Come on. Come on little charge. COME ON MAN. AND THEN I'm done. Let's be real. I graduated so I'm not no What was she There's a line that says, "Walmart had better cameras than most banks." Yet a few thieves acted as if nothing was happening. They would surely regret underestimating the store's surveillance. Police ensured they learned their lesson. All of this was captured in today's video when Walmart shoplifters forget cameras are rolling. Welcome to This is Law, a channel that takes you inside real encounters with law enforcement. Don't forget to like and subscribe. Starting with this woman being arrested seemed to be no issue for her at all. You get the job done to get paid, you just take the merchandise, correct? I was stupid. I get it. All right, Miss Dawson, go ahead and turn around and put your hands behind your back, okay? Are you serious? Yep. You're under arrest for retail theft. On January 2nd, 2025, police received a report from a lounge about the presence of a suspect who had shoplifted weeks earlier. Upon approach, the woman showed no surprise at all and instead displayed an openly hostile attitude. Ma'am. Can you cash out and come talk to me for a second outside, please? We'll discuss things out here. I don't want to discuss business inside. Do you have an idea on you by chance, ma'am? I'm in my car. Huh? Look, I'll just take your name if that makes things a little bit easier. You are Miss Melissa as I thought. Miss Okay, so the reason why I'm here talking to you, okay, is cuz back on the 8th the 8th of this month and the 14th of this month, you went to Menards, okay? Okay. And while at Menards, you concealed So on the 8th, $214 worth of merchandise and on the 14th, uh approximately $100 worth of merchandise. What do you mean concealed? Like Stole. Uh no, I didn't. Whether she acknowledged the accusation or denied it, she maintained a striking calm, unaware that the police already knew every detail. Just so you know, I have everything on video, okay? I have video from both days. Okay? Okay. What happened? I needed stuff for work. So you just steal it? Well, I didn't have choice. It was either get the job done or don't get paid. Well, you used uh points from Okay. Why can't you use more of his points so that that that comes off? Because that's for his stuff. That's not for my stuff. It's for his stuff? Yeah. This material for his for what he needed stuff for. So instead of asking him for help and paying him back after you get the job done to get paid, you just take the merchandise, correct? I was stupid. I get it. But you went there a second time. Why'd you go there a second time? I don't You don't know? She showed no shame even when admitting what she had done, apparently never seeing it as illegal. And her attitude only became clearer once she realized she was under arrest. All right, Miss Dawson, go ahead and turn around and put your hands behind your back, okay? Are you serious? Yep. You're under arrest for retail theft. Do you have any money left in there? I got money in my pocket. No, I don't have any. Okay. Anything on you I need to know about? No. No?

No. Want to search your tail? Yeah. Keep in mind. She claimed she stole because she could not afford the items, but that excuse was completely false as police discovered she was gambling and also uncovered even more evidence that exposed her lie. I'm sure they didn't know. I don't I was saying I'm not going to sit in anywhere. There's still change in this pocket. That's >> That's fine. There's more change in that top one.

In the end, she was charged with retail theft. Lack of remorse and dishonest excuses only deepen the consequences because the truth always surfaces in the end. Next, Walmart had better cameras than most banks. This case proved it all. uh flower shirt and she's got a basket full like a thousand dollars worth of stuff. No! Get over here! HEY, [laughter] WHAT WERE YOU EVEN thinking about? On May 26th, 2024, police received a call from Walmart reporting an active shoplifting incident. The suspects were identified as a man and a woman who had removed price tags and concealed merchandise in bags. Upon arrival, officers monitored the situation through security cameras, patiently waiting for the right moment to move in. He's over here. So they were putting stuff into the bag and then also took some price tags off. Some items that they had on. Sorry. These are always fun. They always running and [ __ ] So that's why I get hair fast. This would be my first. >> Do they run? Hopefully they run then. Yeah. I like to wait till they take or they come separate and then Do you get them all separate? One runs one way and the other one runs the other way. So you get them together. You have like See if they don't run or anything, you know? Yeah, there is. Hot Pockets. Now, see they selected another bag there. They got at least a lot of clothes in there. There. Well, they're loaded now for sure. Yeah. I finally got them all together. 935 125 with the male in front of the UPS store. Oh, but they're going to load up one in MSU stuff. Yeah, pricey. >> so Those are so expensive. They're all $30 shirts. Yeah. They're Yeah, they're pretty pricey. Cool. The theft appeared to have been carefully planned. The pair split up, each positioning themselves in their desired sections while the store's precise camera system allowed staff to track and document every wrongful move in real time. At least we're like more than 200 right now. Uh yeah. Maybe, right? >> Yeah. You don't think they're going to want to pursue, right? Yeah. Okay. This I was They were like, "Why did you get here so fast?" And they were like I like I like that right there. They always running. They just split up so they're loading two carts now. Just that guy. And that lady and then He's looking hard too. >> Now, she's going to go to liquor so they're probably going to try and steal liquor. They loaded a lot bunch of animals. Oh, what he's going to do he's probably going