Hey, Jasmine. >> What you see in my bag for I paid for this? >> I'm not getting my bag. >> I would appreciate you. We on vacation. >> I'm not screwing with you. >> What are you doing, dude? >> They walked out with stolen goods like no one was watching, but every move was caught in crystal clear 4K. Let's watch how their confidence turned into instant regret. Here are moments when dumb shoplifterss get caught red-handed on camera. Support us with a like and sub. You won't believe what's next. Starting with this so-called queen of lies, stalling like it's her only talent. >> I'm not going back inside. I have done nothing wrong. I've lived here for 9 months. I have nothing. >> Right now, you are going to be detained for retail theft. On September 4th, 2024, police [music] responded to a Walmart theft worth $14. Moments later, they found the suspect's car, and what followed revealed something far stranger than simple shoplifting. >> Hello. >> Hello, ma'am. Uh, what what do you have right there between your legs? >> An unopened bottle of Eson. >> Okay. And where did you get that at? >> Uh, I got it from a friend. I have also [ __ ] >> Okay. Um, >> rum. And >> so, so what did you just take out of the store at Walmart? >> Excuse me. >> Okay. So, they just called us and their loss prevention witnessed you and has you on video taking stuff out of the store. Okay. >> Taking what out of the store? >> Merchandise out of the store. All right. So, I'm going to have you Yep. So, go ahead and set those down for me. I'm going to have you step out of the vehicle. Okay. >> Okay. So, all the all the produce, all that kind of stuff on the floor over there, where did that come from? >> Algae, uh, algae. >> Uh, algae, algae. And this I've had for a day again, unopened. >> Okay. All right. So, go ahead and step out of the vehicle for me. You can, if you want, you can roll the window up and and turn it off. Okay. >> I'll I'll just I have no As officers approached her car, she appeared calm. Yet, her fidgeting hands told another story and tension spiked when she failed to back up her denials. >> The reason that we are here is Walmart lost convention called us and said that there are some items in here that you did not pay for. That is why we're here. >> I believe I stopped al >> that's why we want to walk you in there and see what's going on. >> Get it figured out. >> Uh, no. I'm from New York. I'm not, you know, I have my I don't have my receipt. I have my digital receipt if you guys want to see that instead. >> Do you have a digital receipt? >> I do. >> Okay. >> It's from my sister's card. >> Okay. Is it on your phone? >> Huh? Yes. Yes, it is. >> So, hold on. I've been here counting and budgeting and all of this stuff and now you guys just pulled me up. I could have left. Like what's the problem? >> Well, again, we've already explained >> The problem is loss prevention is saying that there are some items that you did not pay for. >> What items? >> I I >> that's why we want to go inside and talk to what we're going to figure out. >> Um, no. I would rather wait for my attorney. My sister listened to. >> Okay. >> I I'd rather wait outside, bring your supervisor, everything. >> So, he is the supervisor. >> You are the supervisor. He is the supervisor. >> You witnessed me take things. >> I did not. I didn't tell you that. The woman kept dodging questions, trying to act as if she were part of the investigation herself. Even then, she refused to step inside the store. A clear sign she was hiding something she didn't want uncovered. >> Here's the deal. Do you have a receipt from Walmart from the information? Uh, >> I have a receipt. It was a refunded receipt. My sister has it. That's why I said my sister will come and bring the receipt. I I exchanged it and then I walked out. I'm cleaning my car and then you guys pull up. I have no qualms about you doing your job. Like, I get it. I'm fine. >> Sweet Jesus. Midwest is >> All right. So, at this point, we need to go inside. If if you're clear, then we want to clear this up and make sure >> I don't want to go back inside. I don't want to go back inside simply because if a loss prevention so person if it's the same guy or woman that was looking at my butt and making inappropriate comments then no I don't want to like >> Okay. So we'll we'll get to that portion when we get to that portion. Right now I just kind of want to figure out what's going on here. Okay. >> Sure. >> Um so to make that a little bit easier if we could walk in there >> and and talk to them. No, >> but all her stalling did nothing but waste time. By then, police had already reviewed the surveillance footage, and with the evidence clear on camera, there was nothing left for her to deny >> everything here in just a second, but go ahead. I need to put you in handcuffs. Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. So, put your hands behind your back for me. Okay. All right. What do you think? >> What? >> That's all right. If you sit back, I'm I'm going to re >> No. No. Go ahead. Go ahead. Got her. >> Let me get that. >> Nah, you Gucci. Just, you know, this is also I see my phone real quick. >> Jesus Christ. I've been in the back of these [ __ ] since I was 7. >> All right. I'm going to turn up the air real quick. Okay. Just so you get some air back there and you don't get too hot. Okay. >> Finally, she was charged with retail theft, facing up to one year in jail, fines of up to $1,000, and restitution for the stolen goods. This is a reminder. Every excuse digs you deeper because no lie can out talk the truth and evidence always wins in the end. Next, a sisterhood of thieves turning family bonding into a shopping spree of crime. >> What you see in my bag for I paid for this. >> I'm not giving you my bag. >> I would appreciate if you could put away for me. We on vacation. Like I really apologize on behalf of my >> On March 3rd, 2023 a Watton White moved out of times in Karine. Police were called [music] to a mall after staff noticed three women behaving oddly. When officers arrived, surveillance footage exposed exactly what these shoppers had been up