Proof, baby. Look, >> you understand what I said. >> No, I understand what you're saying, but I'm just letting you know I was able to. >> On February 4th, 2025, police responded to an urgent call at Walmart after two women were found with carts full of merchandise, claiming to be authorized to take the items. Do you have Do you have any receipts or anything or no? Do you have any receipts? >> Pull them up. >> Police immediately took the two suspects into the security office where they began questioning them. But things did not go as easily as expected. receive messages because I've been working for these two for the longest. >> Oh, okay. We'll just go ahead and >> I got the receipts. Your name in here, too. You already know. >> All right. Well, at this point, >> yeah, well, I don't know where >> At this point, you guys are going to be detained. >> Suspicion of retail staff. >> Yep. >> Okay. We never walked out the door, so we know the rules. >> Well, you passed the last point of purchase. >> It wasn't the last point. We was at the first point. We know the rules. >> Okay. Well, I'm not going to argue with you right now. I'm just going to read you the guys rights. >> I'm not going to argue. >> No, we're we're not arguing with you. >> You have the right to stop this interview at any time. You understand? >> No. But can I say something? >> While officers read the Miranda rights, the suspect in the white shirt interrupted, arrogantly claiming she knew the rules of the game. >> Yeah. Huh? Look, I got the proof, baby. Look, >> you understand what I >> No, I understand what you're saying, but I'm just letting you know I was able to come in here freely. >> Soal just walk out of here, too. I've been coming here. Yes, sir. You can scroll down, baby. No, I have nothing on me. >> But push the messages. That's all this told me to come here to get. >> So, if we look at the cameras, we're not going to see you guys stuffing your jackets with any merchandise. >> Oh, I have no jackets. >> That's not even our jacket. >> That's not our jacket. I don't know who jacket that is. Go through all of them. And when they say item, you >> Yes, I am. You are. Her name is You have nothing. I've been working with you for 2 years. and he just told me three times. >> The woman confidently claimed she had proof, saying she knew the manager and had worked there for 2 years. After that, both suspects grew irritated as officers continued their work. >> That's right. >> And then if you go to my messages, I can tell you I've been working for them for 2 years. >> No, I'm not giving you my key. >> Don't you don't have to grab me like that. >> You don't really have a choice. >> You don't have to grab me like that. You're being aggressive for no reason. >> I'm not fighting on the phone. I'm not fighting or hiding anything. So you don't have to do all that. >> Okay. Well, we're going to look at the footage and we'll determine from there. >> I'm not being aggressive. I'm not fighting. I'm not >> shut off. >> You can read the messages. >> Me like that. >> Would the excuses of these two women stand against the surveillance cameras or not? Keep watching. >> And when they have the stuff in the apparel section in the apparel and >> they never even scanned any of this. >> They they still have more stuff in here. Check out >> they never scan any of us. >> I know my rights. >> So yeah. >> What did they pay for? >> What's that? >> What did they pay for? >> You didn't pay for none of it. From what I know, they walked out. Is >> this all of it? >> No. Well, the cart. >> The carts. The two carts. >> Walk out the door. They went through the vestib [laughter] self checks because I didn't go I didn't go through I wasn't it that's not >> okay I still work them work here. >> I will take whatever you have there. So, >> you can't take nothing out my phone, baby. I'll pay that home bill. I'm sorting off. >> Oh, no. That's fine. You can scroll through all you want. It's fine. >> It says where the money's talking. >> Oh, I got them. >> Oh, okay. I got it. >> So, it looks like they were in Davenport, too. >> And they got [music] a hit there in Davenport. >> D have nothing $800. Hello, my name is >> Cameras showed carts full of unscanned items worth nearly $800. So officers separated the suspects for questioning. >> Okay, so this is what's going to happen. We're going to separate them cuz they're when we talk to them, we're going to ask one to come out here and go from there. >> What are you guys doing here? >> Um them like I was trying to explain why she was talking. I have nothing to lie about. They already know what's going on and everything. The crazy thing about it is they caught us. We wouldn't have never been in here. Her name is, but her name in my phone is boss lady. If you scroll through my phone, all that cat food and sorry, I'm not racist, but they call it people food. So, it's like salami beef. That's all her food. I don't know why she playing dumb. The little the lady that just took the cards. >> Yeah, >> I know her, too. She's in my phone as well. >> Identify me as a cousin. Remember I said that's my cousin. He's he's his name is Big C. You just went through my phone. He just called me three times. >> I have no reason to lie. I would have never been in here until they called me to come in here. I They've been calling us and telling us to do this for the longest. So, like I told them, if I'm going down, y'all going down, too. Cuz I would never been able to come in here without y'all permission. >> She right there. She moves people around for us. >> No. No. I'm not aggressive. I'm not aggressive at all. during separate questioning, one suspect shifted all the blame to a so-called boss, insisting she had only followed phone calls and instructions to take the items. >> You're saying that you got a call from here to get the stuff that we got in that hotel that we got? Yes, sir. And I had no reason to lie or I would have never been these things. Who is >> her partner? Her too. I got stuff. >> So they told me to come in, grab these items. >> Yeah. And >> not even notify anyone. >> No one. >> And just to walk out. >> Is that what you're saying? >> Yeah. She moves people around for us. >> Okay. What does that mean? >> Move them around. She's the boss. She can move them around and tell them to break. So we can walk in the door. >> Okay. I have no reason to lie. >> Stop being in my phone. I need my phone. I hear you. All right. >> The second suspect was called in, but would her story match the first or fall apart? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> So, what are you guys doing here? >> Um, we got a call and said that she said that we were able to come in here. He needed a few things, but they needed a few things. Then we could also come in here and get some things for ourselves. >> Okay. Come in here and supposed to pay for that. I mean, they just was going to wave the door so we can go through and do what we need to do. >> Okay, just leave. >> Yeah. >> The vague claims about being allowed to take items slowly unraveled. Officers then checked their call history and reached out to their so-called boss lady only to find surprisingly it was a man. >> So, they're saying that you uh told them to come in here to gather some stuff and not pay for it. Walk out. >> No, that's a lie. >> Okay. The last time I prosecution was January 17th and I was trying to invite her over for my um birthday. >> Okay. And then you're sending pictures that she was sending you or you were sending her food item. >> Yeah. We love >> Okay. >> You know what I'm saying? Like I said, I I haven't talked to him. I'm like, "Damn." He said, "No, I do anything else." >> Okay. place drive. So, >> no worries. I just I just wanted telling us that you and Deborah are the ones who told her to come in here and grab the drive and said not pay for that. I haven't >> No, no, I I saw that you haven't I saw you haven't texted her since. >> The so-called boss lady denied involvement, claiming she had cut contact since January, but the phone records told a different story. At that point, police had no doubts. Both women were handcuffed on [music] the spy. >> Oh, that's fine. >> You going to be on my back? >> Yep. >> At this point, you're going to be under arrest. >> Okay, that's fine. >> Oh, sorry. Come on. >> No. >> In the end, both women were charged with felony retail theft and trespassed from the property. This case reminded us no excuse can erase the truth. Dishonesty always leads straight to consequences. Next, another pair of shoplifterss. And their chase was just as chaotic. >> On September 25th, 2022, police received a call from Walmart reporting a theft in progress by a male suspect. According to surveillance footage, one man had stuffed a canvas bag full of merchandise while another acted as a lookout. Meanwhile, officers waited outside, quietly watching every second of the pair's checkout routine as the trap closed in on them. Let me know if he blows past. Is everyone with him or just him? Blue bag's still in and it looks like it has stuff in it. Oh, he's got more than one blue bag. Okay. >> Okay. Which one? All right. The moment these men stepped through the exit, officers moved in to block their path. But what they did next was something the police never saw coming. How's it going? We can go in here and talk. You're going to walk in there. Stop. Do it. Stop fighting. You're making just stay down, bro. Just watch. >> [clears throat] >> The remaining suspect lingered nearby, watching everything unfold while his partner erupted into violent resistance, even bolting for the doors in a desperate attempt to escape. Get on that [ __ ] ground. Put your hands behind your back. Hurry up. Get on the ground. There's a guy out there making you 197. on the west side of Walmart. >> Hey, look. Look, let me tell you something. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Hey, please. >> Which way you go? >> I don't know where. >> Yep. He's going to drop to me. Put your hand behind your back. >> Put your hand behind your back. >> That chase had caused a lot of difficulty for the officers. While the remaining suspect believed he was innocent because he had paid for his own items, even ignoring the police's commands. >> Man, you said you were walking your friends. Take off. >> I know my girlfriend. >> Take off. You've been following back and forth with this guy. Go. I know you're with him. Leave. >> Okay. I pay for my I got money in my >> Leave. All right. You can walk around and away. >> Touch me, too. [ __ ] wrong with you, ho? >> I'm paying my girlfriend to get a car key. >> This He was with him. Why? >> Yeah. >> It was just a scuffle inside. >> Yeah. >> You need to walk away from me, man. >> You need to go >> waiting for my girlfriend, man. You staying right with me everywhere I go this way, [ __ ] Get my girlfriend for the car key with you, man. >> You want him in the store? >> You want him in the store? >> No. Just come outside. >> Why? >> Because we're done with you. >> Hey, look. >> Hey, look. I'll resist, man. Look. >> They got me right here in the They're handcuffing me, too. Stop. >> They're right here. Just come. I'm running. Grab his car. >> I'm running outside. >> Okay, we're running outside cuz they're handcuffing me for no reason cuz I went to go get you. >> Oh my god. What? What is that doing? >> And you decided that you didn't want >> There she is, man. >> Their act of stealing and covering for each other had sparked the entire incident. And the attempted escape had dragged both the officers and the suspects into a situation none of them wanted. >> Sir, is there anything that hurts on you? Anything you know is injured, bleeding? >> My head, >> your elbow, your head. >> Anything hurt on you? Anything torn, broken that you know of? >> No. >> No. >> Chill the [ __ ] out. Holden. Sit up. Sit up. >> [ __ ] hold on. My hands up. [ __ ] [ __ ] >> Sit down. >> You want to act like a kid? That's cool. I'll treat you like a kid. >> Like a [ __ ] [ __ ] fool. >> Put your feet in. >> Hold on. Blow my hands, you idiot. >> This is them walking out together at the same time right here. >> Okay. Cuz if it's felony, we can hit him with conspiracy to commit as well. >> Then yes, cuz he was for sure on the lookout. >> Okay. All right. Yeah. Just make sure. But yeah, we include him in all the video footage and uh I'll talk with the sergeant and we'll see what we can do. >> He's got five pills. >> Oh yeah, Metro >> rocks >> and um several >> bits of powder. We're waiting to get the final amount. See if it's felony or not. Also his name and I'll do links and >> uh 75207 was the total before taxes. >> How much before taxes? >> 75207. Still felony. >> [clears throat] >> There we go. Finally catching my breath. >> He was charged with shoplifting, conspiracy to commit shoplifting, resisting or obstructing an officer, trafficking in controlled substances, and possession of controlled substances. Deliberately stealing and covering for an accomplice only leads to legal trouble. Cooperating with police from the start could have prevented the situation from spiraling out of control. Next, a woman with no identity, no honesty, and no way to escape her crimes. >> Remember, everything's on camera. >> No, I get it. That's fine. But >> you lie to us. >> It's a good straight kick to the jail. >> I don't know what you're trying to get out of this. You're under arrest. >> On July 28th, 2024, police were dispatched to a Walmart after reports of a woman attempting to steal thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. Upon arrival, officers were able to track her every move through the store's surveillance cameras. Uh, >> she's doing a second return. Okay. Okay. He's trying to scan her her her digital receipt. >> Yeah. Just for the record, we have PC already for return fraud. >> Oh, he's struggled last night. It's not scanning for whatever reason. >> Where's your off guy? Is he going to help you? >> I still have not been able to locate him. He might actually be on lunch. >> We only had one today. I cannot find him anywhere. She's doing a second return for Sean. Actually, she might be doing a third return. >> Wow. Sounds like she needs to go to jail. Yeah, she's I I'm just I don't even want to know how many times she's gotten away on us. >> Tell your uh yellow vest, don't stop her. Just wave her on. >> Keep going. Keep going. >> Yeah. I swear to God if she goes into the subway, I'm going to have a freaking stroke. No, we got the crime anyway already. So, we'll just contact her in Safeway. >> All right. So, he's giving her more cash now. >> Okay. >> Can't exactly tell how much cash he's pulling out. He's not making it easy for me to count. >> That's okay. >> All right. But he did give her a receipt. So, we'll just use that receipt. She put that money in her right pocket. No, she pulled it back out. >> She's going to be gone by the time we get there anyway. >> All right. She's moving away from the customer service. She did not try to return that speaker. >> Okay. So, she's going to walk out with it then. >> Yeah. She looks like she's coming to the GM or the pharmacy site. I lied. She turned around. >> Okay. >> What the [ __ ] Yep. She's going towards grocery now. >> Grocery. Okay. >> All right. She's in front of the nail salon. >> Okay. >> She's in front of Subway. Yeah. She's coming out. She's wearing a black shirt with like a Playboy bunny on her back. >> She out the store. >> Just as the woman thought she had gotten away and walked out of the store, police quickly moved in and arrested her on the spot. Let's see how she reacted. >> Put your hands behind your back. Drop the receipts. Put your phone down. Put your hands behind your back. Do you have any weapons on you? >> No. >> Okay. You're under arrest for theft. I've been watching you for about a good 20 minutes already. >> I just paid for that though. I just went to the restaurant. >> Tried doing it yesterday, too. >> Everything was under yesterday. >> You got away. You're right. >> You're under arrest for theft. The speaker is not paid for. We know that already. This receipt shopping. You didn't select. You selected these things from the store. >> I just ped those. I got the receipt right there. >> The suspect thought she could escape the charges with the receipts in her hand as proof of innocence. But with everything police had uncovered, those very papers became her one-way ticket to jail. >> Remember, everything's on camera. >> No, I get it. That's fine. But >> you lied to us. >> It's a good straight ticket to jail. >> Look at the receipts. This is what I was saying. >> Yeah, the receipts are all fraudulent. We know already. You're not the first person that thought this up. Okay. So, anyway, you have the right to remain silent. Do you understand your rights? >> Okay. So, we're going to escort you back to the loss prevention office. >> At that moment, police realized they had only uncovered part of the truth because even the woman's personal information had been completely fabricated. Okay, first off, we have to identify you. What is this nonsense? Tessa M comes back to a Talis and Peak who's a male that's 611 175. >> Why would your brother come up as you? >> That's not my name though. I don't know why. >> I don't know either. >> There's driver status right there. >> Well, you better start thinking about different name cuz this one ain't working. You just said that that was your brother. >> No, I'm saying I don't. But if that's not me right there, >> you know, you got to keep your lies straight cuz I listen really well. >> Okay. What I'm trying to say is that his driver's status. [music] >> I don't give a rat's ass about the driver status. I want to know who you are. I'm going to run it one more time. And if not, you're you're just going to go to jail for providing false information to law enforcement. I don't give a [ __ ] about the driver's status. What is your real name? >> That's my name. >> That don't look like her. >> Oh, she's got multiple legs. >> What is your middle initial and what is your date of birth? 93. Nope. Comes back to Talison. 61175 mail. You're definitely not a male. >> Is your ID out of Washington? >> No, it's Portland, Oregon. >> It's out of Oregon. >> Yeah, it's in my purse. >> It's It's in your purse inside. >> That should be said. I'm not sure. >> So, which one of these IDs is yours? >> Tessa. >> So, how many? >> Passport to the right. >> Yeah. Who are these? >> I'm not sure, sir. >> Her scheme had already been exposed. She stole the merchandise yesterday and came back today to return it for cash. But that was exactly what the store staff had been waiting for. Is she 100% the one that tried to get out yesterday? >> Um, my card. >> She didn't change her her clothes or anything. >> Really? >> She said she tried to use her card, but everything she said >> tried to take the card out of merchandise, but there was three managers that prevented her from doing it. >> No, they didn't stop me or anything. They were just standing around me. And that's when you decided, oh, I'm not going to risk it getting caught because you were right there at the point of sale. Final point of sale to take it out, >> right? My card declined. >> Well, you still took the cart all the way to the final point of sale. >> Yeah. Who does that? >> But you have to to bring it up. >> But your card got declined. How you going to pay for it? >> You didn't leave your card. >> Okay. You're going to be booked into jail cuz that's the only reasonable way we can identify you cuz you got so many IDs. You can't find your driver's license. So that's the safest way for me cuz I don't want to get your name is not really Tessa. I don't want to get >> Tessa in trouble because you lied about your identity. >> I'm telling you the truth about my identity, you guys. It's right there. >> Which one? >> The Tessa. >> Like I said, I just grabbed that bag. >> It doesn't really look like you. >> I'm moving. Just grab that my bag. Use that bag. >> So that's $649. That's not counting the refund from >> Wow. >> $649. >> Wow. >> What? Me? >> Yeah. >> I just paid for some though. Not even close to this ain't even close to $649. >> I've never been trespassed or anything from here, guys. >> I'm going to be trespassed and cited and booked into jail. >> Even when the woman realized her plan had completely fallen apart and there was no way to talk her way out, she immediately came up with new tricks to try. >> Oh, come on. I find that hard to believe. >> Look, everything >> I've never done. Everything you said >> I've seen people >> since the time we contacted you >> with you the whole >> has either been a lie or some kind of roundabout crap. >> How has it been a lie? I've been honest about everything. >> I paid for that. >> No, I paid for some of it. As I said, >> you know what? We're not We're not dealing with semantics here. This is not an English language course. Okay. >> I've been in trouble before. I have pretty good ears. I've been doing this for 30 years. I know when people lie to me. >> What What state were you born in? >> Portland or England? >> Wisconsin. Oh my god. I was like a passport >> moraliz. What would be the difference? >> No. What do you mean? >> He He just ask you. >> I didn't hear him say >> state were you born in? I heard it. >> Okay. I'm sorry. I thought he was talking about that. >> And you said Portland, Oregon. >> That's where I'm from. I'm sorry. That's just You guys have a lot going on right now. Like >> a lot going on. I got a lot going on, too. >> I'm sorry you guys. I've never gone through this before. >> What's your last name? >> How do you spell it? >> Okay. What's your middle or sorry, what's your first name? Tessa. >> Tessa. What's your middle initial? >> M as in Mary. >> Yes. >> Why does your passport say L? >> That's not >> That's not your passport all of a sudden. >> No, I didn't say that. >> Then what? >> You guys, >> you know what? I'm just going to do the site based on what she's giving me and the jail can figure it out. You know, this could have been so easy. Had you >> answering everything? I've been telling you everything. >> Yeah, you're answering everything. That's great. But you everything's roundabout or a lie. >> It is not. >> Her identity couldn't be verified and every lie she told only made things worse. But the police had no intention of giving up. They had already decided on their next move. >> We We already looked for your ID in there. >> Like, look, >> I don't know what you're trying to get out of this. You're under arrest. >> I get that. >> We need to identify you. That's it. You're not We're not about to be Okay, you know what? We're sorry. We inconvenience you. >> No, you guys are I understand what I did was wrong. >> And that's why you're going to get booked today because they're going to take your fingerprints at jail and then they'll actually identify you. So, if you have any other warrants or anything like that, you can probably expect to sit there and serve that time for those warrants. If you have any felony warrants, what they'll do is they'll transport you to King County Jail and have you sit there. If you have any in outer state warrants, they'll extradite you back to that state and you can serve your time there. >> No. >> Okay. That's that's just what I'm telling you is going to happen. >> Okay. But I don't have that. >> Okay. Then if then you don't have to worry about it, then you're just going to serve your time for today's incident. >> What is that? What is that much time? Because I have >> I I cannot tell you. It's on the It's on the court system. >> And if I have to get that what? >> It's it's on the courts. So once once you go to jail, you're going to get you're going to have your hearing. The judge is going to determine all the facts whether to give you bail or no bail, and then they'll go from there. >> In the end, she was charged with theft, refund fraud, and providing false identification. When you [snorts] try to lie your way out, you only dig yourself deeper. The truth always catches up. And the more you run from it, the harder it hits. And now, let's meet a woman who proved just as bad as she couldn't be honest even in the end. Oh, that's [screaming] your last unit. >> supposed to play your hand, mommy. >> You're taking >> I just watched it. >> On September 6th, 2024, police received an urgent call about a woman stealing a large haul of merchandise from a Target store. Officers rushed to the scene and waited at the exit. The moment she appeared, she came face to face with the consequences of her actions. Hey, police. How's it going? Put the bags down. >> I didn't do anything. >> Oh, brother. Put your bags down. >> This is everything I came in with. >> Put your bags down. >> I did not do anything. >> I didn't do anything. >> Drop your bags, please. >> I Dang it. Do >> Let's take cordial. Okay. Just put your bag. >> Why are you >> Can you take off as well? You have to. >> That is [ __ ] >> Take your backpack off. >> That is >> Take your backpack off. You're going to go in handcuffs with your backpack on. So >> this is it. It's harassment. >> What do you want to do? >> Stop. I didn't even do anything. Go away. So you have to >> Is this Is this you guys? >> No. So the bag she's sitting on is ours. But there is >> No. I came in with all this. >> I'm going to cut this backpack off you. If you don't >> You aren't getting touched. Stop. I'm [screaming] not even doing anything. I am not doing anything. I am [screaming] not doing anything. >> Clearly, the woman refused to accept the outcome and only made things harder. Officers struggled but eventually managed to get her in handcuffs. >> You are [screaming] breaking the law. >> This is mine. [screaming] Just stop. [screaming] [screaming] in your other hand, ma'am. >> I wasn't even if you want. >> I wasn't doing anything. [screaming] >> Stop resisting. >> I wasn't I was saying all my stuff. That's all I was doing. >> Look, it's almost party. >> Right after that, police searched through her bags and quickly realized this wasn't the only store she had hit that day. >> I don't think so. >> She had this water bottle when she came. >> There's a pink one as well. >> Oh, whichever one she had when she came in. I can tell you it's mine. That's the one she had when she came in. I don't think so. That one's pink. Yeah, >> the husky stuff I think is probably Home Depot. >> Yeah, this is probably all Home Depot. >> Uh, if it's not if it's not yours, I was going to put all your merchandise here >> for a photo. Um, >> this is like all this is mine. This is the tag that you're >> Okay. All anything that's not yours, I'll take off. >> Are all these No, we only sell we sell like the the Gerber like >> this bag is going to be from wherever this stuff from. >> It could be Home Depot. >> Home Depot. >> Uh yeah, once we start all all the stuff, >> it's either Home Depot or Lowe's. Otherwise, you could just throw it in my car and I could do it tomorrow. This is you. >> Yeah. >> None of this is yours, right? None of the Husky branded stuff. >> Is this yours? >> Uh I can check and see. It's got a tag on it. >> The back uh the backpack isn't. >> No. Came in the purple and the in the husky bag. >> I searched the black bag. All these tools, these hatchets, all this stuff was in there and he said it's not. >> And the bag's brand new, too. >> The the best guess for the bag would be Home Depot. Can you find any time to exercise? >> Even at this point, she gave no admission. With all the evidence uncovered, nothing she did could change the reality she was facing. >> Determine what you took. Yes, we are. I'm >> taking I just watched it. >> They're sorting through everything because there's stolen merchandise in the car. >> There's stolen merchandise in the bags. You exited with merchandise you didn't pay for. >> Not those. That's >> They're going to go through all of it. They're going to go through all of it. >> Okay. >> Stealing. >> Okay. >> And I'm just asking. >> Are you telling me I'm crazy? >> No, I'm asking why your behavior. >> All in my head. >> No, never said that. >> I'm just trying to figure out why behave the way [laughter] you are. Is there a reason why you're crying the way you are? [laughter] >> Yeah, cuz that hurt. >> Finally, she was convicted of felony theft and resisting arrest. This case reminded us dishonesty and denial never erase the truth. Once caught, refusing to admit fault only deepens the consequences. Next, let's see how these Walmart bandits landed in a dopey dilemma. >> We're going to go to the last prevention office route this way, please. >> I'm saying that's what's >> Hey, don't get mad. You walked out with stolen merchant. >> In June 2024, in Round Rock, Texas, police received a report of a theft at Walmart. Cameras showed two women hiding items in bags before leaving without paying. Let's see how officers handle that. Two >> baskets. But the woman that's pushing the cart, she has like four bags in her basket and she's putting stuff inside of it. And the lady in the purple, she also had a basket, but she already put everything. She gave her some things and she also put stuff in her bag. >> Okay. And what the bags are just like are they like grocery bags or >> personal bag? I see. Okay. And they're just stuffing things inside of there. >> Yeah. Also in their purses as well. >> Okay. [clears throat] In their purses, too. What are the items exact? Or like I know it's probably a lot, right? >> Detergent. >> All right, here we go. They're about to move. >> 186 to 116.

