Caught mid theft, these suspects fumbled their way through some of the worst excuses ever heard. Here are five cases of the worst shoplifters ever captured on police body cam. Number five, shoplifter plays dumb after getting caught, but the cops knew better. Coming up on June 5th, 2024, officers responded to a call from a local Target after a woman was caught trying to leave the store with a concealed JBL speaker. The authorities arrived quickly and headed straight for the suspect waiting in the back. Here's what she has to say. >> How you do you have it on camera over here? Yeah. Is it pulled up? >> Oh, yeah. >> All right. Real quick before I talk to you, I just got to read you some things. >> Okay. >> Then you're just going to give me a verbal yes or no whether or not you understand. >> So, you have the right to remain silent. Do you understand? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, what's going on? Why are the You know, just what's going on? >> I was I wasn't I was trying to move my car to get my cash out of my car. I wasn't trying to take it, >> but I It just kind of It went over my head. It wasn't. It was not intentional, which I know sounds really stupid. >> Okay. What What exactly did you walk walk out with? >> It was a speaker. >> And you walked all the way out? >> No, I just got to the door and then I was and then he saw me. >> And you said you intended on getting cash for it? >> Yeah. I was going to go to my car that I had my cash in my car. So, I was going to go check make sure cuz I I brought him in my car right now. So, I was going to go to my car to get my cash and then I completely forgot that I was pushing the card. So, which I understand I understand that's how it >> I mean it doesn't sound either way to me I'm just trying to figure out exactly why we're here and what's going on you know >> okay I want to talk to him and [Music] see what uh camera shows >> she claims the speaker simply slipped her mind but the footage shows her deliberately placing it in the cart and despite its size She continues to say she forgot it was there. With that, the officers ask her to write an official statement. >> So, I don't know when she came to the store, but I basically started watching her right here. >> So, she grabs it. >> Big speaker, huh? >> Yeah. 400 bucks. >> So, just fast forward. >> She kind of does like a few laps around. [Music] She was like right here electronics. Now she's here kind of just locked around the store. >> Okay. >> But yeah, I know these fade after a time. So is that fine? >> What's that? >> Is this one fine? They're like slightly different in terms of the layout, but same same concept. >> They still have the same the price and stuff, right? >> Yep. >> Okay, that's fine. >> Everything. We just can't copy that. He doesn't copy her in here. >> Here you go. Do you want to write a statement willingly stating what you just told my partner on camera? >> Um, >> it's just your side of the story. >> It's not if I want to. It's if you want to. >> It's your It's your >> show. basically you tell me your side of the story and what happened. That way I can have it to document. >> He has it. >> Yeah. Don't worry about the top. >> And then what happened? >> All right. So since here you said that you were going to get cash. Um, >> I was going to my car to make sure that I had my cash in there. I'm not a thousand% sure, but I was going there. >> She says she didn't use her card because she wanted to get cash from her car. Cash, she openly admits might not even be there. That claim alone raises eyebrows, and the more questions the officer asks, the more tangled her answers become. >> So, you were going to bring it with you? You were but you were gonna bring the speaker with you just to see. >> No, because No, I that's if you could stay on there or whatever. I forgot I had the carpet. >> So, I was just trying to >> Okay. Now, how do you how do you get paid? >> Um, I came >> like what do you what do you do for work? >> I Instacart. >> Instacart? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. And so, you're not sure whether or not you had that money? You don't have money in a bank account? Why do you have cash? Um because I don't I have stuff coming out of my bank and I don't like to use my bank account like that. >> So I get money and I take it out of the bank. >> Okay. And again, you said you weren't sure whether or not you had that money in uh in your car. >> I I thought I thought I do, but I I was going to just to grab it and just say >> Okay. Do you have any bank statements or anything that even shows that you would have that money in your account? >> No, because I came back here with it. >> When's the last time you worked for Instacart? >> Um, I didn't order today. I made $9. >> $9? >> Correct. >> And I was going to continue doing it. And I also do Uber Eats, which I love. >> Okay. It's just just because, you know, as I'm piecing this together, what I'm getting at is that I'm not seeing that you had the intentions to pay for it. I mean, the the fact of the matter is you committed the crime. So, I was just trying to get some more information on how you could, you know, if you even had the money. You even say yourself that you were not, you're not sure if you had the money in your car. >> Not in my car. I was going to see to make sure before I obviously purchased it. >> Okay. >> And um you don't have that money in your account as of now either, do you? >> No, I do not. >> Okay. >> She thought talking would help her case, but in the end it only confirmed what officers already suspected. And now they're ready to act. >> All right. Okay. >> Yeah. >> All right. Do you have uh anything in your pockets? Can you stand up for me? >> Just face away. Face away. Go ahead. Put your hands behind your back. >> You think I could call my mom before we do this? >> No, >> I think it's um >> I can get I mean I can get the money to pay for it right now. >> Well, the thing is, like I said, you already committed the crime. in your pockets.