to. >> I'll bring it in. >> The turquoise for sure. Uh the dark blue one and then the brown one cuz she was the one giving her the stuff electronics. >> Just not the red. >> Yeah, the red head actually paid for this stuff. Dang. $442. Two rings. So this is the bag that has everything in it. >> Yeah. Her her and her the red one is the only one that's paid for her item. >> So she's wearing the thing that >> Yeah. >> she took. >> And then the one that she the one that she put on is that gray one that she has her holding and that's not paid for either. >> What the bodysuit thing? >> It's like a cardigan like like how that blue one is. It's just like that one's just gray. >> And where is that? >> The turquoise girl is holding it in her arm, but she had took it off the hanger and put it on her. Okay. >> Almost anyone. >> Another customer. >> Almost. >> What? >> Almost. They're paying for one last item. >> They're going to be at self check out right now. Their best workout. >> The women thought they could leave, but were unexpectedly stopped by police. As soon as the questioning began, they clearly showed an uncooperative and difficult attitude. >> For what? >> I paid for all my stuff. The unpaid mercies. You can see I just >> I paid for myself. Have a seat or put your handcuffs. >> That's my daughter. So I >> That's my daughter. She's under age 17. I have to go. won't tell you yet. Have a seat. >> What you see in my bag for I paid for this. >> I'm not giving you my bag. >> Give me the bag. >> First of all, cooperate with the police right now. >> And I pay for this lighting. We know. Yeah. But we need to see the sweater. >> I don't have naked. What are y'all talking about? >> The gray sweater and then everything that's in her bag. >> Oh, yeah. So why you call me in here? >> Cuz you're the one that put the gray sweater on and handed it to her. >> I took the gray sweater off. Y'all can run the cameras back. I took it off and I put it right there. She picked >> It was strange when police pointed out each woman's actions, even the gray hoodie of the one with glasses. The red-haired mother finally realized her daughter's crimes, but it was already too late to undo the damage. >> They called inside here, but this is my daughter. She's underage. She's 17. >> This is my daughter also. >> Okay, so here's the reason why she's in here as well. She was over there selecting this the camera, the Polaroid camera and stuff. And when she was selecting it, she gave it to her. They were all walking around together while she was taking the spider wrap off. They were in front of her taking the spider wrap off. >> Then she goes over there to the um to the apparel department and starts concealing the stuff. So that's why she's in here too cuz she's collecting me. We on vacation. like I really apologize on behalf of my police. >> I got you. So unfortunately my hands are kind of tied at a certain point uh because it's basically on them. I'm just responding to their call district attorney and stuff. >> Right. So it's well number one it's do they want to prosecute? If they want to prosecute then I have to find all this stuff. I have to call the district attorney if they want to take charges. >> There's no way that I can settle. They just pay >> that is that's up to them. That's not >> because the blue-haired woman had stolen goods worth $214. Police made a separate decision for her case, but it didn't end there. Her actions dragged her own family into trouble as well. >> Stand up for me. Turn around. Put everybody back. >> How do I um How do I How do I get her? >> So, is like bonding or whatever? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, what's going to happen is she's going to be transported to the umble jail. I'll have to send the charges to the DA once they they get to it can take anywhere from 6 to 12 hours to do though. Okay. So now if she doesn't have any history and all that and she qualifies >> for a uh like a $100 bond. Okay, now you can she qualifies for what's called a two trip. Okay, it's kind of an involved process. It involves going downtown, paying the bond, which is like $100 and some like a $15 sir charge or whatever. Um they will give you a piece of paper, you bring it to the umble jail, she signs it, you get a thumb print, you have to take it back downtown and they will give you a release paperwork. Then you come back to the umble jail and then I release her there at that point. But for any reason, be it uh history or or whatever, um they deny, then she'll have to be transported downtown and she'll have to see a judge before bond is set. >> Okay. And how how soon is like >> I said, this can take anywhere. Well, if it's denied, like I said, it can take it can take 6 to 8 hours before we'll know that. Um and then she'll get transported and then she will have to call you. I don't know what their time table is down there. >> Okay. And can she make calls to uh out of state number? >> Um I would imagine so. Okay. >> But yeah, we'll grab we'll grab her cell phone. >> Yeah, we'll take her cell phone. That way she can call you from that from at least the >> other. >> In the end, the blue-haired woman was charged with theft. Lesson learned. Greed has a price. It doesn't just destroy one life. It drags everyone you love down with it. Before the next petty theft, let's watch a sly couple pull off a major theft together. >> Hey, Jasmine. >> On March 4th, 2023, Savage police received a report about a suspected stolen vehicle. After confirming the situation, the officer traced it to a shopping mall where the car had been spotted. Inside, they identified Jasmine, accompanied by a man matching the suspect's description. Lee, who immediately showed reluctance and refused to cooperate when approached. >> Hey, Jasmine. >> On the ground. On the ground. Hands behind your back now. Now >> you're under arrest. >> You got warrants and a stolen car. >> Now, don't move. Why are my swords stolen for what? >> You have a stolen vehicle and you have warrants for your arrest. Let me >> Don't move. Put your hands behind your back. >> Why are you in here? >> Cuz you're under