What was that? >> The two suspects kept insisting some items were brought from outside, but the real shock came when meth was found in their bag. Evidence they couldn't deny. >> Step over here for me. Come over here. What's in this pocket? I need money or receipt. >> What about mayonnaise for my salad? >> What kind of meth is in here? Where' you where'd you get it? So, is this ice or is this 40% 20%? What kind of is this? It got in it. >> No. >> Okay. But it's this fetamine, right? >> What is it? >> Yeah. >> Okay. There you go.

Here's what happened next. [snorts] The camera showed the woman loading multiple items into a cart, bypassing the checkout without paying.

No, don't. >> Was that yours? >> No, it doesn't matter. >> When stopped, the suspect kept rambling incoherently as if she wasn't fully conscious, then began making excuses. >> What happened? >> You didn't pay for yourself. >> So, if I need to go do my seat, that's what I can do. >> What do you mean? What's your first name? How did you pay with it? >> Cuz my phone did. >> How did you pay with it? That's what that's why I'm asking. >> Apple Pay gang.

Right. >> What do you need a sergeant for? >> Cuz I said it cuz y'all arrested people on their own. >> Hold up. Hold up. You're going too far. The woman showed clear annoyance, demanded to see a supervisor, and launched into a string of blatantly racist remarks. >> Uh-huh. >> Y'all are rest in the wrong direction. Hold 10. >> Hold up. Hold up. Hold on. >> Let me twist my arm. >> Hold on. >> Twist. >> I'm going to take it off from you. >> Twist it. >> What do you want me to twist it for? >> You can take it off. >> I don't have to twist it.

