When you mix overconfidence with zero planning, you don't get a criminal mastermind. You get a mug shot. Here are five cases when stupid thieves are arrested. Number five, Target worker gets busted after quietly pocketing $5,000. Police respond to a theft report from a Target store where a staff member is accused of stealing cash from the registers. After digging into video surveillance and internal data, Target headquarters identified an employee as the source of the missing funds. Here's what happens next. >> So, what do you need from me? >> Do you want to go stand with them? >> Basically, just tell us what happened. >> Um, okay. So, I received a tip from the Target headquarters investigation that there's been cash stuff here at the store um about 30 days ago. So, starting June 20th, um the team member took money out of the drawer. Um this is him here. I can actually since I already have it up, I can just show you the video. Took it out of the register. >> Yeah, he removed it from the register and put it in his pocket. >> Um he already admitted to all the theft. Um we have them for about $800, but he admitted to close to 5,500. So, he's been doing it since he got since he started working here a year ago. >> He admitted to 5,500. Yeah. >> Um, how many different occurrences are there since June? >> Um, I actually have it off. Okay. >> I left my copy in there and I don't want to keep going in. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we have another officer with him now. So, >> you know, >> next time I have all this stuff printed for you. I just didn't know what exactly you guys needed. You said you like a sworn statement for me. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. this. I don't know why I like that, but it has his uh date of hire. Estimated loss is $824. Um that's the proven amount. So on the 20th, the 22nd, the 24th. Um so on the 20th, he took $139 out at 335. On the um um then yeah, at 12:47, he took out $160. at 155 he took out $125. Um 23rd at 1023 he took out $160. On 24th at 1151 he took out $240. Um so there was 1 2 3 4 five incidents that we can account for within the last 30 days which equals $824. >> Um >> storm management walks officers through five separate thefts that occurred over the past 30 days. Okay. So for the 20th since there's three different occurrences, what did he take it out of the same register all three times? >> No. So the POSOS is the like a register number. So at this time he took out a register 124. This time he took out a register 125. And at this time he took out a register 123. >> Okay. Um, and how often do you guys like count the money in the drawers? >> There's somebody that counts the money uh each Well, they don't count the money. They just remove the money out of the register and put it inside of the cash office and the cash office attendant the next morning counts all the money that's in the register, but she wouldn't know how much money is supposed to be there. That's what um that's kind of like what the uh the bank in uh Target headquarters does. She can only what she does just accounts for the money that's being sent out and then also just verifying there's no counterfeit bills that were accepted. >> Okay. So she counts each drawer separately. >> Yes. >> Okay. So she just counts the money and then somewhere down the line Target uh headquarters or the bank determines reconcile Y to say, "Okay, you guys sold this much on this register. You accepted let's say $500 in cash. So we should have $500 in bills coming in." But you only have 240 bills that came in. >> And then that's when like the Target headquarters looks into it, look at all the cash transactions, see each time the register was open. And that's how we got him on video, going into the register, taking money out, and then putting it in stock. >> So that's how you guys caught him was Target headquarters, was kind of doing the checks and balances. >> Exactly. Um >> once they've gathered the full picture, the officers confront the employee behind it all. Hello. >> Hi. >> I don't have anything on me. >> Got to make sure you got nothing on. >> Anything that's in the statement? >> Nope. >> Wallet. Yeah. Wallet, tobacco, cigarettes, lighter, keys, and so before we do anything, just in case, I'm just going to read. >> I required to warn you before you make any statement that you have the following constitutional rights. You have the right to remain silent and not answer any questions. >> Any statement you make must be freely. You have the right to the presence of representation of any statement. >> If you cannot afford a lawyer, you are entitled to the presence and representation of a court or a lawyer before you make any statement and during any questioning. >> If at any time during the interview you do not wish to answer any questions, you are privileged to remain silent. >> You can make >> I can make no threats or promises to induce you to make a statement. >> This must be of your own free will. Any statement can be and will be used against you in the court of law. You have any questions? Does that all make sense to you? >> Yes. >> You want to talk to us? >> There's nothing really to say. I mean, >> he acknowledges the thefts, says he was having financial problems, and admits he didn't think he'd get caught. >> It's pretty obvious. It's pretty obvious like what's going on, bro. >> Just having a hard time with money. >> Man, trust me, we all been in there sometimes. >> So, can you explain what was going on in your head at the time of those >> that I wasn't going to get caught? You're not going to get caught. And I knew that eventually over time and over time and over time it was going to build up and build up and I just I couldn't I couldn't stop myself from doing it and I wanted to. I'm like, "No, this is wrong. This is wrong. Can you um did you um can you specifically tell me like what registers you use? >> Um 12 like today or in general? >> Oh, you did today too? >> Well, yeah, but that was from yesterday that >> So this is from today and that was from the >> So all these all these instances were guest services. No, some from GU service and probably from registers. >> And so there's no >> uh how many times have you done this in total? >> I lost count. >> How many times? >> I mean that's that's the amount 5,000. >> So you took 5,200 >> that's what I that's the number that I could come up with. I couldn't there from what um Brandon or not Brandon >> from what the AP said he said that sounds about the roughly amount right that I took. >> So you work today? >> Yes. >> Okay. What were your hours today? >> 10 to 4:30. >> 10 to 4:30. Okay. So at 4:30 when you went to clock out like what happened? >> No, I just I haven't I wasn't able to tell cuz they pulled me in here. >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah. >> And then you've just been here since? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So like today, when did do you remember like what time it was when 11:30 to 12 when I took that? >> So when when these things are happening, do you specifically work at those registers or >> um I'm just coming up to help with lines or they'll call for backup and I'll help them with that. And then once the lines are clear, that's when >> the suspect admits he'd sometimes jump in to help during busy hours and that's when he'd swipe cash without anyone noticing. >> Okay. And then so you're never specifically tasked by your um you know your management to work any registers? >> No. No. My main thing is carts, but I'm also cross-trained on guest service and driver and also register. So when I say hey >> how many times would you say that you would actually be tked to work register? >> Um is that ever >> or do you? >> There were a few there were a few times yes that I was tked to do registers. >> What would be a few times? Uh like three or four times. >> Three or four times. And you've been working how long here? >> Uh 11 almost a year. >> So you've been working here almost a year and you've been asked three or four times to work the registers. >> No, no, no. There's no Okay, let me start over. From when I started, I was started off as guest service and that was my task. So I would guest service. got service is taking returns um taking out drive up orders and doing um on those guest services section. >> Yes. >> How long did you do that for? >> Uh for about I'd say 3 months. >> Okay. >> And then they switched it over to card attendant cuz that's what I was originally hired for. >> So you've been working card attendant for approximately eight months. Is that correct? >> Yeah, I would say so. So out of all the eight months, out of those eight months that you've been working card attendant, were you ever tasked to work the registers throughout that time at all? >> Yes. >> Are those the front registers where people check out or the customer? >> Registers or guests? >> And how many times would that be? Like maybe a few times, you said? >> Yeah, like three or four times. >> Three or four times. So out of the eight months, you only work three or four times in the cash registers. Correct. >> Yeah. >> What started as a spur-ofthe- moment decision slowly turned into a full-on habit. Um, so obviously they spoke to you about a few dates in June. So on any of those days, were you working the registers or were you doing >> I wasn't um tasked to do it, but they were getting backed up on drive up. So I hopped on the desk to help cut out the line and then the same with the registers, they were backed up, so I hopped on the registers to help clear the lines out. So >> So how would you log into the registers? through my um my device >> through your device. >> Yeah. >> And that device is strictly assigned to you. >> Yeah. >> All right. And how do you log into that device >> with the store number which is >> okay and then >> and then you would put in your ID number >> and what would be your ID number? >> 76557914. >> You got that offender. >> Can you repeat the numbers one more time? 76557914. >> Okay. Thank you. >> And then my PIN would be uh 561 305. >> You said 561305. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, >> does that match up? >> Yeah. >> So, how do you So, what do how do you how do you log into the register using that? >> I just with the little it has a little >> like a scan. >> Yeah. And it just scans and it locks you in. >> And then it logs you in on the register. You have to scan like the register barcode. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. The register. Yeah. >> He claims that he used his assigned device to access different registers, cleared out lines, and took advantage of brief distractions to manually open drawers and pocket the money. >> So, walk me through what you were doing when you would log into the registers. Um, I would just take my device and scan in and then I would just, >> um, you know, finish the line, whichever line was there, whether that be gut service or there, and then, you know, I'd look, make sure no one was looking, and then I go in the drawer and take them off. >> Okay. Does the drawer open automatically when you >> No, I would push there was a side icon where you could open the drawer and it brought down a drop down menu. You open drawer and that's how the drawer would open. >> Okay. So, you have to manually press buttons in order to open the drawer. Yeah. >> Okay. Has anybody I guess like ever said anything to you about this before today? >> No. >> Okay. >> So, guess I'll show them. Just make sure. Um, hold on. Apparently, we can't make these bigger.

Yeah. >> Okay. >> I'm not going to die. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> And just to seal the deal, surveillance footage confirms it all. Um, so did the store kind of explain to you that they were going to call us? >> Um, I kind of figured. >> Okay. >> I mean, it's obvious. It's over $1,000, which in law terms isn't that federal. I mean, they can't that lead death or I don't know how it goes. >> Yeah. Um, okay. So, you're So, you kind of know what's going to happen then, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay.
