And upon arrival, they sought clarification in the loss prevention office where everything appeared to have been clearly laid out by store employees. >> Yeah. No, we have we have footage of her ticket switching, putting another ticket on another item. Mhm. >> Um, we've had uh >> she's she had I don't know if she bought it earlier or not, but I have consumption.

She grabs whatever that is right over here and then she'll conceal it in her purse. >> And is the part of her concealing it on video, too? Yes, I uh you'll see right here real quick. >> And she had like a knife, too. That's why we also called you guys or switch whatever it is. >> That's fine. >> Yeah. She will go to clearance and you know the yellow tickets that are marked down or whatever. >> Yeah. >> She'll go to clearance and then get a couple items from clearance and then she'll walk around take that uh ticket off and then when she gets a chance put it on stuff that she has in her cart. >> What items has she done that to? She has like this box thing. I don't know where she got. >> Do you have the video of that of her grabbing and putting it on? >> It should be on 26. >> Yeah. >> Immediately afterward, police approached the suspects who appeared completely panicked as if they genuinely believed they were innocent. >> You remember? >> Hi.

Let me just double check these before you sit down. >> I don't really got money here. No reason to steal. >> Okay. Like I said, we'll figure it all out. The man denied his involvement, but was that truly the case when the woman later made several statements that revealed her actions. >> Wide step apart. >> So, I did throw a couple of things in my bag. >> You can just take him out, right? And then it's fine. >> Okay. Now, now >> I don't go to jail for see me if she if >> you don't go to jail for that. >> I mean, what if I pay for him real quick? >> Why didn't you pay for them? >> Because I didn't ask. I'm sorry.

No, you can't. >> The woman only admitted that she had slipped a few items into her bag and claimed it was not worth charging her, but the price tag switching was also brought up by police. >> I mean, we got clearance stuff. >> Were the clearance tags on them already when you picked them up? >> Yeah, we went shopping in the clearance in all the different clearance. >> I'm going to explain something to you guys real quick. Okay. The officer is gonna question both of you about everything that happened today. Before you give the answers, I want you to stand up. You stand up. >> Oh, yes. >> Yep. Come over here. >> Look at all these cameras. >> Okay. We've been watching you the entire time. Have a seat. >> So, before these officers start asking you questions and before you answer, keep in mind that that's all those cameras. >> You've been watched the whole time. Excuse me. So before you give answers about tags are already on things and you just paid clearance item for them, you might want to think real long and hard about the answers you give. Okay. All right.

Can I >> The officer is going to talk to you about all that. >> Okay. >> That was the face after everything was exposed, showing not a trace of shame. And it seemed the man was not a firsttime offender either. I just came out of prison like two years ago, but I don't want to go back to jail. I've been good, dude. I've been >> What were you for? >> Huh? >> What were you in for? >> Well, it was for from my baby mother and me. I was with for 13 years. It was burgly, but it wasn't it wasn't a real burgly. I was my own house. I was with my baby mother for 13 years. We had three kids together, you know. My oldest son about be 18. My little son's going to be uh 13 and my daughter my daughter is um 10. She's 10. Me and her are still all right to this day. But she just, you know, we're going through a separation and she's a little um psychotic. But if you look up the police report on that, it's not even it's not mother drama. >> It's a baby mother drama, not baby drama. So, was he with her at any time when she switched tags? >> No, near the end in a sense. And this area, but the whole time it was just her doing all the stuff while he was in this area in the auto section doing whatever he was doing. >> The man was confirmed innocent in this incident and was later released. Okay. DUI pay for it. I paid extra. >> So, for right now, I just need you to collect your stuff. You're more than welcome to wait outside to see what happens, but for right now, you are free to leave. >> Okay. I mean, is there any is there any possible way that she would be free? >> We'll talk about that outside. Okay. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Yep.

So, she's a first time offender in theft. >> Yes. >> She'll be APAD eligible, meaning she's going to get almost like a court date for community service. Okay. Uh and as long as she fulfills all her obligations, uh it won't count against her record. >> So, she won't be arrested today? >> If I'm waiting for dispatch to confirm. >> So, uh I'm assuming you guys came here together in a vehicle. You want to wait in your car. You want to wait out here? >> I would like to wait to see what happens. >> Okay, I'm close this door though. >> That's something you should have talked to her before this [ __ ] happens.

