Yes, sir. >> All right. Well, I'm going to get these fine. Okay. >> Should I be concerned about any violence with her? >> At that point, another team of officers had arrived at the store to gather additional statements from employees about what had happened. In fact, one more suspect was still at large. beyond the two who had been caught >> from the front table. We just don't know. They filled up two baskets and a tote. It was a tall, skinny black guy, right? Did he have a tote? >> So, when I was already in the car, when I came out, he was driving and the two ladies were the ones that were hustling for the car. >> Yep. Yep. So, it was the three of them. Um, yeah, the guy was driving, he's the one that took all the ceilings. They were just kind of walking around the store. >> Okay. So, they did come in and out. >> Yeah. >> They did it multi how many times? >> So, I only saw them today once. one time, two baskets. That was all I saw today.

So I'm I'm not really focused on what she had. The one girl, Amanda, she dropped this like just like that. And I was like, "Oh, okay." And I I don't know from there if the other lady cuz I look back. So I don't know if the other lady choked something in the car. So chances are there's a lot in the car. Maybe from this store, maybe from other stores. >> Oh, yeah. They they they make their round. >> We're impounding it, so it'll go to our lot. >> In the end, the man and the two women were charged with grand theft, possession of anti-shoplifting devices, and resisting law enforcement officers, but remained innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

What are y'all doing? >> Right. >> What are y'all? >> I didn't do nothing. >> On September 15th, 2025, police intercepted a group of women suspected of shoplifting.

All right. >> What do you mean? >> The police proceeded to detain the suspect after she scanned items, but walked out with no receipt. And the trouble didn't end there. One of the two girls then gave false information about her identity. >> The other thing you're going to get hit with is obstruction if you don't tell us your actual name. >> I'm telling you my DNA. >> Who exists? >> I'm in the system. So, have fun with me. Because you're not giving the right name. >> I am is the answer. >> So now you have a middle name. I heard you tell her twice you don't have a middle name. >> Actually more than twice. >> More than twice. So that's called lying and obstructing. You understand? >> This the middleman. >> Why should I believe that? >> When you decide to tell the truth >> when you That's fine. We're going to fingerprint you and we'll get your info off of that. If you're already in the She wasn't the one that charging her. >> I don't know how to if I'm telling y name my y'all can't pull my name up. >> You told her three times. You don't have the angel right. She'll automatically get beat up. >> Okay. But it can't be pulled up when you lie and you don't provide all anything. I gave you the name of my data birth. >> Look at my eyeballs. >> You said I don't have a middle name. >> Now you're lying again right here looking at us. ridiculous. >> At this point, both were separated for individual questioning, and the woman's deceit unfolded as she claimed she had handed all the merchandise to a relative to let them escape. >> Okay. So, what what exactly is in the store? Okay. In the store. >> Okay. And let me see what I got. >> Who's on the person? >> She in the stone. >> She in the store. What is she look like? She's got orange hair. >> Orange hair. What is What else is she wearing? >> She's got on the blue jacket suit. Blue. What? >> Gap. You say blue gap. G A P. >> Yep. Is it like dark blue or is it like Okay. What about like Sure. What does she wear? >> No, she got horizontal. >> Oh, hold on. I'm sorry. Hold on. She was going to get Okay, gotcha. And so what what was your role in this then? I guess because how did you get involved in this? >> I guess under still was >> Okay. But did you ever touch anything or did you ever take anything? >> I gave it to them. >> You gave it to them? >> Okay. Did he walk out with anything? No, he walked out with something like the one right there and the other ones. I'll never see that guy yet. She was telling she so she said, "Okay, I'm just going to be honest with you." So, I'm just driving. I did give them some merchandise, but they're they're the ones that took the stuff. Um, it's her along with the other. She's like chair. Yeah, she's she's wearing like a a blue. >> Okay. It's okay. 95 for two. >> Yeah, they're all >> 95. Okay. >> To make matters worse, one of them had her children with her during the incident. >> Is that your kid? Both of them. There's another one. Oh, wow. There's another one. Okay, I'll let the other officer know in a bit. Um, do you know your friend's name? >> Which one? >> The one that's lying to me. >> Asia. >> Dasia. Okay. Do you know her last name? >> Okay. show middle. I don't know. Maybe I know you. Okay. Do you know her birthday? >> I think Okay, gotcha. All right.

Don't cry. It's okay. >> Turning back to the other woman, even as time passed, she still failed to grasp the seriousness of the situation, continuing to lie about her own name. >> Because you can't lie about who you are when you're being right. Let me let me read it. >> Yes. Have you ever lived in Tennessee? >> No. >> No. Only Chicago. I know we get a lot of people from all over. >> Feel more negative about Tennessee. >> Just got out of town in July. >> That's a middle name. >> M. Middle. >> Oh. Is that it? >> No. >> Well, I think >> we'll have both kids with us. They're not going to leave our side. You have to make smarter decisions, right? >> I mean, think about it. Do you think I showed up like we all just showed up on your stop just cuz she wasn't in the car seat? >> I know. >> Is this one else phones? >> That's my baby play phone. >> Okay. Did y'all see the other girl? >> Yeah. >> Here you go. Just take it all the way out. >> Oh, you can't. >> Both [snorts] women were charged with retail theft. The key lesson here, trying to lie or shift blame during a crime only deepens trouble, and involving children in such acts puts [music] everyone at greater risk. Even being candid, these thieves believed they were merely toying with the law. >> Turn is your car off? >> Let me get both your license. You guys are both possibly IDed for a retail pack. >> Yes, this is actually not from our store. This looks like from Target. >> I think this is bad. >> On September 11th, 2025, police received a report from Ross after a theft had occurred and the suspects fled immediately. The moment they were pulled over, the suspects had no idea what was coming, only for their smug smiles to vanish instantly. >> How's it going today? Turn. Is your car off? >> Let me get both your license. You guys are both possibly IDed for retail fact. >> I'm just going to be straight up, man. Give me Give me the items back. Okay. Give me your ID first. I want your ID, too. Is there anything else in the car? Any weapons, drugs, anything like that? Nothing. >> Do you have a valid driver's license? >> No. I supposed to take my post getting stuff situated. >> Okay. So, do is it suspended revoked? >> Yeah, it's unsuspended. >> Can you just put your bag back there, please? All right, sir. Step out of the vehicle for me. >> Let's go behind you. Go. I don't want us in the the road. Put your hands behind your back. You're being detained right now. Okay. Uh, >> you could leave it right here. We don't want you accessing it right now. We're doing a investigation. So, if you if you like it in your pocket, it's not going to be accessed. Okay, that's fine. >> They had no awareness of wrongdoing while driving on a suspended license and treated the theft as if it were a game, readily admitting to stealing. And the stolen goods included toiletries, clothing, and perfumes. You take it in there and seize the car. >> Yeah, we can seize the car. >> Okay. >> All right. I'll be right back. >> Shannon, too. If they if they damaged anything cuz you guys went through that new felony. So, it at this point if they damaged stuff with the magnets, anything over 500 CDP is felony. And then especially for >> they don't want to sign anything >> that and if there's any like theft detection devices we can know. >> I asked them >> how' they get they just threw it in the bag and left. >> So did you pay for anything? How many bags did you take? >> How many bags it? >> So there's multiple bags in there. >> No, I bet it has been in the car. But I'm talking about we just went to Ross. >> What's which bag did you use? >> The Ross bag that was in the back seat. That Ross bag. There's two bags full. >> I know. But the other one been in the cartoon as well. That's bad. The bite was I've been here. But the dove, you see six um dub like right there. >> The dove, that's everything that you guys stole today. >> Up out of there. Yeah. >> Okay. >> But I've been here the rest of that stuff in the trunk. But what we just hid in the back seat, that's what we just got. >> And you have a suspended deal, right? >> Their overconfidence and willingness to admit guilt came from thinking they would only face a citation. But officers discovered a theft tool during the vehicle search, escalating the situation far beyond what they expected. >> Uh, we're doing things a little bit differently now, man. You're going back to the station. Whose car is that? >> Is your car you the owner of it? >> Okay, it's getting towed, just so you know. >> Yeah, this is all stolen. >> Oh, this is from Who knows if this is from there. >> Yeah, but I mean like we we could seize this all as evidence. I mean like right like it's and these are all >> this is Ross 31. I have another bag from the