Surviving in this economy can be tough, but these folks had the wrong idea of hustling. Watch these [music] moments when shoplifters think they can steal until cops arrive. Teenagers try the shoplifting trend. Police showed up. On February 21st, 2025, officers responded to a local Target after staff reported two teenagers openly shoplifting inside the store. Here's what happened when officers arrived. All right, both of y'all are detained right now. You're not free to leave. Right over there. What's your name? Because you're under you're being stopped for shoplifting. Tell me your name. All right, let me see that purse. Well, we're taking it. All right.

PUT YOUR HANDS PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK. SISTER, come back here. No, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST. STOP. >> [laughter] >> I'LL GET YOU UP NOW. NOW, SIT DOWN. NO, you're going to jail. Now, YOU'RE GETTING A FELONY. FELONY OBSTRUCTION, YOU OFFERED VIOLENCE TOWARDS DESPITE CLEAR EVIDENCE RIGHT IN front of them, one of the suspects decides [music] to take things a step further. That's a looks like you went to another Target earlier. Sit down. SIT DOWN. NO, YOU'RE GOING TO SIT DOWN. YOU ARE UNDER ARREST. You cannot KEEP GETTING UP. YEAH, YOU NEED TO CALL SOMEBODY TO COME GET THE BABY. HEY, did she Hey, did she participate today? >> [crying] >> DID THEY BOTH PARTICIPATE? All right, somebody needs to come. Somebody needs to come get the baby. Did you want Are you assisting? This is 9:32 in the morning. So, she was here at 9:32 You don't control the situation. No, no, you shut YOUR ASS UP. YOU You're putting YOUR FINGER IN MY FACE. WHAT DID you upset your kid IN FRONT OF? YOU ARE UNDER ARREST. YOU'RE NOT CALLING >> [laughter] [crying] >> I'M PROBABLY GOING TO NEED HELP GETTING HER CAR. SHE'S GOING TO FIGHT AGAIN. >> [crying] [crying] [crying] >> Even as her child shows signs of distress, the suspect's behavior only becomes more difficult to watch. >> [crying] >> The subtotal is 199.99. Have you done a shop No, this will be evidence. And he'll send me the video later cuz I have a direct link. Have you ever done a shoplifting before? Okay, so the total amount is going to be 199.99. You don't You don't add the tax in. I'm running their criminal history. I don't think they've probably ever been arrested for shoplifting. They said they haven't. If there's no other shoplifting on there, it'll be misdemeanor shoplifting for both. And then she's got obstruction. I think he said felony. Listen, you got to chill out. This is my child. I mean, she's certainly got obstruction. But, hang on. Hang on. Let me Let me talk for a second. Let me talk for a second, okay? Calm down, miss, please. I'm trying to give you the option here of between a year in prison or not a year in prison. All right, so if you chill out and you stay calm with us, then I'll just call it misdemeanor since you're so small. It's not like you're really going to hurt me. I think misdemeanor's probably a little better. Yeah. So, you'll be charged with misdemeanor obstruction and shoplifting. You'll just be charged with shoplifting. As long as you stay chill. But, I wasn't trying to >> And you were trying to grab your purse from me. All right, argue it argue it one more time and it's felony. When the police are here and you're stopped, we can take your purse and you can't grab it from us. I'm sure you don't. I don't like when you steal. Look, when you're stopped by the police committing a crime, You lose control of the situation when you get caught committing a crime. It didn't have to go like that. It could have just been a simple shoplifting, but you started trying to grab something from us. Well, there could have been a gun in there. I'm not going to I didn't say you would, but we don't know that. We don't know that. The officers explain the situation clearly, but one of the suspects keeps responding in a way that doesn't help their case. We're not here cuz we want to be. We're not here cuz we want to be. We're here cuz of what you guys did. It's not like I was like, "Let me go get miss whatever your name is and let me go mess around with her at Target." All right? We're here cuz you. Not me. I was totally going to go eat some food right now. You guys do with the merchandise Y'all just sell it? Or is it personal use? Oh, don't even do that. Don't even play a race card when you're literally stealing out of Target. Unreal. No responsibility whatsoever. Okay, it is felony, I guess, then. That's just what we asked everybody cuz you're playing a race card. Okay. Okay, so what do y'all do with the merchandise once you take Just for use? Have you ever been to Tennessee? It's a theft by deception charge from Barry County in Tennessee. I don't know. It's theft by deception and what that means is like you stole by trickeration. I I don't know. Have you been to Barry County, Tennessee, outside of Nashville? Well, it's your date your name and your date of birth. We'll We'll get to the bottom of that, but it's a How old are you? Yeah, it says 32705. It says felony theft by deception warrant for you. Well, I Look, I'm not going to say it's never happened. Somebody could have gave your name. Have you ever even been to Tennessee? While you were up there, did you do something like stay at a hotel and didn't pay or something weird like that? Was it in your name or something? Listen, I don't know what happened cuz it's up there. As the officers dig deeper, they find something unexpected [music] connected to the other suspect. They took a warrant on you. You're going to have to get to the bottom of it. Somebody Somebody took a theft by deception warrant against you. So, listen, you'll have your chance to take care of that, but we have nothing to do with that. When we just checked your name, it came up. It just said one theft Now, it sounds like they want you, so it looks like you'll go to our jail and they'll come get you. Well, unless some And listen, unless somebody may be able to call up there and figure it out. But he's got Carlos, this is my lieutenant. He'll probably need to see the video. And I'll get you this video and I'll save it. This one. This was a use of force. She She was in here, too, though. So, let me tell you what's going on. So, they were shoplifting and they're putting makeup in a purse, so she's going to jail here for misdemeanor shoplifting. Do you get What the you stealing? What are you doing at Target? We supposed to be boycotting Target. Why are you here? Why are you here? I ain't talk I'm talking about today. I said today. Why are you in here stealing? Hello. Makeup? Socks and razors. >> [snorts] >> You don't have You can't afford that? I can't. So, what what No, I don't know. What did they have, sir? Just these this makeup, socks, and razors. And I think this little perfume stuff. So, it's like maybe $260 worth of stuff. They were like working together, handing to each other or something. They both go for shoplifting, but You thought you were going to get away with this entire thing? It's a misdemeanor shoplifting here, but like I said, it sounds like the stuff she's got up there is a little more serious cuz it's a felony. The suspect's parents arrive, and [music] fortunately for the officers, they take a firm, reasonable stance on the situation. It does say full extradition, so that that means If it says full extradition, usually that means If you get arrested in California, they'll come get you. A lot of places it ain't like that, so I'm going to need you to be honest about these things. She's been She's been acting like she has no clue. She really is. I didn't know I had to say my name. It could have been something the person she was with did it and they charged them both. I was asking if she stayed at a hotel and maybe like they stayed in the hotel under a false name. But she said it wasn't under her name. Maybe It It could have been something as stupid as the girl who you were with, maybe she gave a fake name and paid with a stolen credit card. I don't know. It could be something like that. >> know why she would do anything. How long did y'all stay there? Like two or three days. That's in September. I really I tried to call and just see what the warrant said cuz she She's been acting the whole time. She really has been acting like she doesn't know what it's about, so But like I said, I would just Google Berrien County, Tennessee, maybe call them and what once they confirm the hold, maybe they'll tell you a little more. Um cuz But yeah, they're not going to come pick her up. They could come this weekend, but I doubt it. See that thing? I didn't see that thing worn on her. I didn't see it worn for her for that plate, so it may be something like Are you sure she didn't get the hotel under your name and didn't pay? I don't know. I wish I could help you. I I tried. I called them, but Don't Don't Let's not sweat it. We'll get She needs to hang with. I TOLD I DON'T NEED YOU CRYING. Ain't no need you crying. You said what number was? Listen. Ain't nothing I can do, Tamara. You know better. I mean, I can try. But there I can't get you out. You got caught here doing some stupid So, you got to deal with it. You know better. For one of the suspects, the situation became a tough lesson in how quickly things can spiral when you're around the wrong crowd. Both are charged with retail theft, but the louder suspect faces added charges for battery on law enforcement and [music] resisting arrest with violence. Caught in 4K, now he's crying. On October 27th, 2024, [music] officers responded to a local Dollar Tree after staff reported a suspicious male customer acting in a concerning manner. Here's what happened when officers arrived. What do you say? He says he's dealt with him before in an old job that he had, not at this store. Okay. I think he's probably hiding something in his jacket. Okay, did you see him put anything in the jacket? Um it looked like But I can't 100% be sure cuz I can't just walk up to him and search him.