So, we're going to >> continue. I mean, do they want they're not willing to take >> That's what we're That's what we're going to talk about. All right. Just wait right here. >> Returning to the woman, she seemed to accept what had happened, even believing that there was nothing she could do to change it. You wish to answer any questions? >> I mean, if you have questions. Yeah. But I'm pretty sure you just already decided what's going to happen. So >> So he just needs a verbal yes or no if you're willing to because >> Yeah, that's fine. I don't care. >> Well, you know why you're here. You know why you're in handcuffs. Okay. Um, >> we have reason to believe that you committed theft here at the Walmart. There's there's video evidence of of of you putting an item in your purse. >> I did. There is video evidence of you putting tags on merchandise that did not belong to that merchandise and pay a cheaper price. >> I didn't touch that. He didn't know about that honestly. >> And that's why he's not in cups. Okay. So, did was this a spur of the moment thing? Did you plan to do this or >> No, I just just >> You saw somebody else do it before. You're like, "Let me try this out." >> I had a friend who had done it and it seemed like a phenomenal idea, which I'm sorry that's ridiculous. I'm sorry, but it >> I just >> it's obviously not a phenomenal idea. >> No, >> I won't do it anymore ever again. >> That's crazy. >> So, when you walked into the store today, was that your plan to switch? >> Not really. No, but once when I hit the clearance aisle, it kind of just >> In the end, she was charged with theft and ordered to pay a $500 fine. Underestimating the consequences of theft is dangerous. Thinking it's a clever trick can quickly lead to legal trouble, public exposure, and lasting repercussions, even if one believes it's minor or harmless. Next, meet a woman who thought only of herself. >> All my stuff in a hotel, too, and I have to go to jail. Someone's going to take all my stuff. Please don't leave me. >> On December 2nd, 2025, police responded to a call from Target about an ongoing theft. At that moment, they ambushed the suspect as she tried to flee with the merchandise. >> I don't have any >> up against the wall. Put your stuff down. Put your stuff down. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> All right. Put your hands behind your back. All right. Stay just like that. Don't move. >> I'll pay for it. >> Nope.

Just sit tight. Hold on. >> Stand right here. I'm going to fix your cuffs. Relax. >> Can I just pay for it? It's not even >> Please. >> Hold on. I got to grab my key. Clearly, the woman knew the value of the items, but never intended to pay from the start. At that point, she began to play the victim. >> All my stuff in a hotel, too. And I have to go to jail, so I'm not going to take all my stuff. >> That's not That's not the case. If you got to go to jail, then they'll just put your stuff aside. Is this someone hurt? >> No. Nobody's going to know that I'm going to jail or anything. Nobody will go get my stuff. I don't have any family. All right. Go ahead. Sorry.

You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while being in question. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any question if you wish. >> Her face appeared completely remorseful, but sadly it was all fake. Not a single tear fell. With that expression, she had to admit her actions. What did you What did you put in your purse? >> What she has in her thing is a shaver thingy. >> The shaver thingy. And what's the other thing? They're both shavers. >> All right. >> All my stuff's going to be going on my baby's purse. >> Do I have to go to jail? >> Yes. Can I make a call before?

What are you doing? What are you doing for Christmas this year? >> I wanted to see my kids, but I can't. So, I'm getting them present. >> All right. >> Please don't. >> The woman brought her children into it as an excuse, but it seemed only a ploy for sympathy since the receipt showed she had also stolen items for herself. >> Can I keep this? >> Yes. >> Take a picture. Are you going to keep me? >> No, you'll be out by tomorrow. >> Can you put these in front of me so I can scratch my >> I cannot. >> Did you put Did she pay for this lip smacker stuff? >> Okay. >> I forgot it was on my thing.

They're going to book you in. >> You didn't give me your iPhone. Yeah, we got this. >> Do you have anything on you that they're going to find at the jail that you're not supposed to have? >> Okay.

They left. >> So, it's just going to be posted and the money is going to go back onto your card. Okay. >> I'm crying. >> Watch out for your head. >> Finally, the woman was charged with retail theft. She selfishly prioritized her own interests over the law, showing that attempts to manipulate sympathy, even involving her children, cannot excuse criminal actions. Next, this teenager faced his first costly lesson in growing up. >> Okay, your name's not Justin cuz we can go add another charge here. All right, >> go ahead and put your hands. >> Who is Who is Justin? >> Is that you? Okay.

Justice Anton is a fake name that he used for the order, but this is him. >> He was charged with misuse of a credit card and theft by deception.