I saw you just put your phone in there. >> My phone. I have my vape, my keys, my wallet. >> Okay. They're not going to let you keep the vape. >> Stand stand right here. Just so it just goes over everything. Tell me like stand over here. You stand over there. So grab everything. >> Yeah. And just I give you consent. Just pull him off. >> There you go. Perfect, bro. Well, when you just walk around real quick, you just >> I'm going to show you the form. Let me just make sure you're hold >> this way.

This time to shoplift for the second time that day. According to the staff, the woman had already managed to leave the store with unpaid items just hours earlier. But instead of staying away, she came back acting as if nothing had happened. What she didn't realize was that the store's loss prevention team had already recognized her and quietly called the police.

So I got clear footage of them concealing it. She placed an item inside her jacket and then she put it inside her bag and took out the item in her jacket. They walked out. That's when I called you guys. Okay. >> And I followed them down there and I guess they saw me following them. So we turned back and he came this way. >> Okay. Um, we're going to walk over to your office and just look through the the stuff. Okay. >> They usually park in the back by name and mark. >> They do. >> Yeah. Because she asked me where the exit was. The one with the cap and they go they you know they work in a team and the escape vehicles got to be in the back. >> Oh, so they have a vehicle in the back. >> No, no doubt.

Um >> officers head inside to review the surveillance footage and what they see leaves little room for doubt. The women are clearly working together. concealing merchandise and making their way toward the exit. Now it's time to confront them and see who's ready to own up. Um, >> how do you pronounce your first name again? >> Okay, so again, my name is Officer Tim. All right, with the phone police department again, you're detained right now. All right, for my investigation. Okay, so I'm going to afford you the opportunity right now. >> I can hear you. >> And I'm going to afford you the opportunity right now to be honest with me and tell me what's going on today.

It's seeing if you're going to be willing to work with me and talk to me and tell me what happened. >> But you mean you I'm already like in this predicament. >> Okay, so here's the thing again. If you don't want to talk and you want to tell them what happened, that's fine, right? You're saying, "Hey, he told you that he saw you take something and you're not admitting to it right now. Um, you're still detained. If you're not asking if you're not going to answer any more of my questions, that's fine. Um, just just hang tight." Right. >> So, you didn't you didn't purchase anything at the store? >> No. >> Okay. >> So, why are they saying that you took stuff from the store? >> Why are you Why are they saying that you took stuff from the store?

So, would it make any sense that they're watching you while you're putting stuff into your bag? >> Would it make any sense? >> You're saying you didn't think anything, but they're they're watching you on the camera while you're sticking stuff in your bag.