This charge carries a potential sentence of up to 5 years in prison along with hefty fines, leaving a permanent mark on her criminal record. >> Listen, don't don't lose cop. >> Step out. You can step out now. >> All right. On May 21st, 2023, police rushed to the scene of a car crash. Instead of taking responsibility, the suspect chose to bully two young women, leaving them terrified. Watch how officers taught her a costly lesson. >> Anyways, I told my sister to call you guys, right? Already when she was already almost causing a crash. >> You stay in the car. >> No. >> Go get in the car. >> She was banging on my window, freaking opening my door, trying to She was scaring me. Like, I was literally scared for my life. >> No, I'm not. No, I'm not. They're with me. No, I'm going to tell you right now. Listen here. >> I'm going to tell you right now, okay? I'm not trying to be disappoint. >> The situation quickly grew tense as the suspect became furious, forcing officers to separate her from the two young victims immediately. What's >> going on, guys? She's She's breaking me trying to make it look like it's my fault when this girl literally almost caused me a car crash all the way on the intersection. I'm driving behind her. Literally, she kept going in front of me. I'm like trying to get away from her. She break checked me. I'm already over here trying to get over the side. >> I I know. I already called dispatch. I know you guys already on the phone with 911 before the accident. >> And they heard the accident. >> Yeah. I was going home. >> Stay here. Wait. >> No. Because she keeps coming to my car like I don't know. >> Listen, don't don't do cop with me. >> You stay here and talk to him. >> Are you the driver? >> Yeah. Can you give me your license registration? >> Two terrified teens told officers the woman had been tailing, breaking, and blocking them off before ramming their car, then laughing and pounding on their windows like a maniac. >> We were in like the middle, like in the left lane. Hay went in the right lane, honked at her, and then she sped up, got in front of us, tried to cut us off, and then she kept trying to break check us, swerve through the lanes in the middle, not let us pass. And I have a picture and a live photo of it of her swerving. We were trying to get a picture of her license for you guys. Then we tried calling and then she break checked us and we sideswiped her cuz we were trying to swerve into the media. >> We don't. She thought I was going to I'm like, bro, she was laughing about it cuz she thought I was going to be the I'm like, "Dude, we're already like we have like the phone like the call was recorded. Like they can hear the car like she can. >> While officers calmly spoke with the two girls, the oversized Karen on the other side was busy throwing a tantrum like she owned the highway. >> Know you guys are hot in those pants. >> My bald head's getting a little touchy right now. >> I'm like sweating and >> I don't have any hair to cover this. >> All right, hang tight. Okay. >> Okay. >> Officer with the bald head. What's his name? >> Rod, he's over here. So, can you please go here? If you're involved in a crash, if you're involved in a crash, you can't shut the door. Okay? >> I don't I don't want you to open my door. No. I said no. >> You can't shut the door. We need your license. I said no. We need your license. I said no. I work in the jail. I know my rights. I said no. Back up. >> Put your hands on me. You got to go. >> Okay. Back up. Back up. >> Go to jail. You put your hand. >> Back up and get off my property. Back up. >> You're going to go to jail if you're >> back up and get off my property, ma'am. Back up and get off my property. back up and get I work in the jail. I back up. >> When asked for her license, the suspect refused, slammed her door, and bragged about working in a jail like it made her untouchable. But her next stupid move would cost her dearly. >> Stupid. I'm not stupid. Hello. >> That's it. You can't You can't You can't be hitting the You can't hit the camera. >> Yeah, you can. We won't do that to do that. >> Get out of the car. >> Stop. >> Get out of the car. >> Stop. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. You need to get out of the car. >> You need to step out. You need to step out or you're going to go to the ground. >> You need to step out. Step out or you're going to go to the ground. >> Step out or you're going to go to the ground. Step out or you're going to go. >> Step out or you're going to go to the ground. Are you hurting me? Step out. >> Step out. You're going to get tased. You're going to get tased. Step out. >> Step out. You're going to get tased. >> You're going to get tased. >> All right. You're going to get tased. >> Step out. Step out. You can step out now. >> All right. There you go. On the ground. Get on the ground. Give me your hand. Give me your hand. Give me your hand. Give me your hand. After ignoring every warning, the woman smacked the camera and got tased. Yet, even in cuffs, she tried stalling with the oldest excuse in the book. I'm on my period. >> You know me and I know you. I didn't do anything wrong. These girls came up on me and they were racing me and they >> We'll work through it, but I need you to put your feet in the car. >> We'll work through it, but put your feet in the car. >> We'll work through it, but put your feet in the car. >> All right. No, because come here. >> Put that window down. >> Can I tell you something? >> No, you need to put your feet in the car. >> I I have I have my period and I don't have a tampon. >> I don't care. Put your feet in the car. We're not worried. All right. We're not worried about that right now. >> I got >> All right. You're going to get tased again if you don't the car. Well, then put your feet in. >> Once cuffed, she tried playing the I know the cops card, hoping for sympathy. But no one claims a friend like that. When it failed, she screamed, blamed everyone, and cried foul. >> Then, we'll talk. >> Watch your feet. You know I got to go home to my kids. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Seat belt on. Please don't. Don't. Don't do it. >> Relax. We're going to talk. >> Please don't. Don't do it. No. No. No. I can't do it. >> She was taken to the hospital for evaluation before heading to jail. The woman kept insulting the officers, accusing them of mocking her and warning they'd regret messing with someone from the jail, forcing police to restrain her again. >> Turn sit down. >> I don't feel comfortable. >> You want that? Nothing's going to happen. This camera's running the whole time. >> And this guy and this guy's going and this guy and this guy's going behind you. >> He's smiling the whole time like it's funny. >> This camera's running the whole time. This guy's going to This guy's This guy is going to be behind you the whole time. >> This is not funny. >> He's laughing. >> Nobody's laughing. >> No, I don't want to. >> She was charged with resisting arrest, assaulting three officers, reckless in DUI, driving with property damage, and refusing a drug test. A painful lesson that arrogance brings downfall. Respect the law before your pride puts you in handcuffs. In the next case, this woman who tried to shop but in a very different way. >> You don't put the items anywhere. And if you were just doing that, why you you do it so secretly like that? >> Wait, cannot top it. >> You know, you're actually not supposed to be here. Come on. >> On May 17th, 2025, officers rushed to Walmart after reports of a woman concealing items in her purse. Caught in the act, she busily sifted through merchandise, unaware that she had been discovered. Hey, ma'am. So, right now you're just getting detained for shoplifting. Okay. >> Oh, no. I'm buying stuff. >> Okay. So, right now you're just being detained. You're not arrested or anything. So, as of now, you are >> But I'm trying to buy >> Do what? >> I'm buying some stuff. >> Are you buying super glue? >> Yeah, I'm buying some stuff >> in your purse. >> Yeah. Super glue. >> Rinse. >> I going to buy. >> Okay. And when you're going to buy it, do you normally put items in your purse? >> Well, sometime they um like at they let you buy. >> We're 10:26 right now. >> Okay. >> So, >> but I ain't walked out the store yet. I'm feeling vi. >> So, what I'm going to tell you right now is as against the law, you can't conceal items within your purse because that is part of statute. So, as I as I said, right now you're right now you're detained. Yeah. with like a purse, like a like a a shopping bag that you buy from them. That's your purse. So, right now, you're just detained. Okay. Until we can see video footage and from there they want to press charges, they can figure that out and you can talk with them about that. Okay. >> Can I talk Can I talk to them because I I'll you know what I'm saying? Like >> we'll we'll review the video. >> Okay. >> But I want to buy the stuff. She insisted she wasn't stealing, claiming she just hadn't paid yet. But concealing items in her purse was clearly wrong, and she even tried to justify her actions. >> But I'm saying like when you go to Kroger's and Publix, you can put stuff in the bag >> in in a in a dedicated shopping bag that has been bought by them. It's a recyclable bag. That's your purse that has all your other personal items in it. >> It ain't nothing ain't nothing. It's empty. Ain't nothing in there but my phone and my money. >> With your personal items, right? So your purse, your little phone, and then everything else in there. So with the statue, it is concealing items >> in a bag. >> I want you. >> All right, we're going to go ahead and head over there so you can talk to him and everything. Okay, so >> walk with us. >> At this point, the suspect was taken to the loss prevention office where staff clearly showed her everything on the screen, yet she still tried to twist the story. >> Um, so Miss is stating that, you know, obviously, hey, I'm going to buy these. Um, I was just putting them in my purse. Uh, so I go to check out. Um, so it's probably here to dispel any kind of confusion as to why this is shoplifting. And, um, if you'd like to press charge this, ma'am. >> Yeah. So, um, did y'all get everything out of the >> Yeah, there's like a dozen items that were in the purse. >> So, I mean, you have a cart. So, the cart is what the what's, you know, let's be real. I mean, honestly, you have a cart. That's what the cart is for, not your purse. You don't put the item in your first. And if you were just doing that, why you you do it so secretly like that? That's not how people shop and get their >> That's not secretly on right there on the island. >> Okay. Um Well, yeah, I want to prosecute. So, we'll let the um the judge decide. That's fine. So, the judge may agree with you and the judge may say, "Hey, she was just putting it in her first." >> Okay. But I'm saying I got I can't pay for I was going to pay for the stuff. Like I wasn't going to walk out the store with the stuff. >> Okay. And you can tell the judge that. That's fine. >> But I'm telling you, like I really don't I got my child outside. >> Is your child in the car, Jody? >> Yeah. Like I won't pay for for the car. Can I just pay for it? >> Jody, which car is he in here? She in? Cuz we got a bigger issue now. Was what car? You said you were dropped off here. >> No, I had caught a ride. Is do you have a child outside, ma'am? >> Yeah. Yeah, with my ride. I don't know if they >> Your child's with your ride. >> Yeah, I I didn't leave my child in a car by the >> Okay. >> The management's decision had been made and the police were ready to act. Yet, the woman still refused to accept the truth, lingering as if she could handle the situation on her own. >> Joey, give me your stuff. >> What? >> Give me your stuff. >> Come on. I'm saying >> Jody, come on. >> Wait, can I talk to her? >> You know, you're actually barred from supposed to be here. Come on. >> Okay, then. >> Jody. >> Ma'am. Okay, but I'm trying to talk. Can I >> You don't need to talk to her. This is our business. >> Okay. Okay. >> You're barred from this location. Come on. >> Okay. >> Jody, come on. >> Officer has stand up, please. >> Just bring those up and get a receipt. I won't. >> This is their you you violated the the trespass. So that's on them. They they they take you for that. That's what I mean. >> I'm saying I miss I know. You know what I'm saying? Like what it look like, but I have the money to pay. >> Right. But you weren't supposed to be on the property to begin with. >> I thought they said um I was barred from OK. Well, you stole from them, too. So, you're borrowed from them, too. I would assume >> you got caught in both places. So, how >> come on? >> There's nothing else to talk about. >> I was just trying to see how long. >> Come on, sweetheart. >> We'll tell you. >> We'll tell you how long we have in the system. >> We have it on the system. How long your body? >> We'll just do this out here. That way, ain't nobody else around. Okay. >> So, will I get out tonight? >> Probably. During the walk to the patrol car, officers continuously informed her of what she was about to face. [music] But by then, her worry for her fate had come far too late >> for criminal trespass. Yeah. >> You know how long? >> I mean, here in Athens, it's usually pretty quick. Like 24 hours or less. >> 24 hours. >> I mean, that's a day. >> I don't want to do a day. >> I don't want you to do a day either. >> I ain't going to get no B when I get there. >> You should. You don't have any pockets, do you? Mm-m. >> Okay. >> You don't have anything on you that you don't want to take to the jail? >> So, what are they charging me with? >> Um, criminal trespass due to the barring and uh shoplifting. Obviously, I don't know how many counts that you have, whether it be a misdemeanor or a felony. I think it's up to like four. You have to shoplift like four or five times before it's a felony. >> It's not that many. >> Okay. So, it just be a misdemeanor shoplifting. >> Will you think I get a bunch today? >> I should be able to. I don't know. The woman was charged with criminal trespassing and retail theft. By refusing to face the truth and trying to justify hiding items in her purse, she revealed a lesson. Excuses cannot erase wrongdoing, and denial only ensures harsher consequences. >> What happened? You're being detained for a investigation. >> What happened? I don't have nothing. >> I don't have anything, sir. On April 19th, 2024, undercover officers closely watched three women working together to steal from True Religion. Here's what happened next. >> Right there. >> Okay, let's make contact when they uh when they're heading out. >> All right, we're moving the contact. The one with the black shirt. >> I'm 102. Not.

Two more suspects were still inside trying to remove the security tags from the merchandise. >> Yeah. >> Red. Stop. >> What happened? >> You're being detained for a theft investigation. >> Oh, okay. >> Stop. Stop. >> Give me. >> All right. So, we're about to find out. >> I think we got all three good things. Police quickly took down all three suspects. Although they're in Kifat, though they kept insisting they had done nothing, the evidence in their hands said otherwise, and the women were immediately escorted outside. >> Yeah, let's go ahead. My car is out here. Where where is your car at? >> Way on the other side. Okay, let's go up here to our car. >> Hey Josh, that's 104.

You have the right to talk to your lawyer before and during questioning. Do you understand? >> Yes. >> So after reading your rights, you wish to speak to me about today. Just a few questions I have. It's up to you. >> He said you have a few questions. >> I have a few questions. >> Microphone on or off? >> Huh? >> Microphone on. Off. >> Yes or no? >> You don't want to talk to me? You talking about before or after you asked the question, >> huh? >> Before after you asked >> whatever you want to do. Are are you done with my questions? Okay. >> In the end, all three women were charged with grand retail theft for stealing over $826 worth of merchandise, and two of them faced added charges for possessing anti-shoplifting devices. This case proved that no trick or device can outsmart the law. Every theft, no matter how small, ends with justice. Next, meet the woman whose attitude turned a simple traffic stop into a full-blown disaster. I >> want your supervisor. >> You are under arrest. >> You're I'm not under arrest. I'm a teacher. Do not touch me. I have >> ma'am. You got to get in the car. >> On October 13th, 2024, police unexpectedly spotted a speeding car. Inside was a woman driving with her 2-year-old child in the back seat. The mother's defiant reaction made the situation tense for no reason. >> Turn your car off. >> Delta, >> where are your keys? >> 14. >> I didn't know you were following me. I'm trying to get out the way. >> No, you weren't trying to get out of the way. You just continued driving. >> I didn't know you were trying to pull me over. I was just just trying to get out the way. My daughter doesn't have any more diapers and I'm just trying to get home. >> You weren't trying to get out of the way. You stayed in the same lane. >> Did you not see my lights and sirens? >> I wasn't sure if you were trying to stop me or anybody else. >> Did you see my lights and sirens? >> I saw your lights and sirens. I moved out the way. >> What are you supposed to do when you see lights and sirens? >> Move out the way >> and what? >> Just move out the way. I pull over. >> I wasn't sure if you were looking for me. >> What did I do? >> You're speeding. >> I was not speeding. >> You were speeding? >> No, I have my daughter in the car. I was not speeding. You were 30 over the speed limit. You were 75 when you passed me. >> No, I was not. >> License, registration, insurance. >> I was not. >> License, registration, insurance. >> When officers signaled her to stop, she drove a mile before pulling over, insisting she wasn't speeding and was just getting out of the way. Radar showed 75 in a 45. She refused ID and demanded a supervisor. I'm >> sorry, I was not >> for the third time. License and registration. No, I would like to speak to a supervisor. >> And I would like to record this. >> You're more than welcome to. >> My husband was literally right in back of me and I was not speeding. >> You passed me. He was speeding, too. >> He was not speeding >> for the fourth time. I need your license or registration or I'm going to take you to jail. >> You're going to take me to jail? >> I'm going to take you to jail if you don't give me your license. >> I have my daughter in the car. You're really going to do that? >> I'm going to take you to jail if you don't identify. >> You're going to literally take me to jail with my with my 2-year-old daughter. I've asked you four times for your license. I'm going to take you to jail. >> And you're going to give me a speeding ticket when I was not speeding. >> I'm going to take you to jail. >> I was literally doing 40. >> Are you going to give me a driver's license? >> No, I'm not. >> Step out of the car. >> No, I'm not. >> Step out of the car. >> No, I'm not. >> Step out. >> Step out of the car. >> No. >> You can get a supervisor. >> Step out of the car. >> No, I do. I am not going to step out the car cuz my 2-year-old is in the car. >> Step out of the car. >> I am not stepping out the car cuz my 2-year-old is in the car. Officers ordered her out of the car, but she refused to cooperate, using her toddler as an excuse. When warned of arrest, she played the race card, turning a routine stop into chaos within seconds. >> I want your supervisor. >> You are under arrest. >> You're I'm not under arrest. I'm a teacher. >> Out of the car. >> No, I'm not getting out the car because my 2-year-old is in the car. >> Get out of the car. >> No. Get your supervisor. >> I'm going to yank you out. >> Get your supervisor. I'm going to yank you out. >> Get your supervisor. You're not going to touch me. Get your supervisor. Why? Because I'm black. >> She barricaded herself inside the car, shouting, "I'm a teacher. I know the law." And resisted arrest, forcing officers to step in and take her down. >> Get out of the car. >> Why? Because I'm a different color. No, you're not going to touch me. >> You're not going to touch me. I have my 2-year-old in the car. What the hell is the problem? >> No. What the hell is this problem, >> man? Get out of the car. the car. Can I explain something? >> Out of the car. Out of the car. Do not >> touch me.

