We're going to have to get your information, figure out what's taken cuz the business told us that. So, >> no, that's bull. [Music] >> I don't know what you expect me to do. That's what they've told us. >> What do you mean told you? We just literally just paid. >> I got you, but not for all the items. >> Officers came face to face with two suspects as they tried to push their card out. One of them boldly claimed she'd already paid and had a receipt. But watch how her confidence fades the moment an employee steps in. >> All the customer return lady. >> They didn't even pay for the chips. What do >> you mean? We didn't pay for the chips. I have my receipt here. She paid as well. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, she did. >> Nice try. >> Well, you want to go over there to register? We literally >> I do. I did. I just saw you on camera. >> Yeah. Nice try.

Okay, you're not free to leave. Turn off back under arrest. >> For what? >> Shoplifting. >> Oh, you [ __ ] leave out the door. All right. >> Okay. Both women were escorted to the store's security room. Shortly after, during questioning and a search, officers uncovered multiple pieces of evidence revealing just how professional these two women really were. Is >> this your receipt? Well, like three things. What's this receipt? >> What's this receipt? [ __ ] one. >> Which one? >> He said this one, right? >> Yeah, but this one was good. We didn't see anything with that one.

As long as there's in your bag. >> That wasn't in my >> That was her bag. >> That was in her bag. >> It was in her bag. >> Officers searched their bags and found several suspicious receipts along with a pouch full of unpaid cosmetics. The suspect quickly denied owning it and blamed her friend instead. >> Why'd you guys come in today? Just needed stuff personal use. You selling it? >> Feed the kids. >> Pay the kids. >> 13? >> Cuz I have no cash. I need to feed my kids. >> What are you going to do? Sell makeup to the kids or >> just have a buyer. >> Who you selling it to? >> Who's your buyer? >> She says she has a buyer.

So yeah, I'm in the process of getting my identification and everything as well. >> She tried to justify the theft as a desperate act to support her kids, but her past crimes exposed the truth she couldn't hide. >> All right, so both of you guys are just going to be under arrest, felony shoplifting. Um, you have a felony warrant that we're confirming right now. So, um, just kind of want to give you guys that update cuz I can't lose anything that I have right now.

I'm kind of trying to be good and I'm like literally taking care of someone right now and that's how like I get a little bit of my money instead of sitting there sleeping around or anything like that. >> Officers determined they were repeat shoplifterss reselling stolen cosmetics. One had an active felony warrant as she was led to the car. Tears and excuses followed, but the law left no room for sympathy. In the end, both suspects were charged with felony shoplifting, possession of a controlled substance, and conspiracy to commit a felony. A bitter ending for those who tried to defend themselves with humanitarian reasons, yet chose the wrong path to survive. And now, let's meet a woman who proved just as bad as she couldn't be honest even in the end. >> That sustain >> I just watched it. On September 6th, 2024, police received an urgent call about a woman stealing a large haul of merchandise from a Target store. Officers rushed to the scene and waited at the exit. The moment she appeared, she came face to face with the consequences of her actions. [Applause] >> Hey, police. How's it going? Put the bags down. >> I didn't do anything. >> Oh, brother. Put your bags down. This is everything I came in with. >> Put your bags. >> I did not do anything. >> I didn't do anything. >> Drop your bags, please. >> I Dang it. Do >> Let's take cordial. Okay.

I am not doing anything. >> Clearly, the woman refused to accept the outcome and only made things harder. Officers struggled but eventually managed to get her in handcuffs. >> You are breaking the law. to stop. Give me your other hand, ma'am. >> I wasn't even if you want. >> I wasn't doing anything. >> Stop positioning. I wasn't I was saying all my stuff. >> That's all I was doing. >> It's your first party. [Music] >> Right after that, police searched through her bags and quickly realized this wasn't the only store she had hit that day. >> I don't think so. >> She had this water bottle when she There's a pink one as well. Oh, whichever one she had when she came in. I can tell you it's mine. That's the one she had when she came in. I don't think so. That one's >> all the husky stuff. I think >> Yeah, this is probably all Home Depot. >> Uh, if it's not if it's not yours, I was going to put all your merchandise here for a photo. Um, >> this is like all this is mine.