arrest. >> Yes. 35 minutes. >> Jasmine was then searched and escorted to the police car. At that point, she claimed she didn't personally know the suspect, Lee, only his name, and refused to provide any further information. What are you guys doing? For what? I'm not looking. Dude, what are you guys talking about? Dude, check my package. I don't got no resist. >> Dude, I'm not resisting. I'm not. Dude, check video. >> Stop resisting, >> dude. You guys got the wrong person, >> dude. I'm not driving. I don't have key. >> Let me just check the video. Check the video. Here, here. Here, dude. I'm telling you. >> I I'm not [ __ ] stomach. >> When discovered, Lee immediately tried to flee, but it was far too late. Caught in the police net, he began shouting his innocence and rambling about car keys before anyone even questioned him. >> I know. Now roll over on your side. Bring your Hey, relax. Bring your knees to your chest. >> Bring your knees to your chest. >> Bring your knees to your chest. >> Breathe. >> Move your knees to your chest. And now sit up. Sit up. >> Sit up. >> I can't breathe. >> Sit up. Sit up. >> Stand up. Sit down. >> Come on, man. >> Okay. Relax. Relax. Relax. >> You're good. Hey, you know this is illegal. Can you guys search check them video cameras? Look, look how you guys did me. >> No, I I didn't drive no I got no keys. I got no nothing. Please. >> Instead of cooperating to make things easier, he foolishly chose to resist and challenge the officers at every step. >> I'm going. Chill out. >> I'M NOT GOING. >> YOU ARE GOING. >> NO, I'M NOT. I DIDN'T have no possession. >> I didn't have possession of no vehicle. You guys don't understand this. Don't I don't figure it out. Don't let us figure it out. >> No. Don't over there with your supervisor. Please supervisor's already >> stand up. I can't >> stand up. I can't do my ribs. All right. >> He pretended to struggle for breath, clutching his side in pain, prompting officers to call medical aid, but his desperate act failed to save him from the charges. >> I promise this. >> Oh, that's so I'll do it. I'll do it. away from. >> In the end, Lee was charged with theft of movable property valued at $2,500 in disorderly conduct. He plead guilty to theft and was ordered to pay $871. While the second charge was dismissed, Jasmine faced charges of operating a vehicle without consent, resisting or obstructing an officer, and multiple counts of drug possession. She plead guilty to unauthorized vehicle operation and resisting arrest with her drug charges dismissed. [music] The court ordered her to pay a total of $362 in fines. Do you think Jasmine really didn't know Lee or was that just an excuse? Leave a comment and keep watching. Next, watch how this man pulled off the unthinkable inside Walmart. >> Stop. >> You're going to get tased back real fast before we >> What are you doing, dude? On February 28th, 2025, police were called to a local Walmart after reports of a man behaving erratically. Shadow boxing in the aisles with a rubber mallet in hand. What officers found next was even stranger. >> Hey, man. Excuse me. What's up? >> No, I got to talk to you. All right. You're not free to leave right now. You're being detained. >> You're not free to leave. You're being detained right now. Do you have an ID on you? You have any kind of ID on you whatsoever? >> Okay. Did you get his name? >> Yeah. What's your last name? >> Look, man. We know you came in here. You didn't pay for some stuff. It's not that big of a deal. All right. But we got to talk about it at least. Okay. We're not here picking you out for no reason. There's a reason. No. No. No. You're not free to leave. You are not free to leave. If you walk away, you're going to be under arrest. You understand me? Acknowledge you understand me. >> When officers approached Dominic for ID, he refused to cooperate and tried to leave, forcing them to restrain him. Despite his calm look, his constant resistance pushed police to warn of stronger action. >> Stop. You're gonna get tased. Put your hands behind your back. Stop tensing up. >> Put your hands behind your back. You're not. >> Stop tensing. >> Right now, you are now under arrest. Put your hands behind your back. I don't want to tase you. You seem like a respectable guy. I know you're freaking out a little bit right now. Put your hands behind your back. We don't want to hurt you. We'll walk through the whole thing, but we need you to comprehend what we're saying and put your hands behind your back. >> What do you want to do? What do you want to do? You want to what? That's what you're thinking right now. We're just literally going to talk to you in a private room. >> We're going to get everything sorted out there. All right. >> I'm not I'm not lying. I'm not You got to communicate. Like, what are you thinking right now? >> Come on. Come on. After being detained, officers led Dominic to a private security room to avoid public attention. Though they calmly tried to talk, his confusion quickly turned into defiance, growing tense and on the verge of losing control. >> Why are you doing this, man? >> I'm always we on a daily basis, man. >> I really do. >> All right. So, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say, can, and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have one person with you while you're in question. You cannot afford to hire a lawyer. Check your back real fast. >> What are you doing, dude? On the ground. Stay on the ground. Stop. During the search, officers discovered several unpaid items along with the same mallet he had been carrying inside the store. A situation that could have turned dangerous if they hadn't intervened in time. >> You did all that. >> Go for obstruction at least. >> Yeah. And the retail theft unless they suddenly say he didn't, but they were pretty confident. >> What's your name? >> Retail theft. >> What's your name? >> I couldn't even buy. >> What's your name? >> I can't even buy anything. >> What's your name? >> I couldn't even buy anything. Dominic, what is it? >> Dominique want. We're going to stain you up. Okay. I ain't even buy anything. CAREFUL. Stop