I wasn't I was walking back and forth on the phone with my sugar daddy. So, I don't know. >> Your sugar daddy? >> Yeah. On the store employees side, she also had her own account of the incident. Let's see how it compares to the story told by the friend of the suspect. >> Oh god. They came into my store and the one that was in all black got her ears pierced. She paid $200 for her ear piercings and then she came out here inside down. >> Okay. >> The other two were in my store while I was doing the ear piercing. I can't watch and watch at the same time. She was watching. They started stacking up phone cases into their bags. Scrunchies up their arms cuz I have clearance out here. Scrunchies up their arms. >> Out here. out here. >> Okay. >> I was going to let it go. >> It was like $30 worth of stuff. Maybe I was going to let it go. >> They left and they came back. >> Okay. >> Back into my store. They went and they started, "Let's try this phone case on. Okay, I like this one. Let's slip it in my bag." >> So, I walked in and I was like, "Ladies, we're about to close. Can I have my phone cases and my scrunchies back?" >> Mhm. >> And that's when it started. And then the one put her hair up and threatened me and started pushing cases and all kinds of stuff. >> Okay. Now, ma'am, Verizon lady, I guess you have it all on video. They do. Would you want to go see it? >> I'm going to look that in a second. Now, what did they do to you? Did you just >> Oh, they caught me all but I don't care. Then they threw my microwave. I like to eat.