This is you? >> Yeah. >> None of this is yours, right? >> None of the Husky branded stuff. >> This is This yours? >> Uh I can check and see. It's got a tag on it. >> The back uh the backpack isn't >> No. Came in the purple and the and the bag. >> I searched the black bag. All these tools, these hatchets, all this stuff was in there and he said it's not. Even the bag's brand new, too. >> The the best guess for the bag would be Home Depot. >> Can you find any time to exercise? >> Even at this point, she gave no admission. With all the evidence uncovered, nothing she did could change the reality she was facing. >> Determine what you took. Yes, we are. >> I'm taking I just watched it. They're sorting through everything because there's stolen merchandise in the car. >> There's stolen merchandise in the bags. >> You exit with merchandise you didn't pay for. >> Not those bags. No, >> they're going to go through all of it. >> They're going to go through all of it. >> Okay. >> Stealing. >> Okay. >> And I'm just asking, >> are you telling me I'm crazy? >> No, I'm asking why your behavior. >> All in my head. No, never said that. >> I'm just trying to figure out why you're behaving the way you are. >> Is there a reason why you're crying the way you are? [Music] >> Yeah, cuz it hurt. >> Finally, she was convicted of felony theft and resisting arrest. This case reminded us dishonesty and denial never erase the truth. Once caught, refusing to admit fault only deepens the consequences. Next, this woman had just left prison and thought she could escape despite all those lessons. >> You were going to pay for some of them, not all of them. >> So, were you? >> No. Oh, I was going to I was going to try I was going to pay for that. >> Please, Lord. Please. I don't want to go to jail. Child, Lauren, please. Please, Lord. On May 31st, 2023, police received a call about a suspicious woman stuffing nearly $1,000 worth of clothes into her own clothing. She believed she would only pay for some of the items before leaving until officers confronted her. >> All right, ma'am. Let's put that down. Okay. >> Huh? >> I'm Officer Cornelson. Let's go ahead and put that down. Okay. >> What was I talking about? >> Set the rest of your clothes down. I'm going to talk to you over here. Okay. >> Okay. [Music] Ain't nothing on me. >> Okay.

You're padded right here. >> Well, that because I had I wasn't going to steal nothing, sir. I promise you I wasn't. >> The woman claimed she had no intention of stealing anything, but her next actions disprove that claim. >> Let's put it all down and we'll talk through here. Okay. Okay. Let's go. Sorry, I wasn't scared after. >> Okay. Like I was >> Come on over here. Come talk. >> I'm going to check it out. Please. I don't want to deal. >> Okay. >> I know.

That's not what we're saying. >> Me, y'all. >> Look, that's not what we're saying. >> It seemed like a habit. This was not her first time being caught for such behavior. And though she claimed she would pay, she chose to hide the items instead of buying them openly. >> Sir, I don't want >> What were you kids? >> What were you in prison with before? >> What were you in prison for before? >> I was in prison for shoplifting, sir. >> Okay. >> And I learn I don't know why I learned my lesson. That why I really tried like acting like I was looking for a phone or whatever. You know what I'm saying? I act like a phone cuz I was so scared, y'all. I was so scared. E >> the same yours. >> Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. >> You were You were taking the clothes. Why? >> Huh? >> Why were you taking the clothes? >> I had like basically was my intention. I was intentionally trying to pay something for my baby. >> You were going to pay for some of them, not all of them. >> So, were you >> No, I I was going to I was going to try I was going to pay for that. At this point, no display of sympathy could win her leniency. The officers had already made their decision. >> There's stuff on me, sir. Oh, God. I did. >> Oh, God. I did. >> God, I did. Y'all, please, Lord, please. I don't want to go to jail. Shout out, Lord. Please. Please, Lord. >> Look, I stuff out. >> There's a lot of people around. >> So, she had a bunch of merchandise in her uh >> Let's not keep gathering.

