Is there a theft today? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Okay. On both or just one? >> Uh, I have to I'd have to clear it for both. All I know is what happened. We We were going up to another register.

Just no cash was given to him or to the cashier. >> This was just him doing this part though, right? >> That few seconds I saw at the register to get this time stamp was just him at the register. >> Okay. >> With that, the male suspect's wrongdoing was made clear. But what about the woman? It could be said she was one of the key pieces in the fraud scheme, >> but it's usually he pays for it, does the scam, she'll go to it'll go to another Walmart.

The cat and the >> Did you see what the card looked like at all that he tried? >> I have to go back and look at it again. >> It's still up on the on the screen. >> Take a picture of it. >> So, with their fake credit card, they had both obtained merchandise and received cash refunds from other Walmart locations. And at that point, police were certain of all the crimes.

Yeah. >> They were arrested for theft. Complicity to theft and outstanding warrants from prior incidents and were taken to jail. Crime built on deception always collapse under investigation, proving that organized theft inevitably led to arrest and accountability. In the next case, the woman believes she could take items from multiple stores without paying. >> Sure. and restore all your traction and restore your secret. >> On November 30th, 2024, police responded to a report of a multi-store theft suspecting a woman with a history of similar behavior. Let's hear how the employee described what happened. >> She came originally to exchange something. She was looking at these shirts here in the front. I had already seen her like, "Hey, how are you?" And then she's like, "Oh, I'm just looking." I was like, "Okay." And I seen her looking for a shirt and I was like, "Oh, what do you need?" And she's like, "Oh, immediately." She's like, "But I can help myself." She's like, she's like, "I can do it by myself." And then I was like, "You're already making it so obvious for yourself." But I'm like, "Okay." So I was like, "Oh, okay." But no, I was like, "This is my job. Whatever." So I grabbed a stack from her and I'm like, "I'm going to check the size for you." And she's like, "Okay, well, I'm looking for a medium." And she walked away from me and I didn't have a medium. So I was like, "Oh, I have a large or small." Which she's like, and she was ignoring me the whole time like she was talking like I was like, "Hello." Like she's like, "I'm like a large. Do you want a large? You want a large?" And she just kept ignoring me. And she my other social sales associate that's here right now. She was like super nice and she's like, "Hi, how are you? How's your day? How's your" and I was like, "Oh." I was like, "Did I offend you? Do you feel okay?" And she's like completely ignoring me, whatever. So, I already knew what she was doing. So, she grabbed the shirt and then she had in her hand. I turned the corner to help another customer. I turned back around. The shirt is not in her hand and it's not in the pile. So, I know she walked away, but >> So, the employee already suspected that the woman wasn't there to shop. And by coincidence, during their conversation, they also spotted the suspect's presence. >> Oh, look, that's her right there. That's her right there. >> The suspect's uh walking. This is the southbound through the through the mall. Stand by for store location. Just one shirt. Sh shirt attraction. Latino yellow shirt blue jeans and blue paint. >> She called us. >> Yeah. >> Look. >> Let's go back here though. >> Okay. >> And wait, wait a minute. Um, just watch her. >> No. >> Are you with her? >> I just walked in the store. No, I just bought in a store. >> Believe it's called Attraction. What's the name of the store? >> Attraction. >> Attraction. >> The woman appeared calm, but in reality, she was breathing heavily from trying to evade the police. Failing to escape, she turned back to deny everything, even though the officers hadn't said anything yet. At this point, she continued moving around, clearly showing her fear. >> I want right here. >> I just walked right here. I just walked in here. >> Where are you going? >> I don't know. >> Yeah, I know you're not going anywhere. Stop moving around. You're not moving around. Stop. >> You understand me? >> Yes, I'm going >> for >> What are you doing? I'm not I'm not. >> Do you want to be put in hand? >> No. No. Okay. So, chill. >> Yes. >> I mean, there's no reason to take it to another level cuz we're going to get all this figured out, >> right? >> Is there anything in this bag? >> No. >> Okay. Give me those bags. >> That's my purse. >> Yeah, I know. That's why I'm telling you to give me those bags. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Appreciate it. Give me all this here. Give me all that. Put your hands on. Why are you NOT DOING NOTHING? THE suspect was promptly taken into custody for further investigation, and everything quickly became clear once the police located the items in the bag she was carrying. >> Jesus. 16 406 Northeast 15th Court being a black Honda or Honda Forte Kia Forte 24. >> Oh, I'll be talking about it. >> Wow. She was just about to report right there. >> She was just about to report. >> Did you see her? >> Yep. She's got a mask right there. >> Did you just come out and take a look at her? See if the person that we're with >> to me. I saw her bent over with her bag and she kind of scrambled and quickly was like, "Oh, they don't have a sides." And after >> you were suspecting after she left, she went back, checked the drawer, saw [music] sections missing, and then I went back. And we don't we don't ever leave our sections like that. When you walked in, we were just having a problem. >> And you all have uh video surveillance in here. >> Yes, we do. >> Yep, we do. >> 128 is still okay. >> Wow. I mean, it's still 97. >> The items just returned by the police were from Victoria's Secret and remained intact, while goods from other stores were still unaccounted for. But first, they needed to verify her identity. US. >> Um, let me You want to um get the girl from down there? >> Yeah. Show up. >> You got any identification on you? >> My mother's phone. >> Your phone's in here. My phone call. Can I call my sister and tell them that they they left me? They seen you. Yeah. 28. >> They were down by Macy's. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. I'll get that. Do you think your your ID's in your wallet in there? >> Yeah. >> Where you from? >> Um, think you got any more? No, I don't get three. >> Last time you were arrested. >> The suspect was charged with retail theft and possession of stolen property with potential felony enhancements due to prior convictions. Repeated theft, even small at first, escalates quickly when ignored. Being caught in the act leaves no room for excuses, and prior offenses only make the consequences harsher. Next, the scammer came face to face with the authorities and encountered strict law enforcement. >> You be straight with me for 5 seconds here. Is your name? >> Hello. >> Okay. >> Black one. >> Well, let's talk about what's >> It seems a little fishy, but I mean, I'm going to try to make some money. On June 10th, 2025, officers received a call from Enterprise Auto Rental regarding a reported fraud. Upon confirming the situation, they immediately responded to the scene and the woman, seemingly noticing their arrival, attempted to leave. Stay here. Stay here. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Did you come in that whiteboard? >> We already know you came in that whiteboard, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Do you have any ID on you? >> Let me see this ID that's in your hand. Okay. >> Thank you. >> What's going on? >> Is your name Can you be straight with me for 5 seconds here? Is your name? >> Okay. >> Well, let's talk about what's going on first. Okay. We don't have to. >> All right. >> The more cooperative you are, the better it is for everybody. >> Okay. Does that make sense? >> Please let me go to jail. >> Do me a favor. Um, >> where are you coming from? >> Chicago. >> From Chicago. >> Yeah. >> You want to take a seat or you stand? Okay, [laughter] >> let's go. Please, please. >> Although the woman made no admission, her fear spoke volumes, even reflecting her frustration upon realizing that the officers had documented everything. >> Is this yours? >> Is this yours? >> Yeah. >> What is your What's your name? >> What's your name? >> What's your name? >> Okay. And you're out of the city? Yeah. >> Okay. >> Please just let me know now if I'm going. >> Well, we like I said, let's talk first and then we'll go from there. Okay. Who are you? Who did you come here with? >> Um, I don't even know the guy's name. >> You don't even know the guy's name? >> No. >> What do you call him? >> Uh, Jack. >> What? >> Jack. >> You call him Jack? >> Yeah. >> How did you meet Jack? >> Oh, city. >> Okay. Um, >> okay. Come on, son. >> We'll be I'll be right back, folks. >> The officers questioned her about another individual as their investigation indicated that the woman had been working with an organization involved in fraudulent activities. Shortly after she fully confessed, >> let's hang out right here. Okay. So, how did you meet Jack? >> Um, it was like maybe a week ago and he was like, "Hey, you want to make some money?" And you know, I I I was >> Okay. And I >> What are you doing here today? >> I was trying to get a rental car. >> You were just trying to get a rental car? >> Yeah. >> Okay. For what purpose? >> Uh I don't know. I was um >> For who? >> It was for Jack. >> Was it for Jack? How did you get How did you contact Jack? >> He ran into me. He ran into you. >> Yeah. Like I'm I'm I'm from like out west, you know? >> Out west? >> Yeah. >> Where are you from >> originally? like the north of suburbs. I've been living out west probably like 10 years. >> 10 years. Why did Jack need a rental car? >> I don't know. Like I know maybe a week ago. I need money. >> Okay. Um please. >> Where did you get this? >> I gave it to me. >> He gave it to you? >> Yeah. the events leading up to this. Okay. So, how did where did you meet Jack? Like, where where did you meet him today? Where did he pick you up? >> Uh, we were I think we went to uh McDonald's. Yeah, >> McDonald's. >> Me and my wife at McDonald's. >> What?