kicking. Stop kicking. Don't resist. You hit any of us. As officers escorted Dominic to the car, he thrashed, faked injuries, and claimed he couldn't breathe. But his desperate act failed, ending with him restrained in the patrol car. >> At the very least, can we start? >> My thumb hurt like a mother. >> Which thumb? >> He's trying to He's trying to He's trying to get out like this with his thumb. At the station, Dominic continued to cause trouble and defiled the holding cell, forcing officers to change his clothes before completing the booking process. He was ultimately charged with retail theft, resisting arrest and obstruction. A humiliating ending for a man who thought acting insane could save him, but only turned himself into a mockery before the law. Right now, meet an employee who betrayed the very person who once helped him right at the workplace. >> Yeah. Not $20, $80, more than that. whenever you need to help. Literally gave you a raise. We love having you on the team. You turn around and stab us in the back. >> The footage captured an employee secretly siphoning cash from the FAVRIP register over a two-eek period in July 2024. Starting with 20, 40, then $80. His greed growing alongside the amounts. Each time he opened the till, he created fake refund transactions, tossed the receipts, and stuffed the cash into his pocket. What he didn't expect was that every move was recorded by Eagleeye Live, the store's new realtime anti-fraud system. Watch how the owner ends up exposing and shaming him. >> But yeah, you see the free league, I tell him we're selling pretty well, so he could stock us up even more. >> I'll be here Thursday. >> Thursday. Okay. Do you talk to Ted's? >> Yeah, he has to take you back. I reckon we get like a pickup since we didn't get our last one. >> You could do the camera footage. All right. Thanks for uh your help in there. I had a quick question for you. Uh kind of a one-on-one thing where how you feel like you're being treated here. >> Oh. Oh. Oh, shoot. Oh, shoot. I mean, I'm you know, it feels pretty good. You know, like I say, you know, everybody's cool with me and everything like that, you know. >> Are we taking good care of you? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, >> anything we could be doing differently for you that we could help you out? At this point, the suspect appeared completely at ease while chatting with the store owner, unaware that the most shocking moment of his life was about to unfold. >> We do our best. So, you know, we have the same day pay if you ever need money. And in the past, we helped you out as well, right? >> In the past. So, >> you know about that? >> Yes. You know, same day pay >> when you tell me about that around the time when I started here, you know. >> Yeah. So, you you know, if you ever need money, so I want you to watch this thing for me real quick. I want to show you something and let me know what you think of it if you're not subscribed. So, check this out. Kind of observe it and let me know. You can hold it. >> I want to make sure you get it. You can zoom in and out on it. I want to get your front door. >> Let me know when you figure out what's going on. >> Yeah. >> What's going on there? Yeah, that was definitely my mistake there, you know, in that situation. >> What kind of mistake we're talking about? >> Oh man, it's basically with the little I think it was like seven bucks, 7, eight bucks. >> Oh, it's more than that. But what do you think is going on there? You could explain it to me cuz I don't understand why you would do something like that after, you know, we're more than willing to help you out, give you same day pay or early pay, even just gave you a raise, right? >> Yes. >> So, what is going on there? Explain it to me. When the owner showed him the footage of pocketing cash, the employee nervously called it a small mistake. But weeks of evidence proved it was anything but accidental. >> Now, what are you doing? Explain it to me. >> That day, I end up accidentally taking a little bit from the door except calling you and just asking you, you know, and seeing how >> how are you accidentally taking it out? >> Yeah, cuz basically, you know, I accidentally I just wasn't thinking using my mind that day, my guy. >> Okay. That one day. >> Yeah. >> Keep watching. There's more days then. How many days? It's been going for a minute. And it's not just $14. It's a lot more than that. We We captured all the footage every time you did it. >> So, what is accident? You're doing a refund? >> Yes. >> Is that an accident? And then you take out the money and put in your pocket. Is that an accident as well? >> No, it's not. The store owner who had helped his employee pay rent, cover bills, and even Uber rides couldn't believe the man he trusted had betrayed him like this. >> But you know, you got asked me always. We always hooked you up in the past. Why would you do that? We just gave you a raise. We always helped you out even before payday. >> You did. >> You always come to us. We make it right by you. Our policies make it right. >> So you is it accidental or not so accidental then? I mean, like I say, it just was a lot of things what I went through at home where it just kind of >> Yeah, but over the weeks you've been stealing then, right? You admit to stealing. >> Yeah, but I didn't I I I should have called you and asked you literally cuz >> I know you should have, but that's past now. So, you're hitting the lottery and we don't even sell lottery, right? If you watch the previous video, you know what I'm talking about. They could have then you start 20. The last one you did more than 20, then 40, then 80. It's been going on for a minute, hasn't it? It It's in there. Each date is on there. I got the full weeks on weeks on in and out. >> As questions pressed harder, the suspect grew restless, blaming stress, family issues, and rude customers. He admitted taking cash multiple times, claiming he'd repay it later, as if that could erase his crime. >> You think you're you're slick? You know, we have live security. No, I [laughter] know. >> How dumb are you? >> It