Are you kidding me? >> Stop. >> No. What the hell, >> ma'am? >> Are you arresting me for what? >> No. Are you the super? >> Yes. You're going to jail for resisting. Stop. >> I'm not resisting. >> Stop. You're doing it right now. Stop. >> I have >> I don't care. We will take care. We will take care of them. But you're not helping the situation. >> No, you won't. >> You're not taking care of your own child by doing this. Okay. >> Okay. Relax your arms and we will get you handcuffed and then we will talk. >> I am trying to explain to him. >> If you would have just let us get you under handcuffs, then we could have done that. >> If you will listen, can you listen? >> During [snorts] the struggle, she punched an officer in the face. A move that sent everything spiraling out of control. Even after being handcuffed, the woman kept screaming non-stop. >> I am telling you nicely. >> I am telling you nicely. My 2-year-old is in the car. You did not tell me to pull over. >> That's what the license sirens mean. >> I did not know that. >> What I assume >> So, right now, you're being placed under arrest for resisting a battery on a law enforcement officer. >> Battery? >> Yeah, you punched me several times. >> I did not punch you. >> No, I did not.

Anything? >> Can I get the baby, please? >> I need you to get your car out of the road first. >> But can I get the baby? >> Get your car out of the road first. >> Stay back. Stay back. >> You're hurting me. Stop running around. >> You're hurting me. You're trying to help me comfortable. >> No, you're hurting me. You're hurting me. I'm just trying to turn around and talk to the supervisor. >> We will relax. >> Her husband arrived begging to take their child home, but officers explained she was under arrest for assault and resisting. Despite that, she kept shouting while her breath test showed clear signs of alcohol. >> Everything we do is recorded on body camera. >> Yeah, but you guys pulled her out. >> Are you guys going to like help us out with the kid here? Is that your reason for being here? Is it to argue with me? >> Is why you got to >> I'm just asking. I'm just asking, buddy. >> You're asking and I'm asking. Why'd you take her off the far? >> You cannot afford. >> If you cannot >> take my daughter, please. We're going to take >> No, we're not walking over there. Get off of me. >> Stop. You need to relax.