Um we have reason to believe that you may be shoplifting as per one of the employees here. All right. At any point in time did you stuff something into your jacket? Uh Yeah, yeah, I have a Gatorade. As the officers meet with [music] staff, they learn more about the suspect's past, including prior interactions involving law enforcement. Yeah, so you did stuff But But it was mine.

Do you want to give me some of those those items still? That's all for this Thank you, officer. Put all all the other stuff in here.

Get up. Get up. We're not playing this game. Put him in the car. Put him in the car. >> [snorts] >> No. Huh? All right. Have a seat, man. Come on. With the situation starting to go his way, the suspect takes his emotions [music] to the next level. Do whatever I can to accommodate you, make this experience as less painful than it can be, but you have to understand you made a bad choice and these are the consequences of that choice. It's that simple, boss. A dollar, 100 dollars, it doesn't matter. You made a choice. Now, stand by it, bro. I didn't make a choice because I didn't come out of this store.

I wasn't trying I looked at the colors and I like burgundy So, I don't know what that does to their inventory. So, if he rings up a black one it might reduce their inventory by one. Okay. >> So, you taking that one and and the tags not being with it anymore now it is causing a problem with their inventory. So, he's going to see what he can do to try to fix that. If not then he's not going to So, you went back to look at When did you go back to look for the tags? Just now she let me go. Oh. Just now and I left my bag here.
