Every company has cameras for a reason, but some employees still think they're invisible. Here are five cases when dumb employees think they could steal without getting caught. Number five, employees $300 scam at Taco Bell ends exactly how you'd expect. A Taco Bell manager calls police after internal systems flagged suspicious voids and deletions from the cash register. Here's what happens next. So, I've gotten an employee. She took $250 $250 from us. We've got video of her taking cash. She would take customer orders, zero it to zero, give the customer the food, take the money in, put it in the register, and then at the end of the day she'd go and they break down the register. Whatever was left over she would put in her pocket. So, in the exception the exception reporting system that we have, it would find unusual behaviors, which is things like that. So, that's what alerted us to something unusual going on. And then when I matched the the tickets to the video, that's when we saw customer would pay for an order, get the food, she'd take the money, and ultimately zero out the order and keep the money. So, match events to tickets. Yes. Sir, just in your words tell me what led you to call me here today. So, we have an exception based reporting system that alerted us to voids and deletes that were being done in our computer system. After reviewing employee customer tickets and video, it allowed me to identify the employee who was zeroing out the tickets, taking the money, and pocketing it. Okay. To brought me here today to interview her. Okay. And what happened when you got here today? Today I talked to her. She admitted to $200 to $250 of fraudulent voids that she would zero out the the ticket number, put the money in the cash register till, take it to the manager's office, at which point she would take it out and put it in her pocket and keep it for her personal needs. Was this the same employee the every time on the video? The officer digs deeper with a manager, piecing together how the theft happened. Okay. And do you know who that employee is? Shamika. Okay. And how how long has she been working here? I think about 3 years. 2 and 1/2 to 3 years. Okay. All right. Do you have any knowledge of her doing this prior to these five or six incidents? I have documentation over the last four to six weeks I believe it is. So, you guys are going to check further back to see Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay, cool. All right. I'll go in there and talk to her. Are they uh Is there anything else that I haven't talked about or asked you that you want to add? Nope. Then it's the employee's turn. She's asked to explain what really went down. Okay. All right. So, in your own words, do you do you know why I'm here today? Yes, I know why I'm here today. Okay. Can I see that you wrote a letter? Is this the letter you wrote? Yes, that's it. Show me And So, do you have your ID on you? All right. Okay. Do you have a Florida ID? Yes. Okay. Let me see. What's that? My ID ID in the car. All right. Let's go meet her. All right. You know, so in your words tell me how you came to talk to Mr. Gong today. So, I got to repeat all that? Well, I haven't read that. I just know it's the letter you wrote. I'm here. I asked him and I spoke to him and I'm just speaking to you. Okay. So, is is uh thief. I've been taking cash. Pretty much. Bottom line. Taking cash from >> more than what I'm admitting to, but I'm not sure. Okay. Taking cash from where? The register. So, how you you just So, how you you just take it out? I mean, you don't think that they're going to notice it's missing? I'm just curious. I'm just asking. Dude, that's a good question and I want to thank you. Like Tell me I mean, how did you take that? You just take it out? Is it I mean No, I'll put the money in the register. Once I count the register down, I keep what what what's left over. And what's left over? >> ticket say supposed to be $450 and it's $475, I'll put the 450 in the Balance I don't okay. Well, I don't see it I don't see how there would be a difference though. When asked about the scam, she admits to it and describes exactly how she pulled it off. Because like when if I come in you say your your bill is 220 and I give you 220. I mean, at the end of the day the machine is going to show 220. So, how how how does it get a difference? >> Like I'm not He doesn't understand how you would zero an order out. So, just explain how you would >> much deleting the stuff off the screen and putting it in the register. Once being a shift >> Oh, you mean like voiding it out? Like if I come Okay. I get I get it now. So, how many times did you do this? Like maybe four or five times. Five times in a period of how long? Like three, four months, five months. In a five-month period? Do you know about how much total you did? I He said more than two 250. I believe it's just like 2250. All right. You said that there's a