tickets as a cashier officers arrive at a 7-Eleven in response to reports that a cashier is stealing from the store in only 2 weeks the cashier has stolen over $5,000 in lottery tickets watch as the officers confront her and uncover the details of her scheme hello hello how you doing good how you [Music] doing Excuse me yes are you destining yes can I can you come talk to me for a second all we'll go on the back okay uh so I'm just going to wait for this other officer then [Music] okay all right so Destiny yes can you confirm your date of birth for me June 2 2000 okay so do you have any reason why we we're here talking to you no sir no reason at all Okay so we've it's been brought to our attention um that on three three different occasions um that there are shorts some lottery tickets okay um so I'm going to read you your rights okay and then we'll go from there okay so you have the right to remain silent anything you say anything you say can be used against you in court you have the right to have an attorney present now or anytime during questioning if you cannot afford an attorney any one will be appointed for you without cost if you have if you talk to me you have the right to stop answering questions and speak to an attorney at any time do you understand each of these rights okay so now knowing these rights are you willing to uh speak to me and answer questions yes sir yes I have a question can I [Music] call okay can you call who no cuz the girl that still with me okay the suspect admits to taking what she describes as just a few tickets but the evidence tells a very different story so do you have any any knowledge on what I'm talking about any messing yes so so what's going on like some I'm not going to lie sometimes I do so you're you're taking lottery tickets but I pay for I pay for some but not all of them you pay for some but not all of them okay um how many would you say you've taken not a lot cuz I been pay for I would do okay um have you had any winners not all the time but you've had some yeah but it's most of them that I done paid for like I have receipts that I done pay for majority of them at my house I could really I have receipts okay so on on on some of the tickets you're scanning them and then you're so you're scratching off the barcode at the bottom scanning them and then taking money out of the register not all you yeah yes okay um so you don't know you don't know how many you've taken okay um is a reason you're doing it no are you hurting for money I mean but I mean I know we all are times are tough but you be honest we're not here like to yell at you nothing you could be totally honest us be 100% so just no real reason okay um how long have you been working here two weeks oh two weeks okay and so we have three dates in particular M does that sound right I you don't know no okay the woman's scheme is simple she steals lottery tickets during her shift scratches them off without paying and cashes out the winnings unfortunately for her the transactions have been traced to her shifts and the Florida Lottery flagged the store after detecting unusual payout patterns um so there's there's a lot of tickets missing I'm going to be honest with you okay so on hold this one second so on on the 22nd the lottery register showing negative 20 over $2,300 see I know I never I never got I'm sorry I misspoke on the 22nd so this is face value I'm not talking about cash that you taken out of the register I never got over the ticket the ticket value okay on the 22nd is over $1,200 worth of tickets on the 23rd there's over $1,700 worth of tickets and then yesterday there's over $2,300 worth of tickets I never I never got over that much money for real for real no I'm talking about tickets so so a ticket for example $50 per ticket so that adds up that adds up so I'm not talking about cash so so that you say I stole over $200 over tickets basically that's what I so there's 5,3 $18 worth the tickets missing and they're all coming they're all coming they all like I stole all of them so what so what I'm saying is based on numbers provided during your shift second shift between 2 and 10 these are the numbers missing and it's Bas so from what we're being told is you're the you've been the only one here on second shift between two and 10 is that correct yes but and then those are the that's the amount sh showing missing for those 3 days but I know I did not wow that is crazy but you have you have taken tickets without paying for I haven't took all that amount I'm I know I haven't for real but you have taken tickets without paying for them scratching them off and cashing out and keeping the change yes I'm I understand you're saying not all of them but I'm I'm asking you that is the case you just don't know you don't know how many tickets you've taken you don't know how much cash you've taken but you okay with a suspect admitting to the theft the officers move in to take decisive action see how the suspect responds to what happens next okay all right do you have any questions for me I have a question I'm going be honest with you yes okay cuz can I call somebody