to put liquor in that bag. There we go. Let me see. Oh, he's going to open the bag. There we go. Do they have a cell phone? Yeah. All right. Hang on. What are we doing? He's been waddling around the store. It's like 70s. Yes, she can run. That's her? Is she concealing stuff too? Yeah. So there's a backpack underneath there. Also the glasses on her head or she took off the price tag. And he already took off the price tag to the backpack. He just saw it. Put the concealer on the face. Maybe he just keeping in his pockets for like easy escape. One can only hope. Easy escape. >> [laughter] >> Right into the bag. I don't know. What is that? A bottle? Yeah. I mean, they know we have cameras. They were even able to watch the television through the surveillance system, showcasing just how astonishing Walmart's security systems were. Something that clearly impressed the police. That's what we tell people. We're like, you know Walmart has better cameras than most banks, right? >> [laughter] >> They're probably loading all that seafood, huh? So that has a That has a security thing on it. So I wouldn't doubt if they're just going to try and run. Look, look. There we go. They're going. They're going fast, too, huh? Look, look. She's grabbing a lot of of He's going to go play around pets. Probably she's out in the parking lot. Huh? It should be like a $300 something there. I mean, she's really No, no, no. Wait. Oh, oh, yeah. She's stocking up on meat. That's a good indicator right there. And they're just throwing stuff, so they're not even looking at price tags. So that's like another indicator. Yeah, they're not grabbing great value stuff like I do. Yeah, I know, [laughter] right? Like so people that work are working for their money. Oh, that's a pretty good Honey, all right. Yeah, though. Damn, green chili is like six bucks. You put Where did you already go? Hold on. See, that's how you know we all work. What do you know? Can you see him? He's too fast. He duked you out. There he is. More clothes. They've been getting them Anonymous You shirts and so I'm going to go full screen cuz I got to do this. >> [snorts] >> Is it good for the season? The surveillance continued as the suspects began showing signs of leaving, prompting officers to move into position and plan their intervention. Indeed. That's a lot of shoes. For real. Do you guys take them to jail or just cite them? Yeah, no. First offense. No, let me take them to jail. That's the entrance they're at now. No, that's He's pushing to the other side. I forgot. I told boy waiting Henry. He's going to get out. You want to tell them what they're wearing now? You got a mask on now? Yeah, you put his mask up. He's going to do it. He's going to push out now. So you go ahead and mask up. Oh, in this way. No, I'll be Okay. Did you have him set up over here, though? Yeah. Yeah, so this is not this entrance? It's not this one. No, this is grocery. Coming this side. Should be walking out pretty soon. Yeah, he's still looking at that same spot that he was at. He's putting the backpack on right now. You don't want to search company just because you're like, what the heck? Why are you doing this? There you go. Don't take it out. He's got the backpack on with the mask on as well. The very moment the man confidently stepped outside the door was exactly what the police had been waiting for. What was striking was how familiar his actions seemed, as if he was already accustomed to being arrested. Come here, man. You don't have to get on the ground. You don't have to get on the ground. All right, just relax. Do what we tell you, okay? Just get up, bud. Stand up. Stand up. Thanks. Put your feet under you. There you go. I'll get your stuff. I'll get your glasses. I'll get them. Walk over there. We're going to take that backpack off. Do you understand why we're talking with you right now? Do you have an idea? Okay. We'll go over that in detail in just a moment, okay, young man? All right. You guys try to move them out of the way, away from the GM side, so she So Let's just do a quick search on for weapons cuz there's a female that's with him. Oh. I got to go get the female now. She's pushing out right now. >> She's about to push out, bro. That same door. She's wearing like a uh flower shirt and she's got a basket for like a thousand dollars worth of stuff. The woman was even more brazen than the man. She pushed an entire cart full of goods straight outside. And just like the man, her immediate reaction suggested this was far from her first encounter with an arrest. Come here. GET OVER HERE! HEY, what were you thinking about? >> That was the stupidest thing you've ever done. Do I have to get arrested or can I just I got a 16-year-old at home that I need That's too bad. She can go with CPS. >> [laughter] >> I just want to Can I just get a ticket and go home? No. We have a firearm between us. That's why I love 1101. And you guys want to press charges? For sure press charges. Yes. All the way. Everything we can. Especially she tried to run. She knew she was wrong. Shame on that old lady. Ain't you too old to be doing that, lady? Uh this is her personal property, right? We don't have any information that she might have something I believe that is correct. There's alcohol in here, which is what he was suspected of taking. She pushed an entire cart of merchandise outside. Valued at around $1,000, then quickly begged to be let off with just a citation and go home. She showed no shame at all, but it was already far too late for her and for the man as well. Well, I know you're sorry. It's too late for that. Yes. Can I go home? Nope. Me? Listen real quick. We're going to ask you questions. We're going to talk to you and all that good stuff, but you know you have Miranda rights, right? You don't have to answer any of my questions or make any statements unless you have an attorney present. You understand that, right? >> Yes, sir. Okay, and you can at any time enact those rights. You understand