way to do that uh I just give you my email with the documentations So, how much do you guys have so far? Uh probably close to the 400. Okay. So, you wrote this letter saying that you took you said 250? When the officer asks why she did it, here's what she says. Uh-huh. Okay. All right. So, you admit to taking the money. You just you guys just disagree on the amount. All right. Is there anything else you want to add to your statement? Or is there a reason you took it? Well, I mean, I'm just curious. Bills, car, gas, groceries. Do you Do y'all have a program or something to help out your employees and So, how can you >> I was never told that. It's a lot of stuff I'm still learning right now. I've been here almost 3 years. All right. All right. I'm going to tell you what this is. This is what you're being charged with right here. You're being charged with petty theft. All right. All right. So, all you going to do is you going to swear in the test is on is on being documented on our camera that you're you're promising to show up to court. It's not saying that you're guilty. It's saying that I'm going to come to court. Now, what are we going to do? Pull your mask down. Make sure I get your face on camera so you can't say it was your sister that was there. All right. Take care. Happy holidays. Try to have a better day. Thank you. Happy new years. Thank you. New year, new blessing. No more All right. In the end, she faced petty theft charges and the end of her time at Taco Bell. Number four, Taco Bell employee's secret scheme finally exposed. Up next is yet another Taco Bell worker caught dipping into the register. Let's take a look at what happens next. Okay. Has she already been talked to about this incident? >> Mhm. And what did she have to say? She basically had to write a statement saying that she did steal the funds. So, I talked to him afterwards and he wanted me to call the press charges. She stole like $400. Worth [snorts] of cash. And how long was this over? Over a month. Looks like she started on June 5th. Um and then I actually went to the cameras and looked and she's been doing it for almost a month. Okay. Yeah. And she's cooperative? Yeah. Not initially. She was, you know, denying of course, but eventually towards the end she was like, "Yeah, I did do it. I made a mistake." That kind of deal. Okay. And she filled out a statement? Mhm. Okay. And are y'all wanting to press charges? Yes, yeah. Okay. I'm going to try and talk to her. Mhm. See if she's willing to talk to me. Do you have positive identification on her? Like is she You like you verified all of her information and who she is? Oh yeah yeah no she works here. Yeah yeah she's been working here for 2 months. She's worked for me at the other store as well. So I know who she is. Yeah. Okay okay. Actually my partner's here so let's just hang on a second and I'll get the stuff from him. Where is Anna now? She's in the lobby still. In the lobby? Yeah. Okay do we have an office that we can borrow? Uh office is kind of small. Yeah I can uh it's right it's in the kitchen back there so it's not like it's not private. Yeah. Oh she's got a lot. She's over there. She's outside. When the officer asks what really happened, Anna doesn't deny it. She admits to taking the cash. Hello there. Deputy Winston Sheriff's Office. Are you Anna? Yes. Do you have your driver's license on you? Uh yes. My name's Anna. Well I was hoping you'd tell us what happened. I took some money. But I'm paying it back. You're paying it back? Yeah. Do you have your driver's license on you? Um So this is going to be your willingness to prosecute. So since you're wanting to prosecute you're going to fill it out here, put her name, sign here, and then I'll know where to sign. >> call my husband? Can I call my husband? In a minute. Let me get your driver's license first. Do you have a photo driver's license or ID? It's my photo. No. It's your shirt. Have you ever had a Here's this back. Do you go by Anna? No Anna Marie. Anna Marie full name? Okay. So Anna Marie before we go any further, I do have to read you a little something. Can you put that down pay attention? >> Yeah. I need you to put that down and pay attention, ma'am. My name is Deputy Winbush number 875. This is due to everything that's going on. And these are your rights. Do you understand these rights? Everything you told Taco Bell true? All right. So how long's this been going on for? Just a a day or two. A day or two? [music] Any reason why? Bills. Hm? Bills. Bills to pay? Okay. I'm sorry to hear that. And you're going to seek some kind of restitution or talk about it eventually. Okay. So what's happening now is they're completing their end of the paperwork with us. Do you want to fill out a statement or anything or do you just want to run with what you have on what you wrote right now? Do you have a history of theft? No. Have you ever been to jail for theft before? When the