Where you going? Where you going? Where you going? Where you going? Let's stop. Let's stop. Let's stop. Let's stop. >> Nothing, man. >> All right. All right. Chill. Chill. Talk to me. Talk to me. Talk to All right. No, man. >> Don't make me Don't make me put your hands on me. Just relax. Come talk to me. >> No, man. No, man. >> What happened? You're not going anywhere. >> I ain't stole nothing. >> Hey, relax. >> I haven't stole anything. Hey, >> man. I haven't stole anything. >> This your last chance. >> Last chance, sir. I haven't stolen any chance or you're going on the ground. No, >> I'm not bugging. >> Some people think shoplifting is just about timing and confidence. These folks thought they had both. These shoplifterss have no idea police are watching their every move. Repeat offender pushes her luck. It doesn't work. On July 1st, 2025, officers responded to a target after staff reported that a woman had shoplifted and was trying to leave. Here's what happened when they caught up to her in the parking lot. Hi, >> I'm here because Target called and said you stole something. >> I'll go take it back. Well, I don't know if they're gonna >> wait. You obviously know you said something. You said I'll take it back. >> Should we just >> Well, just wait here. We'll see what Target wants to do. What? I mean, >> I'll just >> Well, just wait. What did you take? I don't want to cause a scene inside. >> See if they can come out here and we can figure it out. Like maybe opened up some OC spray or pepper spray or something. And they said, >> "You open up?" >> Yeah, >> cuz I thought they >> Come on. They know your name already cuz you've been here before stealing for something. >> No, I haven't. >> Well, they they gave provided us your name. I never smoke your first two level one infection >> in my life. >> I'm just telling you what our notes say on the call. So, is this your daughter or who's this? Okay. So, you opened up pepper spray. What else did you steal? >> And she had scanned this. >> Do you have an idea on >> You've never been arrested before or anything? Have you? >> Um, >> I'm going to find out. I mean, we we can like be done here in a minute and write you a ticket or we can make it a big deal. Like, we're not trying to do that. If we can write you a ticket and be done, we'll be done. Like, >> but I mean like I I don't know what Target wants to do. They called. If you could have paid for it, you should have paid for it before you came outside, right? >> Great. I can ride with >> No. What's your last name? Okay. Is she on the ticket? Born in '94. All right. I'm just going to go in and tell her we're writing a ticket and be done with her. That's exactly >> Okay, I'll be right back. >> The officers catch up to her just in time, but her response to them immediately takes the situation to an unexpected turn. >> Um, all right. They're waiting for you. Like, what are we doing? >> I don't know if I'm like allowed to go out there cuz we're not about >> What? So, she said she didn't pay for a red skirt and she took a pepper spray >> and that tote bag that's in there. Whatever you want to get, whatever you want to get. And then has she been here before? >> Yep, she's been here before. She's she goes to um she's been apprehended at Woodfield to a lot of places. >> Wow. Okay. So, you guys have you been arrested from here before? >> So, she has been arrested before? >> Not in our store. She was president December. >> Okay. here. I'm sorry. I could pay for it. I really can't. >> But what about like all the other times you got caught? She said you got caught in Shamberg in December for stealing from Target. >> Yeah. And that was a totally misundersto You have your warrant right now. They're saying it's valid from Cook County, not Kane. >> No, no. I have my probation tomorrow. Look, I'll show you. I have >> Tell me what the computer says. >> I'll show you. I'll show >> I get that, ma'am. All I can go off of is what probation. Look for probation. For what? What are you on probation for? >> For retail thefts, for batteries. What are you on? What are you on probation for? >> It's from a long time ago. >> I get that, but >> What are they That'll just put you on probation for nothing. What are you on probation for? >> A misdemeanor. >> Okay. What was the charge that you're on probation for? >> For I think taking >> for retail thefts. Okay. >> In county, but I have probation. He call I can call him right now. We f I talked to the judge. I'm coming in and I'm paying the $40 to quash and then they're going to see me and I'm going to do my and do everything. >> Following the suspect's admission, officers talked to staff and what they confirm about her comes as a surprise. >> Do you know like if you would have just paid for