I got a dumbass. Steal it from here. I'm telling you I had a one to multiple people out of comparative age and I'm the one getting charged. Don't Don't go away. Who the [ __ ] you talking to? Don't go away. Who are you talking to? The gift cards are in the bag. >> Got you and then put it under the And then she scans it through the See. Okay. Got you. You're throwing an innocent man in jail. I got robbed. I got robbed and you're throwing me in jail. It seemed that there was never any limit to the greed and arrogance of shoplifters. They were willing to insist they had done nothing wrong by lying about the truth and even resisting the police. But how did it all end? Find out in today's video, the worst shoplifter forces cops to drag her from Walmart. We work purely for educational purposes and did not make these videos to shame anyone. Don't forget to like and subscribe. Let's begin with this case involving a liar in a group of experienced shoplifters. I had to press something like this. So did you guys take stuff from the There's a bag of clothes in the car. Okay. Thank you for being honest. So you guys both On the 27th of June 2025, police were dispatched to a Walmart in Washington after receiving a report of a theft. The suspected individuals involved included an older woman, a younger woman, and a man. At that moment, officers blocked the first suspect from leaving in order to determine what was happening. I I All right. Can you go in there for me? Yeah. Thank you. I'll be honest. I just turned 56 years Okay. Okay. Okay. I mean my I lost my link card. Can you just scoot up just a little bit more so we can close this door? >> Yeah. Thank you. I mean I really lost it because I didn't have a chance Are you able to walk? No, I'm not. Well, okay. I don't know. So she was messing with her purse, so she might have items in there. And but I can There's something in there. I don't know. And she told me it was box. >> Yeah, it is a box. All right, I'm going to read this to >> of fruit snacks. I'll be honest. >> There's multiple things under here. You got this. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And I needed some cleaning products. I'll take your purse. >> All right, so I'm going to read you something, okay? You have the right to remain silent, if you wish. Do you understand your rights? >> Yes. With those rights in mind, do you wish to speak with me? No. You do not wish to speak with me? No, I feel obligated to say yes. It seemed that she had partially admitted to her actions, and although she appeared remorseful, she showed no real shame as she tried to draw sympathy from the officers. Unless I have to. My dad and I, it's just us. And he's on street security. I'm on disability, and I can't walk. Excuse me. No. Please. No. I had to crush up my pills. Yes, I know. We know that, but you're under arrest. But it is, yeah, but No, it's not. I swear >> Regardless, you were under arrest, so Um, she can't stand for long. You don't have any weapons on you? No, I don't. >> All right. Well, just sit up for me. I'll search you. No, I don't want to do something. Okay. Just getting my stuff. Okay. We'll pick up your change for you. All right. Well, you don't want to talk to us, so we're not going to ask >> I'm talking then. You got a ride waiting for you up there, or you drove here? I I drove here. This is my vehicle. My husband has a permit. Well, In reality, she tried to stop the officers from checking her bag, because she was hiding a small box suspected to contain cocaine. And her repeated claim of to be honest was hard to believe, because soon after it became clear that this was not the first time as she had claimed. How many times have you done this? Not very many. I'll be honest with you. >> many, but I know No, it's towards the end. Usually, I'll be honest, maybe once or twice towards the end of the month and that is it. For how long? Not long. Maybe 2 months, maybe. 2 what? >> Maybe a month, maybe. A month? So, you can check my last month. So, maybe a couple of times last month, couple of times this month. So, I will let you know that as of today, you're going to be getting trespassed We got to find them on the parking lot. This is the guy that was in here with you. This is the female that you were with, too, in the store. Is this Marie? That's Marie? So, Marie wasn't in the store. So, you lied to me. >> I am sorry. Cheers. Okay. Do you want to head out here because there's like two or three other people that were with her and we have to confirm they didn't steal, too, cuz they're suspects in Peoria, folks. At University, it looks like. They have your name on the wrong person, but that's Marie and this is the guy. Yes, she told me it was a Buick SUV parked to the left and it's gray. Did you drive here? Yeah. Oh, okay. >> The keys are in the car. Or in her purse, I don't The truth comes out. So, the officers quickly realized she had lied when she claimed she had come here alone. Besides her, there were still two other people involved and their presence began to reveal new truths about the incident. Did you guys steal anything today? No. Are you being truthful? I did. No, but they have unknown charges. No, I didn't carry a purse. I didn't have a purse. That's You guys are suspects in retail theft in other Walmarts that you guys never got caught for. So, she is going to trespass you today. We need to identify you guys. We can't charge you for other cities crimes, but just know that that's probably what's going to end up happening since we have you guys identified. So, wherever you stole from in the past, they're probably resending you guys some citations and stuff cuz we got you here today now, okay? And she's also going to trespass Tuesday. Um do you have IDs on you? Mine is in the car. >> I do not. Okay. So, we'll have to grab the names from you. Did you buy that? Is that stuff yours? >> this is just my stuff from home. You mind if I just check it? All right. I'm just getting stuff from my house. Wipe here. You want to tell me what the white residue is in this one? Um What was it? Um cocaine. Cocaine? Okay. Sorry. When was the last time you used? Um this morning. This morning? The remaining suspects honestly admitted everything. So, shortly after, all of them were placed in handcuffs and put into separate police cars to be taken back to the police station. Excuse me. Yeah, it's weird. Don't know if we're going yet, but right now we're just going