suspect was taken into custody and was charged with felony grand theft and sentenced to 3 years of probation number four entitled employee thinks she can go home after stealing on the job up next officers responded to another lottery ticket theft this time involving a wind Dixie cashier who stole $1,000 in scratch offs watch as they unravel her scheme and witness her attempt to talk her way out of arrest all right so what's happening is we have an associate um okay we started seeing some Lottery shortages over here for instant ticket and online um it started back around the beginning of July um and it's gone on to present so since all us individuals been selecting lottery cards lottery cards playing online tickets yes okay you want go back in for real quick okay he said going on I don't know what's going on so I can yeah do I don't want my keys to be stuck out the door and I know well we don't I don't know what's going on yet so let me talk to him and we'll go from there um so have her on video you know selecting tickets mainly at the liquor store she would just scratch the bottom to see if they'll winner not discard them if they weren't cash them in if they were and there's also another process on the cash register tow um like if somebody brings up a winning ticket we can key in instant Lottery Redemption and then put in the dollar amount and then we pay that out well she figured out that she could do that even without a winning ticket and everything's still balanced on the back end in our world but then we got the bill from Lottery then obviously we were like okay well we paid out more redemptions than what we received okay and so that's when all this started unfold um so we're looking at um total that I can prove that she took 8 was $1,653 something like that during that time everything on video I got it all in a thumb drive for you everything on video I've got the r r report that shows our redemptions on our register and then the all of the redemptions on the Florida Lottery terminal since we don't own that I had to get that to the state and that shows everything of what ticket she scan what the value is on an Excel spreadsheet so log in for her information doesn't matter the machine is a machine anybody The Machine's a machine anybody can do it but it's her scheduled shift and obviously on video she's the only one at the liquor store cuz we usually only work one person at the liquor store okay to summarize the employee would scratch lottery tickets during her shift cashing in the winnings and discarding the losers later she discovered a flaw in the store system that allowed her to process payouts without entering a ticket number or code this loophole enabled her to steal $111,000 through fraudulent transactions basically she's been taking lottery tickets scan the bottom if they're winners or not they're not winners they don't way if they are winners she scans them takes the money and she found a way to get to make a lottery ticket to win every time and it's been going on since July they have a non Drive full of all the started July 2 I think was the first day that we [Music] discovered um so do you have like dat and times written out you have anything written out yet or no everything's on that thumb Dr as far as ex spread sheets as the officers deliberate and speak with the store manager outside the security room the suspect does something that's completely unexpected so she's basically taking lottery tickets scanning them but don't they have to be activated first they're all active because they're all you know for game play you said sorry I didn't know what's going on for a I will tell you we're trying to figure that out I'm trying to figure out what I have okay I'm gonna figure out if we're taking a jail or not taking a jail well I to know because I will let you know once I know I will let you know okay so can you shut down for me my kids I have seven and a child that's school right now have an so let them figure out what's going take a for me we'll figure it out you know so I just can't just go home that now why so because the allegations I guess we have going on against they still going to investigate this all okay well now that they did their investigation now they can tell us what they have going on they had to talk to somebody else that finish going on going well they're providing us a verbal statement what's been going on since July okay so we it's not more like you just stole a candy bar okay I guess there's a question about almost $1,000 worth of Lottery get [Music] over what book num and ticket num so yes we're going to hey is that something you wrote down you want to you want that back or she's right she's okay the suspect shows no sign of remorse answering the officer with blatant disrespect the manager who has been in his position for 15 years comments that this is the first time anyone has discovered how to cheat the system they do instant aotter Redemption as a as a hand key and then they put $30 we give you 30 bucks right well everything balances in our world until the state which we only get quarterly the state send us a bill that says hey you actually overpaid something we overpaid we overpaid the redemptions because she figured out that she could just do that instant Lottery Redemption for no ticket and get the take whatever money she wanted out of wi or fake correct or no loser having a ticket not even having a ticket she just goes up goes instant Lottery redemptions $100 $100 $1 tiet correct