ain't that um thing. It just like I say, Ber, I just had a lot going on. >> Yeah. You know, you could come to me. That's no excuse to steal, huh? You're trying to get away with So, you see that big date? >> No, I'm not trying to get away with it. It just like I say, you know, I just had a lot of things going on cuz it's just me and my brother. >> Yeah. But, you know, you've always come to me. We've always helped you out in the past. What made you think we can going to help? But this is literally death, isn't it? >> Yes. >> You recognize that? >> And I messed up, girl. Dad, I was really I messed up. I'm sorry. >> I'm sorry, baby. I never did. I >> I'm sorry to let you go cuz we literally gave you a raise. We love having you on the team. You turn around and stab us in the back. >> I didn't want to. The owner stayed firm, listing every favor and ounce of trust Dominic had betrayed. Overwhelmed with guilt, Dominic broke down in tears dissed up. But it was far too late to undo the damage. >> Oh my goodness. I never I never wanted this to happen. >> You want a felony on your record? >> No. No. >> You admit to stealing or no? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I'd do anything in the world, you know. can't do anything. I wish you well. I mean, no ill will for you, but you can't be on the team. So, obviously, you're fired, right? You can hand over the keys. We can't have you here if you're stealing money out of the till. And you're trying to be a manager here, but you're the one stealing. If you could take your keys off, what keys is that? >> Amber, is these the store keys? >> The store keys. >> Yeah. In the end, the employee was charged with theft and employee embezzlement, facing up to 5 years in prison, thousands of dollars in fines, and in order to repay all stolen funds. Let this be a warning. Greed disguised as need will never justify betrayal. Once trust is broken, no apology or excuse can buy it back. What do you think about cases like this?

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 handled 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 bags? >> I see. Okay. And they're just stuffing things inside of there. >> Yeah. Also in their purses as well. [clears throat] >> Okay. 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. They're coming to the south end. >> Security staff described in detail how the suspects used both personal bags and carts to conceal numerous items. Police then blocked the two women's cart, leaving them stunned. Ma'am, >> we're going to go to the last prevention office. Okay. So, right now, you two are detained right now. Okay. Put that. >> We're going to go to the last prevention office right this way. Please put it back. >> No, ma'am. >> I understand that. I understand. Okay. So, right now you're you're both. We're going to go back to the loss prevention office and we'll work all this out. Okay. So, we're going to go back this way and hang a list. Okay. >> No, leave it right here. The suspect initially protested, seemingly not believing she had been caught so easily. In the end, they were forced into the security office and handed over their bags, where officers uncovered some surprising finds. Careful when you put your hands in there. Just needles. >> You guys got anything on you right now in your person? >> There you go. Got any on your person? No. Okay. >> This is for this one. >> What's your name, ma'am? >> It's what now? >> DeAndre. >> DeAndre. >> When verifying their identities, one of the women gave the name Rashonda with vague details. Suspicion deepened when several bank cards belonging to other people were found in their wallets. >> Who's Patricia? >> How do you know Patricia? >> Together in Austin. >> Uh-huh. How long ago was that? >> I don't know. I don't remember. >> You don't remember? How long? >> More than two years. >> More than two years ago? >> No. >> Does she know you're you're using you have her credit cards on her? >> We haven't used them. I wasn't going to use them. >> Okay. I wasn't saying you were. I was just asking. >> Yeah, she knows. Yeah. Where's clothes and stuff? >> What's up with these holes in the middle of it? >> I don't know. I didn't do that. [laughter] >> Okay. >> I mean, do you do you often do you often keep other people's stuff in your in your purse? >> Sometimes I turn I mean mail ID. I mail it in. >> Uh-huh. But not credit cards though. You don't mail those in? >> It doesn't have an address on it. I haven't gotten around to yet. Police suspected fraud after finding strange credit cards and hearing evasive answers, while cameras exposed the two suspects hiding merchandise despite their denials. >> Watch the video cuz there's video surveillance throughout the whole store. So, >> I paid for that. >> Pay for what? >> Where's your receipt? >> Right here. >> So, you paid for that.

Evidence they couldn't deny. >> Step over here for me. Come over here. What's in this pocket? I need money or 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.

With prior convictions, they face serious felony charges and the possibility of years behind bars. What do you think about these women turning petty theft into a felony case? Share your thoughts in the comments below. Next, watch as officers deliver a surprise this shoplifter never saw coming. >> They weren't even my color. You know, you're just goofing around. I didn't mean anything. I took two samples. >> Brenda, I'm going to ask >> Don't do this to me. Please let me go home. >> Nope. On December 20th, 2024, officers quickly responded to a call from Walmart about a woman walking out with cosmetics without paying. But once they approached, they realized she wasn't as simple as she seemed. >> What have I done? >> So, if you want to explain to her what? >> Real quick. So, right now, you are being detained for suspicion of retail theft over at the Kohl's earlier today. Do you have an ID on you? >> No, I don't. >> Okay. [clears throat] >> Can I go use the bathroom real fast? I think >> not right now. Okay. >> Where are you coming from today? >> I'm just walking around. I just came from one of the stores.

