You're going to give me 17
years. No, I'm going to write.
Please. Oh my god. I didn't steal
anything.
 I dropped it then. I didn't
steal anything.
 Not enough money. No
problem. Just be confident and forget
about the cash register.
 Okay. Don't
hold me again. Don't put me a handcuff.
Don't put
 you in handcuff cuz you're not
listening. You're walking away from me.
This is for you and an attorney later on
to defend against in court. Okay. Does
that make sense?
 Whatever you want. Just
give me the whole world and the ending
won't be bitter at all. Two women walked
into the store like any other normal
customer, but just a few minutes later,
all the cameras were focused on them.
This is for you and an attorney later on
to defend against in court. Okay, does
that make sense?
 Give me 17 years.
No, I'm going to run, please.
 On January
27th, 2023, Sephora employees discovered
two women stealing cosmetics worth more
than
$1,100. A discreet scam, a coordinated
attack.
 You have the right to remain
silent, not answer any questions. Any
statement you make must be freely and
voluntarily given. You guys ever been
arrested before? I'm just asking
questions. Right now, I'm trying to
figure out what they have going on here,
what the total amount is, what the video
shows me. Right now, I'm just talking to
you. But I have to get that out of the
way before we talk about anything. It's
just I mean, you see TV, that's how it
works. So, it's,000.
 So, do you have any
video of what's going on?
 Yeah, I'll
show you. Um,
 okay.
 Just so you guys
know that, you know, due to the price,
it's like it's 11. It's 11
$1,112. So, we're going to prosecute.
 I
got to prosecute.
 What's that?
 No.
 On
camera.
 Listen. No.
 It is on camera. I
just watched you.
 You didn't.
 I just
walked out with I was just
 What's that?
I watched you walk out with a basket in
your hand.
 Not me.
 I dropped it right
there. He didn't
 Once you Once you walk
past that door, you have stolen.
 The
statue of elite reads to temporarily or
permanently deprive somebody of the
property.
 I didn't take you. You see me?
Did Did you honestly
 Okay,
 if you want
to do me a favor, just hang that up then
if we're going to talk.
 Okay.
 Okay. So,
you tell me what happened then.
 I mean,
as you can see on the camera, I didn't
want color. I didn't I didn't You can
look on the camera. I didn't
 You You
understand that if you took any selected
any items and you put them into the one
that she carried out or put it in this
purse or anything like that, that means
you're acting in concert and you're both
you're both guilty of a felony.
 I
dropped it on the floor. I dropped it on
the floor. I didn't take it. I did not
take anything. You could see on the
camera. I didn't take anything. When he
walked outside, he'll tell you I didn't
have anything. Right or wrong?
 Well,
right now, I do have probable cause to
arrest the both of you for felony
shoplifting. Okay.
 Now, now this isn't a
courtroom. I'm not a lawyer. Neither are
you. I'm not a prosecutor. All I am is
is the guy that looks at the video,
writes the report, writes down what I
see and what they swear to me as a
statement.
 The police arrived, the bags
were opened, and the lies began to
emerge. But what shocked them most was
not the bags.
 Take a sworn statement
from him in a second. And if your sworn
statement matches that you don't have
anything and you didn't take anything,
Then we'll go then we'll go from there
right now.
All right. Just raise your right hand
for me.
 Yeah.
 Do you swear a firm thing
I'm talking about today is the truth.
The whole truth the truth.
 Yes.
 Okay. So
start to finish like what happened?
Okay. So I was on stage on the on the
sales floor. Okay.
 I saw two subjects
enter the store. Um they walk straight
directly towards the roller balls. They
each select I saw them each selecting
multiple and grabbing like three four at
a time. Um I then radio into my
supervisor and advised the situation.
They um two girls loaded up well one
there one of the girls I think the brown
not the one wearing black. The one with
the brown had a basket.
 Okay.
 Um and a
and a purse. So they each selected and
they placed the items into the basket.
They walked towards fragrance. They
looked around at the testers. Then they
walk towards the front door and in that
little cubby hole, they um they each
they well the girl with the ground, she
selected the items, the one with the
shorter hair.
 Yeah.
 She selected items
out of out of the Sephora basket and
placed them into her into her purse
while the girl with the subject in black
stood next to her kind of shielded.
Okay.
 Um I then approached both of them
outside. One went left, one went right.
My supervisor came out and I advised my
supervisor to want to follow the one in
the the Yeah, cuz I I followed the
merchandise. As as she walked back, the
one that went right is the one in the