you can just computerize correct correct is that normal practice in my 15 years here I've never had somebody figure that part out that they could just do it without a so obviously something on our back end that might need to be addressed but yeah they gave you that opportunity okay and then she played some online stuff too I mean the online's probably a couple hundred bucks but the rest is heads up to the you know 10,600 something okay do you have a print out of I didn't print it out cuz it was just so big I mean these reports are M USB that you have what is on it I've got all the video um offer doing all this stuff I have all the receipts video security yeah security video time stamp and D yeah time stamp dat um I have one file that has all the video one file that has now watch as the officer confronts the suspect and how she reacts to learning that there's a possibility for her to go to jail huh just been out here I just saw that she got up over there and you moved back so you jump cuz she told me to make a phone call so I'm trying to think of who can I call to get my kids off her children are about to get out of school so she was but I do need this that's what I'm trying to figure out cuz people in my neighborhood make sure they so I'm trying to think who went around my house I will try to figure it out that's what I'm trying to so while we're doing figuring out stuff out here so you figure out what's going on so can you ask him get the statement that they were just talking to me about this two months ago I will gladly ask him don't worry about that but I'm telling you right now I'm going to be talking with them we're going to figure out what we have going on you haven't until by the time he come in here and talk to you about what's going on you figure out a ride for your family for your kids and Ja there's a possibility why because apparently you stole almost $111,000 and my the Cory and Charles that R this store they had a conversation with me and they wrote me up but let me like I said let me figure out what they have over here just get somebody see if they can pick your kids up just in case if you do happen to go to jail thing I'm trying to think who can I call my family don't stay here they say is Georgia okay well you need to figure out a family or somebody or I can call my friends this child prote services so can I call y'all um one of the police officers that used to work with you guys can I get my used to or does tell you about the meeting we had hang on see now he don't want to say nothing cuz he's talking with us I told you you just can't interrupt we're talking now so figure out what you're doing figure out somebody with your kids okay the officer allows the suspect to arrange for her kids to be picked up from school but she's not done with her rude remarks and unreasonable requests can she walk me in the bathroom no I'm beding like no she's walking with me no you're not going anywhere I can't even go pee no you cannot go pee so how do I supposed to use the bathroom it's either you make phone calls now for somebody to get your kids okay I'm helping you that or I put you in handcuffs and we just go no we're not doing that can we have to listen to It's My you're in my custody right now you're not free to go you're under investigative detention right now okay you know what that mean also want to okay okay this the actual total amount we can just [Music] put let me ask question if a police standing in front of me they could they could deny me for use the restro [Music] you got to tell them why we're in front of you you're making accusations of you stealing $1,000 from when Dixie again ATI okay because with when I started back over here he's saying that um $11,000 worth of Lotto I took so the police stand here I have to pee like I'm bleeding like he telling me no I cannot go I just just ask him he said no she can't even go with me he said I have to stand here cool yes can you just for that em to that right there [Music] yeah it's standard protocol for the officer to search and escort a detain suspect before allowing them to use the restroom however the suspect remains defiant arguing with the officer's orders if a female me I should be able to go it has to be law enforcement y can't stand at the door ain't no no in the bathroom do you have a I need a f oh my gosh no the thing is I'm having a female officer come here it's going to search you prior to going to the bathroom oh she's going search you want take in my pocket no I was opening my clothes this what's in my pocket fine these only thing in here is milk and it's leak and that's it you are fine okay he saiding no I said can't go but why don't you ask her see if she will um go pick up your little ones just in case you do have to come I canot hear [Music] you okay she said the same thing you said what I'm sorry when the police say something to me I call somebody e to work for the police department she said long as a female officer I can go other than that if it's a male I cannot go I have to sit here and hold my y so Mr art so they didn't tell you about the write up they gave me for that what's that they didn't tell you about the write up that the whole conversation we had in here cuz I had it with Charles in cour that's fun I mean but but this is about the same thing