So go. >> The trash is going out early. >> Let me just keep read. >> Back with the suspects, they seem somewhat regretful for their actions. Yet, it was clear they didn't take the matter very seriously. >> Good. Good. Cuz the sheriffs are coming. >> The sheriffs are coming. What you got? The sheriffs are coming. You little weird. >> I'm I'm Hunter, kid. >> That's where they dumped it out of my my hand the second time. >> But that was a video. >> It'll all be continued under one disorderly conduct charge, but I'm going to put in there what they did here. Okay. So, when it goes to court, they can be banned from coming into the mall and Claire's. Okay. >> So, what happened tonight, Hunter? Do you know this other girl that's uh in this other car? >> Which one? >> I don't know. She's got glasses on. A white hoodie. Or is that the one you >> Abby? >> I don't know. >> Abby. The blonde one with glasses. >> Yeah. >> So, who were you into a in a fight with her? >> No, that that woman that was working. a woman that was working in in there in the mall. >> She was working across from Claire's and the person the people at Claire's said that we stole something and we was trying to find the receipt for it to show that we didn't steal it >> and she's sitting there rushing us and then we couldn't find the receipt cuz there's so much in the bag. >> We just escalated from there to jail. >> Huh? Am I going to jail? >> Not sure. As of right now, the officer that's uh basically investigating this is inside right now. All you're doing is right now you are hanging out here until we figure out what's going on. Are the keys the only thing you have on you? >> I think they took them. >> I got them. They're right in the front seat. >> Okay. >> But that's all you had? Okay. I have receipts for that I paid for. So >> I you we didn't get called for shoplift. We called for a bunch of girls fighting in the mall. Was you fighting with any girls in the mall? >> Man, that's my best friend and my other best friend. We just joke her off and say stupid to each other sometimes, not meaning it. You know what I mean? It's It wasn't nothing. It wasn't like, "Oh, I'mma fight you up in this store." Like, I got a 5-year-old. My other friend got three daughters. Like, this is our youngest friend. We're molding her. Who? who who she needs to be like we I don't they don't it's never get into trouble. So if they >> in the end they were charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Even minor disputes can quickly escalate when tempers flare and failing to take responsibility for one's actions only worsens the situation. Next up, this employee lost her future because of her reckless actions. >> Getting arrested. >> Unfortunately, you are okay. But listen, Samantha, we're going to walk you through, okay? >> No one's going to leave your side. Everything's going to be okay. >> On April 17th, 20124, police responded to a report from a retail store regarding an employee committing theft. Upon arrival, officers immediately approached the manager to understand what had occurred. >> So, what do we have so far? >> So, here's I'm going to just take a picture from my record and then I will give it to you. Her name is Samantha. is 18 years old, works for Sephora. She's with us 33 days. We uh through a tip and observation were able to catch her stealing multiple items. And in the interview process while they were interviewing her, she confessed to like, you know, stealing almost every day the last couple weeks. >> Okay. >> Say again. says we were talking. >> She knows. >> Oh, well, no. Ricky told me >> you guys. >> Yeah, because I think off quick math that we were doing in our head, she stole a couple thousand worth of merchandise. >> Told her to be concise because it'll help in, you know, evaluating her future with us. She asked, "Am I going to be fired for this? Is that a job?" >> And he was like, "Well, based off your honesty and the more honest you are with us, you take that into consideration." So >> crazy. >> Yeah. Right. >> Keep working here. >> You guys have video. Yeah, we're we'll be able to provide this. >> The suspect was identified as Samantha, 18 years old, who had only been employed for 33 days. At this point, police approached her while she was visibly remorseful. >> All right, Samantha. So, a couple things. All right. Um, certainly anytime an associate causes a loss to us, right, there's some ramifications. So, the team from Boon Beach is here to talk to you. All right. So, there's a couple things. All right. Here you go. Um all right. So because of this we are going to prosecute. You understand that right? Okay. Um but we still need our stuff back. >> Okay. All right. One last thing. All right. This is a promisary note telling us that you're going to make it right with Coles. >> All right. You still have your pen? >> All right. Your principal amount owed is what you put on this statement. Okay. >> All right. So, you're going to write that there. >> It appeared that the woman could not handle the consequences of her own actions. And sensing her distress, the police tried to reassure her. >> You're okay. Calm down. >> And then you're going to print your name and put the date. >> Get that water for you. See, >> it's okay if you can't ride. It's okay. >> You're fine. >> You are being released from employment. Okay. Yes, sir. >> You can't come back to call us to work anymore. >> Yes, sir. >> All right. Um All right. So, these gentlemen are going to have some things that they're going to cover with you. All right. >> All right. I'm sorry I didn't sleep. >> You're fine. Do you have anything in your locker that we should get for you while these gentlemen are covering a couple things for you? >> It's just my bag. >> Is it locked? >> No, sir. >> Okay. What's your locker number? >> It's It's not the right one. It's the one at the like very bottom. >> It's the very bottom. I don't think it's big locker room. >> Is it in What locker number is your locker assigned to? >> Oh, I was originally assigned to like 75, but I don't see at the bottom. >> I don't know. Judging by her emotions, the police seem to infer that there must be a reason behind her actions. >> Are you and your family struggling? >> I'm sorry. >> Are you and your family struggling >> financially? No. >> I mean, sometimes >> sometimes they take your money. >> I know. I know. We're not single, you know. I'm just trying to understand. You know, sometimes, you know, families are struggling and you take stuff and try to profit off of that, you know, to supplement whatever you guys are missing, you know, or maybe it was just easy to take and, you know, why spend $20 on Sephora when I can have it for free, right? So, but you made a mistake, you recover from this, you learn from it, never do it again, and you'll be arrested. Have you ever been arrested? No mistake? >> No. Right. All right. So, I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure whenever you go to your court day, all right, you explain yourself and listen to me. Listen to me. You go to your court day, all right? And for the first time, ever anything happened to you, there's no probation, there's no nothing. All right? A slap in the wrist. Be on your way. Don't do it again. That's all it is. Am >> I going to be rescued? >> Unfortunately, you are. Okay? >> But listen, Samantha, we're going to walk you through. Okay? >> No one's going to leave your side. Everything's going to be okay. >> Yes. >> To gather additional evidence, the manager also provided footage from the store's cameras capturing her actions. >> So, um, let me pause it. So, last night she comes with the clock carrying the same bag she's currently got in the office. Here you'll see she fidgets around. She's going to grab something off of here and then she backs up. 9004. She actually conceals a product at 9006. Um, so here she's looking at something. It's what she winds up taking, but she doesn't take it quite yet. >> Was that speaker? >> Yeah. So, she'll walk over here, walk back. >> We're putting that in there. >> No, not yet. Um, she's already got a Sephora bag in her purse that she had already taken from inside the shop. Uh, but this is one of the first things that we saw her do. She'll go back out there on the aisle and she'll conceal conceal the speaker that's out there. She's going to go do that now. >> Did you want to see this other concealment or she saw that right there? >> May not drop in the bag hours. We'll take a few. >> At the same time, the woman had completely calmed down and the police proceeded to take her away. What do you think about her case? Don't forget to leave a comment. >> There we go. >> Matthew, you're going to come with us. Okay, >> we're going to go figure everything out. All right. This is uh Officer Burke. She's going to assist me with this. Okay. >> Just go with them. It's fine. this stuff here. >> They're going to take everything. You have anything else on trans? >> Just turn your wrist. >> Yeah. Oh, what's that? Water sucks. Sorry. >> You want to press charges to the van? >> I was trying to clean it. >> All right. >> 600 delta uniform. Uniformly. Finally, she charged with scheme to defraud.
