Throughout the encounter, Lamar remains cooperative, saying he was told to grab and run and didn't know about the trackers. >> So, did you have any active participation? Were you holding jeans when you left the store? And like I said, if if if you lie to me, I'm just all I got to do is look at the camera when I get back and see exactly what it was. Okay. So, did you steal these jeans, too? Okay, I got you. All right. What' you do? Tell tell me tell me what happened in the store so I can know your statement. We walked around and then took the jeans. He put on stuff. >> Okay. >> And then we put on a couple of jackets and then he told me to grab the jeans. I just >> Okay, I got you. How many pairs did you say you grabbed? >> He just told me to take the stack slides. It's probably 10, 11, 12, 15. >> Okay. Did you know that they had trackers on them? No. But they had the little sensors on them and stuff. >> I got you. I know that. >> All right. What's your What's your buddy's name? >> I only know him by his like >> what he's known out. What's he known out as? >> Uh poetic. >> Poetic. >> Yeah. >> Okay. What's he look like? I think I've heard that name before. >> Medium kind of dude. Like 20 late 20s. >> Okay. >> Early 30s. >> Medium. Was he Is he dark skin, light skin? >> Like a caramel color. >> All right, I got you. All right, man. Um, so like I said, we got some steps that we got to do. One, we got to recover the pants. Okay. Uh, you got the keys on you for this car? >> I didn't get it. >> Where are the keys at? >> I was when I was search helping them. I put it probably on the car somewhere. >> Okay. You think we were going to talk to you, so you just ditch the keys real quick? >> No, I just I was helping them put stuff out. I got you stuff in there, too. Can I go get it? I'm not going to clean up. >> Just stay here. It's all right. Where in Where in this car? Do the keys? >> It's right on the seat over there. >> All right. You want to go see if you can >> Can you get the keys off the seat, please? >> Oh, there you go. >> They're on this passenger seat by where >> they know what's going on. >> Lamar admits his mistake and allows officers to search the vehicle. >> Are they family? They friends? >> It's like my mom right there. >> Okay, I got you. Where are you staying right now? >> I'm with them and like my job cuz I'm in school and stuff. My mom and dad is >> uh this me. >> She going to hang out for a second. We're going to talk. >> No, you're good. I have school tomorrow. >> All right. Um, so can you do me a favor? You you have permission to to go in the car? >> Yeah. >> Uh, tomorrow. >> Can you don't go in the car, but can you just go over to the car? He's going to chirp the the tracker real quick. We just want to make sure it's in there cuz that's the most expensive thing. >> What was that? >> Don't go in the car. >> Oh, just listen. Just >> listen to the tracker. Should chirp should chirp three times and then pause and then three and then pause. Otherwise, you said it'll chirp for the next like 10 minutes. Okay. Yeah, that should be good. Appreciate you. You hear anything? >> No. >> Yeah. >> So, all right. So, here's the big thing. The tracker is like the most expensive thing out of all those jeans, right? Jeans. I mean, they're probably what, like 60 bucks a pair. So, 10 of those things is like 600 bucks. The tracker is a few thousand. Okay. which makes it kind of a bigger deal. Um, we're trying to get that back primarily, but also identify you as somebody you've shoplifted, figure out, you know, you and Poetic. Um, can you pull your car up? >> As they recover the stolen items, he shares his worries about how this could impact his future, telling officers he can't afford another misstep. >> Uh, right now, like I said, as part of the investigation, we're just figuring out. Okay. Um, I like I said, not really trying to do anything too much for people with your shoplifterss. You've been cool with me. You've been straight up and everything. >> School I'm not school to be an iron worker and I don't want to mess that up. >> I mean, you you straight up stole, you know, maybe a few thousand on camera, too. So, >> no, it's not right. Around the wrong people just to get money. >> If we get you a consent search form, will you fill that out and sign it saying that, hey, we can we can search your car and get the evidence back, get the pants back? Yeah. Do you have one of those forms? >> Can I be ready to grab them and then