Aggressive as the Roll it up. >> That attitude is not you're not going to get help. And that's all. >> Cook, I'm going to go check with them. >> With the suspects detained, officers head back inside the store to speak with employees about what happened. >> So, >> where's the items that she got off her? >> Right here. So, what happened was half of it is going to be on video of the selections and then we moved to floor surveillance cuz I was in the fitting room across from her waiting to post sweep it. >> How was she doing all this? >> She she concealed it in the fitting room. I post I pre-wep the fitting room before she went in while he maintained surveillance on cameras and then um she went into the fitting room that was pretty swept and she came out there was two tags on the floor and that's it and everything that she came out with. She came out with her scarf and she came out with this item. >> Was she putting it in her bag or >> she put it in her bag cuz her when her mom came she started throwing everything out and then some of the other stuff just came out of her purse. Are you able to pull up videos of the slapping portion or was that outside? >> No, that was outside. I can see if I can get it right here, >> but I didn't physically put her hand my hands on her. I did hold her back, which >> I grabbed her because once I go off the curb, she was literally like this on the curb. >> She was outside. >> She was outside. Once I go off the curb, I stopped her from going off the curb. >> Okay. >> And but she kept Look, my hand is red. She kept steady popping me and popping me and popping me. I mean, you can't be mad at me in the catch. Um, that ain't nothing to me. >> Did you Are you done tallying up the totals over there yet or? >> Not yet. >> Do you think it'll be over 300 or under? >> Um, it's a tell. I can do a little real quick. Yeah, just like let my partner know and >> I want to detective. >> With assistance from store employees, officers begin reviewing the surveillance footage. Who's just sitting outside? >> Huh? >> We just sitting outside. >> But they outside already. >> No, no, no, no. Um, we had stopped her. Um, we waited till she hit all sales of points before we apprehended her, which was right here. >> Okay. >> Well, we could have got her at this door, but we wanted to make sure that she won't turn around and pay for the items. So, I'm missing one tag in a big room, but so far it said 160 350. >> Okay. And I I think it's fair to assume that last item is probably not 140. >> No. >> Right. >> I mean, here we go. Right here. >> Do you guys have band paperwork you want to get for >> I want to give her a trespass. She came home for 3 years. >> And usually the mall too, don't you? >> Yeah, we usually get one. Um, we just we can just go based off what they give. >> Talking to me. There you go. >> What's up? >> Oh, ch. >> Okay. So, it's like right here is when she goes out. Yeah, cuz we was right on her heels. >> Is it out of camera view then? >> Yeah, that Yeah, >> cuz it's going to be right here. >> Okay. Yeah, the most the most we'll probably do on that front is we'll ride it up. Um, let's see what the state's attorney decides to do cuz it gets a little tricky uh if we don't have it on video. Right there. >> Where was you at? >> He was at He 605 when I was looking that up. I ain't going back to five. I bet you >> I said 51. Fast forward, man. It's going crazy. >> Though the footage is blurred by the police department, it still clearly shows the woman attempting to conceal merchandise valued at [music] around $350. >> She kind >> That's one of our items right there. That blue. >> Got to tell her, excuse me. >> Just out of view. >> Even that other camera don't show nothing. No, that'd be even lower, I think. Cut off at the same point. >> So, I don't know how you guys do it for uh retail thefts here. Would you be able to print out like a receipt with all the items on it? >> Yeah. Okay. >> I was just trying to get the computer to uh catch up with me. >> No problem. I'm going to go check on my partner out there. If you just want to if you could also see I don't know if we have video of her. I we like the first half of the case literally um when she before going into the fitt room cuz I made him come to the floor. >> You brought her purse back in here or how did >> she had her purse? >> How did you get the items back? >> She took it out for them. >> Was that outside or >> No, that was right here. >> And then she took a couple of items outside um out cuz her mom took it out. >> Okay. If you two just want to hang out here and obviously you're working on the receipt. Uh, I'll jot your info down >> and then let me check. >> Let me enter the stuff so I can print you up. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Officers now go over the remaining information with the employees involved. >> So, essentially, you guys were doing for surveillance and video surveillance on her and just stopped her when she left uh after seeing that she had her tags off in the fitting room. She uh no I the the fitting room was empty and I saw that it was one tag and one hanger and I conversed with him and said did you see what she came out with? He said it's everything that she came out with was wrapped underneath her um wrapped around her arm. She went in with nine items. One item around her arm is not nine items. So the other items had to go somewhere. So um >> and so every time she would go in with the items to the fitting room. She went in one time. >> We don't have floor video of her putting it into the bag or anything. >> No. >> But it was a clean fitting room when she went out and it was a clean fitting room when she came out with just one item over her >> to back here. I saw her pull all the clothes out. >> Yeah. She actually gave us all the items out of the bag, gave it to me and then I put it on the table over there. Perfect. >> One thing that we need, we do got the paperwork for her. We just need her name, address, and things like that. Even if we don't get the address, we just really need the name. >> My uh my partner's got that. So if you want to check with him, he can help you out. >> Yeah, I'mma need it from my final case cuz I'm um because we got to demand her to find her. >> So what you need from Ninja DNA? >> I need her pedigree, her information. >> All that information. >> Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And as far as >> I'm trying to hurry up >> as far as her slapping your arm and all that. We're going to write it up in the report if the state's attorney decides to press charges for that. >> The verbal threats that she just made. >> You said she'll come back and crash out. >> Yeah. She said >> that'll be documented at least. Um but as far as threats, it's got to be a little more specific than that. She said to him, "Don't beat my in front of everybody several times. All my child." >> The good news is she'll be banned from here. So, if she comes back, she goes to jail. It's no questions asked. So, >> after everything that happened, the staff member expresses concern for her safety, prompting the officer to advise her on how to move forward. >> So, if I see her at my other job, >> she's she's calmed down quite a bit. >> You could always try and get an order of protection on her, which would cover you at your other job. And obviously you'll have her info once uh security gets that for you. Uh I think you have more than enough to file for one. >> I deal with first. >> So also I was like okay. >> Yeah. Let me let me check on him. Um how far along are you on? >> The computer is slow. I'm trying to move as fast as I'll check back with you. >> Yeah. All right. I'm trying to fire this or did you want me to send it through the email? >> Email will be fine if that's quicker for you. >> Long as somebody sends me the link. I'm still waiting for a link for our last case that happened. >> Oh, I usually don't do links. I just have you send it to my email and then I'll upload it on my end cuz I don't even know how to work the link thing. >> I'll just email real quick here. Some pe some people do, but >> um >> security should be bringing her info back for you. Um and then we're going to go finish up with her out here. We're still sitting out front with her. >> Thank you. And I appreciate you. >> Yep. No problem. >> Step out. >> I'm going to take you out of handcuffs. Okay. And then I'll explain this entire thing to you. All right. >> Mom already gave you a lecture, so I'll spare lecture for you. >> Hopefully we never meet again, right? >> We won't. >> Okay. Do you have any questions at all for us? >> ID. She has her ID. >> Okay. Well, you're free to go now at this point. Okay. >> I appreciate it. >> Yep.