officer asks about her past, she's open about it and doesn't try to hide anything. No. Have you ever been to jail at all? Yeah. DUI. DUI? Just that? And probation. And probation for for the DUI? How long ago was that? Almost a year. Almost a year? Are you still on probation? No. Okay. So you don't have any other criminal history. So again we're still waiting on all the paperwork to finish up and then we'll take care of things from there, right? Am I going to see the judge today? Um you might have a bond. So you'll you'll likely have a bond. So at this point you are being placed under arrest. Now we don't have to do this right here in the middle of the store or we can we can walk out to my vehicle and take care of it then. All right? So I'll get a bond as soon as I get to the jail? Yes. Because it's not a violent offense or anything. It's probably going to be a low dollar amount so with the bond and bondsman and all that it is I'm not at this point I wouldn't worry too much about it. If your husband can bond you out then by all means. It's not going to be an obscene number from what I understand anyways. It's just a misdemeanor, okay? Okay. Let him know to meet you at the jail. All right? It's going to take me a minute to do our paperwork when we get there but after that paperwork is done he should be able to bond you right out. Okay. Do you want my purse with me as well? Do you want your purse as well? Yeah. Okay. That being said, ma'am do you want your purse to follow you to the jail? Yes please. All right let's put your phone up and we'll have to take care of it. >> real quick? Please. Do you want to ask her to use the restroom? What? She's asking to pee. Can I keep it? >> your property here. I will. Anything else you guys need? Oh you're still filling that out. Yeah the paperwork. And then she sent you the link to send the video and all that stuff. Uh she told me I guess you guys need his email address. Somebody's email address. Who has the video footage of it? >> Yeah and he has the video footage. I'll give it to you before you leave. After confirming with management that they want to move forward with charges and trespasser, the officer makes the arrest. To keep things low-key, they complete the process outside. Go ahead and grab your purse. Go ahead and grab Do you have any weapons or anything on you? >> No. Okay. Your purse will be searched in detail once we get to my car. Want to go to this car over here? Just place all of your belongings on top of your truck. Got it. So my partner's going to go grab her gloves real quick. >> going to get out today? Likely yes. Because it this is it's just a misdemeanor. It's not like a domestic violence. It's not like DUI. DUI you have to stay overnight. Domestic violence is typically a higher bond have to see a judge overnight in the morning as well. This is a misdemeanor theft. It's not a big deal. It may appear to be a stressful situation but it's still $400 not a felony amount. So at least thank your stars it wasn't because then the bond amount would just be higher. All right go and turn around for me now. Place your hands behind your back. Go ahead and let go. Are any of these too tight? A little bit. Which one? Both. Both? Yeah. All right. Put your knuckles together. Like are you able to twist your arms around? Not really. Okay. Ow. It's just cuz he's locked them right now. He's locked them so they don't tighten up. Is this one a little bit better? Yeah. You try and slip out of them and get your hands out of them you will be charged an additional charge. Do you understand? >> not going anywhere. Just be truthful with me. The lighter cannot go with you to the jail so it it will be thrown out. >> Everything else? >> Can I keep the vape? N- no the vape can't go either. Is that the only thing in here? You understand that anything introduced into the jail will be a felony? Okay. And have a seat. Inside the patrol car, the officer explains what happens next and what she should expect in the next few hours. Your property will be in the trunk, okay? That's okay. What kind of bond am I going to have? I don't set the bond but if I recall correctly the misdemeanor bond is less than a thousand dollars if I recall correctly. And you're sure that they'll let me go home today? I am 90% positive. I don't make guarantees on what they'll do but again this isn't anything violent and it's not a felony. It's not as you don't have a a bond or a warrant or anything like those. It's just a misdemeanor offense. Okay. Can you turn my phone off? Um I can do that at the jail. Okay. Do you know how much power does it have left? Not much. Okay. If I knew I would have just charged it up here for you. You can do that if you can. It's a little bit late now is because once I enter this in we have to get going. It's tracking us like on the way there. So if the bail is like a thousand what's the what would I have to pay? You'll have to discuss