lying about who you are. There's no proof of who you are. There's no record about who you are. >> There's no record. My name is Dave. >> I'm not going to call it. I should check your clock. Okay. >> Exactly. You're also Exactly. >> Okay. >> My cameras on. >> Is that good? >> Priority alert. >> Give me a second. >> Okay. >> In reality, these suspects had pulled the same trick at multiple stores, making it easy for police to recognize who they were. Officers tried to give the woman a chance to come clean. But even inside the patrol car, she refused to make anything easy. >> Should we try one more time? >> For what? >> What's your first name? >> If you know who I am, >> you really want to catch another charge. >> I really don't, but I mean I don't understand. What is all of this for? >> What is all this for? >> You're here already. All right. >> All right. >> So, what's your first name? >> What do you have? >> What's your first name? >> What do you have? >> You have to give me your first name. >> What do you have? >> You really want to catch another chocolate? >> You said you were going to give it to me. So if that's what you feel then you're going to do your >> So far we're at one count. We can do more counts though in county. >> What's your first >> What do you have? >> She really wants play. >> I don't want to play. >> So what's your first name? >> Why lie here? >> Why not just handle the [ __ ] that you got to handle and not catch anything else? >> Well, I mean that'll be fine, but I'm literally just leaving Walmart and you guys are pulling us over. Well, >> you didn't have seat belts on. You didn't use your turn signal or anything from Walmart. No, you didn't. I was behind you. >> Well, I wasn't driving, so [ __ ] I don't know. >> But you didn't have your seatelt on. >> But weren't you just the one? I was just checking your car out. You was just driving through there. What did they tell? Right. >> See, that's I told her. >> So, you tell me what. >> So, why lie? So, what's your name? >> That mean, >> whatever you going to do, officer, I know what it's going to be. >> But here, it could be less. >> Less of what? Less of what? He said he lied. First of all, he lied and said that there was no record of me, right? >> Which that's a lie, though. >> There's no record of the name you gave. >> How come it isn't? I can show you guys a record or something. Oh, she something up. >> What's her name? >> I didn't though. He did. >> I didn't mess anything up. >> Dad, you hear that? >> What? What's the address for the name you >> Her lies kept stretching further and further, but she had no idea her vehicle had already driven her straight into paying the price. >> You know you're in New Page, right? >> Emma. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So why do you want to catch a charge into the page? >> I DON'T. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I WAS in New Page. >> So what's your first name so you don't catch a charge in the cage? >> I think that's fair, right? That seems reason. >> You just told me you're going to charge me for a misdemeanor for not having a seat belt on, which is I rate, but like that's crazy. >> I mean, really, if I wanted to be difficult, I could charge you a battery on a police officer cuz you whacked OUT. >> I DIDN'T TOUCH YOU. >> DID SHE WHACK out of my hand? >> 100% got on video. Oh, so if we really want, we can go. >> You're being petty though. But you being petty. No, you're being petty. And you know I didn't touch you. >> You know I didn't though. >> Like in the real world, I asked you a question. I never touched you. >> He asked you about four times. He's allowed. >> He told me to step out the car. He was broken if it was >> I figured. So did I raise up the window? Do I did anything? I didn't though. >> He just spotted my hand. So we'll go there. But so here. So why be difficult? What's your first name? Do you really want to go back to the station? Fingerprint and all that. I mean, >> all right. I'll tell you my money. You just an [ __ ] That's what it is. >> No, >> but I want to go home with my family, bro. >> So, make it easy. Like, what's your name? >> I don't understand why I have to go through all of this. >> So, what's your name? >> Victory. >> Thank you. There we are. You got a couple more horns. >> I know that, but I don't want to go away. I'm just getting my place. Get a >> after a long stretch of persistence, officers finally pulled her real name out of her. And right after that, the man couldn't escape the consequences of his own actions either. >> So listen, right now you're also under arrest. Thank you for retail. >> Retail, huh? >> Yeah. >> What the is happening? >> So what did I just do? >> Grab a box in the shelves. Grab the microwaves. Return the microwaves. >> We're going to walk to the third car. Babe, what's up? >> Hello. I mean, I got a loud number. >> What the is happening right now, bro? >> So, what about >> Sit down? Ask a question. Will you sit down? What's up? What? My wallet. >> Where's your wallet at? What do you need out of the car right now? What do you need out of the car? Boot bag. My wallet. Gee, >> if we have if we have to transport her, I'm going to call you're going to make a phone call first. Okay. >> Give us a second to figure things out. You said your person's 25 35 minutes. What do you say if 35 >> 35 minutes? What a [ __ ] show. >> Officer, you're just a [ __ ] bro. She panicked as everything unfolded, unaware that her scam had already been exposed. But any excuse became impossible when officers uncovered multiple pieces of evidence inside her vehicle. >> An empty box turn. >> Nothing there to pick up. Okay. >> Oh, Jesus Christ. >> I'm trying to figure out how he charged with retail theft if he never took anything out the store. >> Taking someone out out of the store is not the only charge for retail theft. >> Okay. >> I don't think Are you used to Dupage County at all or No, >> no, >> we do things a little different here. >> Yeah, I see. So, y'all don't have the same laws as like Cook County? >> Oh, we have the same laws, just we actually go by them. Cook County doesn't. You >> might be right about that. >> Both were charged with retail theft, possession of displayed merchandise not exceeding $300 and failure to wear a seat belt. While Victory Swanigan also was charged with obstructing identification. and Antonio Collins also faced charges of open liquor in a vehicle. A child restraint violation, failure to use a turn signal. Once you choose to lie, cut corners, or pull the same scam over and over. The trail you leave behind will eventually expose you. Crime stacks up fast, and every dishonest move only tightens the net around you. In the next case, two women face two different fates, all hinging on their honesty. >> So now you can stand out. >> Take it right back out of them. Why you going to laugh? >> I I knew her name. She's been arrested a lot for shopping. >> You've been convicted. I have been arrested. >> On April 13th, 2024, officers were dispatched to Walmart after receiving reports of a female suspect in a black hoodie stuffing her backpack with merchandise, raising suspicions that she was a seasoned shoplifter. When they approached, police moved in instantly, issuing sharp warnings to prevent the situation from turning dangerous. >> How we doing? How we doing? Let's what we're going to do. Listen to me. Sorry to cook. You do not want to get tased. I'm just telling you straight up. I'm old school. So I don't I don't do all this running. I'm old. I'm just going to tase you. So I don't want you to resist. Okay? >> I got units pulling in right now. Multiple units. So there's no running, no getting away. >> So you're going to be detained on suspicion the shoplift. I'm being