that, right? So I'm not going to read it to you verbatim, but you understand you're a grown ass man, right? Mhm. All right. Like I said, do you already remember you have rights, right? Are you a felon? I'm not a felon. You're not a felon? Are you legally allowed to have a firearm? It's inoperable. It's inoperable? Yeah. Yeah, it don't work. Finally, the woman was charged with shoplifting over $500, conspiracy to shoplift, and resisting arrest. Meanwhile, the man was charged with shoplifting, conspiracy to shoplift, and possession of a stolen firearm. Crime doesn't become acceptable just because it feels routine. Repeated offenses only prove intent, and cameras, evidence, and consequences will always catch up in the end. Next, watch the outcome of this foolish man. Hey! YOU GOING TO GET TASED! GET ON THE GROUND! YEAH, I'MMA CALL THEM MYSELF CUZ I WAS I know I made a dumb mistake. I didn't On May 7th, 2025, police responded to a report of a suspect concealing items in a reusable bag at Walmart. Upon arriving, they monitored every move of the suspect through cameras, waiting for the next move. He's already concealed the seafood into a Walmart reusable bag. Says seafood? >> Yes, shrimp. He's concealed shrimp, hamburger meat, and some other grocery items into that blue reusable Walmart bag. Can you hang out towards GM and garden area? Can you just over there on that side now? He hasn't passed our point of sale yet. But just in case he tries to get out that door. I'll try I'll try to send you a picture. I'm thinking of watching him. We just circle around and see. Yep. Hey, I just sent you a picture. Black male, white t-shirt, like long dreads. Looks like he maybe got some pajama pants on or something like that. >> It's got some hopeful designs on it. Um he's by GM door right now. It looks like he's going to push out. Yeah, he's going out to >> Yeah, he's going out the door now. As soon as the suspect stepped outside, police quickly gave chase to intercept him, but the suspect noticed. And a tense pursuit immediately ensued. 10-31 AT THE COUNT. STOP, POLICE! YOU GOING TO GET TASED! YOU GOING TO GET TASED! GET ON THE GROUND! TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND. STAY ON THE GROUND. TURN AROUND. Turn around. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. Your hands. Give me your hands. Give me your hands. Give me your hands. Stop turning around. Get on the ground. All right, so stop. You got the cart, right? Yeah, they came and told me before you. Okay. Um yeah, they found an ID. They're working on it right now. So you were just kind of So what what caught your eye on this guy? The reusable bag. The reusable bag? And the two bags of shrimp. Nice five bags of shrimp. Okay. And the way he kept organizing it to make it easy accessible to just put in the bag. Okay. So I continued to follow him from that and then goes up and down grocery aisles. He found an aisle that's empty and that's where I catch him concealing it. Putting the seafood items inside the bag? And then while I was on the phone with dispatch, he went to automotive and got some of that multiple bottles of that gas treatment. And that's he put that He put that in the back of the cart. Yeah. And then by the time you came in, he was in chemicals and he put that in the cart and never made it to the back. According to the staff, the man's actions were clearly calculated and professional and this was not his first offense. Even when he called his girlfriend, he spoke as if she was already aware of it. Can you still hear me? Yeah, they searched me right after I I know I know. Here it comes. You don't need anyone else here. Go ahead, have a seat. Slide back. Slide back. All right, well we can grab some phone numbers. That way you can call them once you get to the jail. Once you get into booking, you can make as many phone calls as you want. And what's your password? Oh, never mind. Yeah, you're good. What's your girlfriend? This one, Linda Ross? Hello. Yeah, I'm I'm sorry. I just needed to call you to let you know where I'm They're taking me to jail. Huh? I'm not too What you said? The man's relatives were not even surprised by his behavior, which further raised the police's suspicions about his prior offenses. Um if you have any prior convictions, guilty, then it'll up the charge. So it'll be felony and you won't have a bond. So it's right now it's petty theft. But if you have any any prior convictions then it's What do you mean convictions though? Like guilty or something? Yeah. So like if the court said I was guilty or something or Just a guilty conviction. If you have a guilty conviction then it'll I don't have a guilty conviction but Okay, well if not then it should be petty theft. So it may be Well, I'm probably on probation so no bond. You're still on probation? You're Are you on supervised probation? No. No? Well I got I got a call in if that's what you're asking. All right, so what what he'll figure that out. All right? Hello. Yeah, I was trying to call you to let you call my mom and yeah, I'm going to call her myself cuz I I know I made a dumb mistake. I didn't Yeah, dumb mistake dumb mistake. Dumb action, sorry. What I'm trying to do is just I just need you to come grab my stuff. Shortly after, police confirmed his prior record through his ID and the more they checked, the clearer his guilt became. He looks familiar. What's his height? 5'7"? June 5th, 1997. Yeah, that's him. Thank you, ma'am. Two of these steak bags. Two steak bags? Yeah, I did it. Okay. Thank you. Okay, so he's getting charged fast. Oh [ __ ] that's her picture. We are prosecuting. Back to the man, he made additional calls to his family, so embarrassed that he didn't even clearly admit his wrongdoing. Hey yeah, I'm calling y'all cuz I just made another dumb decision. I went back to that I went to that other Walmart. They came and grabbed me again. I'm finna go out. They They let They They've been nice let me call y'all to let y'all know first.

