Please. >> The fact you put your baby in harm piss me off. You're going to jail for being stupid. Here are the times when dumb mothers get caught shoplifting with their kids.

Did anybody pay for anything at this store today? >> Oh, wow. There's a lot. Why were you putting things in your granddaughter's backpack? >> On November the 29th, 2024, Flaggler County Sheriff's deputies responded to a shoplifting incident at a Target in Palm Coast, Florida. It involved a mother, Yolina, a 17-year-old daughter, and the grandmother. Store employees first spotted the daughter stealing cosmetics and decided to confront her. Heat. Heat. Meanwhile, the mother and grandmother were also caught on surveillance leaving the store with stolen items. The officers reached the staff office where the daughter was being held. The employees immediately showed them footage of the crime. >> Hello. What's going on? >> Can't speak all of us. Okay. >> This is what she took. >> Yeah. So, her parents tell you want to brief on >> Yeah. So, this young lady had this stuff inside of that green bag and >> a backpack over here. >> Okay. >> She just decided to walk out. I stopped her, escort her back here. More information revealed. She's with mom and grandma here. >> Okay. >> Mom and grandma did not see me bringing her from points of sale to here. >> Okay. >> So, they're completely out of the loop on that. Um, on camera, the mom is putting stuff in her bag/backpack as well. I don't know if she walked out with it or not when we escorted her back here. That's where our focus went. So, um, it looks like the mom is potentially walking around looking for her who's obviously detained here. >> Okay. >> So, >> how old are you? [Music] >> That's alcohol. >> I don't drink that. My parents do. I don't drink that. I don't drink that. I don't even drink anything. >> But you put it in your backpack. My grandma my my mom first and then my my mom first and then my grandma did. They both put that in. >> They put it in your backpack. >> Yes. >> H >> I just don't drink this. This is my mom and my dad and like but my grandma doesn't really drink it a lot of alcohol. She doesn't drink a lot. >> There's some suspicion that there's some resale activity happening. So, where's mom and grandma at now? >> So, grandma's outside with presumably more stolen merchandise at the vehicle. I think she has the car keys to the vehicle. >> You had the car keys? >> No. >> To notify mom. >> Yeah, that was our first thing. >> So, that's mom. Mom walked out with the cart and mom's right here. >> Okay. This is grandma right here. >> Backpack. Or did she put it in her backpack? >> No, I think mommy and grandma >> Yeah, mom and grandma both put it in that backpack. >> In that backpack. >> And then mom put it in in her purse there. >> I'm assuming mom does some kind of record because why are you >> I'm confused.

This young lady. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> Mom and grandma were putting stuff in this young lady's backpack. >> Correct. >> Did mom or grandma put anything in their belongings that they didn't pay for? Yes, we believe so. That's what we're confirming right now. >> Okay. >> I'm just trying to figure out the specifics so when I confront mom, >> that was my question, too. Yeah. Multiple items concealed in multiple different bags. >> And mom's still wandering the store. >> Yeah, I believe so. I haven't seen her come in. She's wearing all black. the only way we can try to find like roughly where she's at. >> There's >> You have the car keys. >> You have the car. >> There's no way she's going to get into the car without I have the car keys again. >> Where's the car parked? >> She doesn't have a phone. >> I have no good memory, but I don't remember. It's probably somewhere. >> Is that you go on that side or this side? >> I know it's this side. I know it's this side. I >> country side. >> Yes. I really What kind of car? >> Black Toyota. A black Toyota. >> The officers began questioning the young girl and seemed a little lost. So, they turned their attention to Yolina, who was still unaware of what had happened with her daughter. >> Who do you live with? >> Um, my grandma. >> She used to like my legal guardian. >> Well, I don't know how to say guardian. >> Yeah, that's her. >> Where do you go to school? high school in that correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm really scared of driving. She can't drive the car yet. >> Apparently, it's a whole family affair. >> She was putting stuff in her backpack. Mom's putting stuff in her backpack. Grandma's putting stuff in her backpack. >> So, we're trying to find out where mom is now in the store so I can go get mom and bring her in here. I guess we'll just take everyone to jail. You >> ever been in trouble with the law before? >> No. >> You seemed very confused by that question. Have you or have you not? >> No. I sometimes are just confused with the word law. >> Okay. Police. >> Have you ever been arrested? >> No. >> Has mom ever been arrested? >> I don't think so. No. >> I don't think so. What about grandma? Outstanding. Come on in here. Got him off. Step on in here. >> Huh? Does that look familiar? Looks familiar. >> Yeah, it looks very familiar, doesn't it? >> All right. Why don't you go ahead and have a seat?