Yes. >> Was it from here? Can you cut? Was it from here or not? Cuz I'm starting to lose my patience. >> I was Yes. >> Yes, it was. Okay. Let's go get it. >> So, is this the one that you took from there? >> I find it. Yeah. >> Okay. All right. Just bring it back in with you. She says she don't want that. So, it's their call. >> Well, unfortunately, it's it's their call. So, >> apparently you all already had a >> y'all don't like each other. So, >> I've never been I like I'm not even from the area. I did a stupid thing, but I'm not >> I get it, but it's their call. We don't have a choice in it. She's under the impression that the amount stolen somehow lessens the crime. But the law doesn't see it that way. And neither do the officers on scene. >> As much as you don't want to deal with it, we don't want to deal with it either. It's Sunday. >> If I didn't want to deal with it, I should have done. >> Yeah. Go ahead. >> How many people do they need? >> Is there going to be a transport or no? >> You're going to arrest me? >> Uh, possibly. >> What? >> That's what happens when a crime is committed. Like, are you do you not know? [Music] >> No, you can. This is under $100. I had a really stupid I won't come back to your store. Please. This is within your ability. It's under. >> He got his notary stuff. Do you want transport or you want it to? >> Can I just pay for this? I won't come back. >> I'll do the booking sheet and I'll do the photos >> and send it in to him. >> All right, ma'am. It's not happening. Set that down, please. And we got to take care of some other stuff. >> We don't have all day to deal with this. >> Um, can you stand over here for me? Ma'am. Ma'am, can you stand here for me? And just look straight ahead, please. Uh, you got to remove your glass off top of your head. >> Good grief. >> Great idea. >> Okay. And then can you turn and face that way? >> And then the other side, please. >> Okay. You can go ahead and have a seat. >> No, you're being trespassed. You can't come back to if you come back. What what happens is they have cameras. So whether they stop you at that time or if they are able to provide proof to us that you were here after being trespassed, then it's it's it's grounds for another arrest. >> Okay. >> I didn't pull the tag off of that. >> She's not being arrested and instead is just being released with an NTA. That's not a courtesy everyone gets. But instead of being relieved, she continues to act like the store should have just looked the other way. I will surround for another one. >> So, what's going to happen is this. Um, you're going to be spared the embarrassment of having to be taken out of here in handcuffs. So, you're going to be given an NTA. All right. It's a notice to appear >> and that's >> you're going to press charges on top of the trespassing. >> Absolutely. Like I said, this could be much worse than we can call for transportation van and we can lock you out of here in handcuffs and then you have to go. Listen to me. Stop. >> Stop. >> All right. I'm sorry. I'm doing you the favor of not having to take you all the way to the police department. >> All right. >> So, what's going to happen is you're going to be given paperwork. It's going to have your court date on there. You have to go to court that date. >> All right. >> Yeah. >> If you don't go to court that day, then there's going to be another warrant put out for your arrest. >> All right. >> That's it. >> It's completely up to them. They're pursuing charges. Said and done. Nothing's going to change it. All right. >> It is up to them. >> Exactly. How much was the total? Can I pay for it? >> No. >> Can I know what the total was? >> As soon as we find out how much this blanket is. All right, let's go outside. We got to give you one uh piece of uh paperwork that's going to have your court date on it and then you guys got to leave. Okay. >> Where you at? >> I'm right behind >> right here. Just let's walk over here, guys. And uh it ended up, dude, it ended up being a felony, but of course it didn't get approved. It just it's a mess. >> Stand under here so you don't get wet. >> With a warning issued, the officer calmly informs her that she's officially trespassed and outlines what she can expect moving forward. So, essentially, I mean, um I think it's pretty self-explanatory. Just make sure you guys don't come back here. Um and then I'm going to give you the paperwork. It's going to have your court date on it. Uh it's going to be the 22nd of May at 9:00 at the at the uh DuPage County Courthouse. If you um you know, like you said, mentioned something earlier about possibly paying a fine or something along those lines. I don't know how that works. She'd have to talk to somebody at the courthouse first >> to see uh see if they if they if they'd allow that. Um have you ever been arrested before for this? >> Okay. >> I don't even have a >> All right. Well, I mean, if that's the case, they may be able to work something out. Um you may just have to pay a fine. Um or I know that they can arrange something like that once you go to court. So, if you're like a first- time offender and you don't want it on your record, um they do arrange for >> of the what? >> Yeah, we we've got a copy of it. >> So, um yeah, that's pretty much it. It was either that or a lot of times typically in these situations we uh we go ahead and just um you know we'd have to call a trans transportation ban out here. You'd get arrested um well you are arrested technically but we'd put handcuffs on you. You'd have to walk out of the store like that search you. You'd have to go to the police department and all that nonsense. So um just take it as a lesson learned. Yeah. [Applause] >> Well, I mean, it's not like you shot somebody, but I would hope that you learn from it. So, >> the suspect didn't leave in handcuffs, but she did leave with a citation for misdemeanor shoplifting and a court date to answer for. Think they'll be making better choices next time? Let me know in the comments and I'll see you in the next