honest with you. So here's what's going to happen. >> We're sitting here watching. >> I'm going to take this down. It's all on video. So >> All right. Sorry about that. >> If that's okay, put the water down. Here you go, off Miss Bomb. Will, will you hold that for me? >> All right. Put your hand behind your back right now. >> What's up, >> guys? >> That's okay. Nothing personal. >> Yep. >> Thank you. >> I'm going to go get a receipt. >> Okay. Receipt. Can I just pay for it? >> Oh, we'll work on that right now. >> Like I said, you're just being detained right now. >> Look, just turn it in. That's where >> you want it. No, >> that's fine. Right. >> Usually it's a little det right here. >> The woman seemed shaken by what was happening. And although she stayed cooperative, the number of questions she asked quickly made officers suspect she might have a criminal past. >> We'll deal with that after we do some paperwork. >> Oh [ __ ] Can you just ask >> right in this other door over here? >> No, they're not. >> No, I'm saying we're just Why not? >> Have you ever been arrested for shoplifting? No. >> Never. >> No. >> All right. Sure. Go over ahead and run a criminal history on her also. >> All right. We're going to move this bag and have you sit right here. Okay. >> Inside the police holding room, another woman with the same shoplifting behavior had already been detained. Someone completely unrelated to her. As a result, officers now had to juggle both cases at the same time. >> All right. So, Carrie, you were telling the truth. Do your gut. So, like I promised, we're just police. >> So, now you can stand up and let your hand. >> Take it right back out of them. >> What I'm going to do is I'm going to grab your stuff so that we can just walk out the door and leave these guys when they need. >> I should get you to sign everything. That way, we have a little more room in here. And >> this is your one life warning. The >> second one you go to jail. Just a second. If >> you keep doing it, your fourth one is a felony. Doesn't matter if it's a dollar. >> Yellow candy. >> All right. So, the truth. >> If the second woman spoke the truth and walked away with her own lesson, then turning back to the original suspect, it seemed officers had uncovered one thing for sure. She hadn't been honest at all. >> Why are you going to laugh? I I knew her name. She's been arrested a lot for shopping. >> You've been convicted. >> All right. How many we got? Let's see. >> Two were dismissed already. >> Okay. Well, it don't matter if you going to take me to jail. >> Well, it depends on the difference between felony and >> we have to read it. >> No, don't if you going to take me to jail. >> Literally do. >> Okay. Well, that's fine. Y'all need to call my dad. >> Well, you can call him. >> Okay. Well, that's fine. We >> can't smoke a cigarette. No. See, we were being nice and then you want to get attitude. We don't get favors for additive. >> You did lie. >> Okay. Well, it is what it is. >> You're right. >> Just one. >> Just one conviction. >> Okay. So, just two other words. Yeah. >> You taking this one? >> Let's go then. Hold on. I want to Oh, wait. Hold on. >> I tell you what. Go put her in the car. >> Hold on. All right. Just walk. Stay in here and we can do them. >> Sorry. >> She was charged with shoplifting. When you lie to dodge responsibility, you only dig yourself deeper. Honesty from the start could spare you consequences that grow worse with every false word. Another shoplifting couple. They shamelessly erased any sense of guilt from their minds. >> Yeah. You're under arrest. >> No. For what? >> For stealing. >> I I didn't do nothing. What are you talking about? Like I don't want to answer any more questions. >> How am I supposed to investigation? No problem. On March 18th, 2025, police received a report from Walmart about two suspects with a history of theft who were present in the store and it was suspected that they were repeating the same behavior. When officers arrived at the scene, the store employee quickly reported the incident to them. >> Simmons was their last name. We've got multiple out of Waverly. They back they skip scan stuff at the registers. We got put on to them and ran their card. >> My boss probably has 20 cases, 15 cases that he's put in. under $1,000 from past thefts and we've got a dozen or more items not scanned. I just got to get the receipt, but they're both in there. But that's the >> from this jurisdiction. >> Yeah. Um we I've got Aurora pulled up. I can show you where they're in the system, what they're what they've been doing. But uh we've just been waiting. I had them in the other day, but the handheld was messing up and it was like two items. I was like, we'll wait and get a solid. And this is actually I go back every every time you've been in here. >> This was $188. >> This one's 56, which is a lower one. $114. I mean, there's 20 20 or more cases that you guys were involved in. I know what you're trying to tell me. You didn't do anything wrong, but I mean, why do you think I was watching it? >> This is two cases out of Waverly. >> This is one That's why I mean >> they've been involved in 18 events. >> 16 from us so far. that's loaded up. This one's $21. That's him pushing it out. There's her blue pickup truck. Um, their total value is 1356 at the moment. >> And it's it's all either not scanning stuff at the register or um scanning one, bagging two, three. We have receipts all the photo. >> Even they had already been informed of the full extent of the damage they had caused. Yet they showed no shame even when hearing about what happened today. >> Well, it was absolutely you guys. I mean, I'm not making it up. I watch the video. >> So, we were with another person there. >> What we did was run we got put onto it by a selfch checkckout host >> and she said, "Hey, I don't think they paid for all their stuff, which is common how this happens." So, then we pulled the last four of the credit card, ran their name, and pulled up all their Walmart transactions. That's why we got one hit out of Columbus and a couple out of Waverly. I believe on Facebook it says it's from Waverly, but that's how we got their name. >> Uh I believe it's Heather Simmons. >> Well, that his old address is Wally on his ID. >> Okay. And then so we just started watching the transactions and sure enough every time they're in, they miscan. She'll stand and stare at the selfch checkout host. He'll do most of the baggage. >> Do do what you got here. >> Yeah. And then you know we can we can reference the other cases of elsewhere and then uh the court can take that into account. >> Yeah. No, but >> all that stuff is completely up to you. We just wanted to make sure we put all those together for the court hearing or whatever before I'll make sure put together. >> Okay. >> At that moment, the police decided to separate the two suspects for questioning. But despite the wrongdoing, the woman's attitude did not reflect that >> and then we'll figure out that after this >> talk to him. I'll talk to her out here >> because we we don't have the authority to >> step out here and talk to me. >> Can we get away from all the people? >> Step out. >> Let's go out front. >> Let's go out front. >> I'm not going to go that far. You can sit right here on this bench. >> So, apparently this is a thing that happens frequently. >> I'm not trying to be funny when I say this, but how can every little detail from a scanner? >> Oh, there's cameras. >> I understand that. But I understand that also things can be mishand accidentally. Not saying it's always, >> but you can't say that every time we come in here we steal something. That's not right. >> So, not that question. I'm not worried about that right. What happened today? >> No, we