Office is [Music] like >> your hospital. >> No, it's not a hospital. >> Okay. >> You're just down here for Thanksgiving.

The mother was taken into custody and charged with theft and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Next up is yet another reckless woman who made the foolish decision to run from officers while carrying her toddler. >> Put him right there. >> You're hurting him. >> I got my back. >> Let go. Please. >> You're going to jail. >> Please. On February the 11th, 2020, officers rushed to a Home Depot following reports of a shoplifting incident. Upon arriving at the store, they found a woman clutching a toddler as they approached to confront her. >> Hold that for me. >> All right, get up. >> You have anything in your back? >> No. >> Do you have anybody here with your baby? >> It was you. >> Stay in the car. >> Stay in the car.

So quick. >> The woman showed no concern about being caught shoplifting and didn't display a hint of remorse despite involving her toddler in this whole mess. >> Can you walk me outside? No. Who are they? >> My friend and my son is in the car. My cousin. How can you just I'm not going to I don't know. Her phone probably dead or something. I'm not going to do anything.

Show us that bag. >> Yeah, I'm going to do that. >> You got gloves or you need them? >> I got them. All right, >> go ahead. >> All right, up. >> This reckless stunt only made things worse for the woman as she was going to have more charges against her now. And soon after, she did start to show some remorse, but it was a little too late. Oh, please. >> You're going to jail. >> Please. >> I told you it was a stupid ticket. >> He just told me. >> I told you that's what it was. I sat there in front of you and I said, "It's a stupid ticket. I told you I'm not going to jail." >> He didn't. You just told me. >> 521 was done.

Call my baby home. >> Put your feet in. >> Put your feet in. Put it in. >> Can you call my >> Before they could wrap up the investigation and take her to jail, the officers had to wait for a family member to pick up the baby. But even that proved difficult as everyone seemed to be avoiding her. Possibly a sign of just how problematic she really was. >> And my baby, his phone there, too. >> Yeah, your son. I told him, "Hello, I told him to come. They need to get your baby." And they look [Music] >> Hello, >> major. >> Hello. >> Yes, this is Rubio. Where you at? Karita. >> Uh, right here.