I was uh was maybe a little over a week ago. >> Okay. >> Um like a week and a half ago and uh it seemed a little fishy, but I mean I was trying to make some money. You know what I mean? >> Did he say you were going to get money? Did you say you were going to get paid if you were to get a rental car? >> Yeah. >> You didn't say why you needed a rental car? >> No. >> It appeared that she described being led by others into deeper involvement, but it seemed this was not the first time she'd mishandled money. >> When's the last time you were in trouble, red police? Um, I mentioned about a year ago for what? >> Um, I was in the car with somebody who stole my car. >> Was a stolen car? >> Yeah. >> Where did that happen at? >> Chicago. >> Chicago. Okay. So, you've never met You don't even know his first name. >> I don't even He went by Jack. >> So, he's like, they're they're trying to >> So, he she she only knows him by Jack. They met like two weeks ago or a week ago, and she just got picked up at the McDonald's in Austin. At this point, [music] the officers also coordinated with the store employee who had fortunately detected the wrongdoing early on. >> So that name through a reservation like 30 minutes ago and the person who was actually them called me and said, "Hey, like something just got booked under my name and I didn't book a rental." >> Don. John. Okay. >> Yeah. And she said it happened to her yesterday in Virginia. >> Interesting. >> Yeah. And then she gave me her phone number. It didn't match what was on file. when she came in, I asked her to verify her date of birth, which she knew on from there, but the address >> and um what I asked her address and phone number, she couldn't she didn't even know what they were. So, I put under my fraud fighter, which we have up there, and Lincoln's hat is not in the right spot. So, >> okay. >> And I called my wrist like, "What do you want me to do?" They said, "Call the cops." So, perfect. Okay. >> Um I'll just grab you real quick if you don't mind. >> Yeah. Here's the first. >> So, this happened to this chick, I guess, yesterday at at a different enterprise in Virginia. I'm not sure if it's the same person or not, but she just said she I she didn't say anything about like cops being involved or like actually like a fraud charge going through. She said like she ordered a credit card in the mail and it never arrived so that credit card got stolen somehow. Um but she said she had a rental book in her name yesterday in Virginia and she noticed this one today so she can call me right away. I don't really know what happened. >> You have her phone number for Carol. Can I write this down on a uh sticky note for you? Yeah. >> I'm fresh out of freaking pages. [laughter] Just write it on. >> Yeah. >> By this time, the man named Jack, who was clear that the driver initially fled the scene, remained a mystery. Even when speaking with the employees, there was no trace of him that they could identify. >> When we were I didn't even see that there was a driver in there. Cuz when we pulled up, >> we literally pulled in front of that car. And I'm like, "Oh, there's nobody in there." And then he ended up driving and taking off. So, um, I don't think we need cameras for that. He didn't get out of the car, did he? Did no one else got out of the car? >> No, she was the only one. She got out of the back seat and then she came in. I was asking her some questions and she went back to the car for a few minutes and then came back inside. Um, but yeah, I never saw anyone else get out of the car. So, >> Okay. So, when she came in, she provided you with that ID. She [music] did she use that credit card? She tried to use it. >> Didn't even >> I already knew. So, like I just >> I mean, it's a pretty bad fake ID to be honest with you. Oh, all right, man. Uh, cool. I'll call you if I need anything else. >> I appreciate you guys. >> I I mean, hang on. >> Got 17 different clothing happening right here. Say that again. >> I don't know. Probably. [snorts] >> I don't know. >> I don't know. I don't know. Anything involving ID theft and everything else is in credit card theft, whatever you want to call it, is a felony in Illinois, right? So, I mean, we have to call the state's attorney's office. We tell the state's attorney with what we have and then ultimately they're going to be the ones that are going to charge you. You have nothing in your pockets? >> I have money in my bra. That's it. >> Okay. Money in your bra. >> You help me? >> Yeah, I can help you up. >> How much money is in your bra? >> 100 and some change. >> 100 and some change. There's no drugs. The woman was charged with multiple counts of ID fraud and credit card fraud. Cooperation with authorities and honesty are crucial. Trying to hide involvement or complicate the investigation only worsens the consequences. Before moving on to the next shoplifter, let's meet this drama queen. >> I said, "God got you." I said, "God got you. God got you. God got you. God got you." >> Oh my god, Nick. I'm losing my baby. I'm losing my baby. On September 19th, 2021, police were dispatched to the airport after receiving a report of a passenger accused of assaulting an employee at a Spirit Airlines gate. Upon arrival, the scene remained tense [music] as the chaos that had just unfolded still lingered in the air. >> Hello. >> Hi. >> What's going on? >> Yeah. Um, we need to take her. She hit me. She pushed me. She did everything. I'm gonna press charge. So I want to help her here. >> Okay, >> that's it. So she's holding Gordon. You understand her? >> Security bridge as well and everything.