trunk. >> Just put your seat belt on. >> All right. I checked our stuff. We only have one from Tommy Hill yesterday. They don't match the description for that one. And then 2011 for the remainder of the night. What's wrong? >> I was trying to lift my pants. >> All right, I'll take these cuffs off and you're just going to have a seat right here. Okay. Okay. >> I know. Almost. There you go. There you go. >> I'm going to have a positive idea on the subject from Bath and Body Works. >> Have him take his off too. At this point, an officer went to the store to return the stolen items and verify what had happened. Confirming that the actual value of the goods was far from trivial. Thought >> they used a they used a magnet device. Like we have them right now in handcuffs detained. I'm just going to call one of my guys to let them know that they you utilized a magnet. >> Yeah. Let me call >> cuz they told us they didn't. And it helps that >> they had one cuz I can show you in the camera too if you want to see. >> Yeah, I'd love to. Yeah. Um, is there anything else in here? >> I don't think so. >> It's your bag. >> No, that's from came with that. >> All right. Tell me exactly what happened. So, cuz I'm taking the report. >> Um, well, I was waiting for my closing cashier and I was take I was about to take my meal and I saw her like come in and like the front. I was like, "Oh, let me go to the front and tell her that I'm going to take my meal and make sure like let the other cashier also know." And once I go up there, I see them walk in. They already look suspicious cuz they stared at us. >> And then they give us like a look like uh to see if no one was no one was watching. >> And I was like, "Okay." Like I don't want to think anything bad. I'm going to stay here and like see if they don't they're not going to do anything. >> Okay. >> And then that's when I see the guy going by the perfume where he grabs this one by ladies >> and then he goes and walks by ladies shoes I guess to like just walk around to see like if no one was watching. And then that's when he goes by like um by the ladies department where all the apparel is and then he goes like by the men's and then that's when he goes back again by the ladies. I think that's where he grabbed all of this by beauty and that was it. And I went by back to the office. I checked to see if he was not doing anything bad. And then that's when he took out the magnet and took out the >> That's when you saw it on the camera. >> And that's what I call it. >> It's all good. Yeah. Is this one for me? >> Yes, that's you. Or as soon as you want. >> And then it's No, no, no. You're good. And then sale. So it's >> so it's 969. >> But what is that? Before tax? >> Yes, before tax. >> The entirety of the stolen goods pointed to illegal resale as the motive. And notably, their audacious behavior was evident through the staff's detailed account. As I was walking toward the fragrances, the young lady like she made eye contact with me, but she looked really like suspicious. >> Okay. >> So, I was like, [music] "Okay." Didn't think anything of it, but I don't know if she knew that I worked here cuz I had my work bag. >> So, as I'm going through the frag I'm going past the jewelry counter over by the men's fragrances, she's in between the the fragrances between the men's side and the women's side. [snorts] Okay. And she hand her uh the guy uh a container. >> Okay. >> And he put it in the bag. >> Got it. >> I was like, "Oh, okay." So, didn't think anything of it, but I ran to the back and I was at that time I was looking for uh Noelli or uh Amelio to let them know. I was like, "Hey, check the cameras." But at that by the time I got back there, she had already witnessed it. >> Got it. So, dwelling. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, I was like, "Oh, okay." Hey, she's like, "Yeah, I'm going to call the cops." I was like, "Yeah, call the cops." But >> okay, >> they they don't care. And so that was it. >> Okay. >> Both of the suspects were charged with retail theft, possession of theft tools, and contributing to the criminal scheme. Treating theft like a game, and underestimating law enforcement only escalates consequences, turning what seemed like a minor offense into serious. Even worse, the parents had used their own family members as a mobile treasure stash. >> Put your hands on top of your head. >> I help my children. >> Okay. Put your hand on the top of your head. >> I stopped. >> Oh, lookucky there. >> On August 25th, 2025, police were dispatched to a jewelry store after a theft was reported. According to reports, the suspects were a professional family who had stolen items right in front of the staff without being noticed until the next day's inventory. Police intercepted the vehicle based on the store's description. And here's what happened next. >> Driver, step out with your hands up. going on. >> Hands up on top of your head. Put your hands on top of your head. Turn around. Face away from me. Start walking back towards the sound of my voice. Let me get some hands over here. Stop.

My my kids are scared. Please not with the guns, please. >> It's okay. Everything's fine. What's your name? >> Nastasia. >> That a long time. What is it? >> Nastasia. >> Nastasia. Okay. >> We'll explain to everything that's going on. Okay. Once they clear it, we'll get the kids and then we'll bring them to you. Okay. >> At that moment, another team was also at the store to investigate what had happened, confirming that the value of the items taken was far from insignificant. >> We think it's a Figuro chain, but it should still have our tag on it. >> How much is the chain? >> We haven't figured it out yet, but we're Trying to figure out which one. >> 2 to 30,000. 2 to 3,000 is what I'm guessing. >> How long have you been here? >> Where were you yesterday? >> Yesterday. >> Where were you? >> Is that your husband? >> No. >> He's got a warrant. >> Do you have any warrants? >> There it is. He balls it up right in his hand. It's in his hand. >> Now he's got one only in his hand. >> And he continues to look at jewelry and then he switches hands and then puts it into his pocket. >> It was He was looking at 18 in. >> Uhhuh. And he was looking mainly at He had >> So this is what the tags look like. They probably ripped it off though. They just glued. >> Yeah. But you might find it in the vehicle. >> Yeah. >> Um he was looking at the men's rings and I approached him and asked if there was anything specific he was looking for, if I could show him anything. and he said he was looking for a gold bracelet for his mom and his dad tomorrow. So I proceeded to show him where we have their bracelets and then he said, "No, nothing like that." And he showed me his necklace. He has one. He was like, "Something more like this." I said, "I can check in the back and see what we have that might." And that's when he came up to the counter then. And we >> needed it for today. >> He needed it for today. Well, tomorrow. But >> even more striking, the parents had brought their children along throughout the incident, completely unaware that their stuffed animals were concealing illegal items. >> Oh, it might be like a comfort pillow. >> Maybe. I don't know. Hold on. >> You can check 66. >> They actually got inside of it. >> Oh, look at there. >> 1450. >> I see. >> Oh, that's a lot of money. Oh, this is jewelry. >> It was all hidden inside. >> I've got jewelry, diamonds, thousands of dollars, several thousand. >> Just Just let us make sure of a couple things first and then we'll let you guys be back together. Okay. Just be patient for us. Oh god. What's that? >> Oh, there you go. >> And that's >> Yeah, I saw that. >> Where did that from? >> Right here. >> That's That's >> We're going to take that. >> Oh, cell phone. Back seat. Back in. As the incident unfolded, the parents professionalism in carrying out the theft became increasingly evident and the staff confirmed that they had been right there the whole time without noticing a thing. >> I didn't even see it. If I didn't see it, he was sitting right there and he didn't see it. They were professionals. >> But it's this type where it's the big circles. Link link link big circle. >> Let me see something cuz there was one I showed him for 5,000. >> His name is John. Yes. >> It might be that one. It might be that one. >> Mhm. >> Maybe 5K. >> 5K. That's what I see. Do >> you remember two to three? But hey, I'll put >> Do you remember what what the link looked like? >> It was 18. He had measure it at first, I think. I know. I measured a couple of them. >> He just wanted your eyes taken off what he was doing. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> We'll go to the scene and try to uh I mean, I'm sure he lowered her up. So, >> yeah. The $5,000 license. >> So, what's the process with the driver's license? How does that work? >> When John got it from the guy? Yeah. >> So, if our policy is if someone wants to see a Rolex, they're so expensive, we ask for their driver's license because they could take it and and run and >> it's just to cover our eyes. >> No, no, no. I'm I'm just trying to figure out is it to look at this? Is it just I >> Well, he asked to see a Rolex. >> Okay. Did he end up seeing a Rolex? >> He held on to a Rolex and showed it to him. But, >> but you never know with Rolexes. They can show. >> There's good things. >> Yeah, they're really Oh, this one the hands are broken off on it. This one's got an odd skip to it, but it feels too light to be real ones. It feels light, too. I wonder if they wear some of this stuff just to make them look >> Yeah. make it look like >> like they have money. >> Besides the Rolex found in the car, family members were wearing it along with other pieces of jewelry.