that with the bondsman. Typically it's about 5%. So it's like a hundred bucks? Uh more like 50. Really? At 5%. I don't think it'll be that high though. How long have you been on the job? I've been on over six years. You like it? It's it's not a desk job I'll tell you that much. Okay. You really don't think I'm going to be here long, huh? I don't think you'll be here that long. This one, right? Yeah. All right. Thank you. That's nice of you. Uh take about an hour. The charge is about half full. Samsungs usually last forever, too. I know. Anna is ultimately charged with misdemeanor theft. Number three. Walmart employee caught lowering prices to steal merchandise. An 18-year-old Walmart employee is arrested after being caught stealing merchandise over multiple days by using her employee access to adjust prices. The thefts are discovered after Walmart's loss prevention team review surveillance footage showing her under-ringing items and using self-checkout in a deceptive way. These are all the different days she did it. She's just pet nickel and diming, you know what I'm saying? How did she go about it? Uh self-checkouts. She's under ringing. Okay, and she'll hold Do you want to see some of the video? Yeah. All right. She'll hold, you know, multiple items in her hands and only get one or two of them. Gotcha. They got her back in the spark room right now, which is in here. So She's back there now? Yeah. Okay. She's fine. So she's already been confronted about this? Yeah. What did she have to say about it? I have no idea. They got her in there now. They just wanted me to go ahead and get you guys up here. I think they're wanting to play with us. They should already know the clause. Well, they don't really go off the clock for their salary. All right. These are all the different days. Nickel and diming, you know what I'm saying? I think it is she wants to go in the military, but So she never scanned the other one, you know, what I'm saying? She put that one on top of it. They're all freaking going in the bag. So it's that same stuff. Like that one every stop. This receipt has every day on it? Every day. Oh, okay. That's Yeah. And what do you What we did is like these three things she stole. The staff hands over all the documentation to the police about the employee's thefts. You see what I'm saying? Okay. So then it's got a description up top of what it is, French style. And you'll see it on It's not up here right And then there's a total receipt which she's got in his hand for every one. And then How much is it and that's everything that she stole? >> That's everything she stole, yeah. 100. We don't do the tax, so 105. >> For all the different thefts and that's what it amounted to? Yep. That's what I said. She's just nickel and diming, you know, what I'm saying? Yeah. That's how it starts and then she was starting to override stuff, so So do you want me to go back there and see if they're ready for you guys? All right. All right. I'll go grab her. Kyle's here. Yeah. I'll let you know if they move. How did the city work then when they had multiple days? I don't know. I think it was just all on one. So one report? All the items on that? Yeah. The county has been We've always had to do it every single day. Okay. That's what I thought it was it was going to be every like she's going to get hit with every So like we would need a receipt for each incident and we would need the footage of each incident. Um Cuz essentially we have to charge her She'll get charged for each one of the thefts. So Unless the total was over $1,000 >> receipts for each incident. But I can't we won't do what? We have the receipt for each incident. Uh-huh. Um That equals out the total, but I can equal out the total in here if I need to. That's the full total? Yeah. This is just the receipt of what was missed. Right. Over at least eight separate incidents, she primarily targets small electronics. So if we could just get a total for each day. Yeah. Yeah. And you need a separate video for each one? Yep, cuz essentially you got to write There should be. How many days was it? I don't know. We have So 5 26 5 7 5 4 5 4 5 3 AP The officer The officer is on his way. Yeah, James is No, like he's here. I'll send them back. Okay. All right. Bye. All right. She's ready. So yeah, however many days it is is how many receipts you'd have to generate unless it's on the same day and she doesn't leave. All right. Yeah, and I can get you the receipts or the I know. the amounts as well. I'm trying to work out how many we take and how many times a different amount. Mhm. Since that's right, six or seven receipts. I don't mind doing it. We'll get on Bobby. We'll get on. Spent a lot of time here. And the video is some of the thefts. They paid me overtime for something. Yeah. Well That'd be the end of this then. Moments later, the officers confront the employee. Here is what happens when they begin questioning her. Do