So, I'm going to show you my paperwork and I'm going to show you she's lying. Don't judge one side. Okay. >> The woman clearly wanted the police to listen to her, but her attitude toward them was entirely hostile. While the officers tried to understand what had happened, all she did was vent her anger. >> I miss my life. The goodness was his wife and I'm going to show you my car. >> Girl didn't like me. >> She had an attitude with me. You know what she told the guy? >> It's recording cuz I'm going to give you my phone so you can go outside and listen. He goes, "You know what? She's not getting a friend. It's okay. Leave her. She's not getting a fight. That's abuse of power. >> Two kids, officer. >> This is my kids. Okay. Show my new location back in level 21. >> I even give you my pen. Look, >> ma'am. Listen.

I'm going to give you the paperwork. I just want you to know how people, and I never see that in my life. I just want you to know how people abuse their power. >> She introduced her entire family and their professions as if she herself was the one abusing power. She did not make anything easy. >> Ma'am, you're not going to fly. >> Why? >> Because they're not going to allow it. >> Why? >> Because they said so. Doesn't matter. We have to go down. >> What? Our people. Ma'am, >> I paid for it. >> Driver's license and we need to go now. >> All right. But >> if you do not do this, I do not want to put you in handcuffs. >> All right. But I paid for it. >> Understood. We talk about that driver's license. Let's go. >> I just want to have I'm going to go, but I just have one. I'm going to go. I just have one question. >> So, you need to tell me that it's okay for someone to say, you know what? I don't want to hurt my life. Let's go. Come with me. Thank you. We can talk. We can talk.

God got you. God got you." >> Keep coming. >> God got you, baby. Don't worry. >> At that point, it was still unclear who was truly at fault. But the moment she walked out past the security gate, the reaction of the other passengers said everything. >> We can't go through here. All right. Okay. Just go around. >> Follow me. Just follow me. Follow me. Follow me. Follow me. Follow me. Follow me. Follow me. >> Yeah. Make sure you put that on Facebook. Right. [cheering] Thank you. >> Let's go. Let's go. Go. Come here. Come Come with me.