Can I uh have that necklace? >> Everything. >> Thank you. >> All of it? All right. Can I have all of the jewelry? >> Shortly after, the man in the family who had outstanding warrants was interviewed separately about the incident. Here's how he responded to what the police had discovered. >> Obviously, when we stopped you, we found a bunch of jewelry, uh, including Rolexes and stuff like that. Where did all these things come from? Cuz they're like kind of hidden, obviously. It's a little odd, wouldn't you think?

We know it's you stealing it. >> Okay. >> The mother and her children were released and allowed to go free. And the man, already facing multiple felony warrants across several states, was charged again with grand theft. The key lesson here is that involving children in criminal activity, even unknowingly, exposes them to serious legal consequences and traumatic situations. Shockly, the woman used her dress as a shopping cart for her items. Detained for what though, officer? >> For potentially shoplifting. >> For potentially, not for actually potentially. >> On September 4th, 2024, police responded to a theft report at Short Hills Mall. The suspect, described as a woman in a long dress, white top, and a baseball hat, was calmly strolling through the mall, completely unaware of the storm closing in on her. Hi ma'am. Stop right there. Hi. I'm officer delay came over in police. Just where they recording on body cam. Okay. Stand over here for me. >> Okay. >> Right over here. Okay. Um, were you shopping in any stores today? >> Yeah, I just came to the mall. >> Okay. So, I'm just going to read your rights real quick. You have your rights. >> Just listen here. >> You have your the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. Hello. >> Why is it recording? What's going on? >> Relax. Let me finish my statement. >> What's going on? >> I'm going to answer your questions after I read my statement. >> Hello. Why is I'm in the office on the >> driver stopped by Crate Barrel. >> Craton Barrel. >> I don't want to create a barrel. >> Right. Are you going to listen or you going to talk? >> So, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one could be appointed to you. Do you understand that? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> What store were you in today? >> Okay. I went into I forgot we went into before that. >> Okay. All right. >> The woman appeared utterly shaken by what was happening. She denied every suspicious question the officers threw her way, even pretending to take a phone call just to dodge the heat closing in on her. >> Hello. >> Said, "Did you take any glowing?" >> No, I did not. >> Okay. Can you just do me a favor? Hang up the phone real quick while I'm speaking with you. Do you have an ID on you? military. >> Don't I have a picture of them on my phone recently lost cuz it got expired. >> Okay. >> 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 at a store. >> I just literally got to this mall. >> So, we're looking at camera footage right now. >> Okay. >> If you didn't shoplift, you'll be on your way. That's it. >> Okay. >> Okay. 125. >> What's your current address? >> Okay. Um, so what did you take from the store? >> What do you think for what store? >> What's in your dress that you took from the store? You're on camera. >> What camera am I on my office? >> Every camera that's in the store caught you putting stuff in your dress. >> In what store? >> So, let me let me explain how this is going to go down. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Even as she kept denying every accusation, her stiff expressions and constant avoidance only made the lies shine brighter. In reality, the officers already knew everything, including exactly where she had stashed the stolen items. >> 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, I know y'all still going. Y'all going to arrest me like >> we are. So >> either either way we need the items back whether we go >> do it right here. >> Are are they tucked in there or can you just pull them out? >> Like I don't feel like I don't feel comfortable doing it right here. >> Okay. All right. >> Is there like a corner I could go into? >> Let's go in this corridor over here. Okay. I just need you to take your purse off real quick. Yes. >> And whenever you have it, you just throw on the ground. >> Okay. >> Make sure it's all of it because like I said, you're going to get searched back then. If you don't turn it over now, we're going to charge you additionally. Okay. >> Am I going to make my daughter tomorrow? >> Yes. >> Okay. Just confirm. Confirm that's everything. >> I said confirm that's everything that's on you. Make sure that's everything that's on you. Definitely nothing else in there. >> Everything became obvious. She had done it because she wanted to buy a birthday gift for her child. And the moment she got caught, she immediately used that reason to fish for sympathy. >> I can show you everything that I'm not worried about. My kids going to school tomorrow. >> Okay. >> And I can show you my daughter um birthday >> that tomorrow is really her birthday. >> Okay. So that doesn't change anything. But like I said, >> we're going to do some paperwork. >> I know. I just want to >> I'm hoping you'll be out of here in a couple hours. I'm not lying to you. >> Like I said, you gave me all the merchandise back and I'm taking your word with that. Okay. So I'm going to work with you and it's just going to be a shoplifting charge. Okay. >> So that's it. So maybe a few hours of paperwork. >> You're not going to miss her birthday, okay? Don't stress about it. But you're going to >> So what stores did you steal from? >> Victoria Secret. >> Yeah. So when you went in pink, you took stuff from there as well. >> Alo just those two stores. >> Okay. >> All right. >> All right. DJ said he's on his way. Uh, >> do you want to wait or >> No, I think he's more worried about merchandise. >> Uh, there's Victoria's Secret, too. >> All right. >> She was charged with shoplifting for stealing merchandise from multiple stores inside the mall. Even personal motives like wanting to buy a gift for a child do not justify breaking the law. Attempting to use sympathy as a shield against accountability only highlights the consequences of dishonesty. Worse, when resistance becomes the only tool to escape accountability, I just told you I was a girl, my [ __ ] I was so careful, >> bro. Get off me, cuz about that. >> Turn around. >> Turn around. >> On March 30th, 2024, police were dispatched to Walmart after a tip about a woman suspected of stealing an entire shopping cart. Upon [music] arrival, loss prevention staff briefed officers on the unfolding situation. >> So, she tried So, when I grabbed the There was two people at this store. I grabbed one of them to come in the office so I could speak to him and I'm like, "Yo, double check her receipt cuz I seen her in Subway like putting her stuff in a reusable shopping bag." >> Yeah. >> So I'm like, "Okay, whatever." So as he comes in, she tries to go around the other guy and he like puts his body and stops it. So I come out the office. I'm like, "Hey, do you have a receipt for any of the merchandise you paid for?" And she said, "Oh, I'm trying to look for it." Blah blah blah blah blah. I'm like, "Okay, so we're waiting. We're waiting." I ask her again. She starts getting hostile. And then I'm like, "So, did you pay for your stuff or not?" And she goes, "Would you like me to pay for my stuff?" I'm like, "At this moment, no, I don't." So, I took her cart and she said, "I'm going to grab another cart and I'm going to shop again." I'm like, "Okay, that's that's fine." So, I I started watching her. She's frozen. So, I started watching her and um she started selecting the similar merchandise that was in the cart and she goes up to my door host and shows cuz some people have the receipt on the phone. So, they just show the phone like that >> and so that's what she did and she just kept walking out >> and there was nothing on the phone. >> There's nothing on the phone. >> Based on what the staff said, this was entirely a theft planned in advance. At this moment, the woman fully believed she had succeeded and was still waiting outside. Good. Um, so the loss prevention just called us. They said that you uh didn't pay for all your items. >> Do you have your receipt? >> Bro, I just showed him my receipt on my phone and my phone died. >> You just showed him the receipt on your phone? >> Yes. I just showed that >> and he let me out and my phone died. I said I paid for my receipt. I showed him the day. It's a mo It's a mobile uh Walmart thing. I showed him the day and I showed him my receipt. He said, "Okay, you can go." >> Okay, listen. We have my hand is