Okay. >> Shoplifters often think they found the perfect moment to strike, but what they don't account for is just how much their every move is being recorded. These situations involve shoplifters who don't realize hidden cameras are watching them. Serial shoplifter starts crying after getting busted. On March 14th, 2025, officers responded to a Walmart after staff reported that a woman who had already stolen hundreds of dollars worth of items earlier that day had returned to the store.

Look at what I got on it. >> Have you already checked to see if she has anything in her purse? >> I used that SIM card and put it in my other A15 I had. So, I figured I could do that with the new A15, but it didn't work like that and I couldn't remember the PIN number I set up when I set up that phone. >> Okay. >> So, I was having trouble with the lady on the phone about it, so I came to Verizon.

Repeat offender runs out of chances. On April 3rd, 2025, officers were called to a Walmart after staff caught a woman bypassing items at the self-checkout. What the suspect didn't realize is that the loss prevention officers have been watching her every move. >> As officers arrive, the woman is already being held in the security room, and loss prevention seems fully prepared with the information they need. >> And I paused the transaction to give her a chance to, you know, stop doing that not not do that and, you know, scan everything. >> Yeah, but that didn't happen. Skipping was still going on and the bag was being placed on top of merchandise. >> Okay. >> Then me, him, uh we made the apprehension. And she was very cooperative. She came into the office. She gave us the ID. Didn't cause a scene. Didn't do anything. And with that These are the items that we made the training receipt on the first What What do you see in the cart? >> Uh the items not scanned. >> All the items skip scanned, not scanned. >> Okay. >> And following further communication with her she did have more merchandise on her on her person on her bag.

Yeah, um that one if you guys need to give me you can hold on to that one. I don't need that one. Just these two. >> If you want to see video, I got video. >> Yeah, um if you want to pull it up, I'll go ahead and send you this. You can still send me the order link and everything. >> Yeah, can you email me on email or fax it? All right, so that's her entering self-checkout. She enters self-checkout as register 39. Let's see what we found at the register. So, we're coming up there. She's scanning the chips. And then there was that. >> The woman is accused of scanning cheaper items in place of more expensive ones, but the tactic doesn't get past loss prevention. Watch as the officer breaks down her actions on camera piece by piece. >> All right, so she scanned the um So, she scanned the thing on the bottom and the Ruffles was the was what was not scanned? >> Um yes. >> Okay. >> She accidentally scanned the cheese thing twice. That thing twice. And the Ruffles were not scanned. >> Okay. >> I'm just going to play the video and you tell me to stop and you'll see it happen right And scan, scan. Scan. Doesn't scan. And then when I caught on to it, I had paused the transaction right there. You'll see it pause. And then the SCO host went and fixed that error. But skipping did not stop and then bagging was being placed on top of merchandise. And you'll see that happen right here. That little hair stuff. She's going to She's going to place the bag on top of it along with the cat litter, cat litter, whatever it is. >> The merchandise uh that was on her person, was it in the purse or uh >> It was in the purse. So >> Okay, you have a >> These two are separate receipts. One was from the cart and then once we got out there was more merchandise in the bag. That's the separate one. But on the affidavit, that's the total amount for both of them. >> Uh we got a video of this video for passing all points of sale at this location for the >> That's right. >> few items. So >> Passing all points of sale. Introduction. Remember what my witness is my witness. >> Unfortunately, for the suspect, most of what she did was clearly caught on camera. >> You want video of when stuff was getting out of her bag? >> If uh yeah, if you have any footage cuz I know there's some aisles that don't have >> I don't have footage of what aisles it happened in. I have footage of when it happened in the office. That's what I >> when you Okay, I got you. >> What happened today? What's what's going on? >> Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I got a sweaty nose and a sweaty nose. >> No, it's fine. I mean, are we going through some tough times or Okay. Yeah, that's my job.

I mean, losing your job 2 weeks ago, pretty understandable. So, what what happened exactly today? Like, what were No, cool. >> All I know is that I needed to get a couple of things and I think I'm in here cuz everybody always says they're money when they need to. I don't know. I just thought about a few things that I wanted and I was literally going to put back and I just really forgot I don't >> Officers identify the suspect as Monica Cortaza and rather than holding back, she seems ready to talk about her actions and even her prior record. >> All right, what's >> All right, Monica, do you have any any other comments or anything you want to say about the incident that happened today? >> I'm sorry, what? >> I know you said you've stolen from here previously, but you were just never caught? >> I got caught one time. >> And that was where?

Go and stand up for me. >> Am I being arrested? >> Go and turn around. Hands behind your back. >> Do you have anything on you that's going to stick us, hurt us, poke us in any way? Okay, is there anything in your bag that we need to know about? >> My head. >> We're 10-15. 2:15 has a 10-15 hotel voucher. >> Was that one too tight for you? Which one? That one? Okay. >> And at this point, no. >> Given the amount that you stole and given your uh criminal history, cuz you have two prior convictions out of Georgia. So, both related to theft charges. >> Okay, all right. I drove here. >> Is this your phone? >> Yes. >> Is there anything in your bag that we need to know about? Since it's going with you, we got to search it. >> Yeah. >> Huh? >> I have my medication. >> And this pepper spray here? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> The female officer wastes no time checking the suspect's bag and soon finds what she's hiding inside. >> Pepper spray here? >> Yeah. >> Okay.

I found And I found more stolen merchandise. And I haven't even finished searching your bags. Is there anything else in the bag that we need to know about? You're only helping yourself at this point by letting us know. Okay. >> Before wrapping things up, the officers take another look through her bag to ensure nothing has been missed. >> The lighter's not You just can't take the lighter to the jail with you. That's all. Is this That's old I mean, I see it's used, so. Okay. All right, stand up. >> When we get out there, you want to kind of just point out where your car's at, so we can find it. All right, let's follow Deputy Hill. >> Um actually, I'm going to have Chelsea retrieve all of her stuff to her car. >> Okay. >> Can you just save it until our ride comes with her car? >> I'm sorry. >> I can hear you. >> I've got cheese and stuff in the other boot. >> Monica's your first name, right? >> Yes. >> Okay.

Stick around because this interaction will leave you shaking your head. >> Can you roll the window down? Roll your window down. What's going on? >> She won't let me pass. >> Cuz she's going the wrong way? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. All right, is there a reason why we're getting hostile about it? >> Yeah, cuz she started >> I'm talking to you. Okay, here. Look. >> Because she started me off and she's telling me to back up.

Shoplifting was only this man's first mistake. On July 2nd, 2025, officers were called to a general store following reports of a suspect caught shoplifting. Here's what the store owner has to say when confronted about the incident. >> Hi, how are you?

What officers found on the scooter shoplifter changed everything. On April 3rd, 2023, officers responded to a local Target after staff reported a man walking out with an electric scooter he never paid for.