all this, none of this would have happened today, but you I mean it sounds like you might have a problem, right? Like you keep doing it. >> So I don't >> you're on probation for retail thefts. You got trespassed in se in December from another one. And you like stole from here before? >> No. Yeah. I've never been at everywhere. >> Like they have your picture everywhere. They know who you are. >> Just stop. >> You have attitude with my with our security officers. >> No, I'm I never have attitude with them ever. >> I I'd be I'm >> Is it's a Cook County warrant. I always see. >> Here's the quash for it. She's got like four or five arrests. We can't write her another P ticket. >> She's on probation for retail theft. >> Why would you not write do that? Why would they not update it? >> I don't know if they have or not yet. So, she said she just left there with the warrant. >> I believe it. >> She said she's like, I just left court. >> Traffic offense. This is the only warrant I see in here. I have some paperwork for the warrant that was issued today with the same 24 MT number says that it's quashed and she has a new court date on July 9th. Can you advise that to county and make sure that that's okay? >> And I just came from there from the one. >> Oh, >> we just dropped it off. >> Can you go grab a receipt with the prices for me real quick? >> Yeah, she had a to >> She put something in the car when I got here. So, >> merchandise, too. >> Okay. So, she put something in the car, too, that she stole, too. I don't know why she's trying to be tricky about this. Let's grab the bag you stole out, too. Just come on. Let's just get this done. Stop playing games. You have like You've done this. You have a problem. Let's just fix it and be on our way for real. Otherwise, I'll tow the car and do all this. I don't want to do that. All right. Let's just act like an adult and know what we did and be done with it. >> And there's another >> It's probably Maybe it's an >> You could You could go. >> Okay. Well, yeah. I know. >> Caught in the act, she still avoids zoning up and the officers respond with a quick reality check. >> So, can you if you don't if she can get this up, if you want to if we want to uh take her to the PD, I'll get everything from here and do everything. So, help you out. >> Let's go ahead. >> So, she has a Cook County warrant and a King County warrant. The King County warrant looks like it was quashed, but not the Cook County warrant. So, she'll have to go with us. We'll see if there's a bond amount. They might even say like just release her with a new court tape. I don't know when the case is from, >> but we're going to take her and charge her with all the stuff she stole today because it's not like it's her first time. >> Wait, you need all my >> Everything you stole today is what we need. She knows what you stole. So, this bag, too. >> We'll just take the cart and then review everything. I need the milk, though. Yeah, that's >> What do you have receipts for before we have to do this four or five times? This is I just want to make sure you haven't been honest with me today so far. So >> I mean I don't know. There's this dove stuff. Is this stuff that was stolen, too? >> No, I had >> I'm just asking. I don't know. >> I mean, if they scan this and it comes here, like what about this Soulce Janeiro stuff that doesn't look like it's been opened? >> That's from That's not from me. I'm just I mean this is what happens. >> You open it. That looks >> okay. Just I'm just I believe you. I'm just What about these though? >> This is my >> What about these? >> She has the camera, so much stuff she stole. >> All right. Well, you do have a Cook County warrant, so we got to deal with that. >> I was going tomorrow. I have it. >> I don't know what to tell you. >> Come on. >> Don't steal and you wouldn't have been caught today. Like I I I'm sorry. I I don't feel bad for you when you keep doing the same things. Maybe the warrant will let you leave. I don't know. Maybe they'll just be like, "Oh, you're free to go." >> You said that. >> Now, the officers check the suspect's belongings. And with every item, the woman's situation only gets worse. >> Do you want to What? want me to stay here, get all this stuff taken care of? >> Well, if I have to get situated now, >> you have to go with us no matter what. We have to process you for stealing all this stuff again. So, I don't know. Then we'll find out on the way there hopefully what the warrant information is and you can call mom and tell mom what what you need. When was like I don't know if it's an old case there'd be a bottom. If it's not an old case, then you're going to get >> for a miss court. That's what hurt probation and I have can I can go on my phone. I >> I know you