brown. Um, so I'm sorry. The one they
Okay. Sorry. When they both walked out,
they both went left. Then when I
approached, the one in the brown went,
she turned around, walked right, and as
she's passing the Sephora, she drops the
basket right in front of the door. And
she said,
 she drops the basket in front
of me. She dropped the She dropped the
basket in front of the door and said,
"As the handcuffs glinted in the store
lights, one man burst into tears and the
other began to tell a story no one was
prepared to
hear." How about you?
 I can't real.
What's your real last name?
 On
probation.
 Okay, listen. Here's the
thing. This is what I told a kid earlier
today, and you know this. Own your [ __ ]
You are
 the thing. I'm on probation. I
got a baby. I can't up. I know I'm doing
I'm [ __ ] up by even doing this, but I
was doing it cuz I don't.
 But here's the
thing. There's no getting out of it now,
right? So, we're beyond that point of
like, hey, like we're already here. It's
already involved. So, what's your real
last name?
 I didn't even do nothing. I'm
just here. This is crazy.
 You realize
that coming with somebody who's going to
steal and helping them select what they
want to take and blocking them from you
is called acting in concert, right? Even
if you take a not a felony amount of
items, acting together to do it makes it
a felony.
 That means y'all working
together. Remember what I told you
earlier?
 That means just like just like
all you got to do is bring foil in to
try to defeat a security sensor. That
makes it a felony, too.
 Sir, I have a
question.
 Go ahead.
 Due to the fact that
I'm already on probation, would I have
to sit in jail?
 Mhm.
 Probably. Yeah.
 Oh
my god. No. No.
 It all depends on what
your on probation.
 I can't I can't I
can't I can't I can't I Who going to get
my baby? I can't do it.
 Listen, look.
We're going to make sure
 I got a whole
DCF case I have to go to on Monday. I
cannot do it. I can't.
 What is your Let
me ask you this. What are you on
probation for?
 Some serious
 some serious
[ __ ]
 Mhm.
 Okay. I don't I I'm not going
to sit here and sugar coat and act like
it's everything's going to be all right.
I don't know. I don't know. But she's
she's on probation for probably some
other felony stuff.
So, you're
 But it's just like the the
charge was here.
 Yeah. It may sting a
little bit tonight, but that's Listen,
the same thing.
 Oh my god. I can't
They're going to give me 17
years. No, I'm going to run. Please, let
me run. Please charge.
 Okay, but I can't
do this. They're going to give me prison
time.
 No, they're not. Listen, you're
going to the very, very end. Do you know
Listen, if this if this charge gets
dropped,
 this girl already don't even
want to be in this situation with me.
And she was with me. She says she don't
even she wasn't with me. So, I'm
supposed to go to jail by myself. So, I
can't even She's not even going to get
my
 one slip because of some makeup, but
the price to pay can turn a whole life
page. And the innocent child becomes a
silent witness.
 This is why I can't go
to jail. This is my real mama. I don't
have nobody. This is why I did this.
Because I had to steal stuff to pay my
bills. I don't have nobody. She don't
even want to have my baby out there
right now.
 Get you want to pull yourself
together for a sec before your daughter
sees you. Okay. You don't want this.
This is why we try not to do this, okay?
If they bring her back in,
 all right,
you got to be strong. You got to be in
control. Tell her you love her. Give her
a kiss. Right.
 Okay. This is about her
right now. It's not even This isn't
about you, me, her, nothing. Okay. This
is about how that little baby's going to
see you. Okay.
 Okay. All right. Here we
go.
Hey, a little bit. Hey.
Hi. Can you give mama kisses?
I love you. Give me a hug.
 Squeeze her
hard. Squeeze her hard.
 Give her two
arms. Give her two arms. Big hugs.
Yeah.
[Music]
Love you.
I can't I can't
hop on up.
This one's yours, right?
 You got your uh
So, right now they're they are charging
you, but like later on like the charges
get dropped.
 No, I'm saying the VOP. Oh,
VP.
 You got to be able to bond to help.
That's going to be on the jail to figure
that out.
 Both suspects were taken to
the police station for processing and
then transferred to a detention
facility, gun club. One suspect fears
long-term detention or reincarceration
if he violates the terms of his current
probation. Next, an innocent child, a
bag full of toys. But what shocked the
police the most came from the mother
herself.
 How do I Oh my god, I didn't
steal anything. I dropped it then. I see
you anything. Okay, don't hold me again.
Don't hold me in handcuffs.
Put you in a handcuff cuz you're not
listening. You're walking away from me.
Disappearing bills tears and a
suffocating struggle right in front of a
5-year-old child. What happened inside
that store?
 My Oh my god. Anything?