was I always stand there and talk to people cuz I know everybody in here. >> So, >> literally stand there and talk to everybody. >> What wasn't scanned? >> I guess a few things. It was probably some lotion, something. Um, some chicken, some cheese, I guess. But we paid for everything in the cart. Like I guess >> I get that you pay for some items, but you pay for all the items except for like eight things. I think it was like >> eight things is kind of a lot of things. >> I get that. I get that. I >> How do you forget eight times that you didn't scan? >> Well, I think he gets like he said he thinks he confuses someone else's scan when he's scanning his beside you. Doesn't make sense. >> I mean, I get that, but at the same time, >> you're feeding me a lot of bull is what you're doing. >> Not at all. So, at the end of the day, no, >> it's every single time. I don't give a [ __ ] how much you make. >> But listen to me. Every time every time you come here, every time you come here, you guys are caught not scanning things. Okay, that's fine. >> It seemed that based on her own bias, she tried to control the police officer, but nothing could change the fact that he had already made his decision based on what she had done. >> I step back in here. You're going to go to jail today, though. >> No, I'm not. >> Bet. Step inside. >> Stand up and turn around right now. >> No. >> Yeah, you're under arrest. >> No. For what? >> For stealing it. >> I I didn't do nothing. What you talking about? Right now you're being detained. So stand up. >> I'm not going to be detained. >> Okay. Let me verify something just real quick today. Right now she assisted in not scanning items. Correct. >> Is that the register there every time? >> Okay. And she you said she was looking around while he was not scanning items. >> Yeah. >> But I talked to a lot of people here in videos. I know everybody and it's every time they're together. They're not scanning items and they're together and she's doing the same behavior >> every time. >> Okay. You're under arrest. >> I talked to everybody. >> You're under arrest >> for what? Stand up for theft. >> You cannot arrest me. >> If you don't stand up and turn around, you're going to be having additional charges added to your booking sheet. >> All right. Can I give my stuff to my husband then? >> No. Set it. We'll hand it whatever we need to. >> We have a lot of money here. If you can just put it in my purse. Thank you. >> Turn around. >> Want your cup? >> Have you talked to him yet? >> Huh? >> You talked to him yet? >> No, not yet. >> What's your phone? Okay, just uh keep them separate while you're talking to him. I'll stay out here with her, too. >> In contrast to the woman, the man remained relatively calm, trying to resolve everything while also taking full responsibility for his part. >> I have the passion. I didn't mean this. This is like honest to God, I didn't mean to. >> Right. But you do realize that when you come in, >> I I went I missed that plastic thing. I missed the body wash. But see, when I missed the plastic thing, I knew what I did. >> I hit it, >> right? >> And then I thought I hit the gun >> and then it's not like I was just like, "Hey, you know what? I understand. >> I'm going." >> And it's a a valiant thing you're doing as a man, what not, but I I do not believe that she did not know. >> No, she she >> she immediately told you to shut up and stop talking to us when you guys got in there. >> No, she wasn't saying that. She said I was smoking too much. >> Mhm. because you admitted to not scanning this stuff. She didn't want >> She didn't mean it like that. >> No, she didn't mean it like that, bro. I promise you she didn't mean it like that. She was just telling me to shut the up cuz I was talking >> pretty much saying he had she had nothing to do with it. Um you're the one that missed the items and saying that he knows that he missed them. >> We're here together every day. >> Did you watch a video? watch today's video and then just >> she uh >> they're saying that she's like looking out for and stuff so >> or the items food and stuff >> food uh pregnancy chest and >> the suspect continued to justify their actions as a mistake refusing to take any responsibility which forced the police officer to remind them of their prior history. I accidentally missed this [ __ ] today. >> Not a big deal times 20 turns out to be a big deal. You know what I'm saying? >> Yeah, I I get that, but I did not mean to miss. >> I mean, you're to the point where you're an alert uh database over all the Walmarts in the local area. Like, how do you how do you because you made a mistake a couple >> Wely, I didn't steal [ __ ] I had my daughter with me. >> But you're saying you didn't steal anything this time, too. And clearly, >> no, I I just told him when I got in here. She's clearly involved in I'm not like but if I try to tell you outside and you like you kept me so you don't want to answer any more questions. >> Be quiet. >> How am I supposed to continue my investigation? You got problem right next to him when he's not standing on hand to him. >> See what I mean? Get aggressive. >> I'm not being aggressive. I'm telling you my >> shut up are too small. >> More. >> They're like the little baby cups. >> And more for real. She had nothing to do with it. Honest to God. Oh, >> in the end, the couple was arrested and charged with felony theft. A continuous and deliberate pattern of theft will inevitably be detected. Refusing to take responsibility or justifying one's actions only makes the legal consequences more severe. Even more striking, this woman cared more about her love than the crime she committed. >> You had a warrant unaware. >> I do have one here. >> Here. >> Yeah. >> That's the only one you know about. On February 18th, 2024, officers responded to a report and detained a woman who had stolen here. She was known to have returned just days earlier for a similar act. When confronted, the woman immediately explained her reasons for her actions. >> Okay. So, walk me through what happened with the frames. >> I just took them because we needed money. We have nowhere to live. >> Okay. >> What day did that happen on? >> I guess it was the 15th. >> The 15th. Okay. >> So, that would have been what? Thursday. >> Okay. >> So, you don't have an ID in this bag? >> No. >> Anything with your name on it? >> No. >> But you have a Washington state ID? >> I haven't got it yet. >> No. You You must have had some kind of ID. >> Cuz here's the thing. I mean, >> unless I can identify you here, I'm going to have to take you to jail cuz then >> they'll identify you through fingerprints, right? >> Yeah. You know what? You don't need me to know. >> You don't. >> Okay. What's your last name? >> I'm very flexible. Okay. You don't have to go to jail. >> But you need to tell me the truth. >> Tell me the truth. >> The woman tried to lie in vain. But even when caught by the officers, she refused to tell the truth. Immediately prompting the police to raise suspicious questions. >> Is it you did you kill somebody? Is it a major warrant with a high bail? >> I think I don't know. I got released and I went to rehab, >> but I didn't check in. >> We didn't check in with >> Oh, okay. >> because my car >> that I got to check 12 >> I'm going to jail. >> I don't know. >> Add the phone number for you. >> I'm going to have her search you though. >> Yeah, I'm about an address. >> Who has the keys to the U-Haul? I don't. >> You do? Okay. >> I I Yeah. See what's going on, baby. You know what I'm saying? Sorry. >> I'm not just saying that's it. It happened. You know, >> it wasn't intentional. I mean, >> I know I lost his car and I had to stay with him. >> He's sleeping in the street. Somebody stole the car and everything. >> Yeah. >> I'm going to check. >> I'm staying with him. >> Okay. >> I'm staying with him. >> Yeah. Go ahead and check the check the pictures. >> Got to make sure. >> No, I'm just saying I've been locked up before, though. Yeah, >> I usually do it. I usually go to jail. I usually go to jail. >> I don't know. I have to run you first. But she's going to patch it down. >> H. >> Do you have to run away? >> But I need to steal anything today. >> No, I don't. >> You already stole the things though. >> The woman's tears seemed deceitful as she could appear completely composed immediately afterward. Moreover, according to staff, she seemed quite skilled at handling the situation promptly when confronted. >> She went to try to return it as well. >> So, she loaded bags full and we were watching her. Then she went right to the service desk, passed through the registers. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Um and we denied that return as well. >> That wasn't I didn't I I rememberation. I've never been decision. >> My ID. >> Sorry. >> I have an ID. I want to go to return station. >> Yeah, you did. >> Yeah. So she tried to return >> but was denied. >> Okay. >> Well, he I told him to walk away. >> No. >> Did I miss anything? Do you have anything in your pocket? >> No. >> You okay? >> No, I'm not. I'm not. No ID, dishonest and adept at handling being caught red-handed, the woman showed a high level of professionalism. And she likely had a far longer criminal history than she realized. >> Oh, she got a federal Noel warrant. >> DUI. >> DWLS3 and DUI. >> Oh, yeah. Uh, >> do you need any statements taken? >> No. I know. >> You said you had a warrant out of where I have one here. >> Here? >> Yeah. >> That's the only one you know about. >> Okay. So, we might have to get that taken care of, too. >> I am. >> I better I better take care of it. I'm taking care of it. This is an eye opener. Okay. I don't want to look like this. I don't. Please. >> Right now, we're just checking on that warrant to see if we can. >> I'm scared. I'm really scared. >> I went too long. My husband was a cop and he passed away. He went suicided a year and a half ago. >> I'm sorry. >> And I went down to my friends. I'm sorry, but I don't have anybody. >> At this point, the woman's tactics escalated, sharing stories about her family to elicit sympathy merely to make herself believe she could plead for some kind of leniency. >> I'm never going to chance. I don't I want to go to jail. Just please. >> Well, the warrant that you have is no bail. That's why we have to take care of it. >> Where'd he go? >> I think he just went back to the the truck. >> In the in the event that you do need to come back for trial, we we would provide the transportation back to Featherway. >> And I give him a hug. >> Um, >> please. >> Yeah. If he's still here, we can try to track him down. >> It's No, Bill. I'm going to get down. >> I'm going to >> Well, do you know what it's for? >> It's just DUI. I mean, it's a very serious crime, but >> No. >> You okay with her? >> You okay if I if he gives a hug to her before they leave? >> Oh, yeah. She's patted about you. >> Yeah. >> In reality, her tears were not remorse for her wrongdoing, but regret over being caught and separated from her new boyfriend. So, the officers allowed them a brief farewell before taking her away. Priscilla, what's a good phone number? >> Hey, it's going to be okay. >> It's going to be okay. um take you to school and then you can call anytime. You want to look right? >> No. Never. >> We're going to give Don the bag. Okay. So you'll have your >> bag. Yes. >> Even better for a minute. Okay. We can get better. We can get get ourselves together. Anyway, >> we can get ourselves together. Okay. We can't >> I don't know. find you, babe. >> In the end, she was charged with retail theft. The lesson is that dishonesty and emotional manipulation only worsen consequences when caught. What do you think about cases like this?

Next, meet this stammering woman whose every lie ended up creating a gap for herself. >> Why have handcuffs on? He He just >> Why you put handcuffs on? You he >> Because you're lying. >> I'm my only support system. Like I do have to go pick up pick up my daughter from school at 4:30. Like this. >> On June 13th, 2024, police received a report from a retail store in a busy shopping center about a woman suspected of stealing. When officers closed in, she had no idea she was already trapped between them on the escalator. >> So, you have to walk back up. >> Yes. >> How are you? >> I'm good. >> I'll talk to you at the bottom. How are you? >> Well, for what? >> Uh, we believe you. >> Uh, we believe you stuffed stuff in your purse and walked out of dicks with it. >> No, I have not. No, I have not. So, do do have do you have me on camera doing that? >> We do. >> Okay. Can you show me? We'll get to it. Yeah. ID on you. >> Do I have ID on you? >> We don't have to go that far. >> Yes, we do have to go that far because I I have I have a ticket.

Theft. >> What did I What did I take? >> We don't know yet. We got >> some green items. >> Some green items. >> Nike items. >> No, I have not. >> Okay. Well, you still have to tell me who you are. >> Soon as soon as I walked up, the lady was like, "Oh, um, are you paying for that hat?" I said, "The head that I the head that I walked in here with? >> Why would I be paying for a head that I walked in here with?" >> Okay, >> I'm being I'm being pro I'm being profiled for what? >> She immediately denied any suspicion, but she kept repeating herself, speaking quickly and trying to divert attention to her hat, which only made her look more suspicious. Next, see how she reacted when she was told the police had footage of her on camera. >> Your purse? >> No. >> From that changing room. You're on video of doing it. We're here to ask you >> on video putting stuff in the change room. Is it What's your social other camera in the change room? >> Not in the change room. Somewhere in there somewhere outside.

That's exactly what I just said. >> That's exactly what I just said. >> Black male, white. >> Who are you at dicks with today? >> My boyfriend. >> What's his name? Why? >> Slides. >> Where's he at? >> Serious. >> Why? >> No. >> Because we want to talk to him as well. >> For For what? Did he take anything? >> You're on the phone with him. >> Did he take anything? >> We're trying to figure out a minute. >> We're not with him right now. >> Hello. >> Hello. Hello.

Yes. I'm not I'm not I'm not doing that. >> She clearly tried to use her boyfriend as a diversion, making him appear suspicious, but her attempt failed. The woman gradually showed clear signs of non-ooperation, even denying every accusation without any proof. >> What am I being detained for? Because it looks like you have stuffed in your shirt. >> You got stuff. You got stuff stuffed in your shirt. >> But you can't tell me. >> Then prove it. Then prove it's your bag. Let us and we'll be done. >> You can't No, you you didn't tell. You didn't show me. >> Give me this phone. Give me your bag. >> You're going to be not pull away from me. Give me your bag. >> Why are you taking my This is This is This is wrong. Are we Are we being recorded? Are Are you guys >> process? We're going through a process. >> Okay. But this is wrong. >> We're going to go in and verify the cameras right now. You're going to be detained until we're done. >> That's all we're doing. >> Okay. So, why are why are you taking my purse? We're not because you're not going back in the back of the car with >> We wouldn't if you were a male with anything. You don't go back and cruising. >> So why do I have to sit in the car? >> Cuz we got to go look at the video. >> Why can't I come get the video video with you?