can but that's not your probation officer is not going to be do anything for us unfortunately. Like we can only go off of what our computer says. If you had the Kane County warrant like you had the paperwork so we were totally cool with that. I would have just been like it's quash you can do it July 9th but you got to go county. >> So what are we going to do? >> Yeah we're going to go to the station and just start working on this so we can get you out of here as fast as possible. If you go with us, it's our fingerprints. >> As long as K County says I can let you go within the court date, then you'll be out of here in like >> We're going to take her so we can get this going and then I'll go in with you and get everything that you need. Is that okay? >> Yeah. >> All right. I'm going to >> take a picture of her before I >> Okay. Look, you want to take a picture of her real quick? This is loss prevention from Target. If you do, it's completely up to them. >> I mean, but you >> Yeah, we're I mean, she'll we're going to allow her to let you know. >> You seen it? >> Yeah. before. Oh, >> yeah. Yeah. >> Already. >> It just depends on when the warrants from. >> You said I got to do the the stupid handcuff thing. It's rules and my boss is staying right next to me. So, >> we'll do it in the front though. Okay. I'll be I'll be cool. >> Mom, we're going to go to the South Belgium Police Station. >> Okay. >> I don't know if you have stuff that you need to go do or want to take care of the baby. We can call you, >> have her call you as soon as we figure it out, >> or you can go to the police station and wait inside the lobby until we have an answer. It's up to you. >> I'll definitely just wait on >> for her to get a hold of you. And uh well, I definitely need to take care of her. >> Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I think she just dropped it. >> Okay. Yeah, I know it's hot. We're not trying to inconvenience you, but we got to take her. >> Given her prior warrants, the suspect faced a considerably heavier charge. After her stunt at Target, she was charged with felony retail theft. Shoplifter uses the worst excuse possible. On March 8th, 2024, officers responded to a Walmart in New Jersey after staff detained a woman accused of skipping multiple items at selfch checkckout. Here's what happened when they arrived. >> Hello. How you guys doing? >> Hello. Hi. How are you, man? You pregnant? >> Yes. >> Are you good? You didn't know any medical attention or anything like that? >> No. >> No. Okay. You guys have any complaints? Okay. Hi. Hi. All the stuff that is not scanned that's outside. Okay. >> And what those three cards that you see out here, those are scanned. And the other two on this side, that's the stuff that's not scanned. >> Okay. >> Um, let me call Josh cuz he's the one that has the receipt. But it was $522. >> Okay. So definitely you guys are pressing charges. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> $522. That was a scam. >> Huh? >> You saying it was 522? That was >> Yeah, we went we went through all four of your receipts. All four of them. Nothing was missing. We did it on the computer. We didn't We did it on the app. >> How is that possible? >> Cuz I scanned everything. >> The clubs in the front. It scans everything to the to the thing and I'm visually impaired. So whatever I didn't see it's a mistake. >> Yeah. But even if it's a mistake, we this is our policy. Once the >> but I can pay for everything. >> So like I explained to you when you go to selfch checkout, you are responsible for everything that happens in selfch checkout. >> That's what I'm saying. If it was a mistake, I can pay for everything. Like I'm 6 months pregnant to go and I never ever have a record. Like my record's super clean. That's between you guys. >> What do you guys want to do? >> Like I can pay for everything right now. No problem. >> So I I have to follow my policy. I'm sorry. There's nothing I could do. >> So we have Yeah, we have to press We have to press charges. There's nothing I can do. >> Pull the cuff in front. >> Oh, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Can I call somebody like this is a mistake. With the officers now in the security room, the store's loss prevention staff reveals just how much the suspect stole. And it's something hard to ignore. >> Not this is I can pay for these people. >> Listen to me. I'm going to explain to your process. All right? It's not the end of the world. All right? You're just going to be processed. You're going to be released in a summon. That's all. >> I don't live out here. >> Let me get Let me get your >> I don't live out here. I live in New York. >> My whole family is in New York. like you go to jail or anything like that. You're just going