you have an ID with you, Hosanna? No, I have a state ID. You have a state ID? No. Yeah. Yeah. When did you start working at Walmart? A year ago. Okay. >> A year ago. 2019. Did you give them all the printouts every day? Yes. I recognize the last name. She admits to overriding prices saying she does it a little and doesn't think it's a big deal because she still pays something for the items. What can you tell us about what happened? I've done some price overrides. No, I've not done a lot, but I've done some. And I've done a few no scans also. Okay. So cuz I don't work for Walmart, can you just explain how you override the price? Um You scan your badge and then you hit There's like three like dots and then you like hit hit price override and then you hit the amount and then you hit one of the options. What items was it that you'd usually take? Um It's some albums, music albums. Music albums? Okay. Why those specifically? Cuz those ones Well, those ones cuz that's really the only thing in electronics. They're expensive. How many? Go ahead. 26, thank you. How many times do you think this happened? Less than three times. Less than six? So 14 times? This was something that you wrote today? Yeah. Okay. Why didn't you pay for the items? The only reason was I did pay for them. I just marked them down. Not a lot, but I did pay for them. I just marked them down a bit. And the reason I did that was because She refers to the theft as minor and claims she doesn't realize some items go unscanned, but officers point out that her actions are consistent and intentional across several days. Okay. What about the things that you just didn't scan at all? Cuz there's a few things that you just didn't scan. Yeah, I just I didn't realize. You didn't realize? Okay. Are you living at home with parents or you living on your own? Home. Okay. Yeah, it's only like exactly a year ago. But I do have relatives in my mom. What bills are you responsible for paying? I mean, I guess I'm just going to be paying the rent, so and I guess my phone bill kind of. I don't have my own plan or anything like that, but I do contribute Okay. Any reason that you started taking now? Financially, why you'd start taking now and I mean, you've been working here you said a year. Yes. I mean, what do you mean? What made you want to start stealing now instead of before? What's changed in your life? Nothing? You just didn't want to pay for them because they were pricier? Okay. Do you know how much you took, money-wise? Less than 300. Hm? Less than 300. Well, it is less than 300. Yeah, over it was $111. Yeah. Yeah. Um How many days, how many cases were there? Eight. Nine? I didn't keep track. Yeah. Okay. I didn't keep track of the days. And you said you're 18? Yes. Okay. So, what's going to happen now? Um With your age, you didn't have any criminal history. What we would normally do is we would issue you a court date. I can't issue you a court date because you did this over several times. So, you have to be charged for each one. So, you can't be issued a court date. Because the thefts occurred over multiple occasions, officers are unable to issue a simple citation. So, the only option is for you to go down to the jail. So, you're going to get booked into the jail tonight. Okay. And then you can bond out, but you're going to get charged separately for each day that this happened. Okay? You understand that part? Say that again. Do you understand? Yeah, but with the money-wise? You'll have a bond. So, if you want somebody to bond you out, I'll tell you the dollar amount that they'll have to pay, but that's going to happen after you're booked in at the jail. All right? All right. Can I call my parents? What's that? Can I call my parents? Can I call my parents about this? Yeah. We'll call them from the car. Just go ahead and stand up right now. Need you to set those down. Is this the place where you can find the items? Put them together like you're praying. It'll be more comfortable. Like you're praying. Palms together. There you go. A lot more comfortable that way. Are these items yours? Yes, all of them. Okay. Yeah, we have a bag. And that one's from electronics. Okay. They're driving with us. Were your parents out of town, too? Well, they sent me to admin something like that. I just got here. They just leave? Are they on vacation? Like 12:00, 11:00. They have a meeting. Got you. She's told she'll likely be eligible for bond and can resolve the charges through the court system. Despite her age and clean record, the ongoing nature of the theft means the situation requires formal booking. So, I just want to send it with the total Yeah, anything that Right. Okay, you can get out. He's obviously into the same thing over and Take all your stuff out at once so it doesn't get lost. He's driving away. Is somebody supposed to pick you up or do you want to Um somebody's supposed to pick me up. Somebody's supposed to pick you