to act like we are, okay? I was thinking you knew that you were out with her, is that why? Okay. Can you have to sit kind of sideways for there to be more comfortable? Yeah, I would face like sideways almost, you know? I'm okay. All right. So, the blue container is your drugs. He's not going to let me take But is it yours? It's hers. It's inevitably hers. Okay. So, she's dealing out to you guys or what? No, um the bride's sometimes and and this stuff because you originally told me that the blue container was yours. Well, the pink one was and then it was not. This one right here is the silver. Cuffs? No, she said she had the silver ones. She said so. Do you want cuffs in the front now? I need I need a knee replacement and shoulder replacement. I don't think she's going anywhere. Okay, her her's behind her back and >> one is really tight. The younger woman was charged with retail theft after intentionally concealing clothing and leaving the store without paying for items valued at $196.95. Meanwhile, the man was charged with possession of a controlled substance after cocaine was found in his possession. And the older woman faced charges of retail theft and possession of a controlled substance after stolen merchandise and drugs were linked to her. Hiding the truth never helped thieves escape justice. It only prolonged the inevitable because in the end, justice always prevailed. And the only wiser choice was to be honest and face the responsibility for one's actions. Next, this woman even believed that acting innocent would help her get away with it. Yo, I'm about to spaz because I'm about to beat the out of her mom. No. No. What? Get the [ __ ] off of me. Get the [ __ ] off of On the 28th of February, 2026, police received a report from Walmart about two women suspected of shoplifting inside the store. Even worse, they had brought along some very special companions with them. This was what unfolded when officers arrived at the scene. We are in the middle of getting a training receipt right now. I'll come back in. So, she was with another party. That party had purchased her items at a manned checkout and walked out. >> Okay, calm back and um attempted to >> mom on the phone now? Are you calling for someone to pick up your order? >> No, I'm calling because the person I was with You saw her attempt to push out first we saw it twice and was stopped both times by the door man. She came to this side, jumped up to cover to customer service to call her party, they never came. She walked back into the store. I told her they paid for everything. Okay, well, I'll I'll talk to you after. This is Where is her mom at? No idea. I was here. I called I actually came to the register. I'll call her mom. I'm sorry. You got it. I'll call you back. She's not answering. I'm going straight to voicemail. I was My thing was we were going shopping for them. >> you could potentially get arrested, you want this little girl to go with diapers right now? Find her mom. Bring that Figure it out. Where is her mom at? >> My love, I don't know. I was here. She was supposed to pay for the groceries. >> No car. You walk here? Taxi? >> From where? From where? From her shelter. Because she's the one Where is her mom at? Her shelter. This is crazy. >> her mom's name? Brandy Sylvester. I've been over the over cop. Although loss prevention staff clearly accused her of trying to push the cart out twice, she insisted on a different story, shifting the blame onto the other woman who had already vanished. All right, Sadie's in front of me. I don't want to have this conversation. It really doesn't have anything to do with this. I'm calling DCFS. I don't care what they have to do. I'm calling DCFS. And I'm getting I'm getting the I don't care about me. I care about the kids. And what she just put her kid through being with me. What you doing? What are you going to do? I don't know. It doesn't really matter. I told them I'll pay for what I got to pay for. have to is Brandy. So, she's going to have to take accountability for what she was supposed to pay for. No, no, you do cuz you have a car. You're responsible. So, I'm responsible cuz I have a car for somebody who was putting in my car? Excuse me, what's going to happen? No, because [ __ ] Brandy done put me in a nasty position. And I'm probably going to get locked up because I'm at Walmart. I have my food stamp card and it's in her wallet. I was supposed to pay half of the food and then she was supposed to pay half of the clothes for her and Sadie and Jason and Leo. I don't went to the customer service like two or three times on top of checkout line asking for her name. She didn't show up, so I figured, okay, she's paying. I called her. She didn't answer, so I figured she was outside. So, I'm I didn't even go outside yet. I'm like halfway out the store and then they come check me. I'm calling her. She's not answering me no nothing. I have Sadie with me, like for all this I would have never came here with her. I guess she apparently she's Okay, your stuff is reloaded and reloaded in the >> Yeah, and I've been thinking that I'm paying for half of it and she has my card. I don't know, nobody can find her. I'm in the office at work. The woman completely portrayed herself as a victim of the child's mother, but it all appeared to be an act as store staff and police had a very different and far more certain view of what really happened. She was walking slowly. She was quite She was quite [ __ ] apart, right? The other kid? I don't know if we have footage of that or not. This lady here tried to go out the other door first. Then she Then she tried to go out that garden door. So she moved. But we don't know. We have the other girl on camera doing stuff. >> I was sure um Man, I can't I No, because she paid. So we I think she left the clothes. Dakota can tell you better. But did she conceal it at all? No. No? No, she had a big pile of some stuff and left the clothes. That's what I was told. I was following this girl, but we never had her or the other girl stealing trying to take anything out of this store. No, not No, not to our knowledge. At this point, a guardian arrived to ensure the safety of the child beside her, but her attitude only made the situation grow even more tense. On her side. It's all right. Come on, Sadie. Elijah right here. I want to make sure this is all right. Can I see? Yeah. All right, come up here. Stay right there. Right there. Stay right