literally right there. I'm not >> You still have your receipt on our phone. Okay. Can you bring it up? >> MY PHONE DIED. I LITERALLY JUST SHOWED HIM. I SHOWED him my phone's on 2% in all. Like I just >> Here's the deal. So right now he's just the LPO is saying that there were some items that are possibly unpaid for. So we're just going to double check with the cameras. >> At this point, y'all can just keep this. >> I'm not to do this. >> You paid for it, right? So it's yours. >> Yes, I did. But >> we just have to confirm because listen, we listen. We have a call saying there items I'm paid for. Okay. >> Okay. BUT IF IF I PAID ONLINE, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO TO the to the cashier and all that? >> You're not letting me talk. There is a very good camera system here. >> Like I'm confused. >> All right. >> Yeah. In the meantime, do you have an ID on it? >> NO, BUT WHAT YOU'RE YOU'RE YOU saying it's a camera and stuff, right? >> So, they're just going to go check it. >> Okay. But listen, my my stuff is on the phone. >> Okay. The woman became completely tense at every word from the police and she refused to let cooperation happen easily as if simply going back inside would reveal everything. >> So, how are you supposed to know if I How do you know if I was supposed to? >> They probably have the receipt. Don't have the receipt of your check out. Okay. They're going to pretty much backtrack you through the store, make sure everything >> at this point say, I'm not about to keep doing >> Did you pay for it? >> Yes, I did. At this point, y'all can keep this, BRO. LIKE, I'M NOT ABOUT TO keep doing this, my [ __ ] Like, >> listen. I'm trying to help you out here, but we got a call. >> Okay. So, why didn't y'all Why didn't y'all stop? Anybody else? Y'all just stopped. >> Cuz we got a call. >> Okay. >> I imagine. What's the description? >> A black jacket with a lime green hood. And you're the only one here with that. >> Okay. All right. So, just hang tight. You want to go get the LPO? >> I'm not about to hang tight. I'm about to leave. >> You're not free to go. >> You're not leaving. >> Don't touch. >> You're not leaving. >> You're not leaving. You want to be placed under arrest? >> Can you be placed under arrest? >> Why you touch me though? >> Stand here or else you be placed under arrest? >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. You're under arrest. You're under arrest. You're under arrest. You're under arrest. >> I'm a I hope you know that. So, can you just up? Thank you. >> You get off me. What are you talking about? >> What my [ __ ] Bro, that was I just told you I was a girl, my [ __ ] I was so careful, >> bro. Get off me, cuz. >> Every action clearly showed she was trying to evade something, and it did nothing to prove her transparency as she grew increasingly frantic and defiant. >> Turn around. >> No. Stop. Make it easy on yourself. >> No. The you talking about I match your description and all this [ __ ] Get off me because yo, stop kicking. No kick. Stop kicking. I just >> That's fine. That's fine. We'll stay here. We'll stay here all day. >> Stop resisting. >> I can't breathe. >> Bro, I'm about to call mama cuz y'all [ __ ] wild. >> You're not going anywhere. >> My officer the officer, >> bro. Get off me, folks. >> Turn around. Make it easy. >> No, >> you're not going to make it easy. >> I'm about to spitting it back. >> You're going to get another charge. >> Oh, I can't feel my arm. >> Turn around. >> Get off me. PUT YOUR HANDS. >> Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. >> I can't breathe. My >> best you can. You're talking. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. >> What the is your knee and my seat for? >> Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. How y'all [ __ ] >> After the chaos at the shopping center entrance, she admitted to her actions, but her acknowledgement seemed completely insincere. >> What I do >> exactly? You don't know what the you even talking about, talking about my bad. My bad. Hey yo, can you stop yokking me up? >> No. Can you stop moving around? >> No. Stop me up. >> The I'm a human being. The thing I'm ain't acting like you said stop. >> If I spit in your face, I'm going act like it, right? >> Oh, hi. 197 >> 197 >> Yeah. >> Got a booger on me from here. >> Yeah. >> You available for searching for >> Oh, now y'all want somebody to search me, huh? >> Yeah.

So why you think I was kicking you? You >> You just said I was kicking you, right? >> The woman completely lost control of her words. Even once inside the patrol car, she didn't stop. As if she had already outsmarted the police during her arrest. >> I was just accused, huh? >> Yeah. >> You two fish said. >> Listen to what you just said. >> What you say? Remember what you just said. >> 236 transporting one adult female in custody from Walmart to headquarters. Starting mileage 91206. >> Look what you just said. You just said yes. You sound like a dick ride. I hope you really know that. Just said yes. You was the only person over here. So it got to be you. God was the only person on this earth. So he So he just put this on here. >> What? Are you just making stuff up right now? I don't really understand what you're saying. You asked if that was the report. That wasn't a report. That is what the dispatch notified us of. >> It said I WAS THE ONLY PERSON OUTSIDE on the left, so it had to be me. >> No. >> And you just said yes. YOU L YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU answering to. You just saying yes to anything, my [ __ ] Cuz you definitely just said that. >> Okay. >> Didn't say it was you. >> So what the am I in this car for? Cuz that's what the stopped me for for saying that I stole from Walmart. It seem like you don't know what I'm in this car for, sir. >> I was the one that was out there with you. >> Like, it seem like you don't. >> In the end, the woman was convicted of shoplifting and resisting arrest. Attempting to outsmart the law only escalated the situation. Her defiance and lack of transparency made a minor theft spiral into a serious confrontation. What do you think about [music] cases like this? Share your thoughts in the comments, and don't forget to like and subscribe so you won't miss the next video. What's going on? Nothing. >> Nothing. H just >> you you wanted to uh use her credit cuz it was better than yours. That was my understanding. >> On March 18th, 2025, police were dispatched to a car dealership after receiving a report of a woman attempting to buy a car using fake documents. Upon arriving, they coordinated with staff and realized this was her first time coming there. >> Is he out there outside right now? 18. >> They've done this in the past, too. You said >> she knows. >> You've done this. She's done this in the past. >> I'm sorry. >> She's done this in the past. >> Yeah. Detective was working on the last case. >> Okay. Okay. What's up with her? What's going on here? Is she trying to buy a car then? >> Yeah. She just filled that out. >> Okay. So apparently she bought a car a little while ago under one driver's license and that was her real driver's license. >> That's the real one on the left. >> There's no real one. >> This is the first day. This was fraud. This one's front. This is the new one that she's trying to do now. >> The previous put that >> Oh, that's good. Okay, >> we'll get this. >> At that moment, police immediately approached the woman who had been sitting in the back since their arrival. She remained unusually calm and suspiciously quiet in [music] front of the officers. >> Hey, come get your uh first. We just want to make sure that everything is okay here. >> Can you stand up? Put your hands behind your back first. So, you uh looks like you misrep here to them trying to buy a car on a fake identity. So, that would be forgery. Uh so, we're going to have you just we're going to have you ask you some questions here. Um but if you can just stand up, put yourself down for a second here and then we're going to have a >> put your stuff down. >> Yep. Put yourself down. Put your hands behind your back. We're going to >> put them down. something like this. Uh, >> misdemeanor. It typically we can give summons for. So, we'll see what we can do. Okay. >> We'll get your stuff. >> I'll be right back in and talk with you guys. >> She trying to purchase a car >> just as a precaution. >> Yours. >> Even when placed in the patrol car, the woman showed no signs of distress over her situation. With an almost innocent demeanor, she explained the truth behind the name that wasn't hers. So, uh, what what's going on here? You just explain if you want to. You said you want to talk with us. We can just explain what's going on. We can try to figure it out