you guys >> cuz the worst I mean best case scenario is hey you just pull those jeans out you say here you go man my bad I'm sorry. Worst case scenario is you go ah and you pull out some sort of gat and then then it's a then it's a firefight right and I I I know that that's not how you are and that's not the vibe you're giving me but I have to plan for worst case scenario right so we're just going to sit until we get the official form out. you sign it saying, "Hey, I'm giving consent to to search this car, to go through it and recover this merchandise and whatnot, and then we figure stuff out from there." Based on the tracker's location, it looks like you guys was running around just causing problems, too. You guys do anything else illegal? And that's why cuz that tracker shows every single place that you guys went to. It shows all the different areas, shows how many times you bounced back to this area and everything. So my question to you is now an opportunity for you to be real and not shady about it. When these other people call out and say, "Hey, Silver BMW at this location and we got trackers that says you was there." We going to see anything else from a >> Oh, I had to do anything while you was out. Did you run around steal anything else? >> No. >> Okay. Okay. There any weapons in the car? >> No. >> No. No. >> Other car? >> No. All right. You going to school to be what? Metal worker. >> Iron iron worker. >> Iron worker. >> So I can't mess it up. I can't miss another 100 day. >> Will they show leniency or is he facing the full weight of his actions? Let's find out. >> Press charges. I'm going to jail today. >> Not necessarily. Like I said, it's a delayed report, so it's not like we just caught you running from the place, right? Get it. >> All right. So, here's where we're at so far. Lamar, >> Corporal Mariani. >> Uh, Lamar's detained. >> Um, so the tracker showed to this car. This match subsequent in the back. >> Um, Lamar here has told me post Miranda that he was part of the shoplift yesterday. He doesn't want to get in more trouble. He's got school trying to be an iron worker and everything, but he was with a friend. Uh, he grabbed a stack of denim jeans, took it, drove off. Um, he's willing to give us consent to search. So, we fill that consent to search his vehicle so we can get the the jeans back >> and get everything. Right now, I'm having her get me uh the Old Navy, the original victim's number, so I can call them, find out what they want, >> okay, >> from all of this. >> Okay. >> Um and that's where we go from there. >> Okay. All right. You guys want to prosecute? Um my question to you is what what was the amount the dollar amount lost with the jeans? And then 350. Okay. And is that >> 800? Is that counting the tracker? Yes or no? So 1350, 500 for the tracker, 850 for the jeans. Okay. Do you guys have any video surveillance of that? Perfect. Um, do you guys have it available like to send to an officer? Uh, Old Navy says they want to prosecute dollar amount, I think, is 1350 total. >> Okay. >> So, we will recover the jeans right now, which is fine because the dollar amount because of the delay and everything. Um, I'm not going to arrest you right now. This car is going to be listed as involved in shoplift, involved in a theft, involved in. It's going to have a criminal activity tag tied to it. Okay. Anytime someone runs a license plate or runs this on there, it's going to be associated. >> Yeah. >> Hey, machete. Do you want to just hang out by those? I'm going to have them chirp it again just to make sure we got it. >> Inside the BMW, officers locate the stolen jeans and confirm the tracker is still active. >> That's real real quiet. [Music] You know what this is? >> Like that, right? >> Don't Don't react. >> Oh, nice. >> Sweet. >> Never seen that before either. That's pretty sweet. >> All right, man. So, here's the next step. Next step is we'll get you a record statement from you. I'll write you a citation for it for theft. You show up in court later for it. Talk to the judge. Take care of it however you need to take care of it. Okay? As right now, like you said, everything else has been has been chill. Even though it's a lot and it's taking a while, you've been super chill with us. I'm not trying to jam you up. Okay? >> Given his cooperation and the fact that it's a delayed report rather than an in progress capture, he's issued a citation for theft and released with instructions to appear in court.