So, >> but we're not walking up there, guys. We're staying here. >> Put the baby in the car. You keep the foot off. Listen, keep walking. If you guys want to make the situation worse than when we will get Department of Children Families, >> even with the supervisor there, this angry pumpkin of a driver kept arguing non-stop. Easily one of the biggest, loudest meltdowns cops had seen on the road. >> Where the am I going to go? >> Grab this arm. >> Relax, guys. Relax for two seconds. We're going to wait for this county deputy, the female to get here, and then we will put her in the car. >> Yes. Okay. >> I would like a female. >> Because you guys are abusing your power. >> Are you a father? Are you a father? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> I have two young. >> I am trying to get home because my daughter has no more diapers. >> Okay. >> That is all. >> Okay. >> That's all. >> Okay. >> So, why am I being pulled over? >> Can you please explain? >> It was explained to you. >> No, it was not explained to me >> multiple times. >> No, it was not. >> Where am I going to run? Over the fence? >> Ma'am, you've been flaring your arms everywhere. I don't I really don't know. I really don't know. >> Are you Spanish? >> No, I'm not. >> That's why. >> I'm not sure. >> I speak I'm sorry to do with anything. >> Hispanic people speak with their their hands and because my hands are detained. >> If you're in in handcuffs, you cannot be flaring your arms around >> and and battering an officer. You realize you did you punched officer? No. Really? >> No, I did not. Okay. Well, body cam. >> You want me to If I was to punch him, I'll knock him the out. Do you really want me to try me? Do you really want to try me? I'm a teacher. Okay. I teach third grade. >> Okay. >> I have my 2-year-old in the car. I am just trying to get my 2-year-old home. Look at the time. I just came from a business event. >> And you really trying to detain me for what reason? I saw the alarms, but did you say pull over? >> Ma'am, do you have a Florida driver's license? >> Yes, I do. >> Okay. So, >> I just moved here. >> Okay. When you get your license, they teach you that you have to pull over when you hear when you see lights behind you. >> Well, I I was never told that. >> Okay. Well, then I don't know how you got your driver's license then because they teach >> because I came from New York. It was just a transfer. >> We don't know what New York she's lived in, but the law there does not require officers to yell or use their speakers specifically to enforce a stop. >> I want the supervisor. >> Okay. Here's my supervisor here. Okay. >> I would like to speak to >> I am the supervisor. I'm Sergeant. Hi. How are you? >> Yes, ma'am. Good. >> Do you Are you a father? >> Yes. How many kids do you have? >> Two. >> And how would your kids like to see your >> Well, ma'am, if we ask you to get out, ma'am, if if we ask you to get out of the car and out of sight of your child. >> Okay. >> In the end, the so-called teacher who knew the law was charged with resisting arrest with violence, battery on a law enforcement officer, child neglect, DUI with a minor in the vehicle, and fleeing police. A brutal lesson in what not to teach by example. Now move on to the back to school shoplifting spree gone wrong. >> Stop. Stop. Come over here. No death. Nothing Nothing crazy like that. >> On August 12th, 2023, officers were dispatched to the mall after receiving reports of a retail theft involving three female suspects, including a student. This is the full sequence of events. >> Stop. Stop. Stop. Come over here. >> Walk over here. Hey, find the third. >> Get her, Jeff. >> Drop your bags, please. >> All right. Right now, you're just being detained. We're We're conducting an investigation. Okay. Put your hands behind your back. >> Oh my god. >> Put your hands behind your back. Don't resist. >> The officers intercepted two suspects as they attempted to leave. One of them showed signs of resistance, forcing police to handcuff her immediately. Um, so I got to read you your rights before I talk to you at all. Um, you're you're being detained for a theft investigation. >> Death? >> Theft? Theft? No death? Nothing. Nothing crazy like that. No, no. >> So, you have the right to remain silent. Do you understand? >> Anything you say may be used against you in court. Do you understand? >> What's that? >> I can't I can't go to jail. I never I can't. >> You've never been in trouble before? >> No. No. I've got a ticket for speeding. >> I ran a stop sign. Yes. >> You never never even got like a court date like that? >> No. I went to court for driving without license when I first never had my license. >> Whose idea was it for you guys to come out here and do this? >> Just being stupid. Back to school. >> I need to get my niece an outfit. >> I know. >> Trying to get your sister an outfit. >> My niece. >> Your niece. Gotcha. Uh, is one of them your niece or she's not here? >> She's not here. Yes, one of them is my niece, but that's not my niece. >> Not who you were going to get it for. Were you all trying to get it for your niece or just separate? >> I don't know what. I was by myself. >> Like we were together, but I was by myself. >> The woman accidentally admitted she had made mistakes before, but got away due to system loopholes. She then tried to justify her foolish act as buying clothes for her niece. But is the truth really that simple? >> But you're you're all on video and everything. Is this your shirt even? No, I leave tags on all my stuff. >> You just leave tags on? >> Yes, because I like my closet to look new. >> I got you. Um, yeah, you guys were on video. We have witnesses saying that you guys are stealing from a bunch bunch of different stores. Uh, and obviously you've got a bunch of bags here. No receipts. Is anything here paid for? >> Yes. >> What what's paid for? >> What's paid for is um H&M is paid for? >> H&M? Do you guys have the receipt? >> No, I was >> Do you guys Do you have a wallet? Were you intending to pay for anything? Yes, >> you were. >> Yes. >> But how come you didn't pay for it? >> I just didn't pay for the skirt. >> Everything else if I was going to return. >> Everything else you were just returning stuff. >> So if I look in that bag, it's just going to be a skirt. >> Yes. And H&M >> and then H&M stuff. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> Literally, it's just a skirt >> separate. >> Yeah. I have to go to work. >> Okay. Um, never been in trouble before. >> Never been in trouble before. >> Have you Have you ever stolen before and gotten away with it? This is your first time trying to do this thing? >> No. Okay. Cuz I don't recognize you. Normally we have the repeat offenders who are always stealing all >> I've never been to jail. >> Okay. >> I've never been in a backup police car. >> What about your sister? Has she ever been in trouble for it? >> A long time ago. >> A while ago. Okay. >> The suspect insisted she had paid for the items and swore she only took a single skirt. But her claim of never being caught before would not save her this time as store reports and surveillance footage told the full story. Officers then proceeded to question the next suspect. >> So, whose idea was it to come out here and do this stuff? >> I don't think it was I don't think it was your sister's cuz she's never been in trouble. She's I've never seen her before doing this kind of thing. I don't think I've seen you either. Um, was it your idea? Was it Whose idea? >> It wasn't really an idea. Kind of just happened. >> It just kind of happened like you guys got together and decided to come take stuff without paying. >> No, not like that. We came to the mall and just wasn't really planned. >> So, so at New Balance, we have we have video and witnesses saying that you guys were stealing stuff. They saw you. Um, these two were like handing you items and you were putting it in your bag. Is that stuff here or is that stuff in the car? I think I see some New Balance stuff in there. I haven't even searched through them yet. I will be searching through them. But >> so when we look in these bags, there's not going to be any other from like any other merchandise from like Adidas or Under Armour or any other place other than Nike, H&M, New Balance, or Tommy. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Charlotte. >> And what? >> Charlotte. >> Charlotte. What is that? Is that That's the name of the store. >> Oh, Charlotte. Okay. I don't think I've heard of that one. Okay. Have you ever been in trouble for for theft or stealing? >> Yeah. A long time ago. >> A long time ago. How long? Like a year? >> Like seven years. Seven years. How come uh how come you didn't like learn your lesson from seven years ago? >> No. When questioned, the suspect claimed this theft was just a sudden burst of greed. But things got worse when officers listed the many stores they had stolen from, proving her criminal history had taught her nothing. Truly unbelievable. >> Yes. Do you have a receipt, email, anything saying that you exchanged it? I know you were telling me. >> Yes, I have an email. >> Is it on your phone or? >> Yes, it's on my phone. >> Do you want to show me? If you can show me that, then I'll go. This will go right back with you. >> Yes, I can show you. >> You have your phone or is it in here? >> It's on my phone. >> It's all the same ads. I don't know where it's at, but it has to be in my email cuz I didn't get a paper receipt and I used a car. >> Okay. Um >> going H&M, you can do all that. I promise. I'm telling you. That's just just the skirt. >> Just that one. Okay. You can go back. Have a seat. So, I know you guys went at the H&M. There's a ton of H&M stuff. Uh was any of that paid for? >> You don't know? Okay. There's like security tags and no receipts or anything. Your sister was saying that she has receipts on emailed to her on our phone. She showed me your phone. We went through the emails. There's no receipts or anything. So, what we're about to do, we you guys can sit here for hours while we go through footage of H&M or you can just tell us that none of that was paid for and we can skip forward some of the hours um of watching the video footage. >> So, was any of that stuff paid for from H&M? >> Mine wasn't. Well, my hat was. >> Even with clear reports from the stores, officers still sought more evidence from the two girls. But all he got was a neverending string of lies. Right after that, when officers searched the bag, they discovered a roll of foil used to disable security sensors, a trick commonly seen among professional shoplifters. >> So, you have a whole bunch of aluminum foil. What boosters like shoplifterss do is have aluminum foil to block the uh sensors from alarming the security sensors. You have a whole bunch of them all lined up in your in your purse that you have. >> What was what was those for? >> For what? Continuing their search of the car, officers seized multiple bags without receipts and still bearing security tags, bringing the total hall to nearly $2,000 worth of goods stolen from nine stores with over 20 items and anti- theft devices. >> All right. Now, now I know it's way more than what we initially thought. In the end, two suspects were taken straight to jail on charges of multiple counts of retail theft, use and possession of anti-shoplifting devices, and grand theft of $2,000 worth of merchandise from nine stores. The remaining suspect, being a juvenile, was transported to the juvenile assessment center. What do you think about these shoplifterss? Share your thoughts in the comment below. And now, let's meet this extremely deceitful woman. You're putting your personal money >> into their cash registers, >> smaller bills, >> and you're taking money out of their cash register >> to the cashier. >> On October 17th, 2024, deputies received a call from a car dealership after discovering that employee Nikkira Sims had taken money from the register. During questioning, police realized this suspect was not as simple as they first thought. >> All right, so my name's Officer Navaro, the Lever Police Department. Officer Gazinski, do you have any idea why we're here? >> No. No. Okay. Do you know there's cameras in here? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Everywhere. >> I know. >> Where you're sitting? >> Yes. >> Where you work? >> I know. Everywhere. >> Okay. So, you have nothing to say. >> All right. So, get up. Put your hand my hair back. >> For what? >> I'm not going to ask again. >> Mom, what's your phone number? They talking about put my hand >> to 49. I'll call you right back. >> Yes. Mom, what's your phone number? I need to know your phone number. I don't >> You're going to be able to get your phone in a second. >> Okay. He said I'll be able to get my phone in a second. >> Yeah. I'm just going to call 49 real quick. >> Oh, you can't be on your way, Mom, cuz I don't know what's going on. >> Actually, you can take us. Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. >> The woman [snorts] was handcuffed on the spot after deputies revealed the real reason behind her situation. And it wasn't just about taking money >> over here. So, there's camera footage here of you taking money out of this backpack, putting it into a cash register, and then taking money out of that cash register and putting it into this bag. >> Getting changed yesterday when I got changed. >> Out of your personal bag? >> Yes. Getting changed? I've done that before. >> $260 of change. >> I was getting change for 100. I'm just asking. >> And I had Yes, I got change yesterday. >> Okay. Is there any reason why those bills then? So you you're saying you received that in a transaction? >> No, I got money from my brother. So my brother, me and my brother, we were staying together. Okay. >> He ended up leaving. >> So it's your personal money. >> Yes. >> So you think you can get bring your personal money and take it out with Nissan's money? >> Getting changed. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's what that's the same thing. You're you're you're putting your personal money >> into their cash registers >> for smaller bills >> and you're taking money out of their cash register >> to the cashiers yesterday. >> Who? So, you're saying you got approval for this? >> Yes. From who? >> I was like, "Hey, do you guys have change?" And they were like, "Um, you can get it out of there." >> I'm just asking who gave you approval to do this. >> I spoke with Angie and Angie and Jackie, they were in there and I asked them for change. And they were like, "Oh, no. We don't have any change, but you can get it out of there." Would there be any reason why she would have permission to do this? >> The woman thought she was just swapping her cash for smaller bills, but in reality, that exchange turned real money into counterfeit, >> guys. Okay. Okay. Well, the bills are counterfeit. So, the bills are not real. Technically, you know that >> that's not technically you stole $260 from Nissan. You put fake bills into their cash register, sir. >> No, they were fake. It was just money that my brother gave me. I'm like, "Okay, >> I understand." But listen, I I understand all that, but let's be real. Doing that is no, that's not even reasonable. No, no, no. Doing the whole I'm getting changed from my from my from Nissan's cash register to mix my own. Like, I think you're old enough to know that doesn't even make sense. Like, you shouldn't even be doing that at all. Wherever. This is your place of employment. This isn't your bank. So, this isn't a place for you to be doing those transactions. Especially when I mean I saw the video so it's not like and you can say what you want but I saw you on video doing exactly that. All right. So right >> everything became undeniable when the Bills tested counterfeit and further checks revealed she already had a prior theft conviction earlier that same year. That was the moment deputies decided to take her away immediately. In the end, Nikira Leah Renee Sims was charged with felony possession of more than 10 counterfeit bills and misdemeanor petty theft under $750 and was formally trespassed from the Jenkins Nissan dealership. This case reminds us deceit always backfires. Nikira's counterfeit scheme and past crimes caught up with her, proving no one escapes the law. Now, meet the woman who was caught red-handed using her tricks. >> I'm not positive cuz like I said, you can't see everything she's concealing. Yeah. No. >> All right. We got her. >> On November 9th, 20121, officers rushed to a mall for an active shoplifting case with the suspect's every move under watch. Here's what happened next. >> Hello. >> Coming in right now. >> She got some. >> Where's she at? She's up in Polo. If you come out out the door here, take a left, go straight down, take a right, she can be right there, >> actually. >> So, it's on the second floor. >> Yeah. >> How do you do want us to make contact now? >> Yeah. >> You guys prefer to wait until she leaves. >> Wait till she leaves that way. Yeah. She She going to court. She can't say, you know, I didn't pass my phone. >> Hey, so she's going to be on the second floor. It's going to be a black female heavy set stuffing items into her bag. Um, they want to wait. White shirt, black pants. They want to wait until she uh >> The officers decided to wait patiently until she stepped out of the store to secure solid evidence. Meanwhile, her bag grew bigger by the minute, keeping police locked on her every move. >> She's sticking it in the top. It may be it's not uncommon or it's not super common, but sometimes they use razor blades. You see, she's sticking. It's like some kind of hook that she stick here and take the sensors off. >> And she's concealing the rocks. >> She keep going in and out of her shirt. >> Crazy. This is how criminals do Christmas shopping. >> But I'm not positive cuz like I said, you can't see everything she's concealing. >> Yeah, but Oh, yep. >> She just put something else in the air. >> Yep. >> She's nervous. I think she might go out upper. I think she's just going to look for the closest door. She's going to go down. >> Felt small. She's on that escalator heading downstairs. >> As the suspect rushed for the nearest exit, officers closed in fast. She just walked out. No, we're under merchandise. Have a seat. >> Do you have your ID with you, ma'am? Is it in your bag? >> Is it in your purse? >> Yeah, we got it. The suspect began to appear nervous when officers started asking for information and searching through her bag. Watch what happened next. I think that's everything. Turn around back. >> Is this what we saw? This right here. >> Yeah, that's it. >> Like, >> this is supposed to be toenail cutters, but snip stuff. And then this goes inside. >> Yep. To take the sensors off. I >> I guess I'm going to come over the camera here. >> Okay. During the on-site search, they seized all the merchandise along with a tag removal tool disguised as nail clippers. Yet, the suspect insisted she had paid and had a receipt. >> Oh, okay. >> 1622. >> Let me put that amount. >> Okay. >> You have a receipt that's dated and time stamp for today. >> For today, >> it was bought. No, it wasn't for today. It was just in that bag, but I got the receipt for that. It was I swear to God, it was bought off my car. You can see >> you paid for that. >> How long ago? >> When When did you buy this? >> Four days. >> Four days ago. And it happens to be in the same bag with the merchandise that you stole today. >> I bought that bag in here. You can look at your camera and see. I bought that bag in here with that in there because I was returning I came [snorts] here originally to return a purse that I bought off of here. If you would have seen my purse. >> The store confirmed the stolen merchandise totaled $1,622. Yet the woman desperately swore to the end that she had paid and it was all just a mistake. >> Do you have proof that you did already buy that? >> Besides from our from our debit card and it's it's been paid for. I promise you. >> I know. But I understand >> because you have a dealer's merchandise say that these pants are bought. It just says a random dealer. >> No, those pants were bought. >> Pants from dealers in an Old Navy bag with merchandise that you stole from belts today. She had a receipt in her purse that she pulled out, tried to tuck in into that bag to look like she was paying for it. >> She probably used it at another store. >> I came in here with a purse. Okay. I had that in the Old Navy bag with those. And I had that purse in here. I returned that. See, that's proof of the purchase right down the back. The yellow sticker. No, look on the back of the thing. You just looked back. >> That's proof of purchase. That's what they put on there. >> Proof of purchase required for return. Yeah. That's when you steal it and you go in and you try to say, "Hey, I bought this, but I lost my receipt, so can I return this?" And then they, it doesn't matter. She's already going to jail. It was over a felony amount. >> In the end, the woman was charged with felony shoplifting worth over $1,600 along with possession of tools for the commission of a crime. She was handcuffed and taken straight to jail. Were you impressed with this security team? Leave your comment below. Next, will her tragic story be enough to escape the law? >> Yeah, >> she drops it there. She's going to pick it up again and fold it. >> Okay, so that money you were using to donate towards your father's cremation. >> January 13th, Home Depot calls police. A cashier's dishonesty caused massive losses. The investigation revealed shocking truths. Here's how officers dealt with her. You've been working with us for 3 months and over the 3month period you go into the register just take cash out of the register. We have it on video. We have documented 17 they're doing a termination on right now. So once they terminator I'm going to bring it to you so you got to do over the 3mon period we have from 11921 175522. He's got it all on a thumb drive for you all document. Here's basically [clears throat] synopsis of what led to the original confirmed that problem was Christmas hit and during Christmas I should just hang this up. So we stopped the investigation of Christmas but he continued it in the store. So not everything's on this packet but it's on his thumb drive and paperwork that he has. Okay. The manager quickly revealed that a cashier only 3 months on the job had been stealing cash from the register. With paperwork, proof, and 17 incidents caught on video, the following footage shows her foolish acts. >> She's going to leave one right here and fold it with her fingers. >> Are you clock in or out? >> You're still in. Okay. >> Just give a few seconds. See how it's tucked under? >> Yeah, it's tucked under. Yeah, >> she drops it there. She's going to pick it up again and fold it. >> She pinched it. >> Yeah, I see it. Yeah, >> she's quick. That's why I asked her when I was interviewing. I'm like, "Where were we before here?" >> Because like she did it before. Does she have any prior? >> Um, no. She doesn't have uh really any history. So, it's, you know, >> she caught on quick. That's the scary thing. Like she was like she going to put the our systems and stuff. >> She goes in and right in her pocket. >> Oh yeah. >> Can't see it. >> There you go. Folded one right there and tucked it into her palm. >> That one you can still see the tip of the money sticking out in her hand, too. >> Yeah. Yeah, you can see it. Yeah. It's like separated from the rest. >> She's very cooperative, wasn't she? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she's very well man, too. >> Yeah, >> she was ready to go. >> She's smart. She's smart, too. [bell] >> She puts that. >> So, she's still got it in there. >> Still got it in her palm. >> Yeah. >> And then right in her pocket. >> Detailed evidence showed her swiftly hiding cash in her apron or pockets during every shift. Shockingly, she kept repeating it until the losses [music] reached thousands of dollars. This is what she admitted when the manager caught her red-handed. During my conversation with um we asked what transpired and what actions she took. She acknowledged both written and verbal that she would um open the register doing cash strip voids, remove funds from the register and conceal them in her apron or in her pocket. She stated the reason she did that is she had a family member that passed away and that she had to help them pay for some funds. When asked how much she took, she stated she thought approximately $5,000. However, documented on paper was just shy of $1,800, which we have CCTV and documentative uh document documented reports of. >> Okay. Um and she was hired just as a standard cashier. >> She is a part-time cashier. >> Okay. All right. Um anything else? >> She's been with us about 3 months and per her self admission, she's been doing it since she's been with us. It was clear this wasn't a spur-of the- moment act, but deliberate. [music] She had been stealing since the day she was hired, and surely this wasn't her first time. Police continued questioning the suspect. Let's see what excuse she gave. >> So, can you tell me what happened? What's going on? >> Like, when I like I've been, he said I've been working here 3 months, I guess. That was cuz I came in November, right? >> Like when I just worked like I was just taking the funds just so I could like do my granddad for his cremation. So you took this job for your for who? >> No, like I was working like it's just working, but no, like with this it's like I was taking the funds out of my grandfather's cremation. >> So your father's cremation like that? >> Yeah, my grand >> What do you mean you were taking funds? Uh what do you mean? >> Like the money from the registers? >> All right. The money that you were stealing from the register. Okay. So that money you were using to donate towards your father's cremation. She claimed it was for family hardship, saying the money went toward her grandfather's funeral expenses as a so-called [music] contribution. Unbelievably, she even bragged about her tricks to skim cash without the slightest sign of worry. >> Yeah. Did the register. How would you do this exactly? >> Like it was like we got to like the register say do like a cash strip >> like fold. >> Cash drop. >> Yeah, you can say cash drop. Same thing. >> Or strip. You said strip. Okay. >> Okay. And so what does a cash strip mean? >> It's like [ __ ] It's like when the registers like you have to they only can have a certain amount in register. So like if you have like $1,000 you have to drop five or it normally be more than a thousand but it'll tell you how much you have to drop. So we like it's like hundreds 50s then 20s 10 fives ones and like change. You shouldn't have nothing in your hundreds and 50 spot. You should only have 20s 10 fives and ones. >> Oh okay. >> Yeah. And so when you have uh excess money in your in your register, you have to do a strip to >> you just have to like send it up to the office or I don't know what >> So what would happen normally if you know um you weren't stealing the money but you know you you understood that there you needed to do a strip on your register. What who would take the money? >> Nobody. We have to put it in like like if it it's like this shift daytime you just put it in like a a bottle and you send it up. But if you do night shift you have to just keep it under the register. >> Oh okay. All right. So they have like a specific means for collecting the money and then but it's not to go like in your pocket or something. Okay. All right. And so what what's usually the amount that it requires you to do a strip or is there any amount? >> No, it's not no amount. So like how muchever 20 like how muchever hundreds and 50s you just put in. So if you got like 1000s you'll put 1000s. If you got 350s you'll put 350s. Okay. >> And the computer calculated out by itself. >> Okay. All right. And so but you were just stripping the the register but then you know not setting it up. You're just >> like I was like like I'll just take a $100 and then I'll send the rest. Like that's serious. >> During questioning, she claimed to have taken $5,000, though only $1,800 was proven, even detailing her cash drop scheme. But when she begged to pay it back to avoid charges, officers made it clear things wouldn't end that easily. >> Can we go out this door? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. And this way? >> Yeah. Yeah. Make a right. I'm >> Oops. >> These all ones. >> Yeah. >> Are these credit cards in your name? >> Yes. >> What's your name? >> Don't need your name. >> Guys, do you have anything in your I'm sorry. Do you have anything in your your locker that you need to have? >> No, I never use my locker. >> Okay. All right. We got 110 105 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 5 26 $27. Any other cash? >> No. >> All right. >> In the end, the cashier was charged with grand theft of over $5,000. She now faces up to 5 years in prison, heavy fines, and a permanent criminal record. ending her short career in disgrace. Do you think this sentence is enough to deter such reckless behavior? Share your thoughts in the comments below. Stole and showed no remorse. >> How are you? I'm not I'm not okay. Wait, wait, wait. You got to talk to me. You got to I'm shut up. [screaming] >> On August 30th, 2025, police received a call from Walmart reporting a shoplifting incident. Worse, the woman even attacked an employee before fleeing. When officers arrived, they trailed her into the parking lot where she fought back with violent resistance. >> Hello, ma'am. How are you? I'm not I'm not talking. >> Okay. Wait, wait, wait. You got to talk to me. You got to talk to me. >> I'm shut up. How can you touch me? I I'm allowed to touch. You cannot without without permission. You get up. Don't you >> The woman clearly showed her sense of having rights and her violent resistance made the police try very hard to handcuff her. What's their location? >> Security stating at the back wall and that Alpha 3 is currently physically fighting with that individual. >> Got one on that out there. My headph. Steve. >> It was clear that the woman didn't realize her actions were wrong as she even wondered why this was happening. Not enough. Get in your circle. >> What is that? [screaming] >> Calm down. >> This off. He tore my head so badly. >> Take this off. >> Keep your arm here. Stop. >> Stop resisting. >> Okay. >> She's been trespassed before, so we'll start with that. Okay. You know, you >> Yeah, I do. >> You guys have information on her or no? >> Shut up. Shut up. >> Shut up. Inside the patrol car, the woman's rage erupted in a flood of cursing. Likely because this shoplifter didn't want to be treated like a criminal. >> I hate you. >> [screaming] >> 911. Mother Sorry. [screaming] 48 years. Marlo coming up. >> At this point, the officers reassessed the situation and even the manager stated that this was not their first encounter with the woman. >> Don't know any of this. >> All I know is that they said they wanted her off. I went to approach her. >> She's been press trespassing before. I've actually trespassed. >> And then she started swinging on me. So then we went down. >> All right. I guess resisting trespassing. Um, >> so she was on property and then you were she was in the bathroom doing she's been trespass multiple times. She's in the bathroom stuffing toilet paper and everything she can stuff it in. We told her to leave. She left. She came back. She left. She came back. She was just pouring bottles of water in there. I asked her to leave again. Started yelling and screaming at me. And that's when you pulled up and they got me. >> All right, cool. Thank you. >> The woman was taken in for questioning, but the officer's struggle continued as escorting her to the room proved equally challenging. >> One foot, the other foot. >> Let's go. Get out of the car. >> No one thought you were fighting >> so much with the rules, you know. [screaming] >> Seriously, let's have an honest conversation. If we're going to have this problem the whole time, >> do not. In the end, the woman was charged with theft, criminal trespassing, resisting arrest, and battery on an officer. Always recognized the consequences of defying the law. Resisting officers only escalates trouble and ensures harsher charges. Next, this shoplifter even acted like a lawyer, as if she had the authority to argue with the police. >> This is why you want to get your [laughter] elbow off of me to go through my purse. Marijuana is legal. You can put that back in my purse. You have no right to go through the rest of my items. >> On April 17th, 2025, police received a report from Walmart about a woman acting suspiciously, continuously stuffing clothing into her purse while glancing around. She walked out casually, unaware that loss prevention staff and police were waiting for her. >> Can I see the camera? Police is going to get involved. >> Don't grab me. Hey. >> The woman, confident she could walk away, didn't realize her actions had been fully recorded, [snorts] prompting the police to immediately intervene. >> You guys don't have any. >> You don't have Please let me go, please. Can you let me go, please, so I can do it? You didn't even give me a chance. >> You didn't even put your hand on your back. >> You You didn't give me a chance. You >> didn't have a chance. >> You did not. You won't even get over me. How can I do that? >> Put your enemy on your back. >> Can you please get my You know what?