and see if get you out of here real quick. So, what's going on? >> Nothing. >> Nothing. >> Hm. >> Just wanted a car. >> You just wanted a car. Okay. Have you been here before? >> A long time ago. >> A long time ago. Okay. Did you try to buy buy a car then too? >> No. >> Okay. And what name did you use then? >> Larry's. >> Larry's. Not your own. >> No. >> Okay. Wait. Who's Larry? >> I don't say Larry. >> Oh, you said whose name? >> Clarice. >> Oh, Clarice. Okay. Uh, who's Clarice? Is that your mom or something? Or is that is that just another name you have? >> Family friend. >> Family friend. Okay. So, so why did you use her name? You close together business together? >> H >> you have a business together? >> Oh, you guys have a business together. Okay. Um and how long you guys been doing that business? >> About 5 years. >> 5 years. What you guys do? >> Transportation. >> Oh, transportation. You guys work on cars and stuff together. Okay. Okay. Um let me move the cruiser real quick. >> She provided extensive and detailed information about the owner of the documents, claiming it was her friends. Her expression remained unchanged, which only made her story seem more credible. So, you're saying you are in a company with you're in a business with your friend Clarice and you guys have been doing stuff for 5 years together for transportation. >> Mhm. >> Okay, cool. Um, just that doesn't sound illegal at all. So that's um you want to just explain that a little bit more and you have any like I don't know anything you can show them that that you work with her or uh phone number for her that I can call >> a phone number >> or just I don't know something I can use to try to confirm confirm what you're saying right now. >> I got a phone number. >> You got a phone number for her? Okay. Um, what's what's the name of your business? >> Just a van to go. >> Just a van to go. >> Just a vanigo. Why Why'd you use her name and not yours? >> Just because her credit was better. >> Oh, her credit's better. Okay. Was she here with you at the time of the purchase? >> No. >> No. Okay. So, you used her name instead of So, you used her name as your as you though. So, you said you were Clarice when you were here. >> Okay. You said you did. Okay. >> But her story quickly unraveled when police discovered items in her bag. It was clear she was experienced in this scheme. And among the items was something that made the situation even more serious. >> A white male black hat with a hammer. >> Do you know what this is? You don't know what that is? I got it out your purse. You going to be charged with it. What is it? I >> honestly don't. >> You don't? >> You're going to be charged with it, whatever it is. So, you just might as well tell me what it is. >> I don't know. >> You know it was You had it, right? >> No, >> it's yours. >> It was in your purse. >> I said it's not mine. >> Yeah. Okay. Got drugs, too. >> Drugs in your purse. >> It's a mess. Yeah. And two more ident identification cards. Huh. >> Did you? >> Yeah, we already I already did before I put the freezer. >> Did she went with that one? >> No, she won't admit it. It was in her purse with all this other stuff. >> I bet me. >> It looks like mess. Her eyes her eyes got looked like, "Oh, shoot. I got caught." type of look on her face. >> At this point, police questioned her about the small red bag. Yet, she remained unusually calm and still unusually quiet, just as she had from the start. Perhaps she had already stealed herself for jail the moment the handcuffs went on. >> Meth. Okay. Did you get it in Akran? >> Mhm. >> Are you willing to tell me where you got it? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Do you have a phone number for somebody? >> You do? >> I'm not going to jail. >> I mean, you're going to have to go to jail. We don't have a choice. >> Wow. >> Cuz you got a felony warrant out of another jurisdiction. >> And then what you got going on here? This is the second time you've done this here. I'm being straight with you. Do you use meth? Is it for somebody else? Okay. Do you know how bad drugs are in Akan right now? You have any idea? They're like people. Okay. I just care about not telling somebody their kids not coming home cuz they use up meth. You know what I'm saying? So, and we have to do that a lot recently just because they're starting to cut those drugs with like horse tranquilizers. So, it's not been fun. >> All right. I'll pass this along and see what they can do for you. All right. >> Okay. So, instead of I'm going to jail. The woman was charged with forgery and possession of a controlled substance. Trusting that using someone else's identity and carrying illegal substances seems harmless only leads to serious trouble. Cooperate with authorities early to avoid escalating consequences. Next, these parents even needed someone to remind her not to [music] commit a crime. >> I I can just take the items. I will pay for it for real. >> You came in here. >> Somebody could have just told me to take it out. >> I would took it out right there. Like I'm not even understanding. On August 20th, 2023, officers were dispatched to Walmart after a report claimed that two women had stolen merchandise right in front of their own children. When police arrived, everyone had already been taken to the loss prevention office where they were still arguing with the staff. >> Hello. Hello. Hi, ladies. How we doing? >> Oh, wait, wait a second. >> No, we >> cuz we're on video. >> I know. I know. I know. >> So, I'm just trying to get this. >> Okay. >> Don't do that. is now school. >> Our our barcodes don't match. Our barcodes do not match. >> Bro, I just got those from CVS. That's mask, too. I don't even got to laugh about that. Y'all get this back, though. I'm just saying those mask. Don't do that. I just bought that. >> All right. This is not a mask. >> And my and my spoon. >> This This is our mercy. >> No, that is not child. Y'all sell the same thing at CVS. If we don't, our barcodes. >> If that's the case, I would have been taking the tags off the same way I was to shook. I would have opened that. >> Look, ma'am, our barcodes do not match CVS bar. Okay. Keep a little spoon cuz that's just >> All right, guys. >> Same way these are my baby. >> How you doing? >> No, they're not. I'm fine. >> Yes, they are. >> No, that's not. >> Yes, they are. >> No, they not. No, they not. >> Yes, they are. >> Ma'am, can we just kind of just have a seat? Okay. It's not the end of the world. All right, we'll figure this out. I just bought that. >> You get what I'm saying? >> Yeah, I do. >> What's your name? >> One woman stayed oddly calm, almost detached from everything happening while the other grew irritated as officers began handling the situation. Clearly, the woman in the black hat had no intention of cooperating easily. [music] >> You'all have any ID? >> No, I didn't have my ID on No. >> I don't even have ID, actually. >> Okay. How old are we? >> Yeah, >> I'm 22. How old are you? All right. No big deal. We'll figure it out. Not the end of the world. We got to wait for my partner though cuz they're doing the paper. >> Paper for what? >> Paperwork. >> Y'all going to take us to jail? >> I don't know. >> Probably not. >> Y'all got all the stuff. >> We got to figure out what's going on, right? >> Come on. You got to be nicer. You know, >> there's no need for that. You guys don't have IDs on you? >> We're all adults here. >> No. >> I don't have ID. >> You have somebody you can turn the kids over to? >> No. >> Okay. We'll arrange for transportation for them. >> Huh? >> You can arrange for transportation. >> So, y'all going to take us to jail cuz I pay for it now. >> Well, we're trying to figure it out >> cuz I do pay for my stuff. >> So, one of the first steps >> I don't have nobody to watch my son. >> Hold on. Give me one second. Okay. One of the first steps that we do is we try to identify who you guys are cuz you have no ID, right? >> All right. >> We get that done. Then we move to the next step. All right. We're not trying to make this difficult. All right. We're just trying to get the process going cuz everyone wants to go home. I'm sure I'm sure the kids are going to get antsy, right? We're not trying to make it difficult. >> While this was the third time officers had to calm the woman down, the other remained surprisingly upbeat, even brushing off the situation, believing that simply paying for the items would let her walk free. >> Well, [snorts] since I only had three things, can I just pay for that? I gave it back to him and I didn't need like I didn't struggle or anything. I have money if it was up to me. I can just take the items. I will pay for it for real. >> If it was up to me, I would say yes, please. But it's not up to