to get a ticket and you go to court. That's it. That's about >> But I don't live out here. So I'm trying to explain. >> You're going to be released though regardless. We're going to take you in, process you, and you'll be released. So what's going to happen? >> Just without >> I don't even know what that is. I've never ever been to court or nothing. >> You'll have a court date and then you eventually go to court for this situation. But you'll get you. But that's what I'm saying. Like if I have the money to pay for my mistake cuz I'm visually blind and I didn't see like things that weren't scared. I'm not understanding why I can't pay for it. Like I don't live out here, ma'am. I'm 6 months pregnant. My whole family's in New York. I don't have nobody out here. It was a two honest mistake. I never have stolen. I don't have a record. I don't have no type of criminal record. >> I understand that. But when you go, like I explained to you when you first came in the office. I don't know if you heard me, Walmart is allowed to recharge us over $25, but because we have a a deal with them, we have to >> I know you said $200, but it was a mistake. >> I I get I understand that, but if I don't if I don't follow my policy, I can get in trouble. So, I don't I'm covering my back right now. And it's I as much as I can and I want to help and I want to I have to follow my policy because this was called out by one of one of our managers. So, I have to do it. What? What was the uh >> um Josh has the receipt, but it was Well, my last check was 522. >> Okay. I be saying it's 10. >> No, I did the purchase in different like I purchased like I did a cart. I put it away and I put it away in the front desk and I did another cart. So, everything wasn't at the same time. No, I'm going take >> the suspect attempts to plead her case, but the officers firmly remind her that policies are in place for a reason and they won't be making exceptions today. >> Everything wasn't at the same time like when I came I >> came at 3 and she had we also went through that receipt that was safe to her for her in customer service. So when she was leaving, we stopped for the car that we saw her at this time. So, we had to go through all receipts. We went through all four receipts and whatever it's in there, it just wasn't in none of the receipts that we all out of all four. >> But this is how much it was. >> That's what I'm saying. Like, if I didn't see it, I can pay for it. But it wasn't something that I did purposely. I promise you, I did not do that purposely. >> How many mistakes can you make? It was probably four. How many times? Four times. But you went in and out. No, I did one transaction and then I did another. Yeah, I didn't go I didn't steal like I wasn't doing that. >> I just did one transaction selfch checkout and then I did the other one selfch checkout. >> She saw me with She showed me what there's things that I didn't pass and I honestly said that I have a vision problem. Maybe I didn't see it pass but I did do the scanning through. thing is you purposely put your hand under the barcode and would scan what you want. >> No, I couldn't do that. >> I mean, I have it on video. >> Ultimately, they want to press charges. There's nothing much. >> You can explain that to the judge. All right. >> We're not going to have cuff you in the back because you're pregnant. Just put your hands outside. >> Can I call my mother and let her know? >> I I'll give you I'll allow you to call. That's >> because I don't I don't even know her no by heart. Like, I don't know what I know her by heart. >> Listen to me. Listen to me. All right. >> You didn't do it on purpose. swear a guy didn't do it on purpose. I >> you can tell that to the judge. All right, which is going to process you. Okay, they have video of it. You go to court and you set up with the judge. All right, you can explain them to him that you are legally blind or what not. Do you make a mistake? That's up to you and the court. All right, right now you're going to be placing arrest. Yo, this is freaking crazy right now, bro. Once loss prevention completes their review, they reveal information that leaves little doubt about what truly happened. >> Do you have a driver's license or ID? >> Yeah, my So what happens to the rest of my my food for my family? >> What's going to happen to the rest of >> I mean? Yeah. So if she she's going to have to come either get her after >> I can't I don't have That's really tight. I can't I don't have a car. Mama, >> like I don't live here and I don't have a car. So, how am I going to get my stuff? >> Nobody knows. >> Did you get a refund for it? >> Yeah, she a paid. >> I don't want a refund. My kids are hungry at home. I want my food to give to my kids. Can someone else