you just talking about correct cuz at that point we didn't we didn't know where the loss was coming he said he said the he said he said the lotto the lotto is messing up so you whatever you needs to stop he said cuz it's a lot of money for that then after then it was another one for the Florida Lottery security officers arrive on the scene and the responding officer informs them about the case 3 days ago Lottery police got contacted by when Dixie about it they've compiled all the paperwork and all like the files and everything for wind Dixie so there's a PDF up here with like tons of information on it about video surveillance I guess each actual um scratch off ticket dates times money value I mean we're like 11 Grand over 5 months man I mean that that's yeah that's that's that's corp's problem well it's that it's Grand Theft War Dixie has their own corporate that investigate like this yeah they you wait five months to do this well they just knew about it 3 weeks ago because they got alerted by the state regarding I guess basically they sent a summary or whatever and I guess they said like oh you're you're over this amount because basically each ticket has a value so she would go in just go to the computer and just take money out without scanning a ticket so that thing it hit and then I guess that when they found out about it they started investigating it contact the lottery police L police sent him all the information um I guess he just got the rest of the information I don't know yesterday today a 2 days ago and then I guess uh she's here so nobody's talked to her yet um I guess Lottery police so that they have too high of a workload that they're not going to come take this and then it's just simple grand theft and if you need him to come to the station to uh go this way to explain all the paperwork and how to read it and all this other kinds of stuff they they've been helpful already so he'd be more than happy to come to you I appreciate it like I don't understand why they just don't do but whatever the officers now talk with the store manager once again to inform him about what comes next a lot of statement form basically just put your information here okay down here put her information okay and then let's just make this the easy way so on the statement form just write um on this date of this time I was informed of XYZ um you begin an investigation which you ultimately determine that from this month this day to this month this day employee X was doing XYZ um you contact the lottery police uh they went ahead and sent you over all the files as far as video dates times I'm assuming the the transaction yeah like all the video and all the register transaction was from us and then I had to go through the state to get the the the lot their Lottery terminal reports and that's that's what I contacted the scans of the actual the scans right and then just say you got all that information just say that um it has been determined that the total amount of of of theft from um you know business or whatever is amount of dollars um and then just put in there that you wish to pursue charges okay all right okay cool I mean that's I mean we don't have to go too deep into yours right I mean I mean everything's on the thumb drive so I know it's going to take some time to do day by day and each time and I that's a lot that's I was going to say it's probably going to be she actually depending on she has if she doesn't then we'll havea release her while we continue to work the investigation because it sounds like it's kind of in debt for months right so um and once we arrest her the state has 33 33 days to file on those charges so if we can't really make sense of it for them then they're going to drop it so obviously the only thing I'm worried about is restitution so obviously have to go through the prosecution part to get that so is it is it wind that's had a loss or is it for the lottery I'm in a loss for the value of the now the cases that I've worked for in the past is we'll prosecute for the value of the tickets cuz that's my loss and then the state goes after that person for the winnings of those fraud tickets okay so that's what usually happens that's the manager is determined to press charges to gain restitution with the store at a loss of over $1,000 and that for FL ay yeah what's the total value for the for L is 10,000 yeah 10 10653 for the uh just for the tickets yes okay yeah yeah then the the St probably be triple that yeah depending on what you want yeah so like I said just on that just kind of like just this day you found out about this you begin an investigation and you know just kind of the format of it so cuz I I'll P likely I'll I'll be doing the initial just a brief just we got here reference to this is what he said it was handed over to them to okay spend the more man power time to sit sit there and go through everything so most like going to happen is they're going to take the initial report it'll come up to us and we look at everything that you provide to them and kind of make sense of it for the state and then file the charges okay as long as I been it through the courts I mean that's my only hope is restitution [Applause] so who do you want to do Mira an interview you I don't really have a lot of knowled but I'll give a shot just understand always understand now the officers moved to question the suspect once again how she answers