Where's that at? >> In my bra. >> In your bra? >> Where was it in your bra? I didn't feel any money in your bra. >> It probably dropped out at the waist. Well, we can I'll send an officer over there to look for it. Okay. Right now, you are under arrest for felony shoplifting. Okay. Let's go out. Let's go out here. >> In the end, she was charged with felony shoplifting. Clearly that no matter the excuse or display of sympathy, repeated theft becomes a habit, and the law will not overlook it. Next, the seasoned shoplifter never imagined the day would come when her luck finally ran out. >> Hi. Do you have your ID on you, ma'am? I don't. >> All right. So, you don't have your ID on you? >> No. >> Okay. >> On April 8th, 2024, officers rushed to a Walmart in Athens, Georgia, where a familiar thief returned once again, only to be caught red-handed this time. >> Okay. They be the one I trust the most. >> Yeah. >> Hi. Do you have your ID on email? >> I don't. >> Okay. What's your name? >> Cada. >> Cada. Is it? Yes. >> Okay. I'm going leave your hands on your back.

When officers approached, she tried to stay calm, claiming she didn't have an ID and gave the name Kadia. Moments later, the system revealed she had an active arrest warrant. >> Got two different times. >> Okay. >> I didn't steal anything. >> No, you not this time. I can't charge you with it, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to put it into my computer system. >> All right. Head back to your office. >> Yeah, I'm going to take this service. Let him bring it up. >> 3750. We'll head back to the service desk in the loss prevention office. All right. >> So, got trespass right now. She's already barred from here. >> Oh, yeah. All the warrants. Are you already going through the pack? >> I just searching for Let's go to the office, I guess. >> Kadia was detained in the baby clothing section. Officers confirmed the cart beside her was filled with unpaid items. Even before she could leave the store, she was escorted straight to the security room. >> May I ask him one second? >> All right. Uh, I guess you have probation warrants and everything. >> Well, you're on ankle monitor right now. >> Uh, those aren't fashion accessories. >> What? >> Ankle monitor. >> Okay. Okay. >> So, what we got, sir? >> Uh, he she didn't actually get a chance to steal anything. I got him ringing up the buggy just to see how much it was going to be, but she had these with her. Got other cases on her. My partner has case on her. >> Um, we've been talking to Franco about it for a while. >> Are you scared to hurt me? like you can. Um >> I just they I was at lunch. They called me said, "Hey, girl in the bonnet, ankle monitor." I was like, "Yeah, that's probably her. I'm on my way back." Called Franco on the way down the road. Told him she was here and he went ahead and said, "Oh, this way." >> Okay. >> It's uh not going to be any charge on us this time other than what he'll he's taken from the warrant he got from the past. But uh I can't charge everything today. Conceal or anything. >> Oh, she's got the barring, too. Yeah. >> Officers found a magnetic tag remover in her bag, a classic shoplifters's tool. Despite wearing an ankle monitor on probation, she boldly returned to the very Walmart she was banned from. >> The two things that didn't look used were this and this. >> I'm going to quick. >> But something looks like it's been used a little bit. and still question in there. So I don't think this is ours. We wouldn't care. I don't know what that's real. >> Yeah, we still unless you have >> I'm saying you saying like I've been arrested for trespassing here. >> You're saying you've been trespassed. You weren't allowed to come back here. >> Oh. Yeah. >> Why? So how come you came back if you knew you were bard? sum. >> Kadia knew she was banned, but came back anyway. Her cart held over $1,300 worth of cosmetics, baby clothes, and accessories, all likely stolen to resell. >> Uh, and we've actually been looking for you for a while. Here's a couple photos and pictures of you shoplifting from here before >> and all that. So, which is actually some of your other warrants. >> You have warrants for shoplifting. >> I believe you have some other warrants for shoplifting besides the probation.