there. Get back there. Why are you touching Get back there. This is all right, right? Yeah, he's He's staying calm Elijah. Yo, I'm about to spaz because I'm about to beat the out of her mom. No. So, yeah. Close the door, please. Bro, this is ridiculous. I don't do this. I don't do any of this. She's supposed to be here. What what what color did you see her wearing? I don't know what color it was. She had a burgundy and black one on. And then a green one. It's ridiculous. Can I press charges? Like I would like to press charges. Can you calm down? No, because I was not aware of this. Y'all seen that I have called her multiple times. I don't get in trouble. Like I would like to press charges at this point. I would really like to press charges. I never get in trouble. Like I would really like to press charges because I really thought like I called her name multiple times and I made sure of it. Her denial did nothing to change what police had already confirmed with the store and officers quickly made their decision. Do that. Can you stand up for me, please? Of course. Why are you guys grabbing me? You're being told and not listening. So I'm guessing she's not getting locked up by just him. She didn't steal anything? Are you serious? Just going to search you real quick. Other pocket. Can you put that in my hand? I'm going to search with my back hand. Your waist line, okay? Don't touch my I have to. This is going to be with the back of his hand. He's not going to grab my Just go ahead and make sure there's no weapons in the area. Don't go like towards her crotch or her butt or something. You guys have watched them. You seen me sit here and call out her name multiple times. What is that? I didn't even walk out the store and I'm getting charged for what? Theft? Um I'll take care of that in a little while. He has my hand cuz cuz it clicked through his hand. Very good. Do you just like it small as hell? You got my hand solid as hell. Like I'm a dumbass [ __ ] Steal it from here. I'm telling you I had the one to multiple people after her name and I'm the one getting charged. Like this is ridiculous. Please stop touching me. Unless you're a female and do not touch me. I I I suggest you don't put away stuff cuz that could be another charge. This is the store. We're not doing anything. But I have nothing to do with this. I'm telling y'all I will pay for this. Her tension reached a breaking point and showed no sign of stopping as she became even more difficult when officers began searching her bag. I don't care who's in charge. You guys are hurting me. My purse is ain't mine. Yeah, like it's illegal. It's stuff that we're I don't care. >> care either. Apparently not. >> Okay. You don't. Apparently you don't. >> You get tased on the You're mad at us for doing our job. We're just No. No. No. No. No. I'm mad at you for not doing your job. How you got to sit here saying she's going to pay you for Don't Don't pull away. Don't pull away. Don't pull away. Don't pull away. Don't pull away. Don't pull away. Don't pull away. I'm going to complain. You guys are hurting my [ __ ] You guys are hurting my Relax. Gracie, get the [ __ ] off me. Yo, girl I'm holding my arm too tight. Yo, I'm about to [ __ ] y'all up.

Are you serious? That [ __ ] hurts. I'm telling y'all to get off me for a reason. I have a fractured wrist. Get off my wrist. Yo, y'all are hurting my wrist. In the end, she was retail theft, obstructing justice, and resisting arrest. Remember, blaming someone else would not save you because when the evidence was already clear, excuses only made the situation worse. The drama did not stop there. The next man even cast himself as the victim in his own story. Put your hands up and put your hands You just came up earlier guys. I got robbed. Put your feet in. I got robbed and you're throwing me in jail. On the 6th of December, 2025, police approached a man after receiving a report of a disturbance involving him. But when they arrived, he instead claimed that he was the victim of a completely different incident. Let's keep watching. What was that? I got robbed. You want to do a police report? Yeah, I got two they said. Okay, listen, you understand that if you make a false police report, you go to jail. I'm just letting you know. You ain't got to let me know that. What was that? The consequences of lying to the police. Okay, I just want to make that very clear. Huh? I said I'm a grown man and I understand the law. Okay, so if we review footage, what are we going to see? You're going to see somebody stealing something, bro. Okay, so In the parking lot of Walmart, right there. All right, so give me a run down of what happened. I'm walking to my car like this. I get to my car, I got a Durango, I parked in the trunk. I'm assuming y'all got police activity out there in the back. So everybody is distracted, kind of looking that way, I'm assuming. When I'm looking this way, they're pulling the groceries either from here or my truck. Right there in the parking lot. You saw it? No, I didn't see it. That's why I'm back here with no groceries. I'm I'm I'm asking I'm doing what I'm >> That doesn't make no sense. So you never saw anybody go in the back of your car. So you basically remember loading up groceries You got footage, just go look at your video. I got to look at it. We ain't got to play the whole day with my life. Okay. I'm not That's not what That's not what I'm saying. It just seems very Well, you come up here, you say do I know the false police Cuz they're they're saying that they If you want to let me speak, I'll explain it to you. They're saying that they reviewed footage and that's not what they see. What did they say they I I didn't get to review the footage myself. What did they say? I don't know. I have to go see it myself. Okay, go. The man claimed that his groceries had been stolen in the store's parking lot, but the surprising part was that he believed the store should be responsible for those items. You see it and you went and got everything back. Yeah. Yeah, you can't do that. I told them. I didn't just do that. Yeah, but it's not I understand, but it's not That's not on them. Yes, it is. No, it isn't. This is their parking lot. Yes, it is. It doesn't matter. They're not They're not responsible They're not responsible for it. Yes, it is. Okay, you can say what you want. I'm telling you what they're telling me. They don't want you leaving with the groceries. They