Absolutely, ma'am. Yeah, we'll do that at In the end, the man was charged with petty theft and trespassing. Reckless and repeated theft never ends well. Even careful planning can't outsmart the law. Even worse, the law meant nothing to this unhinged woman. Give me a [ __ ] I'm not going to charge. Something How about that? Hey, okay, okay and what's and and you're sugarcoating that I'm dumb. Let's be real. I graduated so I'm not no dummy. On March 30th, 2024, police were dispatched to Walmart after receiving a report of a repeat shoplifting suspect who had returned to commit similar thefts. Upon arrival, store employees recounted the day's events. All this? Yeah, so I prevented this first one she tried to walk out with. And then she grabbed another cart. She tried to pick similar items and walk out again. All right, so what are we reporting, everything? Yeah, everything. Okay. She tried She attempted to walk out twice with merchandise. Okay. 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 can speak to them. And I'm like, "Yo, double check the receipt cuz I seen her in Subway like putting herself in the 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 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 yourself or not?" And she goes, "Would you like me to pay for myself?" 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. >> was nothing on the phone. >> There was nothing on the phone. According to the employees, the woman had already filled her cart with items she intended to steal, fully aware she was being watched. At that moment, another officer approached her while she remained completely unaware. Excuse me. Turn around. Good. Um so, the loss prevention just called us. They said that you 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 he receipt for all of it once. He let me out when my phone died. I said, "I paid for my receipt. I showed him the day.

As predicted, she claimed to have a receipt on her phone as an excuse, but of course it had no effect. Tensions escalated as she deliberately tried to evade the officers' requests. Yeah. In the meantime, do you have an idea on it? NO, BUT WHAT YOU'RE YOU'RE You're saying it's a camera and stuff, right? >> So, they're just going to double-check it.

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.

You're just saying yes to anything, my [ __ ] cuz you definitely just said that. Okay. Finally, the woman was charged with shoplifting and resisting arrest. The woman's refusal to cooperate and her persistent defiance escalated a situation that could have been resolved quickly, showing that resistance [music] and dishonesty only lead to harsher consequences. Even more indifferent, the woman couldn't even recall her own wrongdoing. Okay, Tamara, this is going to be your time to to be honest. You're caught red-handed. And every I have pages and pages of documents showing that you were there On July 10th, 2024, police responded to a report from a second-hand clothing store regarding fraudulent transactions carried out by one of their own employees. Upon arriving at the scene, officers encountered both the store manager and the suspect, who likely realized she had been caught. Yeah, both, please. Or they might be in the car. In the patrol car? Yep. Okay. Where's your >> Where's your car at? It's right here. Tamara, do you have a concealed carry license? Do you have a firearm on you? I have a concealed carry license. Do you have your Do you have a firearm on you? I do. You do? Is it in your purse? It's in the bag. Do you mind if I hold that while I wash my hands? You have the keys? No, I have the remote to the car. The car key is in there. All right. I'm going to grab it for you, okay? Sure thing. I got Oh, no. Of course, you can keep Take it out. Take it out. >> Yeah, I'll take it out. I'm sorry about that. What are you running? Yeah. Give me both, baby. 22 22 LR, yeah. There's that for you. This would be 24 Right. Well, I don't want that one. No, I know. I'm just trying to make sure you have the right one. Okay. Well, let me check the Let me check. Okay. The employee had to return the store keys at the manager's request, and immediately afterward, the police also made a proposal to her. Tamara, I need you to follow me I'm going to ask you to follow me down to the police station. Okay. Okay? Is there anything I need to be aware of? Yeah, we have to talk about a couple of things. I need to speak with you. Okay. Yeah. My direct deposit slip? Okay. Just wait for her to finish up here, whatever process you guys go through, or she's going through. Okay. Whatever. They're terminating your employment. Okay. And then you can follow me up to the police station. All right. And you are Officer Frates with the Oak Park Police Department. Okay. Uh so, if it's okay with you, we'll hold on to it, but Hold on to it? Uh until we give it back to you. Okay. You have a concealed carry license. You're a lawful gun owner. But, you just can't have it when you're sitting across from me talking. Okay. Okay. Fair enough? Sure. May I ask what are we speaking about? Um I'll go over everything with you. Once everything was secure, the police escorted the woman to the station, where each of her alleged misdeeds was laid out in detail. The reason why we're talking today is I was notified by uh your former employer, now the one we were just at, Clothes Mentor, of some discrepancies uh at the with the purchases that were made in at the Clothes Mentor over the last couple months. Are you aware Are you aware of what I'm talking about? Okay. Um well, I sat down and I talked to your manager, and is there any way to you today that there's a policy at Clothes Mentor that employees are allowed to sell clothing to the store, but they're not allowed to process the transaction themselves. Are you aware of this policy? Okay. They're alleging that you on multiple different occasions uh while you were alone in the store, sold clothing to the store yourself, and then took the cash and pocketed it, and that the clothes don't exist. There