Can Can you please put my shoe on? >> You over. The woman even seemed more concerned with her appearance than the crime she committed as she continued to deny the very action she had just carried out. >> You were fighting me the whole time. >> I was not fighting you at all. You literally grabbed me and smashed me against the the >> put your >> And then you put your your knee on my back and I told you I have a spine injury. >> Put your feet underneath. >> I can't. I have a spine injury. You have to put You have to literally stand me up. >> Yeah. With your legs. >> I'm not able to do that. I'm telling you that >> 912 [ __ ] You straight put your knee in my back and my spine. I told you I have a spine injury. You're big as your knee in my spine. >> Start fire. >> Yeah. >> Are you injured? >> Can someone help me, please? >> Hey, are you injured at all? >> Yeah, I would like to get checked out. >> Yeah, they're on their way. >> That's fine.

Are you able to actually assist me? Cuz I'm not >> How can I assist you? I don't have my hands. >> No, use your legs to stand up. >> I can't. >> Okay, then I can't just lift you up. You're not >> [ __ ] Then you're not 5 lb either. Your big ass got on to just wait and I'll get another officer over here to help me. >> No. You're detaining me and didn't evening tell me what the reason was. >> The job left. They told you. >> So, what are your injuries? Is this your back? >> I told you what they are. I don't have to say nothing else to you. >> Clearly, her claimed injury didn't erase her guilt. The police had to act carefully as she presented herself more like a victim than someone fully aware of her wrongdoing. >> What are you arresting me for? What am I being arrested for? >> Obstruction and theft third. That third. That third is what? For what exactly? You don't even know what I stole. Shoplifting. You don't even know what I stole. And And furthermore, isn't there a limit for when you take people to jail? >> It sounds like you're pretty familiar with this question. >> You know what? Because I actually want to be a lawyer one day. That's why that's why I'm familiar with some future. I don't have a I don't have >> a future lawyer. >> I don't have a record. I'm just somebody tells me I'm just somebody trying to make it in life. Don't wipe your fat ass. Take the office. Yeah. You want the other side? >> I need help. I have a spine injury. >> So, can you please be careful? He put his knee in my spine. I told him I had a spine injury. >> Uh, we can solve that problem by Don't resist. >> I'm not resisting. >> Now you're not. But >> I wasn't resisting in the first place. So, don't tell me not to resist. >> Okay. We're going to start off this way. All right. >> Thank you. >> I appreciate that. That's not how they >> I'm not at all. >> Okay, that's fine. >> No, I'm not treated like everybody else. I'm a black woman in America. >> Yeah, you're black. You seem to just throw me on the ground. >> Inside the loss prevention room, she kept denying every accusation, even acting with a sense of entitlement as if she were the one in charge. >> She took underwear and shirt. >> I did not take underwear. I pay for my underwear underwear and shirts and jeans. Conceal the shirts and pay for the underwear. That's what I was saying. Then >> is there anything else? >> There's nothing else. It's just shirts and you don't can't you don't have legal authority. Stop through my >> No, I did not authorize. >> Exercise your right to remain silent. Then >> listen, I did not authorize him to go through my >> You don't have to. You're under arrest for shoplifting. >> You know what? And I didn't authorize you and you have the wrong ID. >> Oh my god, sir. No, nobody's going. We're going to stop talking to you. >> I can go. >> That's the wrong ID. >> Sir, just Why are you going to Get all that stuff out of my purse. It's just a couple shirts. >> Don't go through my purse. You're not That's it. That's all I have. You don't have to go through my purse. Marijuana is legal. You can put that back in my purse. You have no right to go through the rest of my items. >> You're going to invite your rights. >> No, I'm not. He has Why are you going through the rest of my purse? >> Argue it in court.

Having these rights in mind that you wish to talk to us. >> Listen, I will I will cooperate, but I don't like how he's going through my purse. There's nothing else in there for you to go through my purse. I would appreciate if you not not went through the rest of my purse. >> You're going to go to jail today. So, be for obstruction and theft through. Okay. >> No, listen. I I have every You can back I need to actually look through this. >> Take me to jail. I don't have a record. >> Well, you are you're going to I'm homeless. Okay. >> Even when she finally realized she couldn't deny the truth any longer, she admitted what she did, but with an unbelievably foolish excuse. >> Take me to jail. I'm homeless. Like, I'm homeless. That's why I took a few shirts. >> Where's home if you're homeless? >> What do you mean where's home? >> Said you're home, but you want to be taken home. >> I went in my car. In my car. That's where I belong. In my car. >> Which car is yours outside, >> sir? So, you're taking me to jail? >> Yeah. >> For what? >> For obstruction. You fought me. >> I did not fight you, sir. You >> Yeah, I gave you a lawful order. Stop. You literally put your knee in my back and you're going to put me against the You're taking me to jail and you literally slammed me and you didn't even give me an opportunity. >> Yes, I did. I gave you >> No, you did not. >> Okay. >> So, taking me to jail for what? >> Shoplifting is called theft. It's a crime. >> Understand? Okay. I understand that, but take me to jail for Why do I have to go to jail? Why can't I be in court? >> Again, see, there's that self-entitled thing. Anybody who commits a crime can be taken self, >> but I'm telling you, if you commit a crime law, I don't >> Well, you are today. You shouldn't have committed shoplifting. >> When the medical team arrived, she was checked for injuries and after that, she was taken away with no excuse left that could save her. >> Are you want to do the hospital today? >> Sir, I I want to go home. I want to go sleep in my car. That's where I live. Homeless. >> So, what I'm worried about is your medical condition right now. Are you in Are you in back pain? >> I do have >> You want to go to hospital? >> Do you think so? We don't see anything based on the email that we're seeing. >> Okay. >> But, but based on what happened, if you'd like to go to the hospital to get an X-ray? >> No, it's okay. >> You don't want that? >> I will check myself out when I get out. >> Okay. All right. No problem. >> All right, guys. >> We're good to go. Thank you. >> All right. >> I just want her to know that she's not. >> So, what we'll do for you is um when we get to the uh outside the jail cuz there's kind of a line like a salport area. >> We'll get your cell phone. Um we'll hold it to your ear and you can talk to her. Does >> that sound good? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> I appreciate that. Yeah. >> Thank you. And I appreciate you being cooperative. >> Finally, she was charged with theft and obstruction. Sometimes people think excuses or drama can erase their actions. But the moment a crime is caught on camera, every lie collapses. Accountability always arrives whether they're ready or not. Next, watch as this wannabe clever thief runs into cops who are one step ahead. >> Okay, you're under rescue. All I have right now is like an attempted theft. On January 11th, 2024, officers were dispatched to a Verizon wireless store after reports of a complex fraudulent transaction. Here's how the police quickly took action. >> Hey, I'm Officer F with BP. I've got a body cam on. We got called out here for like a problem with your account or something like that. Are are you Is it your account that you're trying to open up a phone under? Are you trying to open up on some >> No, I already have an account. >> Okay. >> But why am I getting called on? >> So, it it's something to do with the the phone being under somebody else's account that you're opening up and it's like a 20-year-old account. Do you have your ID on you? >> No. What are they talking about? >> So, who whose whose name is the account under? >> Mine. >> It's under your name. >> Yes. And this is my phone that the code got set to. I'm not They just activated them. She said, "Put them on speaker." He put on speaker. I told him, "I'll come back tomorrow cuz they're going to close." >> Okay. >> That's my only problem. This is my phone. I didn't call in or anything. They said allow. I clicked allow. I've been had the service for a long time. >> Okay. Same phone number and everything. >> Yes. >> Okay. How long have you had Verizon as your carrier? >> Like 2 years. >> 2 years. Okay. Do you have your ID on you? >> Yes, it's on. >> When officers [snorts] asked for information, the suspect kept dodging questions, insisting she was using her own account, but tried to head back to the car when asked for ID. Watch what happened next. >> You're good. You don't have to go out there. I'll just take your name. >> Who's uh in the car? >> My friend. >> Your friend. Okay. So, the account is all under your name and everything like that. Okay. What's your last name? >> 104. What's his name? >> Um I I don't know. My I just met him as an old friend. Okay. Look, >> I just came into town for New Year's. I've been here since New Year. I'm going to go home cuz I'm just had to get I was getting my >> Okay. Where's your ID out of there? >> In the car. >> Where at? >> Um I need a cup holder. Cup holder. >> She has to check the cup holder. My stomach. >> You have a picture of your ID? >> No. Oh, let me look. Do you have anything on your account that helps? Cuz I'm not getting anything back for that name. Okay. >> I'm going be honest with you. You don't look like you were born in ' 89. >> I mean, I'm happy everybody said that, but >> Oh, I don't understand. Okay. >> Didn't you Did you give them ID? >> No, I gave him my phone number and he sent a call to my phone. I literally didn't even make it far. >> I just made it to >> right now and then I got on the phone with the credit line. [ __ ] a hold on my account. So like she sent the code to my phone, she sent the code, I loused it, then that was it. >> Okay. You keep looking for like something with your name on it. >> Mhm. >> And then is that an old phone that you have there? >> Um it's like my hairline. It's like my regular phone. >> Okay. Do you have like anything on either one of those? >> And you're being truthful about your name? >> Yes. >> Okay. What's your social? >> What's up with my social? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Cuz I'm not getting a return on your name. Um, >> so I knew my social. >> Yeah, I'm not going to do anything with it, but I'm going to try to confirm your identity. >> When interrogated, the woman failed to provide any identification and kept dodging questions. The officer's patience with her was truly remarkable. >> How long have you lived at? >> Um, like two years. >> Two years. >> Mhm. >> Okay. Does anybody live there with you? >> I live with someone. >> Who Who do you live with? >> Um, my sister's sister. So, >> what's her name? Um, last name >> without looking at your phone. Um, >> you want to know the person's last name you live with? >> This is my sister. Sister. So, you want my sister name? I can give you my >> What's your sister's name? What's your sister's name? >> I just told you my sister. >> So, how did you open the phone line? >> Cuz I already had service. So, they sent the code to my phone. That's what I'm saying. This is this was my issue. Like literally when he sent the code is it said allow or deny I allowed access to my account. >> Okay. >> So my account was fully into he just told me how many lines I have. He just told me it's a lot of androids on say yes my family love androids. >> Officers gradually lost patience as she kept down cuz she kept giving conflicting information unable to recall her address or relatives names and even adding absurd details that made the situation more complicated. >> So the only problem that I have is none of the story kind of makes sense as what's going on. Okay. cuz he's providing a totally different name. >> Right. I was just going to say I heard like I just met him. >> Okay. >> So, we like having to bring you to the store and stuff. >> Yeah, cuz I lost my car. My car is down. >> So, I got to get around. It's cold outside. >> Uber is so I asked him to keep driving around. >> All right. >> Good. I'm okay. Just hanging out with her. >> Fed up with her deceit, the officer stepped outside to compare notes with a colleague who was interviewing her boyfriend in the car. And it seemed their stories didn't match. He's saying that the vehicle comes back to his mom. But all I really have right now is like an attempted theft. I think obstructing her knee or obstructing what um for him. I don't have any. Yeah. >> She was in here saying she was That's the person that actually has an account. She's like 89. >> Mhm. >> How's she know D? >> She just said it was She told me it was a fake name. She just made it up. >> No. You can see the dress that she >> This guy said that people like that do these things can get the account holders information online and they come into the store to try to open a >> in their name and finance a phone and they'll have a $1,100 phone that's financed to So basically they just come in to get the phone to sell the phone. Checking the records, officers discovered they had visited multiple Apple stores that same day. Suspiciously attempting to purchase high-v value phones for resale. Confronted with these contradictions, police decided to make the arrest on the spot. >> What was your first name? >> What is it? >> Camela. >> Camela. Okay, you're under arrest. Go and pop it for me. >> What am I under arrest for? Attempted theft over >> and learn about your name >> and learn about your name. Put your phone down here. >> Take your purse off. All right. [snorts] >> Pipe your hand behind your back. >> So my assumption is that there was more stuff done up north. Okay. >> Yeah. Where the other receipts are out of. So, if that's the case, I'm sure that they're going to have cases on you as well >> if there's other accounts and stuff that you've >> Okay. >> The suspect tried to make excuses but failed to explain. And even more shocking, officers uncovered fake bank cards, fraudulent IDs, and several brand new iPhones bought earlier that day. >> Is this your phone, too? >> Okay. like $200, $400. >> And you can't explain to me what you're doing and why you're doing it. So, I'm just going to assume like worst case scenario, right? The phone that you said is yours. This one, the 15, and this 10 that was in your back pocket, you said is yours, which was purchased today up in Chicago, right? So, you see like how none of this makes sense. It makes sense, but we're not getting the full story, right? >> What's your first name again? >> Camila. >> What's your He wants your mom's number. Do you want him to have your house keys? >> Yeah. >> Okay. What's your relationship with him? >> My friend. >> No, for real. You can't stand it. Yeah. >> You guys live together? >> No. >> All right. Your friend you don't know the last name of? >> No, you don't. >> Man, you're a bad liar. >> So, whose phone is this? Is this your phone? >> He just run in. Hey, will you ask him if this is his phone? >> In the end, the woman was charged with forgery, possession of a fraudulent ID, obstructing identification, and attempted felony theft, facing hefty fines, and years in prison. This case is a reminder. Fraud may seem clever at the moment, but the law always catches up, and the price is far greater than the gain. Next, the kind-hearted mother bought toys for her daughter, but in a guilty [music] way. >> Where's the receipt? Here. It was in the bag. Dude, >> not in the bag. >> Sit down. Calm down. >> People killing each other here in Naples. Don't worry about me going into the park. >> On January 15th, [music] 2023, police were dispatched to a shopping mall after receiving reports of a woman and her daughter engaging in suspicious shopping. At that moment, the woman stepped outside, unaware [music] that police were waiting for her. >> Already? >> Oh my. Oh my god. Steal anything. >> My car. Then look for my receipt. I dropped it. I've already been to this aisle. I see I'm here all the time. >> Okay. Where's your receipt? >> I don't I dropped it then.