So, >> we'll probably renew your borrowing out here. >> So, the stuff that she had at the counter, she was going to pay for some stuff. >> She said she was going to buy this stuff, but it never got to the point. >> Yeah, we were at 1300 when I left. >> Okay. >> And they still had half a buggy left. went to the candy over there. She took her backpack off, just started loading it up. She went in the bathroom, sat for about 45 minutes, and then she left. >> Security staff revealed that Kadia once hid stolen items in her backpack and stayed in the restroom for nearly 45 minutes to avoid detection, stealing goods to resell on the black market like a seasoned shoplifter. Kadia was charged with criminal trespass, violation of probation, and multiple counts of shoplifting linked to previous incidents. Her repeated crimes and active warrant ensured another trip to jail. A fitting end for a career thief who never learned her lesson. Next, the woman even had a so-called magic pair of pants. >> What's this? >> These are steak. I'm getting steak. >> No, this is not a steak. >> These are all steak. >> Down your pants, right? >> Please don't. >> Do what? On August 30th, 2023, police rushed to a shopping mall after a report claimed a woman had taken another woman's husband's phone. According to the tipster, she struggled with drug issues. When officers confronted her, it was clear she was not in a normal state of mind. >> Yeah. >> Looks like notice. >> I don't know. >> Do you have a phone that belongs to the woman up front? Then we can just get back to her. >> I don't have a phone. >> No. >> No, I don't have the person sleeping. Where's I don't even know. >> What are you doing? Buying some food. Where's Taz? Where's your boy Taz? >> Yeah. >> Is it Taz's phone? >> I want our best baby. I don't know. >> I've been with my sister ID sometimes. >> But things didn't stop there. When officers checked her shopping cart, they noticed suspicious bulges hidden beneath her clothes. >> You don't mind if I take a look for you? I don't have a phone. [Music] >> Oh god. >> Good old Verizon cell phone service not working out here. >> No, it's just shitty. Look at all these guys. >> What's our name again? >> My mom. >> What' you say Taz's new girlfriend's name is? >> Amanda. >> Okay. >> I don't know her last name. >> Okay. >> She described you. >> I'm not. >> Are you just holding on to Taz's phone while he's in jail?

Thanks to the timely discovery, the woman was hit with a trespass order from the store. >> Thanks, dude. Excellent. On the air. Uh, >> I'm still doing stupid [ __ ] >> It was just perfect. >> All right, so you're good. Stay away from this business. Do not come back in here. You'll be trespassed. We be taken to jail next time.

Don't let it escalate. >> Okay. Like, no. in the car. >> Oh, surreal. >> He is running southbound. >> Hi. >> What is he doing? >> We're not pulling off, bro. No car. Turn it off. >> I'm not pulling off. >> Okay. I would turn it off. Give me the key. >> You're not pulling off no car, man. Unbelievably, for just about $20, she turned a simple case into a full-blown fiasco. Watch how the officers made sure she faced the consequences. Now you're in trouble. Roll over. >> I'm going to go uh next card. >> He's good. He didn't do anything. Okay. I don't want you looking for someone else. >> No. >> Okay. >> She gave me a name. >> Stole. >> I didn't steal. Get the [ __ ] off me. >> I'm locking your cuffs. Shut up. Come on. Come on. Stand up. >> Yeah. Cuz >> I didn't stand. >> All you had to do is sit in the car. That's all you had to do. In the end, Melinda was officially charged with retail theft of about $20, providing false information, and resisting law enforcement. These charges left her facing criminal penalties and a lasting record. This case reminds us, cooperating with the law is always easier than resisting. Let's watch the woman who thought she had the right to steal and escape in a high-speed chase. You ain't but a a badge. All of y'all. Good work. Good work, officer. Good work. >> On March 1st, 2025, a woman turned what should have been a routine shoplifting incident into a wild 115 mph pursuit after swiping thousands of dollars worth of goods, including the hot ticket Stanley Cups. Here's how things spiraled out of control. Hi. >> We just had a lady walk out with two of our bog bags with products stuck into them.