was no clothes, and you did the clothing yourself. So, you brought the clothes in, processed it as a sale yourself, and then with no clothes ever being brought in, and then pocketed that money yourself. Does that sound accurate? I never sold at work. You never what? Sold at work. Like, we have a policy where we can sell. I never sold clothes at work. Where you can sell clothes to the store. Right. Correct. So, The woman remained completely calm in the face of all accusations, even as every detail of her transactions was read aloud during questioning. Okay. On this most recent one, on July 5th at 5:14 p.m., you July 5th, you're the only one working. A transaction was uh sold by Tamara Allen, that's you, to Tamara Allen for $92. Do you recall that? What? I was selling that I'm like a buyer, I can buy in. So, under the register, it says my name. So, it's processed it's processed by So, you It says you you processed this transaction. No, I wouldn't buy my own clothes. So, but at on July 5th, prior to July 5th, at this time, it says your name, and the customer is Tamara Allen. Do you re- Do you recall this kind of this transaction? No, sir. Okay. So, was someone else using your name on the transaction? Could be. Uh according [snorts] to the schedule, you're the only one working at the time. I don't know what you're talking about. Okay. For each transaction read aloud by the police, she responded that she didn't remember. This was likely true, as even she couldn't believe the large number of transactions she'd carried out. I've got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 times dating back to February 11th. This happened where you were working. There was no clothes anywhere. The transaction still processed. There's no way So, July All these transactions were processed by you selling to someone named Tamara Allen, all except one. And the cash is is uh nowhere to be found, and the clothes that were supposedly sold are also nowhere to be found. Secondly, every time you do a sales if I come in to buy to sell clothes to the Clothes Mentor, there's paperwork that's supposed to be filled out. Is this correct? Because the number was so large, she didn't believe any of the evidence the police presented, continuing to chew gum and shake her head, remaining calm even as officers insisted it was the truth. The paperwork for every one of these sales is missing. It does not exist. I have no knowledge of it. No knowledge Okay. Tamara, this is going to be your time to to be honest. You're caught red-handed. And every I have pages and pages of documents showing that you were there alone at the time of all of these sales. And your employee number was used to do the sale, and the person [clears throat] who sold it was Tamara Allen, that which is uh insidiously your name, just with a one letter change. Um I've got all sorts of things, and then to include a check for $800 that um was used for uh for petty cash, and was signed out for petty cash, and then the date was crossed off, but that check is still missing. Cuz the date above it, that same I'm telling you that that that exists. This is This is not with your initials next to it. No way. No way. No knowledge. No knowledge of this? No. Okay. So, She immediately denied everything without even glancing down to verify whether what the police said was correct. And even when questioned again, she continued to claim no knowledge of it. Are you denying processing these? I have no knowledge of the processing. I have no knowledge of the check. Okay. What would What would help you remember what would happen at this time? Nothing will help me remember because it's no knowledge of it. I don't not like in the memory. Okay. This is just So, someone else came in the store while you were there alone, and did all these different transactions? Someone could have my associates my employee number. I just filed for identity fraud. Literally. But, this occurred inside of the store. This wasn't somewhere online. This was inside of the store. Nothing does not happen online. Or online, I have no knowledge of it. Okay. So, here's what's going to happen cuz you're saying uh I don't know. I have no knowledge. Uh what's going to happen is I'm going to take all of this evidence, which is which your former employer carefully combed through. Um this is not by chance. This is not random. They carefully combed through this and before pointing the finger at you. They checked the store up and down all the inventory for any of the clothes that were allegedly sold at these dates and times. Um They've carefully cross-referenced the schedules, and on each occasion, you were working alone, and this happened after the manager clocked out. And you're going to be looking at felony fraud charges. Uh it's very very serious offense. Um that check also had to be check fraud that you that you have in your possession. I have no knowledge. Uh so, what's going to happen is I'm going to go I'm going to call them on the phone, and I'm going to talk to them about it. They'll review it, and then the charges will be filed. Besides claiming no memory of the events presented, the woman offered no defense for herself. As a result, the police quickly made the decisions they had at hand. I'll let you know what the state's attorney says, and uh as long as you're not arrested, I'll have you yourself in on that warrant. Okay. This sounds terrible. It's just reality of of the situation. If you're not going to give me anything else I've never done this. Never have I even been detained. Well, you're not detained. We're just discussing this. You're free to leave. I've never had a situation like this be even like going from one job to another. So I mean I don't know. I mean, if if someone was accusing me of these things or or I I would assume if someone was accusing uh a person of this, they would you would look at the the dates and the times and you'd be like, that couldn't have been me and then explain why. Uh but or explain to me what happened here. You're saying you don't have