It's okay. >> I'm an officer. Like, >> I made over 100K a year. I'm okay. I'm okay. >> There you go. >> I'm okay. >> One officer stayed behind with the airport staff to continue hearing their side of the story. And through those statements, the suspect's sense of entitlement became increasingly clear. >> U she was talking, so I was talking to her and everything like really nice. She'd be like, "Hey, can you change my seat?" And then she was talking like, >> "I'm military. I'm pregnant." And I'll be like, "Okay, yeah. Are you pregnant?" So, how many months? And she'd be like, "Eight months." And I'll be like, "Okay." But she apparently be in toxic care, you know, as well. She's male. Like, >> so I'll be like, you know, take a seat over here. Take a break. You're going to board last. Could give you some break while you >> where where was all this happening? Over here or >> over here in front?

Okay. >> Yeah, the mom, >> you know, like that >> and then she hit her. >> Oh, that. Okay, there. Okay, got separate. >> Can you send that to me? >> Back with the woman, she appeared to believe she had the right to act that way as she continued boasting about her power at that moment. >> I make 120. I make 120 years ago. I'm not going to pick it up. >> Get your manager to tell me that I need to get there. >> From here, man. >> It's okay. Get your I make 100 20 >> I make 120,000 a year.

I'ming losing my baby. >> Oh mying god. Oh my god. >> It was obvious that this was a tantrum she had just come up with on the spot, unfolding so naturally that it clearly was not her first time. Her behavior grew increasingly more irrational by the minute. Let me [laughter] give me give me a >> 1842. I didn't have a birth child. Normal love. You wanted to [ __ ] show mommy. Look at my son.

I heard you now. You said it to me twice. I heard you. >> Leave me alone. >> You're under arrest. >> Here, it's okay. You want to know that you see the blade that you touch? Make sure you uh >> that break. >> Finally, she was charged with disorderly conduct and battery. Lying about authority, escalating emotions, and refusing to cooperate [music] only destroyed her own position and turned a manageable situation into criminal charges. Next, this employee ended up risking his entire future for the sake of his friendship. >> So, you are willing? Yes, basically >> to take a charge for a good friendship. >> On April 23rd, 2024, police received a call from Target regarding a theft that had occurred with the suspect [music] believed to be the store's own cashier. Upon arriving at the scene, the manager immediately laid out everything they had uncovered. >> On here, just kind of everything happened. So over the past since July 26th, so we have on camera for video evidence um just doing markdowns for his friends like uh video games marking on 50% unauthorized and um you know on three separate occasions that we have on video the same three friends, same card number. Um so we've been talking to men there about everything that happened. He admitted to it and then on the 14th of this month scanned himself a gift card and put cash payment in cash. >> Let me just stop you there one second. So this about a month ago there was some activity that happened here marking stuff down, >> seeing it on video, >> saying kids got it on video, all that stuff. You talked to him at that point about it. >> Uh were any charges? Did you press any charges at that time? >> No. So the the stuff that we talked to him about, we're talking all to him right now about everything that occurred. Um >> reason is cuz we didn't know it was a trend cuz usually like said you have a a one guess. It's random, right? So when we reviewed video and kind of kept tabs on them, he had it three separate occasions, same kids. Some of them wear the same clothes doing unauthorized markdowns pretty much like I said half off. So yeah, >> and these are and these are um customers coming in, friends of his, whatever it is, he's doing all >> he admitted that they were friends of his that he was pretty much hooking them up. >> Okay. >> And then also the 14th this month, uh most recently, he scanned himself a $100 Target Visa gift card on the register. When you put cash, you have to put cash in the register. If not, he'll pretty much just charge Target for it. So he pretty much charged Target for it and then put it in a bag and sealed his pocket and walked out. So >> when we uh were in the office with him, um we pretty much talked to he still had a mission statement. pretty much aditt it to everything that he's been marking down stuff for for his friends since beginning of this year and it's probably close to like two grand a loss. >> Thus, the suspect committed wrongdoing for the sake of his friends. Not only scamming gift cards, but also abusing his position to take other merchandise. >> Um, sorry, I'm just supporting a case. So, this is >> not mine. Um, this was Markdowns at the register. So friends of his that came through um for Legos, video game accessories, and for the most part everything was about 50% markdown uh for unauthorized price overrides. Um so there was three backto-back transactions on this occasion. So that's the first transaction. Second one here is for like a digital storage device. Uh the other one was for like a computer gaming accessory for video gaming accessory. >> Was he running the register? Yeah, he was maning the register. >> And who was the customer? >> Um, so on all of these occasions, it was three males. I'm not familiar with them. He said that >> were that people you knew? >> Uh, I knew two of them. >> Who was the third one? >> Third one um is a friend of theirs and I didn't know him personally very well, but yeah. >> So, what was the deal? Like you you were cutting them a break and then they were paying you off or >> No, I didn't do this thing and all of my >> Then why you're dead? >> Then why you did that? Well, >> I don't. >> If you thought the man had sacrificed his entire future for friendship, [music] think again. Police had already noticed suspicious demeanor behind the motive for his wrongdoing. >> So you are willing? Yes, basically >> to take a charge for a good friendship. >> No, I I understand that. It just like blows my mind that you're willing to do that. Go to jail >> for a friend. I mean, I want you as my friend, dude. So, out of all this, you kept $100 for yourself. You still have that gift card or you already use it? >> Um, my family has it. I don't know if they used it or not. You >> who you gave it to? >> Gave it to my father. >> Your father? >> I um I do have one on me though. >> Huh? >> I do have one on me. >> The friend? >> I believe there was two gift cards I stole. >> How much each? 500 >> $100 each. >> And the one that you gave [music] it to your dad, you just gave him as a gift or did you tell him? >> Um, my grandfather has a pancreas infection right now. >> Uh-huh. >> And so I kind of gave it to him as like, you know, some money to help pay for the hospital, but that's about it. In reality, the $100 he mentioned was nowhere near enough to cover the hospital bills he claimed. At that point, police proceeded to question him about the individuals he referred to as his friends. >> Okay. >> Uh, three guys. I don't know. >> Um, I I just know he's a friend of theirs. And so I know the other two, Gavin and Kyle. >> Okay. So, three three people, three individuals. Okay. >> You say what's his name? >> Um, two of them are Gavin and Kyle. The last guy is Phil. Um, don't call me Phil. Yes. Yes. Um, Phil did not go to my school though. >> But he is friends with Gavin. >> I went to Philip. >> And um, >> is that where you go, Dr. Phillips? >> That's right. >> And you're I heard you're 18. Okay. >> But um, >> yeah. Take your time. Take your time. >> Those markdowns are from Gavin and Kyle. Um, infill I guess coming into Target asking for a discount. >> Do you remember what types of items that you marked down? >> Uh, yes. Legos mainly. Um, video game accessories, um, some video games, like actual games. car. >> Although police already knew everything about the incident, they continued asking questions to see whether the man would admit to anything further. >> How many times How many times you discounted that you think you discounted Kevin and Galvin? >> I know Target is saying three, but it was those three or you think it was more than three? >> Five more than three. >> More than three. >> More than three. >> Uh do you have any idea? 5 10 15 >> not 15 maybe like between five and 10. >> Between five and 10. And then uh you had a mention to me earlier that uh besides uh Kevin and Galvin u you also discounted some other transactions for other friends. >> Yes. Like once or twice. >> Okay. Was the same thing. They came up to you and said, "Hey, Sebastian, we're good friends. Can you give me a discount?" Or you just immediately like, "I I got you." >> They came up to me as >> um who are this other uh >> friends from school. >> Just friends from school. um total between the transactions uh with Kevin and Galvin plus the other uh couple that you discounted. How much money you think you discounted? >> I said to them like 2,000 >> 2,000 really? >> But I I >> Right. No, fair enough. It is what it is. Thus, everything was sufficient to conclude the crime the suspect had committed, and police proceeded with their actions. >> All right, sir. Uh, has to turn around for me real quick. All right. Trans. Thank you. >> You guys, you guys need anything else from us? Um, are you guys going to look into the remaining amount or in this case just close on your end? >> Um, >> probably just close on our end cuz everything but um within uh like footage. >> Okay. >> Yeah, it's probably outside of the time frame link. So, make sure you bring >> Do we have a back door >> so we don't have to walk him? >> Yeah, I'll walk. I got >> Okay. You uh you want to hold them for a minute and I'll go grab >> not to walk in front of all your coworkers. >> Okay, I'll take my car right here. >> No. Yeah, they should we should exit by the side door where your car is. >> Might as well be on the other side. So, if you want to stay with him, I'll grab my car. >> In the end, he was charged with petty theft. A single wrong choice made for the sake [music] of friendship could cost an entire future, proving that misplaced loyalty often led to irreversible consequences. On the next case, let's meet the electric duo. >> Get to the ground. Get to the ground. Behind your back. Get down. >> On September 27th, 2023, police received a report about a couple shoplifting at a mall before fleeing to the parking lot. When officers found the woman hiding in the bushes, she feigned innocence with a shocking display of fake naivity upon facing them. What's going on? Nothing. 102 or something female. Scared. >> Scared of what? What's your name? What's your name? >> I don't have a name. >> You don't have a name? What's going on? Hey, excuse me. Stand by. >> Don't touch me. >> What's going on? >> Nothing. >> Did you see somebody?