If you if there's nothing in that person I've never been through this situation to where >> you're not answering the question. Okay. Give me your purse and you're having a seat in the back. >> I'm holding up the camera. Like I said, there's several ways we can do this. >> Sir, can you not Why you Why you grabbing me like that? >> I'm not grabbing you anything. >> They Why are y'all taking my purse? >> I'm getting set up here. >> Okay. >> At this point, the police began searching her bag. It became clear that her actions from the start had facilitated the wrongdoing. Even though she had aluminum foil to bypass the store's security. >> So, that's that's that's >> why would you have it in there? I don't understand. Because that's from >> No. >> Yeah. >> Did you pay for these items? >> They're not from the store. So, I was going up there trying to put try how to put things together.

I have not. I promise you. Like he said, we would have loved to cut you loose with a summon and gotten you on your way because it's a misdemeanor, >> right? >> But you're lying to me. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Can I please say something, please? Please, please, please. Sure. >> What do you think she would say now? Of course, she had no choice but to admit her actions. Under the pressure from the police and facing overwhelming evidence, she couldn't keep her lies going any longer. >> I apologize. Okay. >> Okay. Yes, I took took some things, but all of the things were not from this location to be. So once the lady was like, "Oh, uh, are you going to pay for this? Are you going to pay for that sun visor hat?" That's what threw me off on her. That's what made me was like, "Oh, okay. I'm about to I'm about to just leave." So that's I'm >> Go ahead. Where do you want me to meet you? >> I'm at the lower parking garage with Dicks off of Blake Street. Okay. >> Like I really I I have I have two kids. I had to go get my daughter my daughter's from daycare at 5:30. >> Okay. >> Is your boyfriend here? What What does he drive? >> No, I made I l I literally tried to make that up as far as the whole >> Well, there was somebody here with you. >> Yeah, but he went the um son of a butcher >> to wait for you. >> No, he left. He was like, I'm not. He said he said I'm not. Is that who you were on the So you said you came in here with some of these but not all of them. Which items did you take? Is it the green stuff? >> The Yes. Um the the pink the black one, the white one, and the pink one. >> The black one, the white one, and the pink. >> Yeah. Well, yes. This one, the black, this black one, and the white one, and the pink one. >> Where did these come from? >> These I was trying to get these. I was trying to match up with some shorts. Some shorts for them, but I didn't see the colors of the shorts. >> So, you're not going to be on video putting these in your purse? >> No, they're not. They're not going to see me on video putting these in my purse at all. I don't know what >> Did you pay for anything in there or did you just walk up to the cash register, saw us up there, and walk this way? >> No, I was I was I was going to pay for it $111, but my declined and I asked her if they had any have an ATM in there. >> It didn't stop there. Just as the police had accused and she had tried to deny, she now admitted that she still had several other items hidden on her person. >> So like um >> Is there items in your shirt right now, too? >> I guess I have one item in my shirt right here on my um on my bra. Okay, leave it there. >> Okay. >> I'm going to have a female officer from Mason come here and she's going to help you get that out. Okay. >> Okay. >> I I'm not going to do that with you. All right. >> Don't reach for it. Don't be >> pulling. I'm not I'm not doing I'm not doing any of that. >> Okay. Watch your feet. All right. >> Sorry. What's even more striking is that she came here with the intent to do wrong. And even now, she treated it as if it weren't serious, trying to use her role as a parent to plead with the police for some kind of leniency. I'm I'm I'm this is on camera so I know I'm my only support system. Like I do have to go pick up pick up my daughters from school at 4:30 like this. >> What school do they go to? >> Nobody nobody to be able to get them at all. Like I I don't like even if even if you guys take me to go get them like just to make sure they get to where they at. Like I can't. >> Who drove you here? >> I told um I had got an Uber here. Who were you? No, you didn't. >> I You were here with a male. >> Yeah. Yes. Yes. That's >> That was your Uber? >> No, I met I met him here. I literally met him here. I promise you. And I can I call him right now. He'll tell you. And you can check the cameras on the outside. I did not. I met him here. >> I did meet him here. I did not. That's that's the honest truth. I'm tired of lying. I cuz my daughters need me. Like I I promise you. >> How many daughters do you have? >> I have two. >> How old are you? >> I have a six-year-old and a three-year-old. >> Okay. and they attend will treat daycare and I can call the daycare and and and so you can you can hear that they're that they're there in their presence. >> Good relationship with your mom and aunt. >> My mom she's a flight attendant. >> She's a flight attendant. >> Yes. >> That's pretty cool. >> And she's out of she's out of out of the week. Like I promise you like I'm sorry. I I I apologize. Like this is for even being uncooperative, but I knew I had to get them and I didn't I just didn't want to >> You're making it You made it pretty difficult with the way that you behaved when we first talked. I know because I thought I was going to go to jail. I swear. I promise. I promise you. I thought that was why I didn't even I didn't even >> In the end, she was charged with theft and possession of stolen property. Lesson. Trying to lie or shift blame only makes the situation worse. Cooperation and honesty are always the smarter path when facing consequences. In the next case, the woman was called into work only to realize that it was her last day on the job. my target. >> Taking money and put it in my pocket. >> Yeah. >> No, I didn't take any money and put in my pocket. >> On June 24th, 2024, police were dispatched to a 7-Eleven store after a report of theft. The suspect, believed to be an employee, had allegedly stolen cash and merchandise. Upon arrival, the manager explained what she had discovered. >> So, specifically, what did she do? Um yesterday um she was caught stealing cash by another employee out of the register cuz it it makes the next employee short. >> Yeah. >> So I came up I put the numbers in. I came up short $177. >> And then they know that whatever you take home is not free. >> They know they have to purchase whatever. >> So she was caught also. This is the everything that she's she took and just put it in a bag and left with it also. >> Okay, sounds good. So, just write there the So, first uh that's you can use that pen or whatever pen you want. Just state your name right there. Alpha alpha. So just state that what she did and the amount she stole and that she was not allowed >> and we're not told by management to steal. >> Based on what