He knows you. >> The woman was taken to jail and charged with theft, resisting arrest, and endangerment. If you thought this woman was cuckoo, wait till you see Kelly, a young woman who made a very irrational decision to steal and then got her three-year-old kid involved in it, too. >> Some toys that were taken um this had a tag that was moved off of it and then we have a few other random things that >> you got a you got a a snooder in the council, three bindles of dope, and a and a pipe in your back pocket and two torches in the car. You had your hand in the kid's pants. Did you stuff something in his in his pants? On August the 17th, 2024, officers received reports of a shoplifting incident at a local store. When they arrived at the scene, they found a woman called Kelly, who seemed very ashamed and apologetic about the whole thing. >> Hey, Kelly. Officer Rumbler, Brimfield Police. >> No. >> So, I understand you got caught stealing. Why were you doing that? >> Okay. Start a you just What's going on? that I just feel stupid even talking about it because I feel like no one believes you. >> Well, what's up? Why don't they believe you? What's going on though? >> Because I have been caught before these things literally like to have the things that I mostly just they had to watch their dad overdose. >> They're they didn't ask for it. My son was talking about these things he wanted for school and him and his friends and I just saw it and I know my bills are only like $500 and a half. Sounds like you're going through a really hard time right now. >> She concealed into our purse, including her headphones that she removed some alarm system on that we have. So, we got that back. Some toys that were taken. Um, this side had a tag that was moved off of it. And then we have a few other random things that were just in shopping bags for sure. >> Is there anything like else missing that we know about? >> Not that we know. That should account for everything. We didn't search it first cuz we're not allowed to. That's up to you guys if you want to. >> Kelly, why are we stealing? Cuz this this isn't something new. >> Yeah, you can stop acting >> cuz I've given you summons twice. Officer Deal's given you a summon and I believe officer Crosi has as well. So why did we have we not learned our lesson? >> I thought I have I don't know. >> No, >> I don't know. >> Do we just not have money or what are we doing? >> No, I don't. I had no business even coming and spending the money I had on that stuff. I >> Why do you have your kid out this late anyway? How old is he? >> He's three and a half. >> So is he three or six? That's a big difference. >> Oh, okay. >> Obviously. Jeez. Yeah. >> So, the only thing she did pay for was the diapers. >> You know, everything there was paid for. Here's the other receipt, but she's been honest with us so far. As far as we know, she trespass. >> What are the scissors for? You want hair in here or what? >> Do you use it to cut the stuff? >> No, I just I have a lot of Oh, that's Yeah, that's >> scissors are criminal tools, you know, right? >> No, I did not. My phone's busted. cuz she's been in here before and she's stolen from us before and we noticed that the first time that we caught her in the act. >> You guys have priors? >> No, no priors because uh I think she did it off camera or something like that. It wasn't clear enough that I wanted to use. So, this was the first time that we watched her from start to finish when she came in here. Watch her go to the bathroom, take everything, and when she failed to get the stuff at the register, we took her on that and got the rest. >> Okay. Kelly was the mother of a three-year-old and claimed that she did it for her kids, hoping that making such assertions would get her some sympathy points from the officers. But when they searched her car, a much darker truth came out and her entire sub story unraveled. >> Here's Ellie. >> I know you stole from here. I know you stole from Walmart. There's a Marshall's receipt in your bag and I see a Marshall bag on your seat. Is anything from there stolen? >> No. >> Do you mind if I check the receipt up to match? >> Yep. >> Is car unlocked? >> Yeah. >> All my stuff. If not, I know your key was in your purse because I put it back in there. >> All right. Could you just step over here with my partner, please? Just leave it. >> What's that? Just set that back in there for me. Hey, buddy. Can I get in here? >> Grab your toys. >> Hold on to these guys. Okay. >> It's Spider-Man. >> So, there's a shirt in there. >> Straw. There's something in this. >> Okay. Did you check that cigarette bag? >> I did not yet. >> Oh, that's that's dope. Be careful. >> Well, there I already opened it. There was like >> powder. >> Some type of gray stuff in here. >> It's probably >> Is that what that is? >> Uh I don't know. Probably gray. There's probably some kind of mix. So, be careful. >> Just want to take a look at There's three of them. >> What is Well, that's his Their dad just overdosed in front of them not that long ago. He's in I had to drop him off at um a silver living. >> It's not smart at all. And I don't I think it's do they sit right in the center. You got to This is >> I have I I literally I don't I >> Well, here's here's the rub. It's yours now. Okay. So, you're getting arrested tonight. >> What came out of the pack? >> Cigarettes. I I promise. >> What do you mean? What's in it now? >> Nothing. It's just empty. But you want a cigarette? >> Cigarette bag. >> Cuz I asked her to smoke a cigarette. >> Okay. Do you have anything on you in your pockets? Don't reach. Just answer. We're not going to We're not going to cuff you. >> Don't even try to run either. Just lean against the car. Kelly, >> listen. >> Yes, I do. I have it. It's in my back pocket. >> Hand it over. >> Don't Don't reach. I'll get it. What's in there? >> Turn around. >> It's a vital. It's He smokes out of it. >> Turn. Face the car. Can you spread your feet for me? Put your hands on top of the roof for me. >> Oh my god. >> Can you spread your feet wider for me? Thank you. In your back pocket here. >> Yes. >> Yep. Glass smoking device. >> He doesn't live with me, buddy. >> You can stop us. Okay. Not. Not me. >> All right. Do >> you have anything else on you, Kelly? >> Anything in your bra? >> No. >> If we go to the jail, it's automatically an addition. Hold on. Hold on. Let me finish. It's automatically an extra F3 if we go in there with it. >> So, if we doain water, >> be legit with me right now. >> We're not going to check your bra. >> But listen, you're you're going to be on video. >> You're on you've been on video since we met you, but you're going to be on video every angle until you get put taken to jail. You are going to jail. Okay. But here's what you got to do. You got to call your mom and have her come get the kid. There's no getting around it. >> I don't have any handcuffs. >> What's that? >> You don't want it. >> No. No. I don't want to do that to the kid. The only reason you're not being put in handcuffs right now is cuz your kids here. Okay. So, you are going to sit on this curb. You're going to call your mom. >> Kelly, before you walk away, where did this come from or what is this? >> It's it's it's been in my car for >> um I maybe it was at um we went to Goodwill. >> 110%. >> Yeah.