I'm not telling you what to do in >> Hey, what are these calls? >> Um, >> the woman tried to maintain a strained composure, persistently refusing to cooperate even though she knew the police were fully aware of the situation, which only escalated matters further. Um, >> she's not cooperating. >> Get with Shane and ask don't get with Shane and uh ask him just verify that she was with him. >> You got his number. >> Hey, ma'am. Excuse me. You're detained. pump.

[screaming] >> I'm literally on my smell. Her decision to resist only made things harder for herself. Yet, the woman remained oblivious, [music] allowing the situation to spiral further. >> No, you're going to jail for resisting. >> I don't have an ID. >> What's your name? >> I'm not telling you. >> Okay. >> Almost there. >> Stay there. Stay there if you don't want to. >> There's a male. >> [screaming] >> Meanwhile, the other officers continued searching for the male suspect. And the moment they spotted him, a tense pursuit immediately unfolded. >> Hey, he's right here. Yo, he's right here. >> Male is right here. I got visual. >> He's going that way. He's going that way. He's going that way. Come here. Come on, >> baby. Mel is in the parking lot looking like he's about to flee northbound. >> We need somebody. He got black male, Miami Heat shirt, blue jeans.

Get his hand on the back. Give me other hand. >> Hey, let them know we got one detained. >> We got to make copy. Hey, I told you to stop, right, buddy? Apprehending the man took longer, but he admitted his involvement far more readily than the woman. Even taking full responsibility for the wrongdoing. >> I'm so sorry. >> Your vitals are okay. >> I got to do something. Shit's off right. >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm scared. Come here, man. I'm going to sit you. I'm going to sit you. Hey, you know how you avoid all these problems? >> Don't do it. I should listen to her. That's my fault. She told me not to.