You need to stop. >> Let me see. Let me use the bathroom. >> You stand. No, you're Nope. >> When officers stopped her, she quickly turned uncooperative and started making demands. >> Can I call my sister? >> We're going to give you a moment to call whoever you'd like. >> Why are you detaining me? That's me. >> That's you walking out of Kohl's. >> When? >> At 2 or excuse me, 2:20 in the evening or the afternoon today. >> So, here's the deal. >> I'm [snorts] going to ask you again for an ID. >> I don't have one. >> Okay. What's your name to me? I'm going to ask you. >> My name is Bri. >> Is that short for anything? >> Brenda. >> All right. >> She gave her name is Brenda, but when asked for ID, the woman kept dodging and insisted she was innocent. >> For suspicion of retail theft. They have you over at Kohl's here just up the way on video putting makeup in your pockets, walking out of the store without paying for it. >> I didn't put makeup in my pockets. >> Well, I have you I have you on video. >> Makeup. I didn't take any makeup from that store. I want to see that right now. No. And then I want to go. I didn't take any makeup from that store. I swear I didn't. >> Here's the deal. >> Show me the makeup. >> If any of that information that you me is false, that is going to be an additional charge for obstructing identification. >> No, that's me. And can I go home now? >> Not yet. >> I didn't take any makeup. I didn't take any makeup. >> I didn't. >> Like I said, my partner has video. >> I want to see the makeup I took. I didn't take anything. I used the sample. >> I need you. I need you to >> No, but I'm I'm okay. >> Brenda kept denying it, claiming [snorts] she only used samples and tossed them away. But her shifting story only made the situation more tense. >> I I some a sample thing I used, but I didn't take any makeup. >> Well, I have you on video putting it in your pockets. >> No, that was that's that was a sample. >> The exact same clothes that you're wearing. >> It was a sample thing. You put it in your pockets, >> but it was a sample pockets. That doesn't matter. You can't see. >> I thought you could. It's a sample. >> Okay. There's nothing on there that said they were samples. They were display. >> This say displays are samples. I didn't I didn't even keep it. I But it was just I didn't steal like take stuff like like you know what I mean? Like stuff like that. I didn't. >> Okay. Go ahead. Hold on. >> I'm not going anywhere, sir. >> I No, we're done walking around. You stand right there and don't move until I tell you to. >> Yes, sir. >> I'm so sorry. Could you please 10 nine? >> I didn't know the samples were wrong and I threw them out. I did. They weren't even my color. You know, you're just goofing around. I didn't mean anything. I took two samples. >> Brenda, I'm going to ask you again. Do you have anything with an ID? >> I don't have anything. >> You have anything with your name on it? >> No. >> All right. Even when confronted with clear video evidence, police also [music] discovered the tag still attached to her hoodie, sparking suspicion that she hadn't stolen from just one store. >> You ripped the You ripped the scanner off, but the tag still. >> I didn't write a scanner. This is not I didn't rip a scanner. This is mine. >> Look at the tag. Want me to show? >> I know. I see the tag there, but that's not that. That's mine. >> Okay, I'm >> see there. I have layers on today, >> girl. I'm just saying you left the tag on. >> No, I didn't leave the tag on. It's not. It's just something I threw on. Okay. Okay. Okay. >> What are you looking for? >> So, according to Kohl's, she's got a Walmart cart somewhere where she was dumping stuff by a bush. She's wearing the exact same clothes that she was wearing at the time of the theft. I think that she's giving me a phony baloney name. >> The evidence was plain as day. Yet, she kept dodging, begged to go home, and even tried flirting with the cops. But none of those tricks got her anywhere. >> I lose patience, sir. I'm sorry. You my pace, too. You're handsome, though. >> Thank you. [laughter] >> You're nice looking, too. Oh, I appreciate you. That's very kind. >> You got it right here. >> Yep. >> You're the man, dude. Appreciate you. >> This is >> I think she's giving me a phony baloney name. >> I would assume so. Especially if she's not coming back. >> Correct. So, I'm going to try a couple other things. >> Did she talk to Target? Cuz this is Target's bags. >> Target? So, earlier they said she didn't take anything, but that may have changed between now and then. I got dispatched out to Kohl's earlier today. They advised me that there was a retail theft of several pieces of makeup items offered for sale. The total value of those items is $141. They have you on video walking over to the makeup section, putting those items in your pocket, and walking past the last point of sale without procuring a form of payment. I'm talking, you're listening. >> I'm apologizing. >> Okay. >> The moment officers confirmed her identity and charged her with $141 retail theft, Brenda's next reaction was anything but expected. Do you have Don't go reaching for anything. >> I don't have anything in my pockets. >> I don't know that. >> Touch [ __ ] go. >> So, I'm going to You are under arrest at this time for the crime of retail theft. We're going to go over right here to this black F-150. Miss Thomas, please be mindful of your steps. >> I won't let you're going to have to really help me. >> Okay, I got you. I'm not going to let you fall. >> I'm just going to take your head off. >> No, don't. >> I have to take it off. It's departmental policy. I don't know. No, please don't. I usually I have a religious beanie that's in my purse. >> It's going to go right back on. I have to take it off real quick and then >> Oh, God. Don't do this to me. Please let me go home. >> Nope. We're past that point now. >> Okay. >> I want it back on now. >> I'm Brenda. >> Please. >> I'm going to put it back on. I said I had to take it off for a second and put it right back. >> Can I have my religious beanie? >> Your beanie is still on your head. >> No, it stays it on my head cuz I was hiding taken it off. I