don't want you leaving with the groceries. It's just as simple as that and they're allowed do that. And I got robbed and y'all are talking about Because of that, they're not they're not held responsible for that. Which I am. But I'm letting It doesn't matter. It's up to them. It's a private business. If you don't If you If you feel like they're responsible for it, take them to small claims court and sue them. But you can't walk out with these groceries like this. Yeah, I don't I I don't know what you're doing, but I'm letting you know that if you walk out with these groceries, right, you're shoplifting. You paid for the ones that got stolen. But you have to go through the court. Well, I don't know if they want you doing that. The man grew increasingly frustrated when his situation was not being resolved, and he became even more irritated when store loss prevention employees showed up at the scene. Ain't nobody giving a [ __ ] about I just got robbed, bro. That's very infuriating, dog. This is This is what we see. This is what we saw. Do you want to listen or not? I'm listening. >> Okay. All right, so we saw him get to his car as he's putting his groceries in the trunk. You can see that three people go into the vehicle next to his. Uh it looks like they stopped between because it looked like they're talking to him. It's hard to really tell from the distance of the angle. They're talking to him. distracted me and the other two with the doing something. Like so, he ends up taking the groceries out of his trunk, putting them back in the cart, moving the cart >> that? He's moving the groceries out of his trunk into the shopping cart, Okay. and pulling the shopping cart across to the next car with the groceries in it. Me? Yes. I took groceries out of my truck, put it back in the cart, and pushed the cart away? Is that what you're saying right now? He walked the shopping cart >> Show me on that camera, man. Show him that. Yeah, I'll I'll I'll review it all, don't worry. I'll review it. >> Me pull groceries out of the trunk. Is what you see. And put them in the shopping cart and walk the shopping cart over to the other side. >> You seen this, too? Yes. Me pull groceries out of my trunk. Yes, and you leave the cart over You leave the cart over there. And the three people get into the blue Infiniti that's parked next to your white truck. They reverse out of that spot. They get out. Then they They go straight to the shopping cart, load the stuff into the >> question is, you see me put the groceries in there, not them? Yes. Why the According to the employees' conclusion, there had been no robbery at all. Everything had been done by the man himself, which made the police suspect that he was attempting something suspicious. So, you guys are >> Well, according to the video, it does seem like maybe you are doing something. I'm not doing a Oh my god, I come here every day. Okay, so if I review it and it is what they're saying and you basically lied I didn't lie. Not I didn't But if the video says if the video shows something completely different than what you're telling me, what's lying, the video or you? So, what I'm saying is enough of the games. >> I'm not playing games. I'm lost at the fact that So, it's me doing that? You guys want them trespassed. You want me to trespass? I'm not a problem. I'm I'm the paying customer. What the What are you talking about, trespassing? I pay. I don't steal. I don't rob. I don't scam. But according to them According to them and according to video Listen, according to video That's shocking me. That's the only part that's shutting me up right now. I can't believe that. That part is so unbelievable. I'm doing that? Can you wait over here and I'll review it? Maybe they're seeing something that they shouldn't. All right? Let me review it and I'll come back. We'll come right back. We'll come right back. Are you going to stay here or are you Are you going to dip as soon as I leave? I'm not going to dip, bro, but I don't want to go to jail behind me getting robbed. Honestly got robbed, bro. You walk out with those groceries. >> walking out with the groceries. Okay, I'm just making it very clear. Shortly after, the police reviewed the surveillance cameras to confirm that the employee's statements were accurate, but on the other hand, the only thing the man had to support his claim was his repeated insistence that he was a regular customer there. Listen, we are the main bro. I come here every other a lot of these that work here. That's why they talking to me cuz they personally see me here every day for years. I got you. I got you. crazy. I'm not even mad No, I'm mad at I'm mad at this [ __ ] store, bro. I spend money in this every other day and you tell me you can >> Yeah, I feel you. That's why I came here way I came here, bro. They posted easy to say, "Oh, it's $56." two days spending my money, bro. I got you. So listen, listen. Like they said, you have to have a police report. And I All right, it is It's our parking lot.

I live a block cuz at the end of the day, I do understand what you're saying. You got to be responsible for your own Well, somebody stick their foot out while you're putting it in. That's a [ __ ] one-two right there that you [ __ ] ain't stepped on and on top on. That's a whole different analogy. It's cool. So listen, I'll I'll repay for it, bro. I can do that, bro. I can I can repay for this [ __ ] I got bread. Listen, I'm not It's not It's not a question about I'm mad at them. I'm not even mad at my My people ain't even with y'all.

I'mma be here tomorrow whether you here or not. I'm going to be here. And I just got robbed for the first time I come here for years and you [ __ ] ain't even trying to look out. Although the story he created sounded very detailed, it ultimately turned into a charge of making a false report once the police had learned the full truth. And what followed was the consequence he had to face. You got all the items in the shopping cart, you get in your truck, you drive away, and then that car that parked next to you comes and takes the groceries. So, for that reason, which I explained to you beforehand, if you provide a false statement, I'm going to take you to jail. >> came out and I'm taking you to jail. You just came out and said I was telling the truth. And put your hands You just came out earlier and said I was telling the truth. Why you We're not going to play this game. He's lying.