I know it's off. >> I don't like his history. >> Who? >> Me? >> Him? >> I say, "Give me a chance." No, >> not you. Him. >> I just lost a kid. >> The man showed no remorse for his actions. Even when the police mentioned his fleeing, he seemed almost proud of his speed. >> He runs a 4240, bro. >> I'm a state champion. >> I'm a state champion. 2014 pound 132. >> That's a long time ago. yourself. >> I want to see. >> Huh? >> I want to see. >> Don't worry about that. >> 30. >> Okay. >> I'll leave. >> Go get you. >> What's up, racing? >> Hey, is this the stolen? >> Yes, sir.

Disgusting. >> So, he had this just chain and when the chain was broken, >> he may had a little emblem on there that >> What's her name, dude? >> What's your girlfriend name? >> What? >> In reality, the man showed no concern for the crime he committed, dragging his girlfriend along in the theft while worrying more about his own romantic feelings. >> I secure her heart, though.

ON AUGUST 27TH, 2025, police responded to a report from Target regarding a female suspect who clearly engaged in shoplifting during her shopping trip. At the scene, before approaching the suspect, officers reviewed surveillance footage with store staff and waited for the right moment to act. Where she goes, she just concealed the mother thing. >> 10 for She's walking towards the eggs right now. It's going to be a black female dreads, blue top, blue jeans, and tan shoes.

How? >> You just walked out [screaming] of the store. >> I DIDN'T I DROPPED THE STUFF. >> I WATCHED YOU ON CAMERA. >> I DROPPED the stuff. They were clearly nothing more than irrational excuses, venting anger at the officer's actions. Everything would have gone far more smoothly if she had simply done what the police instructed. >> Have the stuff, though. >> You didn't even say nicely like, "Oh, I'm sorry you got me." You just threw it on the ground and tried to walk away. You could have been like, "All right, I'm sorry, officer." Again, listen, you're underestal. >> Okay. Anything in your pockets? >> Okay.

This is not >> Everything seemed to become unnecessarily difficult. I don't care, she said. But in reality, she cared deeply and was visibly upset by everything that was happening. >> I'm going to grab I need to grab everything. I don't know if you guys want to transfer her now or just >> We got her. So, >> she's not going anywhere now. So, >> why the are you dragging me like what the >> police? She appeared calmer once inside the patrol car, but upon arriving at the police station, everything reverted to square one. Her resistance resurfaced, even more intense than before. >> You going to be cool? You mind stepping on out? >> 135 headquarters. >> Ma'am, you mind stepping on out? >> Ma'am, I don't want to pull you out of this car. Do you mind just stepping out? >> I'll be clear.

But the thing is you started walking away from our officers. >> I WAS NOT WALKING AWAY. I DROPPED THE STUFF. >> Have a seat, ma'am. Please. >> I don't want to sit down. Well, it's it Listen, this is going to go either really smoothly and get you out of here as fast as we can, or you're going to be difficult and it's going to make it 10 times longer. So, can you just have a seat, please? Please. I'm asking nicely. I've said please probably like three times so far. >> It was clear that the officers continued to treat the suspect with as much respect as possible. Yet, that restraint seemed to make her believe she held the upper hand, leading her to act as if she had the right to be difficult. Have a seat, please. Please sit down. Don't square up with them. That's That's a battle you're not going to win. Have a seat, please. >> Have a seat. Have a seat. Sit down. >> Why are you going to make this difficult? >> You're caught. >> Stop playing the games. You're caught.

So, just >> please cooperate us and we'll get you out of here as fast as possible. >> The way you act is going to depict this whole thing. >> Okay. >> I'm being nothing will play to you and you're making it 10 times more difficult. >> Is that how you want this to go? >> Just sit her down. >> It is what you're making. We're trying to >> sit down. trying to be quiet. >> Listen, just stop. It's done. It's over with you. >> I'm trying to be nothing but play with you. >> Cuff her to the back. >> You got a cupcake? >> Yeah. I'm covered. >> No. Cuff her first. >> No, I'm taking >> Cuff her first. And if she's going to keep her hands behind her back, so be it. >> Move her down. >> She doesn't want to listen. >> Just Just stop. It's over. All right. Just stop. The woman acted as if this were some childish game of emotional defiance. Silence can sometimes signal cooperation, but not here. There was no shame, no remorse, and no acknowledgement of her actions whatsoever. >> Cooperate with us. If we take the handcuffs off you, you're not going to start flailing around or trying to hit us. Okay. This is trust me between me and you right now. Okay. Let's make this work. Turn around for me a little bit. the other hand around. Do you want to sit or you want to stand? Okay. Like I said, whatever happened out there happened out there. Let's try to turn that around and go in the right direction. Let me ask you, are you 18 years old? Yes. Okay. So, I give you a second. >> Water. >> I'm not I'm not going to ask you why you did what you did. Whatever you did, it happened. Okay? That's in the past. Whatever happened out there happened out there. Okay? So, let's reset while we're inside. Once the woman was in the best possible condition, police still failed to obtain any further statement from her. With no cooperation at all, they were forced to make decisions based solely on what they had already established. >> You'll probably just get the two charges for shoplifting depending on what the degree. How much was it? >> 480. >> So, this was just go grab something real quick. We're trying. >> So, you've never been arrested before. >> It's a shoplifting >> and you have a resisting charge that you're going to get as well. >> We'll see if we can get you out of here on a summon and and we're done. Okay. For today, you're going to not have to come to court. Actually, it'll be uh sent out to the superior court in Freehold. This is indictable crime. It's an indictable amount that $400 something dollars. Okay. So, you're going to get correspondence from Freehold. The Superior Court has go out to them.