any memory of it. Um no. Can you look at these and see that these are all buying selling customers? All of these people I want to talk about the ones I want to talk the ones about sold by you. Right. By me? By you. On these dates for these prices. $92. Which was said to retail for $310.92 by you at this date and time or sold by this person to Mera Allen. A handbag on this date. Do you have any memory of this one? The woman was charged with burglary for her fraudulent scheme. Even if a suspect remains calm and denies wrongdoing, it does not prevent law enforcement from holding them accountable. Next, another chaos erupted once again, this time caused by the store employee. On November 24th, 2023, police responded to a call from Walmart regarding an employee theft. Upon arrival, the woman's shift was immediately ended. All right, they So, they got you on camera basically taking money from the register, putting in your pocket. Money? When? >> Yeah. They got you on camera. Would you be able to empty out your pockets? I had my money. Okay, can you take that out? I had my money, yes, sir. Can I see it really quick? Can you stand? >> else in your pockets? No, sir. I'm going to let you Okay, I'm going to have you turn and face the wall right here. I'm going to pat you down. You got nothing on Which pocket did you put it in? This one? The woman appeared confused by the allegations and even at just 20 years old, she seemed oddly intrigued by this unusual experience in her life. At that moment, she was shown exactly what she had done. Can I see for myself? It was clear that the woman took advantage of giving change to customers, carefully pocketing more money than necessary in her hand. Immediately after completing the transaction, she slipped it into her jacket pocket, acting as if nothing had happened. She then continued the same scheme with the next transactions. I'm going to show you the picture just to show you that Oh, that's There's a camera like literally right there. I know. I know that, of course. So, here's the times that I guess you were taking it the other days, right? The other days? Okay. I can't see much of Even with the evidence presented, she refused to admit guilt and the situation grew increasingly tense due to her inability to accept what was happening. How how can I know what happened if I'm it look like I'm taking money out of the drawer? I'm just letting you know, it's all on video, okay? So, I need you to write a statement about what has happened. Yeah. With this money that we had missing from your register that you were working on. Okay? Like what do I I'm confused So, you right? I hear him. I hear him. Okay? Like y'all going to make me mad. I'm being calm right now because I'm trying to see what's going on. We're being calm, too. We're just explaining what you need to do. Okay? I'm just letting you know, this this is our documentation of lost money. >> to see what happened. >> of money that's been taken from the register that you worked on, okay? These are still photos, yes, and we do have videos of it, okay? So, what I just just cuz these still photos are showing what where your hands are at, it's not changing anything from the video. So, I'm So, I'm just letting you know, we already have it documented, a video and everything of you getting the money. Okay. Okay? I'm confused. Can I put my stuff back up here now? >> leave them just leave them right there. This is my that I bought from Walmart. Okay. Clearly, she was not the victim in this situation. She insisted she had the right to choose whom to cooperate with, which complicated the process further. Just write what happened. I've been It's already documented. It's already here in Well, I'm I'm going to see what happened. That's why I'm telling you what happened. I'm not talking to y'all. Please. I'm talking to you. But I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to I'm telling you what's happened, okay? Okay, but like what happened? Taking money from the registers and putting in your back pocket. >> y'all saying. And that's what I didn't do. The woman only cooperated with Walmart's loss prevention staff, completely disregarding the police. Things spiraled further out of control once she realized why the officers were there. I don't come here just to look at videos. >> y'all finna do? Arrest you. Arrest me? Yeah, so you're going to do what they told you to do is take get back what you took. >> Why is y'all arresting me? Because you're under arrest for stealing. I didn't steal anything. >> Okay, just take off your vest so then we can get out of here. Okay, can I go home? I didn't steal [ __ ] I'm not even from out here. You work on Bro, don't touch me. I got TO GET MY >> [screaming] >> YOU WANT TO GET TASED? I'M GOING TO GET TASED. Get on the ground. Get Where Give me your hands. Put your hands behind your back or I'm going TO TASE YOU. YOU'RE HURTING ME. NO, HE'S HURTING ME. OH, NO. Y'ALL ARE serious right now. You're resisting. WHAT YOU MEAN? I JUST WANTED TO TURN AROUND NOW. Can I get my belongings? Her actions led to this outcome, yet she couldn't accept responsibility and continued to lash out at the police. Ooh, you just literally broke my 32 OH, Y'ALL SERIOUS I'M STARTING TO FREAK OUT. WHAT YOU MEAN I'M FREAKING OUT? STOP. I'M GOING TO TASE YOU. GET GET GET Stop resisting. Oh, like y'all did this, bro. Y'all did this. Just calm down. Y'all did it. Can I calm down, please? Calm down. I'm calm now, bro. I DIDN'T DO TALKING ABOUT YOU, BRO. STOP TOUCHING ME. YOU DOING THIS. STOP. 32, CAN YOU SEND US ONE MORE UNIT? I GOT IT. I got it. I got it. I'm trying to calm down. They're good. Say rush her out. They literally broke my Oh, yes. Ooh, bro. 32, sending 52 to her. She's bleeding. You did it! The woman was charged with theft over $500, aggravated assault on a peace officer, and resisting arrest. Even when faced with clear evidence, refusing to take responsibility only escalates the situation and creates more chaos for everyone involved. What do you think about cases like this?