And you you came out and said you look at the camera and see that I ain't lying. Chris. I'm trying to buy groceries. And I got robbed. Bro, Let's go. What are you doing, bro? [ __ ] bro. Your hands in the back of the car. How do you sleep at night, bro? You You're throwing an innocent man in jail. I got robbed. Put your feet in. I got robbed and you're throwing me in jail. The man was ultimately charged with making a false police report. According to investigators suspicions, the man had staged the robbery story in an attempt to scam the store by forcing them to take responsibility for groceries he had actually removed himself. He believed the scheme would get him money or replacement items for what he had purchased, but instead, it only earned him a ticket straight to jail. Even the next woman showed no shame about her wrongdoing. Just like scanning them and just not paying for them? Okay. About how much money was that? Okay. Cuz if it's just a soda in the bag, then it wouldn't be no need for her to like scan the bag. So the the gift cards are in the bag. >> On January 20th, 2025, the police received a call from a store after they discovered one of their employees committing fraud by manipulating gift cards. For more details, the store manager explained the situation clearly. So what she was doing was gift card fraud. Okay. Um So she was, of course, uh getting different getting different gift cards and uh cashing them out but without paying for them. So right now her total is up to $970. Okay. Got you. So I have video of uh of a few days and then I do have all of her transactions. And when did this all occur? So her first transaction was on December December 17th. Okay. And then she did three on December 18th. Okay. Um well, her first one was a Boost Mobile for 200. Uh And that's all on here? Uh-huh. And then on the 18th, her first one was a $50 Chipotle. And then here we have a $100 Amazon. Uh which was on the 18th also. So she did three. This is a Victoria's Secret for 100. So that was three gift cards she did on the 18th. Okay. And and how exactly is she doing this? She She So Is she just stealing the gift cards? >> Yeah. So she would go and get a gift card cuz Cuz the cashier. Okay, got you. >> So she's ringing them Uh-huh. up by herself. So she's concealing them. Like one transaction, it would be like in a paper in a plastic bag or the gift card would be underneath her phone or underneath the Kroger magazine. So like that. Got you. Um And of course I watched videos to make sure that, you know, none of these transactions were for customers, which they weren't cuz she had no customers. Uh-huh. Except for the one Except for the one transaction. Um which she did it right in front of two different customers. Like right in front of as another customer was coming to the line, she did it. From the investigation conducted by the loss prevention department, it became clear that the woman had made a serious mistake. Yet the suspect's attitude showed no sign of remorse. Hey, what's going on? Did she tell you? Huh? Did they tell you? What's that? They didn't like you were with me, right? Yeah, yeah. So Charles chatted with her about it, but I just I wanted to chat with you about it as well. Go ahead then. Okay. So um can you tell me exactly what happened? Just so I can get your side of the story. Okay. How How were you doing that? I was going to do the um register. Okay. Just like scanning them and just not paying for them? Okay. About how much money was that? It was like 500. Okay. On what dates was this happening? Like December. In December, like before Christmas. Throughout December, okay. So you're just scanning them, not paying for them, and then you take them home? Okay. Do you remember about how many transactions you did this with? Like more than four. More than four, okay. How long you worked here? Probably just a month. So it's like the first She showed no shame as she openly admitted her wrongdoing, but the store had already made its own decision. Do you all want to press charges? Yes. Okay. Yes, sir. Um I would like to see that video. Mhm. Um I'm going to wait for my partner to get here. Okay. And then I'll go in there in your office. Are you able to watch it in your office? >> seeing what I can do right now. Okay. If you wouldn't mind just working on pulling that up. >> Mhm. Um and then once he gets here, I'll come in there and watch it. Does that work? Yeah, yeah, that works Okay. And there is your license back. Okay. Absolutely. As Nicole will talk to you about next steps. Just as a heads up, sir. As far as the job goes. Yeah, they told me um I can either sign January 26th. sign for like volunteer just like cuz I'm a or something. Uh-huh. I just want to do that. That was probably the case like that. So the officer told me about like depending on and like of course how much it was, they wouldn't have to prosecute. So if she would have never said that, I would have signed the papers. They just put that down. At the same time, an officer reviewed the surveillance cameras with the manager that captured her actions, and this became the evidence that clearly exposed the woman's behavior. So this is the one for the 7th of cuz this is this is her last transaction on January 7th, so right now >> January 7th, okay. So this one she did a $300 Amazon card. $300 Amazon. So right here So right now the gift cards are in the bag. Okay. So as you know, she works like you know, a shift, so at some point during during her shift, she goes over there in front of customer service cuz that's where they are Mhm. and picks up the gift cards. Got you. Um so right now, they're in the bag. She has a a Mountain Dew or something that's in the bag. Mhm. But then you'll see what she does here. Cuz if it's just a soda in the bag, then it wouldn't be no need for her to like scan the bag. So the the gift cards are in the bag. Got you. And then put it under the And then scans it through the see. Okay. Got you. So she scans put it back. And that all pop I mean that all populates on there anyway. So that's like you know. So now she's putting in how much she wants on the gift card. Okay. I know it's pretty hard to see. Pretty bold. Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah, especially what she did. Three three cards on one day. I was like oh >> matches up. Yeah. Okay. I wrote I wrote it on here also so just in case. Awesome. I appreciate that. Now that that helps a lot. >> Oh yeah, no problem. No problem. So So this is basically the whole trend. So it's either through a Kroger bag underneath the Kroger magazine Okay. underneath her phone. Okay. And it was clear that the woman's wrongdoing could not be forgiven. So the police took action. Um Like I said, I appreciate you being up front with me. Um I appreciate you being cool with us. Um so the total was 970 in total. Um over several transactions. Um so you are going to be under arrest for theft by shoplifting, okay? So I need you to stand up and turn around. It was straight there. What's that? Yeah, it was straight. Yeah, it was almost a thousand. She was charged with theft by shoplifting. Admitting your wrongdoing without shame will not erase the consequences because once the evidence is clear, the law will always take its course. Even more astonishing, let's meet the next suspects who stole a credit card. You want to you want to just be real or you want to keep going with the BS? I found the credit card in my spot. That's better. Okay. You had a good time at Walmart and Target. >> inside. I'll talk to you in a minute. On January 9th, 2022, the police received a report from a pizza shop after a victim whose credit card had been stolen called to say the card had been used there. This was what happened when the officers arrived at the scene. How you doing? Somebody called from here? Is it Okay. So, what's going The lady that owns the car just called me now. Hey, what's up, man? What's going on? You got an ID on you by chance? I do not. All right. I wasn't driving. You have an ID? I didn't ask you if you were driving. I don't know. Okay. Just keep your hands out of your pockets for me, okay? Cool. You live in Margate? You live in Margate, too? Yeah. What's your first name? Cory. C O R Y. Okay. Last name? Schmalix. S C H M A L I X. Okay. How did you guys pay for the pizza? With a credit card. Okay. What credit card? Uh my friend's card. Okay. And what's your friend's name? Uh Laura. Laura? What's her last name? Thomas. Really? It was clear that she was lying when she could not even state her friend's full name, and the truth only began to unfold when the officer confronted them and gave them one more chance to be honest. You You realize You You would realize I probably know the answers to the questions that I'm asking before, right? You want to You want to just be real or you want to keep going with the BS? I found the credit card in my pocket. That's better. Okay. Very good. Where's the card at? So, you think it's cool to just use other people's credit cards or what? >> No. All right. What if this was your card? I would be really upset. Huh? We were just hungry. We didn't What does that have to do with anything? It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. You were just hungry? What kind of excuse is that? It's not an excuse, and I apologize. I'm sorry. Now, you got any other cards on you that don't belong to you? Can I check? No. Huh? >> It's my card. Okay. can I check? Sure. I don't want you reaching in your purse. I'm asking you if I can check to make sure that you don't have any other cards that don't belong to you or anything. 304188 Yes, I can. Okay, very well. 488, yeah. I had my wallet From a distance, the owner of the stolen card also appeared, and she was extremely furious as her words suggested this was not the first time the suspects had used it. All right, you can just go inside. I'll talk to you in a few minutes. You have a good time at Walmart and Target. >> inside. I'll talk to you in a minute. All right, for now just put your hands behind your back. And you, too. Put them till we figure this [ __ ] out. Huh? Yeah. All right, have a seat on the uh wall. How'd you pay for the CVS cards? Huh? Your credit card? I don't have my phone. Phone belong to you? Yes. The wallet belong to you? Yes. You sure? Yes. Where's her wallet? My old wallet. Where's her wallet? Huh? Where is it? All right, tossed it out the window. Your card. No, I didn't say I lost my wallet. You didn't? That's what it sounded like to me. Returning to the victim, the woman presented the full story along with the evidence, starting from the moment she lost her wallet. I left it in the bathroom right here. I left my wallet, turned around, went back in, it was gone. So, 411 was the first charge on the BJ's MasterCard. >> Okay. Yeah, like I can show you my emails, Discover. Like, I've been canceling all >> What was the amount here? 38 and change. Um I had to freeze my American Express. So, here, uh this is 3867 This Walmart, they tried to hit me. This is where Uh this one is the one in I can get locations. You want me to call the credit card company and say the locations? If you can, um I'll give you a sheet of paper or something. You got a scrap paper or anything? Please. If you want to just itemize what the to the best that you can, times and locations. Cuz if it happened in another jurisdiction, they either one, they could respond here, or more than likely, they'll probably just forward it to their detectives. I'll probably end up charging her tonight, and then they can follow up on the other charges in the other jurisdictions. >> Cuz um they they hit my That card that they had, it's a gray card with a check mark on it, and on the back it'll say BJ's card. >> was used here? That was used here. According to the police investigation, the man was not involved in stealing the card, but whether he had used it or not was something the officers questioned him about to clarify. So, if I go to look at the video that this victim gives me the timeline of Walmart, Target, uh etc., etc., I'm not going to see you on that video. Let's go. Come on, man. Don't lie straight to my face, man. Come on. I'm very tight with the loss prevention officer at Walmart and I will have her send me a clip of the video right now. I can't even remember. Well, this is like before 2010. I haven't been arrested or in trouble in well over a decade. Yeah. Did you purchase anything for yourself? Mhm? Who swiped the card, you or her? Her. You weren't so sure? I mean Again, I'm going to pull the video, man. So, we should might as well just get straight up. Mhm? Her. Every time? CVS, Walmart? Basically all four of them? The woman only admitted that she had spent $1,300, but in reality, the total damage had reached $6,300. At that point, she began to regret her actions and tried to change the outcome of her situation. You know Can I tell you the truth about something? >> What's up? The wallet is at my house. I told him if I said I had her wallet still, I was going to get in more trouble, but Well, it's honestly whether you have it or not is not going to change anything. It's at my house on the ottoman. I appreciate it. Believe it or not, for her You know how you said Everything is there. Okay, listen. So, you know how you said to me that you know, what's done is done and whatever, there's nothing you can do to change Believe it or not, by you telling me that, it changes a lot cuz it doesn't change your charges, okay? Cuz what's done is done. Whether you're in possession of it still or not doesn't change your charges. You're not getting add charged with anything. You're actually going to be much more likely for the victim to have a lot of mercy on you because pictures of her mother and father who passed away are in that wallet. So, the fact that you have that is going to have, I'm sure, we don't determine what your charges, I mean, we don't necessarily determine like what your penalties are, your charges are. So, I'm sure the victim, when she goes to court later, is going to be a lot more merciful when she realizes she's going to get her [ __ ] back. You know what I'm saying? The woman was initially charged with seven felony counts of