have a religious beanie I wear all the time. >> What color is it? >> It's black. >> It's still on your head. >> I don't know. I'm nervous. >> I'm nervous. >> In the end, Brenda was officially charged with retail theft along with obstruction of identification for repeatedly giving false information and failing to provide any ID. Brenda's theft bought her nothing but a criminal record. A mistake that will follow her far longer than any makeup ever could. >> [laughter] >> You're going to have to take this off later. Are you okay to just take it off now? >> Yeah. >> On November 11th, 2024, Florida police received a report from a Wind Dixie manager about months of missing funds suspected to have been stolen by an employee. This was the entire incident. Since uh August 19th until November 5th, she has been activating gift cards without paying for them and then keeping the gift cards for herself. And that's a total of 17 uh 1,724.95. Now, she also said that she had taken about $300 in cash, but I don't have any evidence of that. So, that's just verbally. also. >> The store owner reported a loss of about $1,700, not including cash, along with a written confession from the employee. Let's see what drove this young girl to make such a foolish choice. I'm Deputy Kramer. I'm here obviously in relation to the incident that's been going on with you and your employer. At this point in time, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can or will be used against >> Hang on. Just listen to me, okay? Just listen to me. You a law. With these rights in mind, do you wish to answer questions? >> Yes. >> Yes. Okay. So, what's what's been going on? >> I've been taking money to my students for me and my little sister for a little while. >> Okay. >> At first, the girl appeared calm, but after the officer read her rights, she grew nervous and admitted she had taken money to buy food for her and her sister since no one else cared for them. Pay attention to this detail. >> You said you're taking it to buy food for your little sister and you. I have no body. [laughter] I've never been in. >> Okay, calm down. >> Never been in any type of trouble in my life. I'm so scared. >> What's the home life situation like? Is it Is it just you and your sister or >> It's my mom. She works a lot, so she's not really there. So, it's basically me and my sister, but she's with my older sister right now cuz my mom's at work and I'm at work. So, I'm going to get arrested. >> So, you will be going to jail today. >> Who's going to pardon me? >> You'll have to make a phone call from the jail. Okay. >> Why am I getting arrested? >> So, the your employer wanted to pursue charges. Okay. >> I wanted to pursue charges. >> Do you know the total dollar amount of money? >> It seems she had been lying from the start since they still had their mother. It was hard to understand why the suspect acted surprised when officers told her she had committed a crime. Clearly, she had no concept that stealing was illegal. >> Do you know the total dollar amount of money you took? >> I told you took nothing. >> How much do you think you took? >> Like a,000 maybe in total. >> Okay. >> And how were you doing this? >> The first I just took cash and then I was just scanning the gift card. >> So you'd scan the gift card and do what? >> Just put in the mountain that I needed. >> Okay. I've never been in trouble and a little bit freaking out cuz I don't think you're going to get me out. >> When did this start happening? >> Maybe like a month or two [laughter] months ago, maybe. But it wasn't like an everyday thing. >> How many times a day would you do this? >> Probably like three three times of the cards, but I stopped it because I just started doing the cards. >> How much in cash do you think you took? >> Probably like 300 in total. Can I call it? Can I text her? >> You can you can make a phone call. >> You think I'll get out today? >> The girl knew exactly how much she had taken and thought she could simply return the money to escape the charges. But reality taught her that she had to face the consequences of her actions. >> You probably won't get out till you probably had to spend the night and you'll get out first thing in the morning. You have to see a judge in the morning. Okay. I said I was going to pay [laughter] him back. >> Unfortunately, >> is there anything I can do so you won't press charges? >> Unfortunately, this is what the company wants to do. >> Can I have your driver's license? >> Here. >> Yep. We're going to we're going to walk out >> location. Okay. They don't want you coming back. If you do, you will be arrested. Okay. >> Stand up against the vehicle real quick.

Anything that I should be concerned of now? >> No. >> No. >> Okay. >> Put your hands up here. >> What's your mom look like? >> She's black. She looks old. >> The officers then escorted her to the car as the store owner insisted she face court and banned her from returning. One foolish act left a lifelong stain. Police decided to arrest her the moment her mother arrived. >> Take this off later. Are you okay to just take it off now? >> Yeah, >> we can give it to your mom, too. >> Do you want your phone to go with you? >> Okay. She was caught stealing from from the business. I guess she was charging gift cards and pocketing the gift cards. She's been doing it for a few months now. You got to give me [laughter] a video. Mom, you got to give me You got to call everybody. You got to call them here. I'm going to take my password off so you can get into my phone. >> In the end, the girl was officially charged with organized fraud under $20,000 and theft of cash. With her handwritten confession, she now faced a felony, an indelible stain on her record. This case is a reminder that no matter your age, one wrong choice can cost you dearly and leave you with lasting shame. And now, meet a 21-year-old who thought she could walk out with a bag full of merchandise and face no consequences. >> What are you talking about? >> Put this down. Please don't do this. Can you tell me? >> I can't. I can't. I'm sorry. On April 8th, 2023, officers responded to Dillards following a report of an active shoplifting incident.