Well, you guys had a lady. >> I will tell you it's dangerous going out there even to get a license plate, but the license plate does help a lot. >> I know. >> Hi. >> Well, I'm always saying I went out to the sidewalk. >> Yeah. Well, I mean, you could say you went out and got the license plate. >> Yeah. >> I don't I mean, you didn't have much of a conversation with her anyway. >> No. Well, you weren't trying to stop her necessarily, >> so they were. >> I'm sure that's against your policy. >> Yeah, we're supposed to sign. >> Thanks to a detailed description from the store manager, officers were able to quickly locate the suspect's vehicle. But instead of pulling over, the woman decided to hit the gas, kicking off a high-speed chase that left officers scrambling to keep up. We are eastbound on North Dixie Highway. If someone can communicate to this Persburg Township unit behind me to come take the one position, I'll give it up. [Music] Ran the red light at Fort Meard westbound. [Music] They're at the traffic light at uh Jeff Levis Commons and Jefferson Street through that intersection. We're coming up to the diverging diamond here at 75. 475 split.

So, I've got a whole bunch of Stanley's, some clothes, like a black rubber bag, a purple rubber bag, and a plastic bag with clothes. Does that sound about right? >> Now, with everything crystal clear, what did the suspect do next? >> Let's take my phone off the hood, please. >> Oh, yeah. We'll get there. You're not getting it, though. So, >> I mean, I just want to call make sure my baby daughter.

[ __ ] wrong with y'all? >> In the end, she was charged with grand theft and fleeing and eluding. This case reminds us that one moment of greed can spiral into disaster and no one escapes the reach of the law. Next, let's see how these Walmart bandits landed in a dopey dilemma. >> We're going to go to the last prevention office route this way, please. That's what I'm saying. That's what's paid for. >> Hey, don't get mad. You walked out with stolen merchant. >> In June 2024, in Round Rock, Texas, police received a report of a theft at Walmart. Cameras showed two women hiding items in bags before leaving without paying. Let's see how officers handled that. >> Baskets, but the woman that's pushing the cart, she has like four bags in her basket and she's putting stuff inside of it. Okay. And the lady in the purple, she also had a basket, but she already put everything. She gave her some things and she also put stuff in her bag. >> Okay.

They're coming to the south end. >> Security staff described in detail how the suspects used both personal bags and carts to conceal numerous items. >> Police then blocked the two women's cart, leaving them stunned. >> Ma'am, >> we're going to go to the last prevention office. Okay. So, right now, you two are detained right now. Okay. For that, >> we're going to go to the last prevention office right this way, please. Can we put it back? >> No, ma'am. >> I understand that.

Okay. >> No, leave it right here. >> The suspect initially protested, seemingly not believing she had been caught so easily. In the end, they were forced into the security office and handed over their bags where officers uncovered some surprising finds. Careful when you put your hands in there with needles. >> You guys got any milk on you right now in your person? >> There you go. Got anything on your person? No. Okay. This is for this one. >> What's your name, ma'am? >> It's what now? >> Deandre. >> DeAndre. >> When verifying their identities, one of the women gave the name Rashonda with vague details. Suspicion deepened when several bank cards belonging to other people were found in their wallets. Who's Patricia? >> How do you know Patricia? >> Together with Austin. >> Uh-huh.

While cameras exposed the two suspects hiding merchandise despite their denials. >> Watch the video cuz there's video surveillance throughout the whole store. And I paid for that. >> Pay for what? >> $20. >> Where's your receipt? >> Right here. >> So, you paid for that. Everything else in the bag, you paid for. >> I paid for the chicken and for the donuts. >> Chicken donuts. That's paid for. And the soda. That's for paid for. >> No, I know. That's what I'm saying.