me. It's a process. Um they got to do what they got to do. We got to do what we got to do. >> It ain't the end of the world. I promise you that. >> I'm more concerned for the kids. >> Yeah, that's mom's. Yeah. >> So, all right. Well, in jail, so y'all might >> not too of the world. >> Nobody can't nobody out here. >> Yeah. >> What's up, buddy? How are you? Let me guess. Four. >> Going to be four. It's going to be four. >> He's going to be four. See, I'm good at that. >> Have you guys ever been >> arrested for retail theft? >> No. >> No. >> No. Never. They basically for fighting >> stuff like that. >> Okay. I can't even go get your body in the car. [crying] >> Ma'am, can I pay for the item? >> Can I pay for my >> They tried every tactic to change the outcome. From begging to pay for the items to even shedding a few tears. But unfortunately, every move only made the situation more complicated. >> I said I'll pay for it. >> Too late. So, >> pass that point. You already >> So, is y'all going to arrest somebody? >> We're waiting for uh your history. We haven't gotten yours back yet. And we're waiting for the paperwork from Walmart. >> Waiting for who? Both cars. >> Yeah, cuz you're both involved. >> Tell them less than $100. >> You see? >> Yeah. If he's coming from the >> You going to hear him? >> Yeah. >> I don't have nobody to get my son. Like, come on now. It's not even that serious. >> It's a theft. It's crime, >> bro. I will pay for it. It's not that serious. I'm all the way out here, bro. My son's not going to have nowhere to go. >> Like, please don't do this. >> That's just wrong. Like, for real, y'all could have gave somebody a chance. I ain't never been arrested for no stealing. >> Well, I'm still waiting for your criminal history. >> Like, bro, you they already called them to come get them. >> Nobody's going to come pick him up. >> 64. >> Is that the one with the hole in the kid or the other one? the one against the wall or >> this one was the $84. Hers is 64. >> 84 and 64. >> This one is her. >> Okay. So, that's >> 315. Your subject, >> man. Did you take those spoons off? >> Did y'all didn't see me grab those spoons? >> I got some real stuff. My >> y'all still have no problem. Y'all don't have IDs. We need to know who you are. The women truly had no intention of resolving the situation calmly, especially as they believed they weren't at fault, that the incident happened only because no staff had stopped them. >> Thank you, sir. >> Now, the consequences solely depend on y'all actions first. >> If somebody would have walked up to us up in that stove and asked us what we were doing or something, I would have took that stuff out and put that right up there. >> Right hand up to God. >> Cuz the way you was stuffing it over here, you was rambling about. >> Yeah. But if somebody would have walked up to me and said something, I would have took that stuff out my bag. >> I would never even walked to the door. >> Let me tell you something, okay? I that all makes sense, right? But their job is not to go walk around and tell people who are doing >> committing shoplifting. Hey, why don't you go ahead and take that out of your bag and put it away. Their job is to protect the merchandise from Walmart. And as it walks out the door, that's a crime. Their job >> didn't make it out the door. part of their job description doesn't say, "Hey, if you see somebody putting their stuff in the bag, go over there and tell them to take it out." >> The first set of double doors, when you cross that door, that mean you cross the point of sale. That mean you you walk past every register. You don't have to be outside the building for us to detain. >> Even as the officers tried to ensure her children's safety, she showed no concern, continuing to shift the blame, insisting it wasn't her fault since no one had warned her. All right. So, I want you to understand this. >> We don't even have to do this. Like, real laugh. I don't have nobody to get him. I don't I don't live over here. I live miles and miles away. >> Can I tell you something? You got somebody right here next to you or vice versa. It all depends on the situation, right? Who can take custody of your child? >> Nobody. >> Can I tell you this? If she says, "I'll take your child from you while you go get processed." What do you >> saying? Y'all going to take both of us. So, what difference does that make? >> What? Eventually, you're going to get out, right? We're going to try to process somebody quicker than the other, right? Trust me, we don't want to babysit because it's not in our job description to babysit children, right? We don't have the facilities. All right? One thing we do have to do is keep your children safe. That's why I ordered up some car seats. I'm not just going to put your kids in the back of my car with no car seat. That'd be the wrong thing to do, right? >> Well, that's not up to me. It's up to them. It's their merchandise. It ain't my merchandise. I'm not the victim here. It's not even like we stole nothing. You >> I get you. But you know, a theft is a theft is a theft. >> We could have been stealing medicine or stuff that was like $50 a piece and stuff like that. We stealing baby stuff. Like now, >> but a theft is a theft is a theft. You get what I'm saying? >> Then I would have paid for it to make it out of nobody say nothing. It's like I was waiting for somebody try to walk out the door to try to arrest somebody knowing we sitting here with these kids. That's bogus. >> Can I tell you something? Nobody set you up for that. All right. You came in here. Somebody could have just told me to take it out. >> I would have took it out right there. Like I'm not even understanding. >> Backup officers arrived and they realized that one of the two women had a jurisdictional issue complicating the process. So they asked her to step aside for separate questioning. >> Let me talk to you. We're trying to work this out. >> Walmart trying to work it out. We shut down citations. You guys watch his mom before his mom. >> We're checking just when we're under comes back. She's got jurisdiction. We're checking. >> We want to make this as seamless as possible. Obviously, it's a major thing, but we want to, you know, get it done. If we can citation, you take custom in the meantime while we can deal with what she's got cuz more likely. Okay. All right. And I understand. >> Don't all listen. It is what it is at this point, >> right? We can't we can't unravel all the paperwork when you're doing it and you tell us one thing and it's the other. You understand? on my background like why would y'all even do it? Can y'all buy me a ticket for that? >> I was under pressure and [ __ ] >> It was clear that the wrongdoing came from her own choices. Yet this woman refused to accept the consequences, making it extremely difficult for officers to handcuff her. >> My baby is in the car. That's fine. We're going to get it. >> Okay, so we can go get it now. He's already as hell. >> Okay, listen. I'm being very nice. I'm going to tell you what. You're not being nice. No, you're not. >> You're not. I'm going to go to jail. What the You mean somebody's being nice? >> Okay. >> Okay. So, what the >> I could have done this. >> Okay. Y'all could have did this in the beginning if that's Put the keys in the in the >> Get my baby out the car. Relax, >> bro. Relax. >> Relax. We're going to figure it out. We got you over [ __ ] face, man. Oh, you did it to yourself. >> [ __ ] going to be up in there for what? A waste of the [ __ ] time. Calm down. >> All right. Well, >> stop. Stop moving. You're going to >> stop moving your hands. >> Stop pulling away. >> It is what it is. >> Now, we're going to go to the back. The woman was charged with resisting or obstructing a peace officer and retail theft. Even when faced with clear consequences, refusing to take responsibility [music] only makes situations harder for everyone involved. Accountability is unavoidable. In the next case, the woman even mispronounced her own name twice. Not like that. Not me out here. What about >> On June 20th, 20123, police responded to a report from Target about an ongoing theft. A woman had walked out with merchandise without paying. As officers approached, she was still loading the goods into her car, unaware of their presence. >> I'm Officer Robinson with the Police Department. >> I'm conducting a theft investigation. You're not free to leave at this time. >> Conducting a theft investigation in What's that? >> They paying them. >> Someone else is paying for the merchandise that you walked out with. >> No, listen. Put your hands. >> We're We're going to do this. >> Relax this hand. Hey. Hey. Listen to me. Listen to me. >> While we investigate, put your handcuffs. And if we're wrong, >> listen. You're pulling your hand. >> But listen to me. >> No. No. No. No. >> You listen. First. Put you in handcuffs. Make it safe for me. Then we look into the details. Thank you. You're welcome. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Just cuz I put you in anthos doesn't mean you're getting charged. It means it gives me time to investigate and explain you walked out with stuff we're not paying for. >> We'll work it out for you. We're not just going to take you to jail. Give us a minute. Wait. >> Can you stay t >> Thank you. >> The officers struggled to get her to cooperate. But the difficulty didn't end there. When they began questioning her personal information, they grew suspicious that she was deliberately concealing her identity. >> Do you have an ID with you? >> Huh? Do you have an ID with you? Yes, sir. >> Did you drive here? >> Huh? >> Did you drive here? >> No, my friend drove here. >> Your friend drove here? >> Yes. >> What's your first name? >> Chica Wilson. >> Spell it. >> S H E M K A Wilson. W I L O. Don't turn it off. I'm sorry. >> Whoa. >> We couldn't turn it off. >> Don't do that. >> I'm I'm sorry. >> Yeah, I turned the vehicle off. >> We couldn't turn it off. >> Because we don't have the the key is in in in the in the girl's pocket that the >> Don't worry about the car. Spell your last name again. >> Wilson. >> W I L S O N. >> What's your date of birth, Miss Wilson? >> Go ahead. >> 12:02. >> 1202. What? >> You ever been arrested before? >> Yes. >> For what? >> It's been a long night before. >> For what? >> What you mean? So, >> I'm just at night. >> So, you've been arrested. How old are you? >> I'm 30. >> Okay. >> Her car was still running without the key and her explanation was full of holes, raising many red flags. Let's see how she continued to justify herself when questioned about this suspicious situation. I have these rights in mind. Do you want to talk to me about what's going on here today? >> I want to know what's going on. We went shopping. I had to go shopping for my baby for my baby and I my friend was in there still paying for it and I came out here because the car was still running and I wanted to make sure the car was still okay and she was in there paying for it. >> You walked in business with your car still running? >> Yes. I can't You know that's how cars get stolen, right? >> But I can't cut it off. You like I didn't have the key. >> How is it running if you don't have the key? It's a push to start. >> Yeah, but the key has to stay in the car for >> Yeah, but it didn't. It was still in his pocket. >> Whose pocket? >> In my friend pocket. My boyfriend. >> Where is he at? >> He's at He's at the house, >> but I was already in >> the car. The car doesn't stay on unless the key is in the car. >> It was already in the middle of I was already in the middle of driving. It say no key like when you're driving. So, when you turn the car off, it's going to automatically just go off. >> Okay. Well, I guess we'll have to call your boyfriend to come bring your key. We just going to have to do that. >> That's why I came to the car and just started putting stuff in the car cuz she was sitting there paying for it. >> So, whose merchandise is this? >> It's me and her. >> So, you're sharing. So, is she paying for all of it? Did you guys split the bill? >> We split I s some I sent some money to her cash app and we splitting the bill. >> So, you're paying her through cash app and she's paying for everything inside >> and her own car. >> All right. Well, I guess we'll find out. >> Were you inside? >> How was your day? >> How's my day? It's been extremely busy. I had to chase a burglar. At >> this point, officers approached the friend she mentioned to clarify the situation. And even she seemed puzzled by the circumstances, revealing clear deception in the suspect's statements. >> Are you all done? I'm with your friend outside. Have you paid for everything yet? You ready to go? Okay. Are you still working on that? >> Yeah, we'll save this one for last if you don't mind. [laughter] >> What's wrong? >> Um, well, your friend walked out with hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise that didn't pay for anything. I mean, we're That's what we're doing now. >> You're paying for what? >> She's paying for >> Yes, that's what So, what I'm doing to figure out what's going on. >> How are you paying for all that stuff >> with a car? What do you mean? >> You scanned clothing items? >> I was scanning her clothing. >> Okay. >> And she went >> She went over there and scanned stuff. Okay. She didn't pay for any of it. She goes to sleep. >> She didn't pay. She didn't give anything to Target in exchange for hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise. She just walked out with it. Her story is that you're paying for all of the stuff that she walked out. >> She has she has her own part. I don't know. Okay. >> If like I don't know. >> So, she's supposed to pay for her stuff and you're supposed to pay for your stuff. >> Well, our clothes are together, but the baby formula stuff that's someone gave her the W card to go to the store to get that. I don't know about week. >> Are you paying for it >> or if if you are then it's already scanned unless I'm misunderstanding. >> She's trying to pay for it but the card recently hacked or something. >> Right. >> So she was trying to get her friend's card. So she get >> and I just literally started calling her and you walked up to me on her friend >> and you telling me this and that's all it's like. >> Right. All right. >> What's going on? >> Well, what's going on is $1,400. Is any of that stuff still here? That's what I'm saying. >> All of it's in the car. >> It was never live in the car. That's what I'm saying. It's >> Oh, it's in the car. No, it ain't. It's in the car. >> Okay. Well, she should have been in here. >> Returning to the woman, the officers explained what [music] had happened, but she continued her deception, still fooling herself. >> She failed to understand what we explained to you. >> She was paying for it. >> She didn't though. Like, she she told us she had no intention of paying for these items. She thought you were paying for them. That's what she just told us. meaning you stole these items. >> Wilson, >> is there an I in there somewhere? Because you spelled S H E M K A. >> That's That's Wilson. >> Is there an I in there? >> Huh? >> S H E M K A. >> It's S H A >> S H A S H A. >> Shemica. S H E M K A I >> You don't know how to spell your own name, so you're lying about >> I'm not lying. I'm just asking like y'all sounds like you're lying. >> Hot. No, I'm not. >> I know it is hot, Miss Wilson. I'm in a full polyester uniform with a gun belt and a a vest on. >> Uh Trey, what's the last name or I'm sorry, the uh date of birth? >> 12292. >> No, it ain't. Yeah, I didn't think so. What >> said your birthday is not 12292. >> Yes, it is. >> Said it's not. It's not. You got warrants or something? >> No, I don't. >> You know, we're very good at our job, right? Like >> she still refused to clearly reveal her information. And worse, her next actions brought severe consequences, implicitly confirming her wrongdoing. >> So, here's the deal. This is how it works. If you continue to conceal your identity from us until we get to the jail and then we find out who you are when we get to the jail because we scan your fingerprints and they tell us, "Yeah, this is so and so. We arrest you for >> Stop. Stop. Are you kidding me right now? Get out of the ground. jail. >> Get on the ground. >> Not me like that. >> Don't knock me out here. >> I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to go to jail. >> Yeah, cuz you got warrants. >> Don't I just don't want to go to jail. Y'all going to be nasty. Y'all going to let me go. >> Now you're going in a car. >> You got to be kidding me right now. Unbelievable. >> Let me go to jail. >> Oh my god. My baby's home. Baby, >> stop. I got her, you bro. I got her. >> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. >> That was ridiculous. What are you doing? >> In the end, the woman was charged with grand theft and resisting without violence. Attempting to hide her identity and deceive the officers only made the situation worse. Cooperating fully from the start could have prevented serious legal consequences. Even worse, this thief actually believed he knew the law better than the cops. But like me giving my information is like me saying I did something wrong, bro. I didn't do anything wrong. You only need like a year and a half to be a cop. I got a homie. I train her. She's about to be FEI. >> On April 30th, 2024, police received a call from Lululemon reporting that a man with a prior theft record had returned. Upon