this aisle. I see. I'm here all the
time.

anything.
So, you weren't bagging the stuff up in
the toy section?

 All right, just hang
tight. Why don't you Why don't we go
into the security office and put my
daughter in the car then,

 Okay, we're all going to
go to the security office right now and
review the footage in front of my kids.
Okay, stop.

I will give you I bought that and I will
give you a debit card.
Okay, please.
We're going to the security office right
now so we can review.
She begged, she cried, but the
surveillance video said something
completely different. Did her husband
know about this or was he an accomplice?
I was in the bag, dude.
Sit down. Calm down.
Well, then if it's in the bag, then
we'll find it. Sit down. Calm down.
 Sit

daddy for those other
things. I'll pay for it.
 Here's a
receipt that he has.
There's another one. All right. Is there
a fire 23?
Guys, I promise there's another receipt.
That's a good person.
Blanket.
I'm guessing this is your personal
blanket.
 Yes. And and her stuff is in
here. Okay.
 Where's her ID?

car. Did Did you leave her baby and her
toys that she carries with her in her?
Yes, we'll give them to you. Relax. Calm
down.
You saw that other stuff. Okay. I swear
I did. Here's my tip. Here's my tip.
Calm down. Sit down.
Right there.
 When the promise of pay
later becomes incriminating evidence, is
it a misunderstanding or a pre-planned
scheme?
 In a court of law, you have the
right to have a lawyer uh and have him
present with you while you are being
questioned. If you cannot afford to hire
a lawyer, one will be appointed to
represent you before any questioning. If
you decide to answer any questions
without a lawyer present, you have the
right to stop answering any time until
you talk to a lawyer. Do you understand?
Yeah.
 Okay.
You don't get bonded out right away.
Uh yeah.
 Unless you you're a convicted
felon.
 Yeah, I am.
 Well, then no.
 Why
are you guys arresting me?
You're a marshmallow. Why are you
arresting me
for aft?
 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
bumped your names.
How was that?
 Because you can't walk out
of the store with merch.
 I apologize. I
was coming right back. I wasn't trying
to
 They were trying to stop you and I I
pulled up in front of you.
 You tried to
grab me. Nobody didn't grab me. I was
going to my car. How are you going to
arrest me for this?
 Because you passed
all points of sale without paying for to
get my card out of my car.
 Then you
should have left the card.
 Then I think
I shouldn't be arrested for this. I was
getting my other money out of my car.
One wrong move, one harsh sentence, but
the price to pay is much greater than a
few toys.
Yes. And that blanket and the ID. Please
let me just Can I please talk to my
kids? Please. I didn't do
anything. I'm going out to my car.
Please.
Please stop. I'm

 You want your phone to go with you?
Yeah. What? All right. Tell him I love
him. Call.
 Do you want him to have this?
Yeah. It's got all the money on it.
Under Florida law, aggravated theft is
the taking of property worth $750 or
more. Depending on the value of the
property, there are three levels of
sentencing. Level three carries a
maximum sentence of 5 years in prison or
5 years of probation and a fine of up to
$5,000. The woman was charged with
aggravated burglary. Since she was on
probation, the incident violated her
probation and she was sentenced to 365
days in county jail. After all, the
things that don't lose value, only the
dignity is gone. Hey everyone, what do