[snorts] >> She was charged with shoplifting, resisting arrest, and obstruction for providing information. Defiance and silence only made a minor mistake spiral into serious charges. Cooperation could have ended the situation quickly, but pride and resistance turned it into a lasting legal consequence. Next, these women even turned Walmart into a chaotic scene right in front of their own children. >> I'm right here. I'm right here. THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE ME NOAH. I'm right here. >> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. >> No. Y'all got to give me my kid. Y'all can't do that. >> THAT'S ALL RIGHT. ON MAY 30TH, 2023, police received a report from Walmart about two women shoplifting in the store.

Please come get Noah. >> Her excuses shifted from these items were just here to I already paid for them, blatantly revealing her deception. Her actions at that moment exposed her family who were present to a scene they should never have witnessed. >> Come to THE BATHROOM, BRO. STOP. WHY you Stop, bro. off. >> Stop. >> Stand up. >> Stop. >> Stand up. >> Hey, stand up. >> Stand up. >> Stand up. Stand up. You're making things worse. >> Okay. Wait.

At that moment, another officer approached the second suspect from a distance, positioning each suspect on opposite sides, turning the entire corner of the store into a chaotic scene. >> I'm right here. I'm right here. THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE ME NOAH. I'm right here. >> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. >> No, y'all got to give me my kid. Y'all can't do that. >> Listen. >> Listen.

While their physical resistance had lessened, the tension in their voices remained, and they even continued dragging family members into their excuses. >> Have a seat. >> Please have a seat. >> No, I need my child. Have a seat. >> You're resisting. >> I'm not resisting. How is this? I'm not fighting. >> I don't want to sit. >> Sit down. >> Sit down. >> Do I have to? >> Yes, you have to. >> Like, you guys got me in handcuffs for no reason right now.

NO, I DIDN'T. >> YOU'RE JUST MAKING THIS LONGER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE. >> GET ME OUT these handcuffs, bro. >> Even after overusing the excuse of concern for her children, the woman immediately shifted to other justifications, portraying herself as the victim in the situation >> so that we can move forward with the process. >> I'm not going all the way in this car. I have very bad No, I can't. I'm going to end up in the hospital. I already feel like I'm about to have an anxiety attack. You guys are going to have to call an an ambulance, bro.

That's why he were here. That's exactly why you were here. >> Oh, we are. >> Yeah. >> So, you have knowledge of this. Clearly, you guys just pulled her out of a bathroom, so clearly she was stealing. >> Suspiciously, how did she know her relative had gone in with the stolen items when she hadn't even entered yet? All of this only further exposed her deceit. Back with the person inside the restroom, the officer had to remain cautious. >> I'm wearing my glass on right now. >> Don't worry about all that, okay? >> Listen, here's what's going to happen. What's going to end up happening he goes with DCF? You don't cooperate. >> DCF? >> Yeah. So, I would suggest that you cooperate.

Why did you take the items into the bathroom? >> I originally wanted her to go pee and check my son. >> Okay. >> So, do you realize you cannot take items in in the bathroom? >> I didn't know that. >> I've done that before. I've gone to the bathroom with my purchase. Shortly after, the woman was also escorted to the police vehicle. She still appeared anxious, but it was clear that her worry was entirely of her own making. >> Who was going to come get my child? >> No. The host DCF going to come get my y'all just told me his grandma's I need to call his grandma to come get him.

So, we're going to take you out to the hospital, get your information, release you. >> That's fine. >> Some remorse had begun to surface, but not for her actions, only for her perceived fate. A sentiment mirrored by the other suspect. I thought it wasn't the best thing for me to do. [laughter] >> Listen. Listen, bro. What the [ __ ] >> The good thing is the >> Adora. The good thing everything is it's a misdemeanor. Okay. Is this your first time? Is it >> Okay. The judge is going the judge is going to take that in consideration. Okay.

Evade responsibility, make excuses, especially by involving children. Only escalate consequences remaining calm as deception and defiance can turn minor mistakes into serious legal trouble. Next, the lesbian couple ran, lied, and tried to disappear. What ending did it lead to? >> Oh, I'm going out. They're in front of >> Hi, how are you? >> Hold on, man. >> Put that down. >> On August 25th, 2023, police received a call from Target reporting two women involved in theft who tried to flee the scene. Upon arrival, officers swiftly confronted one suspect, sparking immediate chaos. Stop. Down here. Do it down there. >> Stop. >> I swear to God. Go down there. >> Stop.

But she kept going. But you were looking for me. You're looking for her. Okay. >> For real. >> Oh, you can't run regardless. >> I understand. I wasn't sure. I was >> At this point in the patrol car, she realized it was impossible to change the truth with the police. And that's when she confessed. >> If you're lying to us that there's a receipt on here, it's not going to do you any good either way. It It's over at this point. So, do you really have a receipt on here or do you not have a receipt on here? >> I have a receipt for for part of them and not all of them. I'll be honest with you. >> All right. All right. So, there is certain things that you paid for and certain things that you did. Yes, sir. All right. >> All right. Do you want Do you want to pull that up? You don't have to show us.

That's >> it'll just speed things along if if you want to show us. But it's totally your decision. We're not going to go in your phone unless you give us consent. >> Okay. Well, I can show you what wasn't and what was if you want. >> No, that's all right. >> Okay. >> We'll hold off.