the manager reported, the amount caught on camera yesterday was $177, but the actual losses could be higher if previous incidents are taken into account. >> She also was scheduled to come today. Um, is there a certain amount that she have to be arrested for? No, it could literally be a dollar. >> Okay. >> Cuz it came up for 177 plus the item that she >> Is this consecutively or is this off? >> It happened twice last week that she came up short. Um but she said that she mistakally rung up a um gave a custom too gas. So I didn't think nothing. Yep. Um last week, but then yesterday >> that's when we actually watch the cameras and stuff like that and a c another case I mean another employee seen her take and then that's when we know about it. Uh 457. What time is she supposed to be here? At 11. But she's going to be left because I gota I gotta um she tried to call out because I think she freaking it. So I talked to in the comments so she told me if I can send her Uber cuz she don't have any money that she >> um she put it down and then she put it in. >> All right. You saw you got that right? >> Yeah. Just try to >> put it down and then >> At this point the police and the manager devised a plan to apprehend her. She was called in to work as usual. completely unaware that officers were waiting outside, ready to enter and catch her by surprise. >> Scared. >> Oh lord. I know it's time for me to go. God damn. I'm going to go through the box. How about yourself? >> About to get arrested. They come back down too, man. >> What is this? >> You're being a team. He's going to talk to you. >> What's your name? >> Okay. We going to need two two cups. >> Yes, please. >> I'm about to get you to get associated. >> I'm being come out this way. >> I'll just talk. >> Is this your phone? >> Yeah. >> You want that? The police's plan failed. She wasn't surprised at all. In fact, she calmly chewed gum, maintaining a composed expression as she faced all of the officer's questioning. >> You have the right to remain silent. Do you understand? >> Uhhuh. >> Anything you say may be used against you in court. Do you understand? >> Mhm. >> You have the right to talk to a lawyer before and during questioning. Do you understand? >> If you cannot afford a lawyer and want one, one would be better for you before questioning without charge. Do you understand? Okay. >> Has anyone threatened you or promised you anything to get you to talk to me? >> No. >> Okay. So, do you know why we're here today? >> Honestly not. >> Okay. So, there's footage of you taking some money from the register and putting it in your pocket. And then there's also a video of you taking items and not paying for it. So, do you know anything about that from yesterday? >> Taking money and putting it in my pocket? >> Yeah. No, I didn't take any money and put it in my pocket. >> Okay. Well, there's video of you doing it. So, >> of taking money and put it in my pocket. >> Yeah. >> Yesterday around 4:56. >> I didn't leave home with any money. Leave it. >> Well, the register was short, too. So, >> I didn't leave here with any money yesterday, though. >> Okay. And what about the stuff that you didn't pay for? >> What stuff? The stuff that I had? >> Yeah. It was paid for. >> There's a whole receipt. >> Yeah, there's there's receipts listing things that you didn't pay for. >> A whole receipt of what? >> Of stuff that you didn't pay for. Be turkey. >> Do you have anything on you that we need to know about? >> No. >> No, you didn't take anything today. >> No, I didn't take anything yesterday. >> Okay. >> Although she adamantly denied all accusations, the police had video evidence provided by the manager, giving them sufficient grounds to proceed with her arrest. For what is my charge? >> It's going to be petite theft. >> Huh? >> Petite theft. >> Since you have prior convictions, it's going to be a felony. >> Where in the world stealing money yesterday from the store? I didn't even leave here with a dollar. >> How you doing, sir? >> How you doing? Oh, wow. >> I was already going to show >> Can I get my stuff? >> What stuff do you have? >> My bag. >> Where's your bag >> inside? >> What does it look like? >> They know what it look like. >> What? What does it look like? Cuz they don't at the jail. They don't want anything else. >> Except it has a bag. >> They don't bag. Is it black? >> Don't worry about it. I'll just have my boyfriend pick it up. >> Yeah, because if not, you're going to have to pick it up from property and evidence, which is far as here. >> Okay. I don't want my leg out of here. >> Well, I need that key. >> I got to stay safe here so I'll bring it with you properly. >> Oh, you want me to leave it here with the with the bag? >> Yeah. And I need a um I need a way to get his number. So, cuz I don't know it by heart. >> Where is it in your phone? >> No, it's Well, my phone is at home, but I need the his job number. >> So, I need somebody to look it up. It's on her. Um >> In the end, she was charged with pettit theft. Trying to act nonchalant or lie to cover up theft only makes things worse. Honesty and accountability are always the safer path. Next, this woman showed no shame in lying, even when all her actions had been fully exposed. >> This is supposed to be toenail cutters, right? >> Snip stuff and then this goes inside >> for that. It was I swear to God, it was bought off my car. You can pull my car. >> You pay for that. On November 9th, 2021, police received a report from a shopping mall about a black woman using a tool to remove security tags and conceal items in her bag. In bra, upon arriving, officers met with loss prevention staff and coordinated an initial plan to apprehend her. >> Where's she at? She's up in She's polo. She come out out the door here. Take a left, go straight down, take a right, she's going to be right there, >> actually. >> So, it's on the second floor. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. This is going to be difficult. >> Have y'all seen her already stuff items >> or do anything >> in her in her bag? She's We think she's got some sort of tool. She's fiddling with the sensors. She keeps going back into her bra. >> Okay. >> Do y'all want to wait for her to pass anything or how do y'all >> do y'all want us to make contact now? >> Yeah. >> You guys prefer to wait until she leaves? >> Wait till she leaves. That way. Yeah. She she going to court. She can't say no. I didn't pass my phone. >> Hey, so she's going to be on the second floor. It's going to be a black female heavy set stuffing items into her bag. Um, they want to wait, white shirt, black pants. They want to wait until she uh leaves. So, um, then we'll just go ahead and make contact with her then, but we got eyes on her. She's in the children's section on the second floor. >> The police decided to wait and catch her in the act. Meanwhile, she continued her actions, completely unaware that she was being monitored by the mall's surveillance system, which the officers admired. She's taking old bald though, which is pretty expensive, too. >> Yeah, she's taking a decent The bag's definitely getting a lot bigger as she's going. I just don't know how much longer she's going to be in here. >> So, those are