So, she said, "Yeah, I put on my line on the drugs, and then I walked out with my friend, and that's when they um grabbed me." Um she didn't have time to pay for right or for payment. On February 6th, 2025, police received a call from Macy's reporting a young woman who calmly entered the accessory section, glanced around, and quietly slipped two pairs of designer sunglasses into her bag before trying to leave unnoticed. Upon arriving, officers found her in the loss prevention office. I don't know. I don't know. The woman communicated in Spanish and admitted to her actions. Continuing her cooperation, officers also asked her about the reasons behind her misconduct. Um this is Dr. T, and why why was she stealing them? What was what was her >> [clears throat] [clears throat] >> According to the report, the woman was 21 years old, originally from Venezuela, an age when finding work and earning money would normally be possible. The real reason she couldn't, however, was that she had entered the country illegally. Uh what was her I see she's from Venezuela. Is there a particular city or So, she's So, she's out of ours. She's from another country. How long has she been here in the United States? A year and 12 days. Okay. So, a year, a month, and a day. How did she get here? I mean Okay. So, she crossed the border and they came here illegally. Uh Why would you say that? Did they ever walk her out or did she have any help with that? >> Yes, cuz she said she turned herself in. So, uh for a year, 1 month, and 1 day, she crossed the desert. >> [music] >> All right. So, she's in South Florida. She has no place to live. She has no job. She says she crossed illegally a year or maybe a year ago, and she's committed a felony retail theft. That's the facts. Do you know them? She is 21, correct? Identifying the woman became a major obstacle for officers. They proceeded to search her, documenting her tattoos and fingerprints to replace the ID she didn't have. I guess this is our case. They could I'm not talking about this in this case. I'll take it They'd be more well-versed than what Okay. the process. >> [clears throat] >> That's it. Can I can I take a picture of her? She was charged with petty theft. Lacking proper documents doesn't justify breaking the law. When people choose theft as a shortcut, they only trap themselves in deeper consequences. Another shoplifting couple, they shamelessly [music] erased any sense of guilt from their minds. Yeah, you're under arrest. >> No, for what? For stealing. I I didn't do nothing. What are you talking about? On March 18th, [music] 2025, police received a report from Walmart about two suspects with a history of theft who were present in the store, and it was suspected that they were repeating the same behavior. When officers arrived at the scene, the store employee quickly reported the incident to them. Simmons was the last name. We've got multiple out of Waverly. They bagged They skip scanned stuff at the register. We got put on to them and ran their card. My boss probably has 20 cases, 15 cases that he's put in. They're over $1,000 from past thefts, and we got a dozen or more items not scanned. I just got to get the receipt, but they're both in there. But, that's about that. >> Are you from this jurisdiction? Yeah, um we we I've got Aurora pulled up. I can show you where they're in the system, what they're what they've been doing. But, um we've just been waiting. I had them in the other day, but the handheld was messing up, and it was like two items. And I was like, "Well, we'll wait and get a solid in this is actually This was $188. This one's $50, which is the lower one, $114. I mean, there's 20 20 or more cases that you guys were involved in. I know what you're trying to tell me you didn't do anything wrong, but I mean, why do you think I'm watching you? This is two cases out of Waverly. This is one That's why I mean They've been involved in 18 events. 16 from us so far that's loaded up. This one's $201. That's him pushing it out. There's her blue pickup truck. Um their total value is $1,356 at the moment. And it's it's all either not scanning stuff at the register or um scanning one, bagging two, three. We have receipts. We got to tell her All the photos. Even they had already been informed of the full extent of the damage [music] they had caused, yet they showed no shame, even when hearing about what happened today. Well, it was absolutely you guys. I mean, I'm not making it up. I watched the video. So, we You were with another person there. What we did was run We got put on to it by self-checkout host. And she said, "Hey, I don't think they paid for all their stuff," which is common how this happens. So, then we pulled the last four of the credit card, ran their name, and pulled up all their Walmart transactions. That's why we got one hit out of Columbus and a couple out of Waverly, I believe. On Facebook, it says he's from Waverly, but that's how we got their name. Uh I believe it's Heather Simmons. Well, that is old address in Waverly on his ID. Okay. And then, so we just started watching the transactions, and sure enough, every time they're in, they miss scan. She'll stand and stare at the self-checkout host. He'll do most of the bagging. >> Do Do what you got here. Yeah. And then, you know, we can we can reference the other cases of of elsewhere, and then uh the court could take that into account. Yeah, I know. But all that stuff is completely up to you. We just wanted to I'll make sure you get all that used together for the court hearing or whatever for you. What is it? I'll make sure you get all the movies put together. Okay. At that moment, the police decided to separate the two suspects for questioning, but despite the wrongdoing, the woman's attitude did not reflect that. And then we'll figure out that after this. Talk to him. I'll talk to her. Because we don't we don't have the authority to Just sit right here and talk to me. Can we get away from all the people? No. Step out here. Let's go out front. Let's go out front. I'm not going to do that for her. You can sit right here on this bench. So apparently this is a thing that happens frequently. Oh, there's cameras all over. I understand that, but I understand that also things can be missed and accidentally. I'm not saying it's always. But you can't say and say that every time we come in here we steal something. That's not right. So not that question. I'm not worried about that right this second. What happened today? No, we were just I always sit there and talk to people because I know everybody in here. So >> there and talk to everybody. What wasn't scanned? I guess a few things. It was probably some lotion, something. Um some chicken, some cheese I guess, but we paid for everything