fraudulent use of a credit card, seven counts of criminal use of personal identification. The man, however, was also charged with five felony counts of fraudulent use of a credit card, and five counts of criminal use of personal identification information. Stealing someone's wallet might seem like an easy opportunity, but every transaction leaves a trail, and the truth will eventually catch up. What may feel like a quick solution in a difficult moment can quickly turn into serious legal consequences that follow you for years. Even more confusing, the man continued displaying extremely bizarre behavior. He's Yeah, he's he's scrolling. He was in the He was in the bathroom laying out. >> Yeah, that's what she said. I mean, I don't think that's illegal. It just says something something by motion picture searching. On the 30th of April, 2025, the police received a call from Walmart about the appearance of a man behaving strangely inside the store. The officers quickly detained the suspect and brought him to the loss prevention room, where his actions were clearly described. I was the same man. It wasn't my fault. Okay, I just want She's gone. She's gone. >> That's him right here. She said that >> so damn it. I ain't getting We ain't getting him by the uh Yeah. >> That's him right there. I ain't getting him by the uh register though, did I? By the register? That's when he was taking the stuff. Yeah. That was the other day? That was today. That was That was before y'all walked in. So, why he changed clothes or something? No. No, the picture I showed you was from Sunday. Oh, I see. Yeah, this is the day. Yeah, this is what he was just doing it. Well, right here. He sent Yeah, he sent the He's scrolling. He was in the bathroom laid out. That's what I >> said. He was in there. He's driven, man. He might be high, dude. Yeah. He might be high off something. Like it is like alcohol bottle. What you mean by that? Okay. Yeah. Well, we got to see y'all don't know. Yeah. He was laid out in the bathroom, so we went to go check on him cuz he had been in See, then he tried to get in the register right here. Okay, bet. Okay, I might need you. All right. Yeah. Yeah, she said that y'all coming to get him cuz she's getting her customers out. They come out of the store. Call somebody else in case he takes something. I'm going to be over here. We talked to him. Got it? His actions were considered quite bizarre, making the employees question whether he might have had a mental illness. Yeah, I'm thinking along those lines. You got Yeah, I got Yeah, he don't look like he got like mental issues or whatever. I don't know. No, he's high off something. He ain't drunk. He ain't high. He was definitely high off some [ __ ] the other day when he came in here. I don't know. He went to the bathroom. He flushed something. He might have flushed whatever he Whatever he had when I went to the bathroom. But the alcohol bottle was sitting right there. Spin that. Look at that. He going to pick this up for me. All right. He coming now. Did he put anything in that book bag that he got on him? I mean, possibly? He He possibly could have cuz when he was >> him put something on his person, but I don't know if he put anything in the book bag. But he got some stuff now that he can do something. Yeah, he must definitely open that soda and was drinking that at the register. But when we first seen him at self check out up He was stuffing stuff. Look at his jacket. So, where? That's him. Okay, I see. During the observation, they saw that the man brought money to attempt a payment, but the bill was actually unusable, and the police then verified this. Turn around. This way. I got that from >> Open your legs for me. a friend. But that's what I wanted to know. It's not fake, either. The hundred dollar bill? Yeah, that's fake. It's not fake. It's from a movie. Yeah, you tried to pay for You tried to pay at Walmart with that. Yeah. Cuz it's from a movie. I thought no one would notice. I mean, I don't think it's illegal. It just says uh "For motion picture purposes only." It says "From a motion picture purposes only." I don't got no money. I don't got no money in my credit card. I don't got nothing. Do you got anything else? No, I just want my phone and my backpack. That's it. No, I was drinking out of the iron thing that I had in my hand. >> Although he admitted that it was fake money, he immediately tried to act innocent by making the excuse that he did not know. The man was charged with attempting to use counterfeit currency to make a purchase, consuming store merchandise without paying for it, and possessing store items with the apparent intent to steal. This case showed that trying to use fake money and casually using store items without paying only turned a small situation into multiple criminal charges. What do you think about cases like this?

On September 4th, 2024, police received a report that a woman had concealed merchandise while shopping at a mall.

From answering the phone to forgetting the place she had come from, everything raised clear suspicion of evasion. At that point, the police directly voiced their suspicions. All right. Did you conceal any merchandise on you? Did you take any clothing? Cuz we're going to go to the store and look at the cameras. So. >> Okay. Hello. So, did you take any clothing? >> No, I did not.

The woman looked calm and cooperative with the police, but deeper down, she was very anxious about the current situation, as shown by the curious look in her eyes while watching what the officers were doing. I'm under arrest for what? >> You're not under arrest. You're just being detained at this time. Detained for what though, officer? For potentially shoplifting. For potentially? Not for actually, potentially? So, you're matching the description of somebody that reported shoplifting in a store. I just literally got to this mall. So, we're looking at camera footage right now.

Either you can just give them to us now or when we have an officer come and search you and find the items, then we can charge you additionally. Okay, and what happens? In fact, the police already knew she was concealing merchandise. What they were doing was giving her a chance to admit it herself before a female officer arrived to conduct a search. Well, let's give us the items that you have concealed under your dress. And then we'll get you out of here as soon as we can. >> No, no, you're going to you're going to arrest me. We are.

I don't know what's up. He went to crowd city. Probably passed the late Clarence and went where the toys get Police waited for the moment he stepped past the final point of sale, but he never did. Instead, he moved into a blind spot of the cameras, raising even more suspicion. You can see his face is blowing it up from that angle when he was showing his pants. The child Yeah, they're coming in to take a look. See if he's still in here somewhere. He probably went towards garden area, but that's the area he's walking towards cuz he's going through 6721, I think he's either in the back bathroom line or the garden area. He went to That's it.