Old Nate. Is that Old Navy on the bag? >> Yep. >> Y'all got some good cameras. That's like some CIA FBI >> that you see on TV. >> We should have the popcorn so we can >> She She's not very slick about it. Picked her out right away. She's looking around for other people, but she's failing to look up and notice that there's cameras here. >> I think she just It's 2021. Every place has cameras. They can zoom in and read your text messages. Don't do anything illegal. >> What is she into that Old Navy bag or her purse? >> Both. Also, one in the purse. >> She put items in both bags. >> Yeah. She keeps going up behind the rack. So, we've we've caught like partially concealing it, but we know it's going in the bag. She's coming out without it. >> Have you guys actually seen the tool? It's it's like some kind of curve hook or something like she using that. Oh >> yeah, she does. She does the same. >> She's sticking it in the top. >> It may be It's not uncommon or it's not super common, but sometimes they use razor blades. >> See, she's sticking it's like some kind of hook that she stick here and take the sensors off >> and she's concealing the cross. She kick in and out of her shirt. >> The woman's every trick and move had been fully observed. When the moment came, the police immediately moved in and caught her red-handed just as she was about to leave. >> Mall. She's on that escalator heading downstairs. >> She's walking towards the entrance. >> Inside of the mall. >> Yeah. Like going into the mall, not mobile. >> Okay. >> Okay. 41 to 44. She's going back to the aborn side. Stay over there. She She walked out. 41. She just walked out. >> All right, we got her. Can you give us all the merchandise? Have a seat. >> Do you have your ID with you, ma'am? Is it in your bag? >> Is it in your purse? >> Yeah, we got it. >> All the evidence pulled from her bag was enough to charge her. And the police also found her tool. Funny enough, even with all the proof in front of her, she still tried to lie. >> This is right here. >> Yeah, that's it. >> Like, >> this is supposed to be toenail cutter, but snip stuff. And then this goes inside >> to take the sensors off. >> All right. I got some coming with the camera. >> Okay. >> Oh, okay. 1622. >> Let me put that amount. >> 1622. >> Okay. >> You have a receipt that's dated and time stamp for today. >> For today. >> It was No, it wasn't for today. It was just in that bag, but I got the receipt for that. It was I swear to God, it was bought off my card. You can pull my card. >> So, you paid for that? How long ago? When when did you buy this? >> Four days ago. >> Four days ago. And it happens to be in the same bag with the merchandise that you stole today. >> I bought that bag in here. You can look at your camera and see. I bought that bag in here with that in there because I was returning I came here originally to return a purse that I bought off of if you >> So, okay. >> Look at my purse. You still receipts can be >> Do you have proof that you did already buy that? Besides from our from our debit card, and it's it's been paid for, I promise you. >> I know. >> The items on her receipt didn't match what was in her bag, completely undermining her denials. The store manager also provided a statement, raising further suspicion. >> No, from bel. >> She had a receipt in her purse that she pulled out, tried to tuck in into that bag to look like she was paying for it. She probably used it at another store. >> I came in here with a purse. Okay. I had that in the old Navy bag with those pants in it. And I had that purse in here. I would that see that's proof of the purchase right down the back the yellow sticker. No look on the back of the tag you just looked. >> That's proof of purchase. That's what they put on there. >> Proof of purchase required for return. >> Yeah. >> That's when you steal it and you go in and you try to say, "Hey, I bought this, but I lost my receipt, so can I return this?" And then they It doesn't matter. She's already going to jail. It was over a felony amount. >> I can promise to go. >> It doesn't matter. >> Yeah, I know. No, it's not making a big deal out of it. But she just ask me a question. >> Okay. >> 619 sub total is 562. >> Hold on. 562. So that's the amount that we have there. >> Yeah. Which one? >> The subtotal, not including the tax, but >> it's still a felony. Yeah, it's it's on here. I was just looking at the wrong amount. >> Regardless, the stolen items alone were enough to charge her with a felony. This raises the question, what was behind her actions? A reason that will truly disappoint you in this woman. >> You got kids or you trying to sell that? >> I have kids that that stuff was going to go to. >> What do you want? >> You work? >> I really was trying to sell it. >> Did that Uber lift job? Get a few extra dollars in the legal way. It is a learning experience. >> How she going to get keys to get in the house and stuff? This is awful. I'm so stupid. And I got >> She doesn't have her own keys to the house. >> Well, she somebody stole her, so she just lost everything. But I got a cousin that live in Savannah. But >> 56250. following shoplifting and also possession of tools and a commission into a crime. >> It's taken as a learning experience and trying not to let it happen again and everybody makes mistakes. >> I'll do that. >> The woman was charged with felony shoplifting and possession of tools. No matter how clever someone thinks they are, surveillance and evidence catch every move. Trying to justify theft or lie in front of proof only worsens the consequences, turning a momentary act into a serious felony. >> We going to jail. >> Do you guys want to press charges? >> Hell no. We was just being cool. >> Let her said, "Babe, I'm going to jail." >> My dumb ass. You know, >> on January 10th, 2025, officers were dispatched to a Walmart following a report of two women shoplifting. Upon arrival, both were taken into the loss prevention room and their attitude was truly something to note. >> Why? You lying to me. >> You lied. Oh, >> ladies. >> No, it's not. Hi, officer. >> All right. I'm officer. I got a body camera. >> Yes, you do. >> Yes, ma'am. Uh, do you guys have IDs on you? >> No, I don't. >> I got a picture.

Got the physical copy. >> Um, do you have your >> You going to jail? >> Huh? >> Me going to jail. >> I don't. Do you guys want to press charges? >> Hell no. We was just being cool. Let her let them talk to you. >> When y'all go to search them, uh, they have our merchandise either on or under the clothes they're wearing right now. >> Yeah. All right. >> Where's everything at? Because >> I just take it all. It's under my hoodie. >> It's in your hoodie. >> Under. >> Under your hoodie. >> I got to physically >> Okay, I got you. >> The woman in red clearly displayed her arrogance, seemingly unconcerned about the consequences, even asking questions as if she already knew every detail of the police arrest process. >> So, when I have to like call somebody to come get me, cuz my car is here, Cuz yeah, we know somebody have to come to come get us. Yeah, man. I don't know. Yet numbers or something so we can call people. >> So you'll everything you have on you will be going with you.