arriving, staff shared their suspicions about his potential actions, possibly linked to his previous theft. >> I have no idea. They're just trying on right now. So, we haven't seen anything so we can't pursue. >> Okay. >> Like moving back. >> So, they're in the changing thing right now. >> Yeah. They'll most likely try to return their sto. So, we'll wait till they're at the register before we make a jumper. I'm assuming. >> So, they'll hang out here. >> Okay. um if they're not obviously if they don't like to take it or anything like >> but um >> yeah we're going to we're going to stick around for a second. >> Perfect. Thank you. We just saw you walk by as soon as they entered and that's why >> at that moment police surrounded the store. The suspect was in the fitting room. The instant he stepped out his panicked face and startled words revealed his nervous twitch even before any charges were read. What the [ __ ] >> Hello, sir. How are you? You need to stop here one second. What are you What's going on? >> Hey, [ __ ] I just got here. >> Okay. >> All right. You just You're just buying clothes. Just trying them on. Okay. Yes. >> Okay. >> Do you have any ID on you or anything like that? >> For what though? >> Because they suspected that you [music] were potentially [singing] shopping. >> I literally just got in here. Literally just everything in here is mine. I didn't even >> I literally just got I didn't even go to the register yet. >> Bro, that's crazy, bro. That's man. If they didn't want me shopping here, I just had to say that, bro. I didn't even get to do anything in here yet. I was going to the register right after this, bro. >> Okay, that's it's all good, man. If if you're not >> I don't even want No. So, that's crazy. So, what's the problem? Well, you just ask me for my ID like I committed a crime, though. Bro, >> it's scary. >> You're scaring me. I didn't do anything. I just came out the dressing room. You want to check my bag? >> You sure? All right. But look, that's mean you think I did something wrong. So, I'm going to let you check my bag cuz I just came out the dressing room. Okay. Everything in here is mine, bro. Everything in here is mine. She seen me came in here with this bag. >> The question arose. If he only grabbed his own items, why enter the fitting room? He denied everything. Unaware, staff had already guessed his scheme. Still thinking he was clean, he even waved his phone at the officers in challenge. >> This is Excuse me. What's your badge number, sir? >> That's 18. >> I I didn't hear you. You walking away from me. >> I asked you for your badge number. You walking away from me, sir. >> 18. This is bad. >> What's his name? >> Huh? Sergeant Sor. >> What's your badge nick name and badge number? >> Gonzalez. B number 62. >> What's your name and badge number? >> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. All right. [laughter] You're not talking. >> You pushing me. I didn't even >> You're not talking to her. You're talking to us. >> I literally just came in here. >> Okay. You keep saying that. I'm asking if you've ever received the stuff that's in there. >> No. >> No. Okay. You have some way that you could prove that that stuff is yours. >> I have a whole profile. Yes. >> Okay. >> And I wasn't finished shopping though. I wasn't even finished shopping. >> That's fine. We're just trying to get the information. >> All right. So, can I finish do what I'm doing? >> No. Because we're trying to determine if there's anything in there that's not supposed to be in there based on what they're reporting to us. So, if you can provide proof of that, we're done here. >> But, okay. All right. I'm not finished shopping, though. >> Okay. >> He immediately tried to distract the officers when asked for proof, even refusing to show ID. His suspicious behavior confirmed the staff's prediction. He came to return the items he had sneaked in. >> I came in here with these things, bro. This [ __ ] is pissing me off, son. I came in here with these things. You could check my account. I got an account. I was going to do an exchange, bro. >> I was going to do an exchange. I came here with you. I >> Yes. >> Okay. So, give us your >> You can look in the account with my ID. >> So, give us your >> Give us your >> Oh my gosh, bro. Son, this [ __ ] is crazy. I came in here. I don't I didn't commit no crimes though, bro. Like, that's the You force me to >> I have an IV, but I don't understand why I got to give you my ID. You cannot prove that all >> I do. It's in my account, bro. I don't >> give us your ID and we can look at your account. >> This all you got to do is pull my name up in the account. >> Give us your information. >> We need to identify you. >> But for what though? Again, I'll repeat it for the third, fourth, fifth time. You cannot prove right now that the stuff >> Yes, I can. It's in the account. >> Detain, bro. >> So, you need to give us your right. >> Detain here. My account is right there and I just told you. All you got to do is go in the account. >> Give us your Listen, sir. >> Your phone number isn't your identifying information. >> My account is right there, sir. All you got to do is put my name and number identifying information. We need that of our own. >> He wanted to clear his name but refused to cooperate, making things harder for himself while searching for his ID instead of handing it straight to the officers. >> Does for you is we need to identify you. Then if we look at the video footage later on and we find out that you did shoplift the stuff, then you get charged with it. For now, that would be the end of it. >> So we but we need your identifying information. >> But I just told So what do you need for me? >> I need your ID. Date of birth. ID. >> My name and date of birth. I give you my name and date of birth. >> What is it? Tell me that. >> I feel like I ain't doing nothing wrong though, sir. Like, you got to understand me, sir. You was You scared the out of me. >> I was outside. >> What is your name and date of birth? >> What is your name in beta? >> Sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry. You scared me. Look, I'm not going to do I'm just passionately wrong. on you. >> Can I go to the car? >> No. >> Like I can't even leave. Like you >> Okay. So, I'm going to try to confirm you >> around the corner. >> Yeah. There's no parking over here. >> Yes. >> Why? I got nothing to do with this. >> Curiously, he carried a bag but had no ID or driver's license. Almost like he was testing how the cops would handle it. After [snorts] all, he had experience training. >> I told you I got family. That's a DA, district attorney. >> Cop, you only need like a year and a half to be a cop. I got a homie. I train her. She's about to be FDI. Lock me up. Do what you got to do. I did not do anything. I didn't do anything wrong. But I didn't do anything wrong, bro. So I could I'm going to stay here as much as I got to cuz I didn't do anything wrong, bro. Like what the we're here one day. >> You had to ask on the phone. Should I give him my real per basically? You didn't give the real >> that. No, I didn't say real. I said should I give them my Yes. >> But you already gave it to you asking permission for somebody else. You're a grown ass man. Just provide your name name and date of birth. >> I like you. >> You're a grown ass man. >> I like that. I am a grown ass man. But at the same time, I'm going to ask somebody that really care about me. Y'all just manipulating me. I'm going to askipulate. >> Y don't You don't care about me like that, bro. You don't care. >> Just give your name. >> I just said it though. That's really my name though. >> I'm not from out here. Maybe that's the real New York Papa from New York. Even after he finally handed over his ID, officers quickly verified it, only to discover he carried a fake one. That alone was enough to charge him. And really, if he did nothing wrong, why was he carrying fake documents at all? >> So, at at this point, you gave me an ID. That's the face. You gave us fake information. >> That's right, man. >> 25 y, bro. That's how I say racist, bro. >> Racist, son. Racist. Racist. Racist. Y'all wanted to cuff me, bro. You wanted to do that from the jump. I never gave you no fake eyes. Everything's on camera, bro. Everything's on, bro. You see you remember you're black, bro. L don't >> Yes, it is. How? I didn't take anything in here. >> All right. And I didn't take And I didn't take anything in here. God forbid anything happened to you. Blue lemon is going to get another worker. Bro, let me go.

It's closed, bro. >> He faced charges of shoplifting, possession of a fraudulent ID, providing false identification to law enforcement, and obstruction for refusing to cooperate with officers.