in the cart. Like I get I get that you paid for some items, but you We paid for almost all the items except for like eight things I think it was. Like Eight things is kind of a lot of things. They're not scanned. >> get that. >> How do you forget eight times that you didn't scan something? Well, he I think he gets it as he said he thinks he confuses someone else's scan when he's scanning his beside you. It was his mistake. I mean I get that, but at the same time >> line of [ __ ] is what you're doing. Not at all. So at the end of the day no. It's every single time. I don't give a [ __ ] how much you make. But listen to me. Every time you Every time you come here Every time you come here you guys are caught not scanning. Okay, that's fine. It seemed that, based on her own bias, she tried to control the police officer, but nothing could change the fact that he had already made his decision based on what she had done. I don't step back in here. You're going to go to jail today though. No, I'm not. Bet. Step inside. >> Stand up. Turn around right now. No. Yeah, you're under arrest. >> For what? For stealing. I I didn't do nothing. What are you talking about? Right now you're being detained, so stand up. >> going to be detained. Okay. Let me verify something just real quick. Today, right now she assisted in not scanning items, correct? You got the right person. You got her every time. Okay. And she She said she was looking around while he was not scanning items. Yeah, they But I talked to a lot of people here. Do I do I not know the videos? I know everybody in And it's every time they're together they're not scanning items and they're together and she's doing the same behavior. Every time. >> Okay. You're under arrest. But I talked to everybody. You're under arrest. Stand up. For theft. For You cannot arrest me. If you don't stand up and turn around you're going to be having additional charges added to your booking sheet. All right. Can I give my stuff to my husband then? No. Set it We'll hand it whatever when you get to >> a lot of my stuff in here. Can you just put it in my purse? Thank you. Turn around. You're under arrest. Did you talk to him yet? Huh? Did you talk to him yet? No, not yet. What's your phone? Okay. Just uh keep them separate while you're talking to him. I'll stay out here with your two then. In contrast to the woman, the man remained relatively calm trying to resolve everything while also taking full responsibility for his part. >> I have the cash. I didn't mean to miss it. Like honestly guy I didn't mean to miss it. Right, but you do realize that when you come in >> I get I get you what I'm saying. You will I missed that plastic thing. I missed the body wash. But see when I missed the plastic thing I knew what I did. I hid it. Right. And then I thought I hid it good. And then Right. It's not like I was just like, "Hey, you know what? No, I understand. I'm going to steal this." I understand the valiant thing you're doing man and whatnot, but I I do not believe that she did not know. >> No, she She didn't mean to >> told you to shut up and stop talking to us when you guys got in there. No, she wasn't saying that. She said I was talking too much. Mhm. Because you were doing the the not scanning and stuff. She didn't want She didn't She didn't mean it like that. No, she didn't mean it like that, bro. I promise you she didn't mean it like that. She was just telling me to shut up cuz I was talking. Pretty much saying he had She had nothing to do with it. Um he was the one that missed the items and saying that he knows that he missed them. Were they here together every Uh did you watch the video? No, I haven't. Watch today's video. And then she said she But She uh they're saying that she's like looking out for him and stuff, so What were the items? Food and stuff? Food and stuff. Food, uh pregnancy test, and The suspect continued to justify their actions as a mistake, refusing to take any responsibility, which forced the police officer to remind them of their prior history. I accidentally missed the [ __ ] today. It's not a big deal times two. It turns out to be a big deal, you know so Yeah, I get I get that, but I did not mean to miss You're You're the one where you're in our uh database over all the Walmarts. I'm in what way? Like how do you How do you honestly because you made a mistake a couple of Wait, wait. I didn't steal [ __ ] I had my daughter with me. But you said you didn't steal anything this time too. And clearly No, I I I just told you I had my daughter in here. Which she's clearly involved in everything. No, she's not involved. >> I'm not. Like I'm That's what I'm trying to tell you. I saw it and you like you kept getting mad at me. >> saying you want to answer any more questions. Be quiet. How am I supposed to continue my investigation? You got a problem with I was standing right there. Right next to him when he was scanning all the I was handing them to him. But she's how you get arrested if you talk to I'm not being aggressive. I'm telling you where my point of view is. Shut up. She had a purse that was too small. More? They're like the little baby cups. Any more? So she had nothing to do with it. Honest to God. Well In the end, the couple was arrested and charged with felony theft. A continuous and deliberate pattern of theft will inevitably be detected. Refusing to take responsibility or justifying one's actions only makes the legal consequences more severe. Worse yet, these two illegal sisters saw their American dream fall apart completely. [music] On June 25th, 2024, police responded [music] to a shoplifting report at Burlington. The suspects, two women, spoke no English. Officers approached one outside the car. She immediately exploited the language barrier to make things difficult for them. Okay. Okay. >> [music] >> The suspect was believed to be waiting in the parking lot for the other accomplice to come out so they could flee. Her constant request to use her phone only raised further suspicion from the police. >> [music] >> The device found on her person said it all. She wasn't there to shop. Indeed, reports revealed the suspect was [music] part of an organized retail theft ring targeting multiple stores that same day, and the second suspect was involved as well. >> [music] >> The suspects were charged with organized retail theft and possession of anti-theft devices, facing both criminal penalties and potential immigration consequences. This case teaches that shortcuts and deceit come with heavy consequences. One bad decision can snowball into major legal and personal trouble. What do you think about cases like this?

On June 24th, 2024, police were dispatched to JCPenney after reports that two suspects had been detained for shoplifting.