Where's your phone at? >> In my purse. >> Let's go get it. You are under arrest. You're just not in handcuffs cuz I'm giving you a little respect with your child. Okay. >> Kelly tried her best to make excuses to get out of the dilemma. But things got worse when officers discovered that she was already on probation for theft. She turned even more desperate and kept lying. But nothing she said seemed to be working. >> What happened to his face? >> He has rashes. Okay, >> we both have poison ivy all over us. >> All right, let's make this phone call. >> Hey, Siri. >> Three trifolds of her snutter. She had this in her back pocket. Hey, Kelly, back over here. >> Do you want me to like take him over to my cruiser? She likes police cars. Distracted. >> Yeah, I'm not going to cuff her till this kid's gone. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> If she's not That's not dangerous. >> I know. No, I have >> everyone makes mistakes. >> I take drug test all the time.

That's exactly what she thought it was for. >> I'm just Well, you hand it to me, so it's kind of funny to me. >> Kelly kept blaming her husband for all the trouble, even though the illegal substances were found on her. Soon, the officers began tightening the screws, and it didn't look good for Kelly. She was well and truly done for. >> This is the fourth time he's overdosed, and they've never they don't they haven't done anything about it. Well, I don't I don't know what would make you think it's a good idea to drive around with this dope in your center console in his pipe in your back pocket when you're out shopping. >> Clothing in my back pocket, but I I I know. >> Where was that pipe at before? >> 253. >> It was in I just got all all of his clothes were in my car.

The craziness does not stop there as up next is a clueless woman who thought being pregnant would somehow excuse her from a shoplifting charge. >> Why am I being [Music] >> You took it. >> That was your first time. >> I know. I have the fire coming. Can you please have a seat for me? On January the 30th, 2024, police officers responded to a call from the Old Navy Department Store concerning shoplifting reports. The incident involved a pregnant woman who believed her condition exempted her from consequences. When confronted by law enforcement, she defied clear commands, showing disregard for authority. Her delusion that pregnancy would shield her from arrest was about to burst like a bubble. >> So, what's up? Stop. You're being detained. Drop what's in your hands. >> What do you mean? >> You're being detained. Droplets in your hand. >> Sir, why am I being tamed? Sir, why am I being detained? Please stop. What are you doing?

That's all I've been saying is if I don't listen to my case. >> So, you're under arrest. >> That's all I've been saying, sir. >> Okay. >> I promise you. Nobody wants to listen. >> Deep breath. Take a deep breath. >> Listen. >> Okay. >> I just want to do my head. >> So, I told you to stop. >> You tell me. >> You instead chose to run >> because I don't get why you doing this to me.

I can't. >> Do you understand? He speeds dresses. >> Okay, >> that was I promise you that's all I've been dying. I am dying and nobody wants to listen to me. >> In a desperate plea, her emotional distress peaked during the search procedure, but the officer remained composed and professional, prioritizing both protocol and her condition. I keep saying it over and over. You guys don't believe me. >> Okay. >> I promise you I don't mean to be disrespectful at all. >> I don't mean to be disrespectful at all. >> You're all right. >> I promise you. >> Going to go over here. >> And I don't understand why. >> So if you under arrest, I'm going to search you before you get in my car.

Sit in. >> How do you guys do this to me? >> Sit in. >> You chose to run. >> Sit in. Move your legs. I shut the door. >> I don't understand why. >> The evidence of the crime was undeniable, leaving no room for her to deceive anyone. Though the officer showed empathy, he remained bound by the law as her choices had led her there. Her attempts to justify herself only underscored that pregnancy did exempt one from facing the consequences of her actions. You can't now. >> Now you can use >> this is the but she stole too like all the old navy. >> Just because you're pregnant just a precaution. I'm going to have the fire department come look at you.