That's a good personal blanket. >> I'm guessing this is your personal >> Yes. And and her stuff is in here. [cough and clears throat] >> Where's her ID? >> I'll have it for my car.

And even when given answers, she refused to accept them easily. >> Why are you guys arresting me? >> A squishallow. Why are you arresting me >> for theft? >> A squish mill that I was going to pay for. >> All right. >> It's all right. It's all right. My mom's an attorney. Don't worry about it.

I have plenty of money. I don't need to be freaking accused of theft. >> Items. >> Even at this point, she still treated the incident as if it were nothing.

She violated probation from a previous offense, which led to her serving 365 days in county jail. Her attempts to deny wrongdoing and manipulate others only worsened her situation. Honesty and cooperation with authorities are always the safer choice. Next, this woman had just left prison and thought she could escape despite all those lessons. >> You were going to pay for some of them, not all. >> No. Oh, I was going to I was going to try I was going to pay for that. >> Please, Lord, please. I don't want to go to jail. Shout, Lord. Please. Please. Lord. On May 31st, 2023, police received a call about a suspicious woman stuffing nearly $1,000 worth of clothes into her own clothing. She believed she would only pay for some of the items before leaving until officers confronted her. >> All right, ma'am. Let's put that down. Okay. >> Huh? >> I'm Officer Cornelson. Let's go ahead and put that down. Okay. >> What was I talking about? >> Set the rest of your clothes down. I'm going to talk to you over here. Okay. >> Okay. Ain't nothing on me. >> Okay.

One more. I'm sorry. >> I was going to say I this all I promise you. That's why I ain't went out the door yet. Like I was so scared. That's why I was acting like I was looking for a phone cuz I like >> Anything else? >> That's it. I said I want to go to the dress. >> Stop. >> I saw >> what over here. >> I said I want to go to the room everything. >> Hey, your left butt. >> I [ __ ] I got four kids, y'all. I I can't even feel right here. >> Huh? hanging >> right here. >> No, don't record. >> I'm not >> I wasn't where I made you though. >> I promise you I wasn't going to go out the door.

That's not what we're saying, y'all. >> Look, that's not what we're saying. >> It seemed like a habit. This was not her first time being caught for such behavior. And though she claimed she would pay, she chose to hide the items instead of buying them openly. >> Sir, I don't want >> What were you kids? >> What were you in prison with before? >> What were you in prison for before? >> I was in prison for shoplifting, sir. >> Okay. >> And I learn I don't know why I learned my lesson. That why I really tried like acting like I was looking for a phone or whatever. You know what I'm saying? I act like for a phone cuz I was so scared, y'all. I was so scared. I want to take >> the same yours. >> Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. >> You were You were taking the clothes.

I was going to pay for that. At this point, no display of sympathy could win her leniency. The officers had already made their decision. >> There's stuff on me, sir. Oh, God. I did. >> Oh, God. I did. >> God, I did. Y'all, please, Lord. Please. I don't want to go to jail. Shout out. Lord, please. Please, Lord. >> Look, I stuff. >> There's a lot of people around. So, she had a bunch of merchandise in her uh >> Let's not keep gathering. There's a lot of people out here.

You probably dropped out at the waist field. >> Well, we can I'll send an officer over there to look for it. Okay. Right now, you are under arrest for felony shoplifting. Okay, >> let's go out. Let's go out here. >> In the end, she was charged with felony shoplifting. Clearly, that no matter the excuse or display of sympathy, repeated theft becomes a habit, and the law will not overlook it. Even more cunning, this serial shoplifter carried out her acts far from home. You're not free to leave because I believe you have stolen all this stuff. >> No, I did not take this. This right here, the dress. >> Who is this? >> That's my friend. >> My sugar daddy. >> Hm. >> That's my sugar daddy. >> On July 29th, 2023, police responded to a reported shoplifting. [music] The suspect, an older woman, had loaded nearly $940 worth of merchandise into a shopping cart. When approached, she tried to leave without a receipt. >> Hello, ma'am. >> Yeah. I'm also floor with the G police department. Just wait a video recorded. Do you have a receipt for all this? >> Um I have my phone by. >> Okay. Can I see it? >> My phone is going out. >> Okay. >> All right. >> So they just watch you walk out past all points of sale without a receipt. So >> I don't know. Nobody.

So, >> no, you're not going then. >> Why? >> 14. >> Okay, let's figure it out. >> Okay, let's go. >> I'm I'm going to be late for my Uber. >> Can you show me on another contact at the front? >> Well, then you'll just have to call a new one. Let's go. >> No, I don't because my my insurance is not caught. My insurance is not not covered. >> Okay. So, this is what's going to happen right now. Either we go figure this out or I'm going you're being detained for this. We're going to figure it out and then if you've stolen this stuff, then I will arrest you for it. Or we can go inside and solve this issue and then we don't have to go down that route. It's your It's your call. >> I was I was standing right here when you walked out. So, let's go back inside and just try to figure it out. >> Okay. >> Okay. After repeatedly making excuses and trying to leave, failing each time, the woman grew anxious about the consequences and admitted to taking some of the items. Can >> I go to jail? >> You We're going to see. >> Well, I didn't pay for it on this. >> Okay. Well, we're going to see what they want to do. >> Okay. >> This is an employee here. Uh, another employee watched you walk out. That's how I know that none of this stuff is paid for. Okay. >> Yeah. >> All right. So, it's up to him if he would like to provide you the opportunity. Do you have the money to pay for this? >> Not all. >> Not all of it. Okay. So, here's what's happening right now. You can sit there if it's a little bit better. So, I appreciate your honesty. Honesty goes a long way with me, okay? So, I appreciate you being honest. Um, did you not see me sitting here? Okay. Okay. So, they want to press charges for the theft. Okay. So, I'm not going to take you to jail. >> All right. >> All right. >> But, >> so, um, >> press charges. What happens? >> Well, you're going to get So, I'm not going to issue you a site today cuz then I'd have to book you and release you. Okay. So, like I said, I appreciate the honesty. Honesty goes a long way with me. If you keep that up, then this will be a much quicker process. Okay? There's two options that we have. Okay? So, right now you are under arrest, though. Okay, just you're aware of that. >> Then officers searched her purse. Inside, they discovered even more suspicious items [music] that appeared to be stolen. And when confronted, let's see how she reacted to all of this. >> Is there anything else in here that doesn't belong to you? >> No. >> Are you sure? >> Where'd you get these? I got those at Target. I don't know. >> Do you guys sell these? That's mine. >> Yes, >> that's I'll go to that. I use >> that.

Well, I'm going to call him. All right. So, it's not in here. >> I have to tell him I was going to be arrested. >> You're not. Just hold on. Okay. So, >> right after taking her into custody, officers spoke with the store manager and delivered the final verdict [music] for this serial shoplifter. >> Working on scanning all that stuff. There's quite a bit in those views. I >> know. I'm just assuming through your trespassing as well. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. And just so you're aware, you've been trespassed from this Fred Meyers for 3 years. If you come back, you're subject to arrest. Today's date is the 29th of July uh the 2023. So, if you return by July 29th of or 2026, you are subject to arrest. Yeah. I'll just take the uh the itemized sheet once you get it. And then um uh can you pull video? >> Yeah. >> Yeah.

I got to figure out if she can have that or not have that or whatever. >> Did this happen while you were here for the other time? >> Dude, she walked out with my car right there. Like I'm just going to start parking like like in front of the doors. >> After everything, the police changed their decision about her arrest. But, you know, this wasn't her first time.

That was a lot of items. All right. So, I'm going to have to have you go ahead and take a step out for me. So, she needs to walk her to walk. >> In the end, she was charged with felony shoplifting. Admitting the truth didn't erase the [music] crime, but it kept the situation from getting worse. Once you've crossed the line, honesty is the only thing left to hold on to. But what happens when the employee is the shoplifter at her own store? I seen an opportunity and I kind of used that just so [snorts] I can put food on the table and a place to stay for my daughter. That doesn't give me the right to, you know, obviously I did what I did in this world. >> On June 10th, 2024, police were sent to Nordstrom after a report of stolen merchandise worth up to $3,000.

So that's probably somebody that she knew was coming. >> She said she had just met him. >> All of them with one specific >> one specific individual. Yes. >> Um have you guys interviewed her? >> Yes. We're interviewing process already done. >> Okay. Yeah. Um, it's on video. >> Yes. Everything's on recording. >> When approached, the suspect fully acknowledged her wrongdoing. She unashamedly confessed everything. Her crimes, her motives, and even the amount she had caused. >> All right. You want to talk about what happened today? >> I did some things um that I take full responsibility for. >> Okay. >> Um, what are those things? this mother where um I seen an opportunity and I kind of used that just [snorts] so I can put food on the table and a place to stay for my daughter. That doesn't give me the right to, you know, obviously I did what I did in this room. Um I did take merchandise and um pond it just so I can get a hotel and stuff like that. Uh, like I said, what I did is not saying that it's right because of my situation or anything. So, I do take full accountability for that. Um, I do and willing to pay back to $2,000 that I did $2,500. >> Yes. [snorts] Um, I am willing to pay that back full price. Um, if I get the opportunity to, >> like I said, you know what I did was wrong. um to pull accountability for it. >> Police questioned her about her elaborate scheme, but doubts remained as to why she carried it out while having a job, knowing it could cost her everything. >> I did take the merchandise, hand it off, and so I can sell it. So, I sold the merchandise >> just have liquid uh pawn shops, >> just generic pawn shops or do you have a pawn shop that you normally go to or >> No, I think it was one on the east side that I was just driving around and I happened to see and I stopped there. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Who who you were handing the merchandise to? >> Um this person that I've just met. Um I asked him if he can do it for me. Um >> like a friend of yours? >> No, I actually just met him. It was at the club. Somebody's always trying to get my number, whatever the case may be. And um I seen the opportunity to use him um so that I can do that. >> How many times did you do? >> I believe it was three, four, three or four times. >> Three or four times with the same guy? >> Um yes. >> When he was at the store, like did he purchase anything? >> Uh yes. Uh co >> he purchased what? >> Uh Coca-Cola. >> Oh, so he came in, purchased a Coca-Cola. >> I made him purchase a Coca-Cola and um basically suspended the transactions and then um let him walk out with the >> And what you were doing like you were basically he will bring the merchandise to you at the cash register. >> Did you count any of the merchandise? >> C? >> Yeah.

So you did keep some of the clothes for your daughter, >> right? >> Um the ones that you sold that it was mentioned that uh the the store price is 24 about a little over $2,500. How much do you get at Pawn Shops? >> Um less than that. They don't never give me the full price. Um >> uh for example, uh a watch a fair watch was 700. I got uh four 400 from you. >> We got 400 for you. >> 400. Yeah. >> Do you have any idea how much money did you get on all the sales at the pawn shops? >> Um a lot of them, not everything I sold to the pawn shops. Some I just sold to people that I knew or um I just sold like basically if it wasn't pawn shops, just people that I knew or people that knew that I knew people that knew people, right? Um, altogether I would say out of everything probably wasn't even a little bit more than half. I didn't get I didn't really get too too much from anything. Um, >> surveillance footage revealed the presence of another man. This [snorts] immediately raised questions from the police. So, what do you think of her answer? Leave your [snorts] comments for us. >> So, who's this person? >> Like, this is someone I don't know. You have his information? >> No, I don't. >> You You've dealt with him over multiple occasions. >> You have his phone number on it? >> No, not I. I have um >> How did you communicate with this person? >> Email. >> Email. You said you got his number at a club and now you send an email. >> No, no, no. I've never got his number. He wanted my number. That's how I got [snorts] in contact with him. >> Okay. >> So, from there. >> So, what was his cut? >> Nothing. [clears throat] So your age >> because he liked me [snorts] I that's why I said I use that it was a good idea that because he liked me. >> Okay. >> So when we when if I if I ran your record you would never been arrested for anything related to this? No. >> Have you ever got caught for shoplifting before? Anything like that? >> Never I had one miscondina before. It was a better charge. >> Okay. The female suspect even knew that her plan had flaws and needed adjustments, which had actually made store management's job much more difficult. >> Pretty simple. There was one transaction that took a little bit of for us harder for us to find because she started to get wise. By the fourth time, she only run them up for the Coke, but everything else was kind of >> So everything that you documented today was at minimum what you could what she did scan. >> Yes. >> There's no estimated things. I just want to know through the conversation, we were unable to find out that she suspended one of the transactions. We went back cuz I had another partner with me online who went back found that transaction so I can coincide. So the the the four transactions I'm going to give you are the total amount that we can prove as a no loss which is 2549 something. >> Okay. But the ones that aren't exact. Did you even document those? >> No, they're all exact. You have registered transactions of everything. >> Okay. So it was just that one transaction but it's going to be a company. So you're going to see $5. >> So it's like it's like a void item receipt type of deal. >> Yeah. You'll see it just says a Coke for 318, but then I have attached the suspended transaction to it. So that's basically for like ringing it up. >> So everything was at some point scanned. >> Got it. Thank god. >> Not too clever. >> Um, and do you guys have uh OPD witness statements that you could fill out for us or >> I do not. >> I I can get back for you. >> Returning to the suspect, police reiterated that this was not a minor incident. Yet, even knowing the gravity of her crime, she remained completely calm. >> Do you realize like what you did was not good, right? Do you understand that? Like there's a difference between petty theft and grand theft, >> right? So grand theft is,000. It >> it's 700. So that's a felony crime. All right. Um for this being your first time, it's a pretty sophisticated operation that you just were a part of. It's not like you stole candy from the store, right? You're an adult. >> I'm more concerned that like you're telling the half h half truth because it's a natural thing to do, right? you want to like downplay what you did. >> That's fine. I I spilled everything. >> But you didn't spill everything because you're being a little um you're protective of this person you're dealing with. >> Honestly, no. >> You don't have any information as to >> the email. >> What's it?

Okay, come over here. >> No, I didn't do nothing wrong. I'm not in the store with anything. I want my belongings. They won't let me pay for my stuff without my belongings.