up. Okay. We're going to go ahead and walk out. So, we're just going out? What's that? Are we just going out to the car? Well, we're going out to the to the car. We're going to go out to take a ride down to the jail and get booked in. I'm parked in the front. After walking around in the store, officers conduct a search and get her ready for transport. Yes, we do. Do you have anything left in your pockets? No, my headphones. Which pocket is it in? This one over here. It's going to go in the bag. Can you bring that back out to me? Just take a seat. She's officially charged and kept in custody until her bond amount is determined. Every theft she committed is recorded as its own charge. Number two. A Walmart worker who pushed her luck too far. A Walmart employee is arrested for retail theft after multiple incidents are confirmed through security footage and transaction logs. Here's how it all went down. I'm a loss. I'm a loss for words right now. I got a body camera on. All right. You're being placed under arrest for retail theft. So, I need you to turn around and put your hands behind your back, but I would like you to take off your vest and your work phone first, okay? You need your purse now? Is your daily your emergency contact on your phone? Okay. Um can you give this to Can you just hold on to that for a second? I'm going to put it all together in your property. Okay. And you'll get it with you. You're going to be uh booked into the jail and you're going to be booked out, okay? Okay. All right. Oh my god. >> [snorts] >> We'll walk about here in a second, okay? 251 Cussy. All right. This is tends to turn and then be very uncomfortable. So, I'm going to lock this. Try not This is my partner. Try not to twist it to your best of your ability. You have very small wrists. Okay. All right. That's her stuff real quick. We're going to walk her out to the squad car. Um As far as Walmart, uh the vest, the work phone, and what else? The bag. It's all all there. All right, we're going to walk this young lady out real quick, okay? Okay. All right. All right, head to that first squad car, the black squad car. Take You want this wrapper? Uh no, I'm good. Before questioning the employee, the officer reads her Miranda rights. So, they don't know what they say out loud? Yeah, I'm going to I'm going to go over it with you. Just it took me a little bit to review everything before. It's like Okay, I'm going to read you your Miranda rights because you're already in custody right now. I I have to read you your Miranda rights. I You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have one present while you're being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before questions if you wish. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer my questions or make any statements. Do you understand those rights? Do you have any questions about those rights? Uh-uh. All right. Um So, what's our deal? Okay. So, on the 26th of or 26th or 24th, I I have a paper in there. Um they have you on camera stealing some like bed frame that you put in a cart, pushed it up to customer service. >> Stealing the day I got sent home? 3 hours late. Yeah, it was like you and your boyfriend were fighting. I didn't pay for that. No, but but hold on a second. Can I Can I cuz I had the Wait. Okay. So It continues because then there was a separate incident where there were some cat nail trim- trimmers. Uh those were uh cat nail trimmers and a couple other cat items that uh was like 40 bucks that you didn't see all the same or that you stole on the same day. They have all these on camera. And then there was a separate incident the separate >> for the I bought like a cat mat and all that? No, no, no. You walked out without paying for these. But it's Wait. It's the same day that the cat mat and all that? >> Yeah. And the bed frames, okay? I'm going to shut the door real quick. I'm going to go grab the paperwork and I'm going to literally tell you exactly what it is. >> Oh, so um if Okay. That was I I y'all can watch the cameras. Like I went through a lot that day. I like I got sent home. Am I able to pay for it cuz I did not mean to not pay for that. Like my intentions was to pay for that. >> Hold on. Uh She claims she had a stressful day and didn't mean to steal anything saying she intended to pay. But will the officer believe her story? While I don't disagree with you, you probably did go through a lot that day. Uh they're wanting to pursue criminal charges against you for the theft because you walked out without paying for it, okay? Uh if the courts would entertain that, that's potentially something you have to work with uh with McLean County. However, we're to the point we have to go to jail, okay, and get booked in for this. I'm going to go grab the paperwork real quick. I'm going to ask you to put that in there real quick, all right? I'll be right back. All right. Okay. So, Wendy. All right.