I'm pregnant. >> I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant. >> That's hard. Do you understand these rights? >> What is this? >> It's your Miranda warning. >> You have rights. Do you understand them? >> What is this? >> Okay. >> I don't care if you're pregnant. Don't steal things. You are under arrest and you're going to go to jail. Just so you know. Okay. >> So, you don't understand. >> Okay. On March the 27th, 2024, a routine theft investigation in Frederick, Maryland, took an unexpected turn when officers encountered two pregnant women, Mela Sadaru and Melissa Stefan, reported for stealing in several stores. And up next is a dumb pregnant woman who thought she could make a run for it after getting caught shoplifting. We're 1500. Well, >> what? Well, how do I have two charges or something? >> All right. So, we're going to have rescue come and check you out. Okay. >> How do I have two charges? >> On January the 15th, 2023, officers responded to a shoplifting incident at Bath and Body Works in Florida involving a pregnant woman infamous for her swift and calculated thefts. As the cops interrogated the employees, they marveled at the skillful and very genius methods she used to steal from the store. >> What happened to the shoes? >> Um, we came in, grabbed the basket, um, filled it up, grabbed another basket, just her usual. I did not physically see her when she was on the floor. Hay, do you want to explain to him like the process today? I was not able to help her best cuz I was still standing right here when she came in cuz I was trying not to like go in her way or whatever. She basically got one basket came up this way and I know she was on this candle while grabbing stuff. >> And then when she filled up that basket, she grabbed another one from over there and then went back to fill more. And then she grabbed some gift sets on her way out and she hit our wallflower wall. And you you physically saw this happen like all of this occur like what she grabbed and everything.

We also had like a >> case up the street. >> You were fine. I did it. anybody that's going to take birth priority. I'm just elated that she finally got her day. I don't know how long she'll be in there for because she's usually up pretty quick, but still no amount. >> So, what time did you did you see her like come in and did you see this occur? Just a ballpark. It doesn't have to be exact. >> I say I put 447 on the report. That's about when I told u my manager and supervisor that she came in and they proceeded to call the police. >> Um You say she left. It's probably 4 minutes after that. >> Mhm. >> So, probably like >> So, she did all of that in 4 minutes. >> Yeah, she's very quick. She'll It usually takes her longer now to walk out the door since she's pregnant when to come in and grab the stuff. >> Gotcha. So, at 4:47, she came in. She What' she do when she came in? >> So, she immediately grabs her basket and heads straight to our regular candle wall.

Or it was just like actual gifts. >> Yeah. Like these. >> Yeah. Some of the ones like the bag. She had like three of them in her hands. As the investigation progressed at the crime location, other officers located the woman. However, when they attempted to reason with her, she made a very ignorant decision that was only going to compound her troubles. >> What? Why? Why you messing with me? >> 1500. >> But why? >> Already? >> Yeah. >> Oh my [ __ ] >> Are you pregnant? >> Yes, I'm pregnant. >> And you're doing all this stuff. >> I can't breathe, sir. >> Let me take off.

Like many guilty individuals, she wasn't any different as she attempted to detach herself from her actions while playing the sympathy card. However, her tactics failed, leaving her to regret the choice she had made as it came at a significant cost. >> What am I being charged with? I'm confused. >> We got a call about >> that you I guess we're stilling out about the bodywork. When today that's the call behind the first church. >> That's all I know. >> This is crazy.

It's not like I'm going to get out of this car. I just I hope it's not soaking in the lake. I don't know if it's going to let him. >> The reality of her situation began to sink in, but it was too late to undo her reckless decisions. She was now coming to realize that having a big belly did not mean that she was allowed to go around shopping without paying for the items. >> I'm not going to run no more. Y'all already know who I am. >> What's that? >> I'm not going to run no more. Y'all already know who I am. I don't need an extra charge. I'm not going to keep trying to run.

So, what you're saying is that in December you did not exit the store with 18 candles. >> No. >> That you did not pay for about $700 in merchandise. >> And they got a warrant for out for me for this. This is crazy. In the end, she was charged with resisting arrest and theft.