I can't sit on that. >> The woman was clearly in a highly unstable state of mind. Even as the officers tried to gather more information, she refused to cooperate and repeatedly demanded special treatment. >> I want to supervise her. >> Okay. What is uh your date of birth? >> I want a supervisor, please. >> Supervisor's tied up. >> I don't care. I want one. You have to give me one. >> Yes, you do. You're treating me like a criminal, and that's not fair. >> Listen, if you just came to talk to us, we won't have to deal with all this extra stuff. >> Yeah. Yeah.

My house just burnt down and I'm not going to be treated like this to trying to buy stuff for it. I'm tired. I've worked all day and I'll be getting They're going to steal my stuff and I get in trouble for it. Nobody knows where it's at. So they stole my stuff and I get in trouble for it. >> Nobody said you're in trouble right now. >> I feel humiliated. I feel disrespected and I feel No. >> Okay. I'm sorry that feel that way, but we have a job to do. So >> no. And you guys should and you guys don't No. No. No. No. At this point, another officer spoke with the store manager. According to their account, her behavior had been highly suspicious, even bizarre. >> Another manager here. >> Yeah. They just saw her fill up cards. Yeah. >> And then everything I was thinking she took her phone like selling cards without her knowing she's been running around looking for the stuff that's been disappearing. Like >> she has been. >> Yeah. So, I don't I don't know everything. That's just like from what I've heard, this is weird.

So, >> yeah. No, 100%. I'm just I'm just letting you know where I'm at. The woman continued to escalate the situation, showing no awareness that she was a suspect. She kept making a scene outside the store. >> Please tell me how I was stealing. Please, please tell me how I was stealing. >> Yep. >> Please. >> That's what they're going to find out. >> Well, I know. I'm I'm pissed. I want my belongings. >> You'll get them. >> I'll get them when they're ready to give them to me. >> No. >> When they're ready, they get to steal my stuff and I'm told I have to wait. But yet, I didn't go nowhere near cash register with their stuff. I didn't even push the car all the way around the store. I left it sitting in the front by the register so I didn't have to push it around the store and then I get in trouble for it. Are you serious? This is really what's happening. Can you go to the restroom with me? I put some toilet paper down there or something so I don't my pants. I have one more to go or something, please. >> Nothing. phone, dash pass, and chargers. That's about it. >> There's not a charger in there. >> Oh, no. It's a It's a USB connector or whatever. >> Did you drive here with somebody? >> No, I bought the bus. But they have >> Why were you trying to go out the back door? >> I was not. I was buying a flower. I bought a rose bush. Tomorrow is my mom's birthday. >> Oh, look. Tomorrow I didn't even take the car outside. I've got a rose bush from there. That woman came out there and told me that I couldn't couldn't get out there. Even after receiving her items, she believed her business was done. Yet, she continued insisting on proving her innocence. >> Hey, where you going? >> No, you're not. >> Why? What? What did I do? Please tell me what I done wrong. >> Please, please tell me what I did wrong. >> What? >> I didn't do nothing wrong. I didn't push no cart outside. I went out there and bought a rose bush for my mother. I know I'm bleeding all over myself, but I'm This is humiliation and I'm pissed. I'm tired. I'm ready to go. >> Do you have an ID in there? >> I should have a wallet in here. Yeah, I should. >> There's no wallet look like it's brown. It's about like a square about the size of a damn >> It's about half the size of phone. Are you sure you had the >> I'm positive I had it with me. It was with my phone. Where did you put it? >> The phone in the wallet that was laying with the receipt in that right there like on the basket. >> They get a return over. >> Yeah. >> So, there's no wallet in there. >> No. Okay. >> I'm going to go look at a picture real quick. Although she initially faced a possible trespass after confirming her identity, the officers realized her earlier claims about her identity were completely questionable. Let me see your picture you're looking at. That's not me. I had >> That's not you. >> Is it not you? >> I had about 80 lbs on me. >> Where'd your mole go? >> What mole? >> Oh, it was removed by a doctor. Oh, you got it. Remove. [laughter] >> Turn around.

Every single one of y'all. >> Every single one of y'all. >> I got >> Turn around. >> I'm not I didn't do nothing wrong. >> I mean, if somebody needs help, you try to ask somebody to buy it for you. That's not a >> I didn't do nothing. That's the thing. Uh, excuse you. My chest is hurting. I need to go to the hospital. >> Here we go. >> I [laughter] need to go to the hospital. >> My chest is hurting. I have four girlfriends, too, by the way. >> I need to go to the hospital. >> Okay. >> You're under arrest for trucking and um >> I need to go to the hospital. >> We'll figure out who you are, what warrant you got. >> I don't have no warrant. When first approached, she tried to claim menstrual issues and other problems. Now, as she faced arrest, her alleged medical conditions were repeatedly brought up inappropriately to demand special treatment. >> I need to go to the hospital. >> I have four. >> Did you hear me? >> I have four gold. >> They got medical in jail. >> No, I >> All right, let's uh go ahead and uh >> I have four ribs.

Overconfidence and refusal to cooperate can escalate [music] minor incidents into serious legal trouble. >> I asked you for your badge number. You walking away from me, sir. >> I got PBA cards. I got family. That's a lawyer and a DA. Bro, >> y'all one or two companies, bro. >> On September 30th, 2024, Washington officers responded to a report from a Lululemon store after staff noticed a man who had previously stolen from them had returned, spending an unusually long time in the fitting room. Here's how it all unfolded. >> I don't know. They're just trying on right now. So, we haven't seen anything, so we can't pursue. >> Okay. >> Like, so they're in the changing thing right now. >> Yeah. Most likely try to return their stolen stuff for new product. So, we'll wait till they're at the register before we make a jump or an assumption. >> Okay. So, have you seen this person before? >> Yes. Right after confirming the staff's report about the suspect's trick, tension filled the air as officers waited for the man to step out of the fitting room. Accused of trying to swap stolen items with a fake receipt for the second time. >> What the [ __ ] >> Hello. Sorry. 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 just buying clothes? Yeah. They're 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 were potentially shot. >> 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. >> Caught off guard, the man immediately became defensive. Even though the officers had only asked a few simple questions, insisting the items in his bag were his. Yet, he couldn't offer any proof to back it up. >> Bro, that's crazy. Bro, that's mad. 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 with >> I don't even want No. So, that's crazy. So, what's the pop? Well, you just asked me for my ID like I committed a crime though, bro. >> You're scaring me. I didn't do anything. I just came out the dressing room. You want to check my bag? >> 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. Everything in here is mine, bro. Everything in here is mine. She seen me came in here with this bag. So, like, why she called you in here? >> So, this stuff that's in here, you brought in here with >> Yeah, she seen Look, it's on camera. She seen me come in here with this bag, bro. >> Right. Wait for you to come out so we can speak to you about what happened. >> But that's crazy. Like, you pulling me on blast in front of everybody making me look like a certain way, bro. Like, that's >> We're just investigating. >> But that's wrong, though, bro. That's wrong. what we have to do. >> The suspect kept complaining that he was being treated unfairly and began blaming the officers for embarrassing him. Turns out this man's towering ego had its reasons. Let's see just how powerful he really is. >> 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. That's his badge number. >> What's his name? >> Huh? Sergeant. >> What's your badge nick name and badge number? >> Gonzalez. badge number 66. >> What's your name and badge number? >> Thank you. What's your name and badge number? >> Thank you. >> You have the receipt for this stuff that you have in there. >> I just came in here. >> Okay. They're saying you didn't have all that [laughter] stuff in the bag. >> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. >> All right. You're not talking. >> Are 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 proceeded to 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 though. >> That's fine. We're just trying to get the information from >> 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 going to shop. >> Okay. It's it's a detention for investigation at this point. You're not going to shop. We're not going to let you shop. You need to prove to us that you didn't take any >> crazy, bro. I don't understand this [ __ ] bro. >> The suspect tried to stall, claiming he had just arrived and wasn't done shopping yet. But when asked for a receipt, an ID, he dodged the questions, testing the officer's patience more and more. >> ID. >> I have an ID, but I don't understand why I got to give you my ID. >> You cannot >> I do. It's in my account, bro. >> You give us your ID and we can look at your account. >> Came in here with all these stuff. She didn't even see me leave the dressing room yet to know what I had in my bag. Bro, that's crazy. Bro, that's discrimination. I just realized came in here like less than 5 minutes ago, bro. She said that and my bag was not full. She didn't even see me come out the dressing room, bro. How can you say that? And I just watched her say she's not sure. That's That's [ __ ] up, bro. I got I got PBA cards. I got family that's a lawyer and a DA. Bro, I don't have to go through this [ __ ] bro. Yes, I look like a [ __ ] but I'm not a [ __ ] I'm a man before anything. I'm not a [ __ ] There's a difference between a [ __ ] and a man. I'm not a [ __ ] bro. I'm a man before anything. I'm smart as [ __ ] bro. I'm probably older than all of y'all, bro. >> All right. All right. His relative might hold a high position, but that doesn't give him the right to challenge the police. The suspect couldn't prove a thing except repeatedly claiming he was being racially profiled. >> Just provide the name and date of birth. >> I like you. When on camera, the shorty says that she's not sure. I got that on camera. I got them on camera lying and saying, "When I came out the room, my bag wasn't full. When I came out the room, they was all in front the room. I got all that on camera." >> All right, that's a check. All right, cool. >> So, I didn't eat. >> He kept shouting that the staff are lying, claiming he was being framed. But once officers confirmed his ID was fake, the mounting evidence in his attitude pushed their patience to the limit. >> On your ID? It was. >> So at at this point, you gave me an ID. That's the face. You gave us fake information. >> That's what I mean. >> Oh my. Y'all just wanted to [ __ ] me, bro. That's what I'm saying. Racist, bro. >> Racist, son. Racist. Racist. Racist. Y'all wanted to cut me, bro. You wanted to do that from the jump. I never gave you no fake. Everything's on camera. >> Everything's on camera, bro. Everything's on [ __ ] candle, bro. You see you remember you're black, bro. You ain't nothing don't stop. >> Yes, it is. How? I didn't take anything in here. >> The suspect was later identified as 34year-old Marcus Hill. He now faces charges of theft, fraud, and providing false identification. Crimes that could cost him up to a year in jail. Here's a hard lesson. Power may open doors, but it can't erase guilt. Once you break the law, no title or connection can shield you from justice. If you want to see a not so calm arrest in action, just meet this drama queen. >> Arrest him, sir. I tried to spare them. Arrest them. Arrest all of them. Yeah. >> On August 14th, 2025, police received a report about a woman acting suspiciously inside a store. Surveillance cameras from multiple angles captured her slightly adding extra products [music] during selfch checkckout. Even when a loss prevention officer disguised as a store assistant approached to help, she deliberately scanned a few more items, pretending everything was normal before preparing to leave. But before she could make her exit, the store manager pushed her cart away. And that's when her attitude shifted. Realizing she'd been caught, she quickly tried to walk out without the merchandise. Unaware that waiting just outside was the police. either from starting. >> Hold on. Ma'am, >> I don't have anything. >> Ma'am, you're not free to go. Listen, >> I don't have >> Listen, relax.

I don't have anything. >> Hold on. >> Don't touch me. 23. She will be in a moment. >> Okay, I'm done. I don't have nothing. >> You lift it. She's >> I don't have anything. >> She believed that abandoning the goods cleared her of any wrongdoing. So everything she did was justified and she still demanded to be treated like a paying customer. >> I just went and paid for all my stuff. I went to the Don't touch me, >> man. Don't touch me. Way too much. Don't touch me. >> Okay, ma'am. This is all my stuff right here. I went I was paying for my stuff and he he touched me >> at a lower level.

He didn't have no right to He didn't have no right to touch me. >> Inside the loss prevention office, staff laid out everything that happened at the checkout, proving it was nothing like what the suspect tried to claim. >> Yeah. She came with two Tylenol >> to return it. >> Was it already in her bag or she came with a bag? >> She came with a bag. >> Okay. >> And then um I asked her the receipt and I said she didn't have a receipt. And then I said, "I need your ID to return it." And she said, "Here," she showed me on her wallet. I said, "Take it out." And she refused to take the um the ID out >> and then she just walk away. And right after I was, you know, following her. She went to electronics. >> Mhm. >> And I saw she just grabbed, you know, the chargers, >> the chargers. I wasn't sure what was it. So she tried to to put like two at the same time. When she saw me, one of them is dropped >> and she just pick it up. And then I I called the AP and I say, "I'm going on lunch." Keep an eye on her. When I get back, she was stealing the stuff and she, you know, bagged pretty much everything. >> She put the stuff on the bag. actually >> she paid for only two item. >> She only paid for two items. >> She paid for two item. >> And then um I told them, you know, she needs to show the receipt before she leave. And she said, "Oh, I pay on my credit card. I don't have the receipt." And she said, "I'm not showing the receipt." >> Okay. You're going to have him upload the video. >> Yeah. >> Did she She paid for something. >> So she paid for two items. >> Yeah. She paid for >> two >> two items. Yeah. And then everything else she >> she didn't pay for she didn't pay for for this rest of the stuff. >> The woman had no idea her every move had been recorded. So she still believed she could deny it all and even started making absurd demands to the officers in the car. >> What did he charge me with? >> I don't know, man. >> Drop this soon. No, drop it. >> What? >> Uh make him drop the charges. >> No, no, no, no. I can't do that, man. >> Can you see if I got a bond? >> I don't do that. You have to. That's for the court. >> Okay. Can you see if I got a bond? >> I can't do that. That's for the court. You go to your first appearance. They'll tell you if you have a bond. >> Okay. Why did he let me go? I didn't do anything. >> I don't know. What did he say? No, I'm not doing it. I I'm not doing it. I ain't doing it. I got plenty of money. Take care. Yeah, I hurt them. No. No. No. Arrest them, sir. I tried to spare them. Arrest them. Arrest all of them. Yeah. Release me out here. Don't throw print me. Don't do nothing. Yeah. No. Release me out. >> When the car arrived at the medical station, she still refused to admit any wrongdoing, behaving as if she were a queen above the law. >> Give me my shoes and can you give me my bag? >> Slide your foot in there. I'm going to grab your shoes for you. >> Can you give me my bag? Awesome. Delta 10. >> You show me 512 341 Northeast 23rd, please. Come on. >> Okay.

Take a deep breath. >> So, can you put two of them on? >> No, you >> No, take off the handcuffs. >> The woman was charged with retail theft with two prior theft convictions and resisting arrest. Lesson. Even when someone thinks they can escape by leaving stolen items behind or making excuses, every action is being recorded. Denial and arrogance won't protect you. Law enforcement and evidence always catch
