They came to Target for a five-finger discount and left with a pair of handcuffs. Here are five cases when Target customers think they're above the law. Number five, what starts as a laugh ends with charges for these shoplifting teens. Two teenagers walk into a Target store with a plan that doesn't go unnoticed. Throughout their time in the store, the teens pick up a Nintendo Switch, a lamp, and some baby clothes. Surveillance footage shows how they place items in the cart and later head to checkout.

So the wallet that you guys selected when you guys came in and the Nintendo Both teens insist they paid for their items and show receipts. When asked about the Switch, they admit it wasn't theirs or claimed they didn't know it was in the cart. Like I said, I saw the whole move. Mhm. Well, they want to prosecute.

Go passenger side. I thought was like they've been worse. Hop in there. Where's your kid at? Number one, they taught their kids to steal, but karma came first. A family steals over $1,000 in goods from a Target using a stroller and their kids to hide the items. Security footage shows the parents directing the theft. Here's what happens when police arrive. Doing all right. How about you? I'm good. So I have that um I have them on concealment um of cosmetics all this and then they applied false labels to the clothes in here. So here's the cosmetics and here is the actual price of clothes and I'll get a ticket switch receipt for you in a sec. Do you guys have your receipt? It was in the bag I believe. So is all of this? Yes. All the cosmetics were concealed into their bags and then this they paid for it. So I'll check it out with the difference. Can you uh bookmark the right? Yeah. Yeah. So I'll print out a receipt for what they actually paid for versus uh the full amount of that's going to be the receipt of what they actually paid for. Is there some of the stuff they pay for on these receipts or these are these are all So the longer one this is all stuff they concealed into their personal bag. So they didn't even attempt to pay for that and the smaller one they put a false label on it on five items for it to come up shorter. So I still got to do the investigation figure out exactly what's happening. all was going to happen was pictures of us and bam. Well, that's before that's what I do. Um for one year. So once law enforcement gets involved, whatever they do after is up to them. You said that um all that we weren't going to go to jail. He was just going to ban us for a year from Target. He was explaining his problem. Yeah, I didn't say they weren't. They're told they're banned from Target for a year and if they return during that time, they can be arrested. Today is September 22nd, 2024. If you guys are seen on target property, that means the entire parking lot excluding the sidewalks, uh you will be arrested for one year. And then on September 22nd, 2025, you guys are free to uh come back to this Target and shop. Um and then you guys are free to shop at any Target anywhere else. But moving forward, um, if you guys do commit another like offensive dishonest activity, whether it's even like skip scanning like $15, the same thing will happen and you'll get a second charge added. So, go to jail. It'll be a lot worse cuz there'll be a repeat after that. So, kind of moving forward, um, let's please not do this again. She had previously mentioned that she needed to change her baby diipers. So, However you guys want to do it. I don't want to honestly impede the baby just because of all this going on. Yeah, you're good. So, we are going to I'm not the investigating deputy. The other guy that just stepped out. So, I have no I have no idea what neither one of us can answer basically what we're trying to say. Once we once I make the stop, you guys come back here and then law enforcement gets involved. Whatever happens after, I don't control. Because I thought you said that law enforcement wasn't going to get involved. Yeah. Like we ran out. You said that would happen, but we just came back. Well, that was also before I realized was He actually didn't take anything. It was just me. But you he was aware of that. So he's in confidence to this whole thing. The man insists he didn't know what was happening, but video evidence shows otherwise. It's clear that this wasn't a simple misunderstanding, but a planned effort to steal. If we were to ask him if he had no idea this was going on. I really didn't. I was holding the baby the entire time. Watch the camera. We have We have you on camera. Yeah. Right next to her when she was putting all the stuff in the bag. I did not watch her put anything. I mean, if we got to pay everything, I'll pay for it all. Once you pass uh the towers, uh it's past that point where we we don't we don't do that. But um what he's the primary one here. So I'm not sure depending on how much I don't know how much what's the value of stuff you guys took. That's one of the determinant factors. Also you have kids here. So that's another determinant factor there. So it depends on the value of what you guys took. When it's past a certain threshold, we have to make an arrest. Also, because you have your kids here, that's another thing that we have to take into consideration as well. All right. How'd you guys get here? Our car. You drove. Okay. So, this is what's going to happen. All right. You guys committed a crime, so we have to do an arrest. All right. But based on the children being here, you have to go to jail. You're going to I'm going to file a warrant. All right? And you're going to have to follow up with the court case. I have to go to jail. You guys told a felony amount and scheme to defraud is a felony. Two felonies there. We don't have a choice. I'm pay I can pay for it. I You should have paid for it before we got called here. I don't even know. All right. Echass trespass. It's a felony. Okay. So, $760. That's a felony. And then changing the taxes scheme to defraud, which is also a felony. That's not just a trespassing. Because of the amount stolen and the way it was done, the charges escalate. I'm getting arrested. Yes. I'm going to jail. Yes. All right. Just do me a favor. Do you want to take off? You want to take off? You're watching stuff. I'm I'm doing you guys a huge favor by letting you go so we don't have to do issues going on. Yes. So we don't have to deal with all the kids and figuring out how they're going to real just step over here for me. You don't have anything crazy in your pockets, right? No. My wallet. All right. I'm just going to take a bottle. All right. Just don't reach for anything. You want the wallet to go with her? Yeah. What's this? My keys. You want the keys to go with her? Yes. Okay.

Um, usually once he goes to intake when they do the book ending right there at the desk, they'll be able to tell them what it is when they do his fingerprint. One parent is taken into custody while the other is allowed to leave with the children. Law enforcement decides to file charges through a warrant to avoid taking the entire family into custody on the spot. It takes about an hourcribed for as well. Medicine I'm prescribed for adult.