pick it up? >> No, nobody can pick it up. Who's going to pick it up? I told you I don't live in Jersey. >> How do you came here? >> I came in a cab. >> Okay. Well, after you guys release, we can bring you back here. Give them another cup back. We just go. That's it. Simple. >> This is crazy right now. >> Six. I'm going to give you a crazy And now, rather than addressing the seriousness of her predicament, the suspect becomes preoccupied with something entirely different. I saw you said these three things right here are per stuff. Okay. Okay. All right. >> Who's who's going to give you the statement? >> Okay. Ashley Maria Rosario. >> Yeah. Affirmative. That's so much. All right. So, today's Friday, uh, March 8th. Time is 6:35. Officer Castillo with Mr. >> Joshua Nun. So, what do you do here? What's going on? >> I'm an API associate asset protection investigator. >> So, can you explain to me what happened today? >> So, I was watching selfch checkout and I noticed that um she would scan an item and then put her hand under the more expensive item covering the barcode and would pass it. >> Okay. >> So, making pretend she's scanning but then she's like avoiding scanning because she's covering the barcode. >> Okay. So you sold out to CCTV footage or you were personally by the >> I saw it by CCTV footage. Okay. All >> right. And then what happened? >> So um we paused the transaction. We let a associate go over there try to help her. Basically giving her the chance to fix her wrong. And she continued to do the same thing. Um she paid for some items. She didn't pay for this these items right here. Um, she passed all points of food. >> Loss prevention lays out the stolen merchandise and the sheer volume of it is enough to leave anyone stunned. >> And then that's when I stopped there in the vestibule. I approached her. I told her my name. I told her that I work for Walmart, that I'm an asset protection investigator. There's some stuff in the cart that's not scanned. And I brought her back. >> Okay. All right. Sounds good. Uh this concludes the uh official statements. The time is now 6:37. All right. >> No, bro. No. I already tried, man. >> They're saying that the way I holded it, it looks like I was being sneaky and all this extra. No, they're saying that I can't pay for it. It's policy. >> That's what I said. >> Why? I'm coming. He said I'm getting right out. That's what the officer just said. He said they're going to take me back to Walmart to get my stuff. that I stole. So now I have to see a judge and come back to Jersey for a freaking case for nothing that I didn't do. >> This is a manager. >> Yes. >> Don't come over here alone. >> No. I have to hang up. >> Faced with overwhelming evidence, the suspect still makes a decision that leaves the officers questioning her judgment. >> Yes, I have my puppets. inside my pocket. >> Everything's going to go with you. Okay. >> Anything else? >> No, that's it. >> You want to put the AirPod in here? >> No, he's getting rid of my ear. Um, we're going to go back. Thank you. >> Thank you. Hold on. Thank you. I think it's locked. You know what? Everybody have her step out and just see her her waist really quick. >> Yeah. Put Put that stuff in the front. >> Step out real quick. >> Put that in the front. Yeah. >> With the case nearly closed, it becomes clear that she still hasn't come to terms with what lies ahead. There's >> nothing on my waist. >> Yeah, I know. But we have to check regardless. It's all right. >> I don't have a wimpy. You are you talking about? >> We have to just check. We have to check. >> Ma'am, you are arrested. You know why you arrested? We need to check the weapons. >> I don't know cuz I never arrested. And what the I have a weapon with on pregnant and sector. Sector 3. Sector 4 is going to be 1502 46 Street for a black male wearing all black with a knife outside uh causing a scene and attacking people walking by. >> You can move over. I got to go to that. Go ahead. One 26 now. Yeah. in the front of the front. >> Now in custody, the suspect is transported to the station where the outcome of her decisions awaits. They're doing I actually don't know what that red bar is, but they got it up there. >> Have you ever hit that before? >> No. Heat. Heat. Investigators determined that the suspect attempted to steal merchandise valued at over $500, resulting in a charge of felony retail theft. Running from the police was his biggest mistake. On October 5th, 2024, officers responded to a local Walmart after staff reported a male customer suspected of shoplifting. What follows is a tense confrontation that starts off on the wrong foot. >> Where you going? Where you going? Where you going? Where you going? Let's stop. Let's stop. Let's stop. Let's stop. >> No, man. >> All right. All right. Chill. Chill. Talk to me. Talk to me. Talk to All right. No. >> Don't make Don't make me put your hands over me. Relax. Come talk to me. >> No, man.