Like where are they going? >> You're gonna have to take that up with Walmart. >> Can we you have money back? >> Um that's up to y'all if you want to. There's couple options. Y'all kind of take the stuff with y'all or we can do a full refund. We don't hold anything over. >> Is it all this stuff? >> Yes. >> Pay for Let's do a full refund. >> Okay. >> Um cuz the jail's not going to take all that. Alex, too. >> It's my first time. This one. >> Uh, yeah. So, >> I'm going to have uh >> you going to have to sit up in there until they call us. It's going to be a long booking process. >> I see videos. I know how this go. We going to be up there for hours. Even though this was their first time, they seemed thrilled by the experience, treating it like a new adventure of youth. Even laughing while calling their mother. >> Mama, don't laugh. Don't say nothing. Like, just know I'm going to jail and I love you, mama. >> You told me not to do this. I'm I'm sorry, Mom, if I cuss, but this some set. >> They going to take They going to take our phones, too. So, we can't even get on video. Watch me. We just going to have to sit there look at the >> They going to take the phone when we >> We're going to take all your property. You're going to be searched. We're going to take all your property to the jail. You're going to be booked in, released with a citation, and you're going to be out and you're going to get all your stuff back. Okay, >> that's how that works. So, we can't have our phone. >> So, when we go in to book it, >> no, you cannot have your phone. >> No, you're not. >> I thought we pissing them off. >> What the hell? >> She just shook her head. >> Okay. Also, I got some like shorts on. >> Yeah, but we can't >> I don't feel comfortable because I mean, >> would you prefer if a female search you guys? >> Yeah, that would be fine. >> It's not that. We trying to take them off and uh >> it's a room full of dudes up here. >> Well, okay. shorts you stole. >> That's what we're It's Yeah, it's underneath here. We try to take them off, but it's been here. >> No, we not taking off my clothes. >> Yeah, you got underwear underneath them. >> Yeah. >> We can do that. >> At this point, the officers handcuffed the women. Yet, there was still no sign of remorse. Both continued chatting casually with each other, seemingly confident that since it was their first time, they would be released. Stand up for him. >> Don't make it so resistant. Excuse me. So you can have it. Put it in your savings. >> They going to make me spit my gun out. >> Yeah. >> Have either of you been arrested for this? >> No. This my first time. That's why. This is This is This is scary. >> This is scary. Walk us out in the handcuff. >> I know. You can y'all can barricade us like like somebody charges against both. >> All right, >> ma'am. Can you also set your phone down? >> I ain't going to run. >> Stop. Please stop. >> I got It's not set up. >> That card goes with that one. That card goes with your stuff. >> Black purse. >> Yeah, black purse. I want my mountain when I come back. >> Okay. >> I don't want to look at nobody. >> I'm sorry. I got to laugh to keep from crying cuz last se >> Hey, at least we going to >> You guys are getting released tonight. >> Oh, have fun tonight. Okay. >> Please be grateful and shut the up. Truly, >> that's not my name. >> Are you sure? You want to walk out? >> I was going to walk outside. It's a little tight. >> Their arrogance became even more apparent once they realized they would be released. She even challenged the officers with questions and joked about it. >> Are you putting it on me now? You going to put my hood on? >> Uh, no. I was just checking it. So, um, >> cool. I don't care. I'm not looking behind me. I just want to go get this [ __ ] over with and I'm going home. >> I ain't going back outside no more. I'm done. >> I'm running to Daniel.

How much you think? >> They going to take these off when we get in there. >> The cows. >> Yeah. >> Anyway, you want to do a secondary real quick? >> Both women were charged with retail theft. Even a first time offense carries consequences, and arrogance or joking during an arrest only worsens the situation. Take responsibility and respect the law. Even more shocking, the woman went to unimaginable lengths just to steal merchandise. >> Maybe she's crazy. Maybe it was a tractor so she could steal it. >> Yeah, >> but she didn't pay for it. >> I guess you need to know that because my wife again. >> Excuse me. >> This is what you wanted. >> No, that's not what I wanted. >> On June 13th, 2024, police received an emergency call from Family Dollar reporting a fire at the store.

Do we have anything? >> They don't have And then you have you have the front all the front cameras. >> Is this aisle? >> All the employees testified that the fire started inside the store, but none of them knew who had been there. This forced the police to review the surveillance footage themselves. >> This is the area right here. Just like I kind of cut off in the top cuz that's the back. >> That's the camera that's in the back. >> Yes. >> Oh man. >> So it's just looking at that back corner I guess. Huh. >> That's where where it is. I'm just trying to see if I see clothes. We can go to the front. >> Yeah. >> To any of these. >> No, I totally get it. Are there any other camera angles that can be looked at forward? They don't have anything on the on the here. They don't have anything looking forward. >> Is it running? This isn't running already. >> Was it her and she did and she just kept talking. >> She could have been, >> you know, like maybe she was just, you know, being and wanted to be around here to see how uh >> how they act. >> Well, she did come from there.

It was a ghost." >> And this is a female. >> What are the odds? That's a female. >> Is that a person? >> Oh, yeah. The female was the one that went to the front to show them. >> No, but look at her.

She's looking where to go. >> You want to go to the entrance exit after. >> From what they could see, the police identified a female suspect behind the incident. Worse, they realized she had deliberately created the situation to facilitate her theft. At this time, the officers assessed the damage caused by the fire. >> I mean, they all this is damage, but they're not. >> They have a clothes. They have this this stuff on top of it that is very flammable. >> Yeah. And then where she said that >> yeah somewhere around here she comes from somewhere in the middle >> after she leaves here. She comes over here >> and then then she grabs her cart. >> I smell I smell the tiki liquid here. She dropped >> because it's on the floor. >> Dropped it. Oh, there it is. >> It's on the floor. That's what it >> It's been dropped there. It was dropped off. Yeah, she was dropping off. See, >> she started from that all over there. >> Maybe that's where I ended, but it was already here then. So that's a >> Maybe it was a distraction. Maybe she's crazy. Maybe it was distraction so she could still pay for it. >> No, she walked out with no cart. >> The shopping cart >> and everybody was already been evacuated like one of the last people. >> Everybody was evacuating. She was still back here. She's like, >> I will have to go back to the video to see if in another aisle she started dumping everything in those bags cuz then she came up with two bags. >> Just 2 days later, the woman brazenly returned to the store. Still unaware she had been caught. But this time she was far from lucky. Don't resist and no force on the officer. All right. >> You're being detained right now for an investigation. >> Let me know. You have to let me know now because investigation will need to do that because my right again. >> Excuse me. Our detective is going to come. No, you will not detain me because you are detained. You are not going to detain me. You are waiting because I need you to know. your back.

Trying to be nice with you. >> Okay. >> We were trying to be nice with you. >> Okay. cooperate until >> she flaunted her rights after causing the incident, showing no regard for its seriousness. Even when taken to the police station, she displayed no remorse whatsoever. >> All right. So, I am here to be your chauffeur. Okay. >> Just I just ask that you give me five stars after we finish everything. Just give me five stars. That's all I ask. >> All right. Let me take those bad boys off of you. So much is on this one here, right? Okay. Okay, let's go. Let's get out of here. >> Huh? Take your petty. >> So, listen. They got your camera. Send the storm fire. >> I didn't send the storm fire. >> I said the camera is li store something else. Okay. But they have good surveillance cameras. Very good. So unless somebody, you know, swapped out the cameras and did a body double with you and all that good stuff. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yo, >> hold on, sir. How are you? >> Yo, so unless they did a body double swap with you without you know going while you're sleeping. They did a double ganger of you and all like that. I doubt it. But you're ahead. Sit down, my dear. How many kids do you have? >> I have three. >> Three? >> Yes. >> All right. And if you don't ask, how old are you? >> I'm 45. >> Okay. You don't look 45.