Put your hands behind your back for me. >> Just put it right here for me. Right there. Why you you seen me all day and you you saw to do this? You should have just walked out the store. >> Officers quickly handcuffed and escorted her away while the suspect kept acting innocent, begging to call her mom as a last hope, but every effort was useless. >> All day you kept looking.

It was a group plan. >> I let him let you talk. >> Well, could I pay for it? >> They don't They don't do the paper still all the time cuz we would have got away. This is would have been stuff they lost and they would have a port the bill, sweetheart. I promise I wish I can work with you. >> I wish. Let me take this off you. >> Could I call my mom?

Your friends took stuff, man. >> They didn't. I swear. No. She saw No, she saw you standing right there and she did not take.

Uh, might have been a silver Corolla or a white. >> Yeah, I was right. >> I'm not. >> Okay. >> Finally, police announced she was arrested for misdemeanor retail theft. She will receive a court summon, is banned from returning to the store, and if she fails to appear, a warrant will be issued. This case shows that no matter how hard she tried to blame her friends, the truth was clear. A young woman now faces her first criminal record over one reckless act. And now here's a woman who thought she could steal thousands without consequence only to face her downfall. >> The department I work in. >> So I just had customer service then. >> So this has been going on for a while. >> Um she's been taking copious amounts of money. >> On January 17th, 2023, officers responded to a Home Depot for a call of ongoing employee theft. This footage is of the events that followed. She's admitted signing a baby at least $3,000. >> You guys have the video footage every single >> Yeah, they did all the transactions. We actually thought it was more about five, but she admitted to three, but I we have her back here. Um we I have to notify her and I would like to prosecute and I would like to walk around and cuss. >> I don't know. We'll see what we we're going to do here. Um uh but most likely you know leave through this door so you're not going through my whole place. >> These rights I just explained to you. >> Okay. So when when did this start taking place? Do you remember? If you had to take an educated guess like was it like a month ago, couple weeks ago? >> Few weeks ago. >> Few weeks ago. The manager said the female employee admitted to taking at least $3,000, while video evidence showed the amount could have reached $5,000, leaving everyone shocked. Watch the cunning tactics of this 19-year-old suspect. >> So, what were we doing a few weeks ago? >> How much? Okay. >> Are you a cashier or customer service? >> Customer service. So you're around the cashiers area area. So you do take returns and take people you check people out and stuff like that. Okay. It's been going on for a few weeks now. How how are we doing this? Like explain to me so I can better better understand how how we went from working here to slightly taking some cash out at a time. It was a thought process. I just did it. >> How were we doing it though? >> Were we checking someone out when we were doing it or were you just randomly go to the register, open it up, take out Were you taking out like $20 at a time or $100 at You were taking $100 at a time every single time. Okay. So every single time you did it, you were taking money $100 out every single time. >> The suspect said she worked in the customer service department, often taking advantage of quiet moments to open the register and slip out $100 bills each time. But the scheme did not end there. >> And how much would you say you you took from the tills? copy of >> 2000. >> Over 2,000. >> Have you ever What' you do with the cash after you took the every time you took the 100 out? >> What were you using it on? I was going to use it from my mother. >> Marina buy her. She's just sex. [cough] >> I got you. So, you're taking the money for your grandma so you can spend it on her. >> Does your grandma take care of you and you thought it'd be nice to kind of treat her? >> It wasn't a treat. She's just >> sick. >> She's sick. So, you're helping pay for medical bills or something or >> Yeah. >> At first, she claimed she had taken only about $2,000, saying it was to help pay her sick grandmother's expenses. Her story seemed convincing, backed by a stream of tearful excuses. >> The department I work in. >> So, just had customer service then? >> Yes. >> Okay. Can I can I add something? Can I ask her a question? >> Absolutely. >> Okay. So, we just talked a few minutes ago, right? We talked about you taking the cash in the registers. It was more than $100 each time, right? So, last night we you talked about yesterday what you took from the registers, right? Was over $1,000, right? Okay. He needs to know that. >> Oh, I I >> know you didn't understand what he said. Hundreds. >> Oh, so you were taking So, >> yes. Sorry. >> Let me let me break it down for you. So, let's say this is my my till right up at customer service. I open it up and I took I'm just taking $100 out. >> No, I took more than >> You took more. Did you? And that was happening every time you did it. >> Yes. >> So, you took up to you took all the hundreds out of the tills. Are you telling me? And that would add up to whatever amount that you took out of there. >> Do you remember what the fir the first time you did it? Do you remember what the total amount was that you took out? No. >> What do you remember any at any time how much you took out every time you went to the till? >> There usually is hundreds of them. So two to four >> two to four. So we're talking couple hundred every time we took money out from the >> some of it. Some of her bills and then we've been waiting. My uncle my grandfather passed away a year ago. So, I've also wanted to help with the headstone, too. >> Okay, they were helping. >> When questioned by police and store management, she repeatedly leaned on her difficult family situation, hoping for sympathy and a way out. But the video evidence proved the opposite. >> We have statements for you. We have video for you. Um, we have, you know, just a packet for you that CIT puts together.