I got eyes on >> him. >> Yeah. 144. >> I'm not stopping. And the other units ARE COMING, SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL CHILL OUT, DUDE. in the area. What's the last one? >> Chad, we're in the old. >> Really, DUDE? >> OVERFLOW. Don't touch me. Chill out. >> No. >> Chill out. >> Don't touch me, man. >> Chill out. Yeah. >> Stop. >> You don't want to do this. >> No. Don't touch me. >> Chill out. >> Please >> just sit down. >> Stop. >> I will. >> Stop touching me. >> Sit down. >> Enough. >> He's being detained. >> Okay. >> I'm down by the uh >> I'm in the back of the old man. >> I'm sorry, man. After putting up a brief struggle that leaves the officer catching his breath, the suspect quickly realizes he's picked the wrong officer to challenge. >> It's all right, dude. >> All right. Chill out. >> Chill out. You already know what's going to happen. >> Relax. All right. >> I got you. I got you. You know you up, dude. Make me run like that. >> You no better. >> Take it off. Try your hand out really quick because you're making this flesh. Ah, >> make over here. >> Yeah, I got some. All right. All right. I'm going to crash it. 44. I got your glasses. I got to put your other foot on so you can breathe, dude. >> I got your glasses. Relax. >> Take it easy, bro. Everything's fine. Just relax. >> Well, I don't know why you're so excited. Just calm down. Calm down. >> Calm down. >> Because what? I didn't up. I told you I was going to up. You have to get in my face like that. >> I know. You know I wasn't messing around. No, >> I didn't want to stop. >> Yeah, you got >> I asked you to sit down, dude. >> Sorry, man. Although he's been apprehended and is visibly winded, the suspect continues to resist, making the officer's task more challenging than it needs to be. >> Can you get some weight? >> You got anything on you? It's going to pop one piece. You see, >> thank God, man. You're a cool guy, man. >> I know. I know. I know. >> Cuz back here, I would be stupid. Help. >> Huh? >> You have the screen help. What was the track? >> Anything in his jacket? >> Yeah, he's air pumps. >> I don't even know what happened. He just take it off. >> Don't touch me. >> Oh, yeah. They were detaining him over there and they're walking. He was talking with the guys there. >> I to him and he kind of like don't touch me. Don't touch me. I can see people. >> What? Don't tell anybody. >> We'll get you some water. I don't have any water. >> We'll get you one. We get back to >> All right. Good. You want to put in one of these cars? I'll go walk out and find out what happened. You want to take it back? I'll go walk out and get my car. >> See what happened right now. You got me, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, >> I'm not going to do resistant by force. It's resistant by foot. You ran for me on the body camera, dude. >> It's not the old days, man. >> It's not the old days. >> I'm get you water. You want some water? >> I don't have any water. Do me a favor. Just double click them. >> All right. Here's what we're going to do. >> I don't have any water on them right now. >> No, but you give him up there. Let's take this handcuff. >> In a surprising turn, the suspect's attitude changes, easing the tension that had built moments earlier. Man, >> I am having four. I need water. Calm down, please. Please. Okay. Take the other jacket off. >> I want I want you. >> No, no, no. Just proper. Yeah, we're taking off the other jacket off the other arm. >> Okay, >> let's go again. >> No, >> see, all you got to do is stop. >> I was going to stop. >> Yeah, you try to fight. You try to test. >> I don't want to be >> funny. I was doing great. >> Chill out. >> Yeah. All right. Take a seat. Have you been locked up by it? It is what it is. >> Just take a seat in the car. >> About me. >> I got you. But >> no, >> it is what it is. Just give us your stuff. Don't joke around. There's no reason to joke around anymore. >> It is >> what? Have a seat in the car for me. >> Have a seat in the car for me, man. >> Sit in the car. >> I am. >> You're not sitting in the car. You're standing up. Relax, man. Yes. >> Just sit in the car. Believe me, when we get you water, you'll feel better. But sitting will be the first thing to help you. >> And also, I will cooperate at the preet. >> Please. >> Yeah, we'll get you some water, too, but I can appreciate it. >> No, please. I want to know, man. I won't cooperate. >> We don't have water with us. >> Water with me. >> They have it up there, man. >> I can't get anything from them. >> We have to get it from our headquarters.