It's not the end of the world. >> All right. We'll just She doesn't have ID on her either. That's the only thing. >> I'm sure we'll find out. >> Yeah. Yeah. Looking back, her actions were executed with swift, deliberate calculation, suggesting this was likely not her first time. Police quickly raised the same suspicion. Have >> you ever been arrested for shoplifting? >> Um, a while ago, like 10 years ago. Um, I had I went and filled out paperwork for public defender yesterday. >> You went to what? I went to Neptune and filled out paperwork for a public defender yesterday for something for a charge I didn't get I didn't get arrested for. Um I'm waiting to see the judge for that. I had to I have court for that in December. Um yeah, but that's from I didn't get arrested for it. I saw the judge via Zoom last week and she said you have until Thursday to file paper for a public defender and then we go from there. And I went and did that yesterday. But I haven't been charged with anything like it yet. But like I said, I didn't even get arrested for anything. I haven't shoplifted in they said they had me on camera doing something, but I didn't actually get like like an officer didn't come and pick me up is what I'm trying to tell you. Since 2013. Meanwhile, by the store, an officer arrived in time to verify the report and locate the second suspect with the entire process clearly captured on surveillance cameras. >> Hello. >> Hey, how are you? >> Good. So, we got the one of the two. We got the one that had the black bag. >> So, she has merchandise in here. So, she wasn't being 100% truthful with us, but she said some of that is hers that she had a receipt, but doesn't have She said it's on her phone, but she doesn't have it with her. Is there a way you guys can tell? >> She's saying she bought a few things and stole the rest, so I know for sure what was taken. >> I mean, she never goes to register, but I'll be able to find that stuff. I can run it and find no transaction by her. >> Yeah. Yeah. She didn't even go to a register today. All right. Then she stole it off. Yeah. I mean, if she didn't even go to a register go to court and figure it out. >> Did this one steal anything? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Not sure who we were like physically watching today. >> Okay. >> Really? >> Yeah. She was the one we saw like this is going to be her. >> Let me I'm just going to put a quick description out on her. Is that Is that a female? Is that like a female? I believe >> female short hair. >> Yeah. >> They're the two that ride the bikes down the highway and they go into Asbury and then they come back. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. >> Right now it looks like uh The other subject's going to be a short white female with short hair, white t-shirt, and a backpack. Possibly stole some undershirts. She sucks it all, brings the card around, backpacks off. Everything was in. >> Well, this is what we're watching in real time. >> Yeah. The items were then recovered and returned by police. Though they appeared simple, their combined value was far from small. >> You still need the total for the person with the backpack. >> Yeah, >> that's her total. >> And then I got you a case number, too. >> I got I got it for you. >> Okay. Thank you. Don't worry. Here you go. Thank you. >> I thought I had Thank you. The stuff that she didn't pay for was her her three lighters, >> a box knife, and like a >> That's like her stuff. >> That's her That's Yeah. So, she's clearly uh >> I don't think she used that knife to cut anything. >> No. Nope. Nope. Nope. I think it just at the bottom of this ready. Okay. Um, let's go for this. Um, That's just one as well. That's four. >> This is going to be what the other one took. >> Oh, way off. >> Yeah. >> One pairs were 26 bucks. So, it comes to like $144.95. >> Sounds. Shortly after, police approached a house based on the suspect description, hoping to locate the second woman. But when the door opened, the person inside was not who they were looking for. >> Yes. >> Hello. How are you? >> Good. >> Is Catherine around? >> Who's Catherine? >> Catherine? White girl with short hair? >> Not that I know of. >> Not that you know of? >> Not that I know. >> Is anyone else in there with you? >> No, not that I know of. I just got in here. I was next door.

Uh, we're just trying to end it right now. Otherwise, we got to put a warrant out for her. She going to go right to the county jail. It's a little thing. If she's here, boom, boom, boom. Summoned on her way. But we don't find her today. She got warrant. She goes right to jail. So, you can >> All right. Okay. Okay. I just We just got to leave this a little bit. You can You can close her right there. >> It was clear something was being hidden in the woman's statement. Even her request for time to close the door was clearly meant to speak with someone inside. The truth came to light shortly after. >> What does she do? What does she do? >> I mean, if she's not like family, we can't really say, but I can tell you for sure that it's a it's a minor thing. Disorderly person's thing. Not the end of the world. I think she knows >> how to put that down. Thank you for coming out. We appreciate you down. Make sure you didn't do anything. >> Okay. >> Just a minor thing at Target. I think you know what it's about. Do you have any drugs or anything on you that's going to hurt me? Both me? >> Nothing.

Over here. >> Back in the by the Oh, over there by the dealership. >> By the dealership. If I drove you over there, could you show me where you threw it? >> I mean, kind of. I threw everything. Like, I threw it loose. >> Yeah. Okay. I didn't want to be caught with it. >> Just put your hands together like you're praying. >> You have any warrants, Catherine? Nope. >> You got any warrants? >> I don't know if I've never met you before. I've been arrested before or not. It's a shoplifting thing. It's not the end of the world. Get you out in a summon and go to court. All right. >> All right. I got your >> appreciate your cooperation. Good luck to you. All right. >> Both of them were charged with shoplifting. Meanwhile, the first woman was also charged with resisting arrest. Trying to outrun the truth only made the consequences worse. Panic, lies, and flight turned a simple theft into serious charges.