Damn! What is wrong with y'all, man? What is going on? I want to know what's going on. The man reacted aggressively to deny his actions, and even during the escort, officers did not have an easy time handling him. Hey, last time. >> I have not done anything, man. This is Why Okay, can y'all explain to me why I'm getting arrested? Why am I getting arrested? Why am I getting arrested? This is man. What the [ __ ] have I done?

In the end, the man was charged with shoplifting and resisting arrest. When someone chose to escalate a situation instead of cooperating, it only made the consequences heavier and removed any chance of leniency. >> I just want to explain everything. I'll explain everything later. Cuz I did something wrong. You know what I mean? Like I get it, but that's not how I work. On January 27th, 2025, police received a report of a theft that had occurred at Target. The suspect was believed to be a woman who attempted to take $6,000 worth of merchandise without paying. The moment police appeared likely made her visibly uncomfortable. Hey. It was a high amount, so I get it. It's my fault. It wasn't my fault. They didn't mean to You just said you weren't calling the cops. Yeah, but You said it was three different times. The system alerted them, so but you have to sign right here. >> I'm not signing a blank piece of paper. All right. Well, I mean, you still got to deal with them. Yeah, clearly. Like thanks for lying to me, dude. >> have your driver's license? >> No, I just gave him the information I had. I don't have an ID. I'm trying to catch the bus. I'm homeless. Like this is crazy. I didn't know that he He promised he wasn't calling the cops, but now he's I wasn't stealing just to steal, sir. Okay, but you were stealing there, right? It was known that she admitted her actions to store employees, but she showed no remorse at all and even continued to cause trouble while police were doing their job. What is your last name? All right. I'll show my ID. 241. I see your driver's license. >> first name? Teresa Burrell. You say Teresa? Teresa. Can you spell it? T E R E S A. Teresa, do you have a middle name? Am I going to jail right now? I don't know. >> Are you guys arresting me? I don't know. What do you mean you don't know? How do you not know? Cuz I don't know what happened yet. I haven't talked to them. I'm just asking you for your information. I just want to know if I'm going to Yeah, I know you're in a huge rush. I don't >> a rush. That's why I want I don't know if you're going to jail. I haven't talked to him yet. >> Okay. Have you heard me talk to anybody but you since I walked in? You're so slowed out. >> Okay. You're not going anywhere till we're done. >> Yeah, clearly. Clearly. Uh What's the law? She came in here and she just started coming in with a huge bag. She started putting merchandise in her bag as she was walking the floor, dropped her bag, and after that she came to the front, passed all the check lanes, went downstairs without paying for it, and that's when we got her. Central 241. How much is It was $164. $164. Okay. What do you guys want to do? Do you want her arrested? Yes. Arrest her. Arrest her. Arrest her. Arrest her. That was the store's decision, and police acted immediately afterward, but her attitude still stood out clearly. Do you want to stand up? After all this, I'm probably going to be good. Drop the bag. I want to check my stuff. Nope. Nope. The bag is going to be examined in back, okay? Okay. Okay. I have a book in my hand. Can I put it in my purse now? Just drop it. No, wait. Write this down and give it to me, too. Huh? Write this down and give it to me, too. We'll explain everything later. >> god. Do you have like an internal thing where you trespass them? Do you have like internal factors we call them out? You do? Yeah. Because in DuPage County, Bob Berlin, which is the state attorney up there, they have people that have been trespassed, and then they come back and they want to know what to do. They got one coming to charge you with to the station. Might as well just do it over there. Try to start doing that. So, I was just wondering if you guys have that, just let Essential 342 female 190 male 95. Can we have the female meet us at the station? It's Saturday. I know you guys are repeated offenders. Let our guys know. Got you. Because like at home I tried to scream burglary and then down the road Can I put my photo Can you put my photo in my bag, please? In your bag? I just put it in I almost walked out with them earlier. So, you can have >> Oh my god. Yeah, I want it. I want my bag and my purse. You'll get it. Thank you. Nothing illegal in there, right? That we have to worry about? Cuz we're going to search. At that moment, the woman was escorted to the patrol car. She showed no reflection on her wrongdoing and continued to express her irritation toward the employees for calling the police. I'm not signing that piece of paper cuz there's nothing on that piece of paper. Okay. So Got you. I don't like how that voice like is. Okay. He lied to me obviously. Not that it matters. I did something wrong. You know what I mean? Like I get it, but that's not how I wanted to play it out. You have Uh Wilson know just to check the videos. Cuz they see I walked the last time cuz I didn't see it at first the video. I actually did. While other procedures were being carried out, police attempted to search her for safety reasons, but her behavior suggested this was far from her first time going through it. Got nothing on you that's going to stab anybody. >> took your names up? No, I don't think so. No, you don't think so? >> I don't think so. Usually I would know what's going on. >> a knife. I do have a knife on me. That's on my fanny pack though. That's not going to stab you. Where's your fanny pack? >> needles? No. All right. I have these little things on my uniform right now. Oh, please don't pop that. That's my money. Oh, wait. You don't take off the Target card in there. 10-4. 10-4. I did it. I have a Target gift card. I know the irony of it all. Where's your fanny pack at? >> It's inside my jacket. You might have to check it just to grab the knife. >> All right. Knife inside by my crotch. >> All right. It unbuckles. I'm going to unbuckle it. >> Sure does. I don't know what's in there either. All right. Well, I'll check before we go in. You got anything else crazy on you or no? No. Let me see the back of your hand. Oh my god, are you still new? Huh? Are you still new? You did. In the end, the woman was charged with retail theft. Showing no shame or no remorse does not make you right. When you are at fault, the only right choice is to take responsibility and act accordingly.