matter you're pulling from me you don't do anything that I don't tell you to do do you understand thatou my hand was on your couch do that car I'm not happy just just leave Al bird was charged with felony grand theft and sentenced to 2 years of probation however after violating the terms she was sentenced to only 8 months in jail number three cashier steals $1,000 $200 on the job at a local Ross a cashier was caught on camera executing a clever scheme to steal money during her shift she used a short ring tactic scanning cheaper barcodes or applying unauthorized discounts to merchandise welcome how's it going man that basically um undering so discounts and then also undering in the manner of like let's say I want this shirt or this pants I'mma scan a random item that's like 99 cent or 49 cent for that item uh passive merchandise is not scanning it putting in in the bag got video of it yeah yeah everything everything's already um so the total she admitted to was 1292 94 because I also had her for cash she's here yeah she's here I had her for cash shortage from before um but I was able to add to the case value as well so um she's back here yeah she's back in there she knows you guys called us so I have all of the transactions uh where the loss occurred the loss has Ur and then there like I said she admitted to you have videos and everything on on the disc yeah yeah yeah yeah I got it on the thumb drive and then she admitted to the cash step we don't have video of that cuz adion to it today just now yeah just did a statement yeah uh written statement yeah I'll just take a picture that and then I mean I still got this show admit to you she's real [Applause] Co you come in here for a second all right so right there [Applause] the store's loss and prevention officer now presents the paperwork and evidence they gathered doing all the leg work for the investigation so this is all for you including this this is you there's nine transactions on there this is her personal information including her birthday no social on there and these are all the transactions so basically she would item delete items and then she would also pass off items this is the property receipt for so the on highlighted is what have you guys lost yeah on here and right here is the items that she deleted not necessarily just lost where's everything you guys lost total that's what I'm trying to explain like it's it's it's a little bit more complicated so unless you want me to like put for each transaction how much but basically you add this up it's a certain amount plus adding this up is a certain amount so I have that if you want me to write that down I have that on my other um I have that on my um is this one incident yeah each one one of these is one incident it's nine separate transactions so basically it's a mixture of stuff so this one she item deleted stuff and then didn't scan stuff this is the property receipt for the stuff that she didn't scan okay same thing here I had deleted a bunch of stuff opposite still left with the stuff these are the stuff that she didn't actually scan um and then in one of the transactions this is just discounts that she gave out under ringing and once again items that were deleted versus items that she just didn't scan and in this transaction in particular she basically scanned the same 49 cent uh skew here for random items or whatnot these are all of the items that um these are all of the items that she ended up U putting in the bag but as you can see everything's like 49 and it's the same thing um and then once again this is another transaction item deletes these are all the items that were not the cashier believed her scheme was foolproof managing to steal over $1,290 little did she know that her transactions were being tracked and the cameras had captured her every move once again item deletes um this item is deleted and then wean highlighted yeah the item that's deleted is highlighted and then wean under um a lower item so more under ringing and then this is another undering where she gave a 50% discount on this under ringing and then this is refund fraud plus item delete so she uh this is a return

me a court date or something what's what I mean did you need money or were you what was going on I let to do walk out with all stuff yeah you told me about that I think it was like $300 something right the suspect is surprisingly Cooperative openly revealing all the details about how she stole from the store cash up okay what happened with the cash up walk me through that I did like $200 200 how many separate transactions you do what like did you cuz there's a couple different there a Green Dot is a spin wheell oh yeah SP take my back spin whe 200 okay and then you did the Green Dot and then what's this what is that valid direct there another transition for like $200 on the 14 on the cash app cash app how does that work like with I'm not familiar with cash app app so is it just a app you scan the card and it goes okay and it just goes and your phone so you would just you would just load it however much you want it and then you just scan it and then go into your account mhm okay and then as far as the um as far as the different times where you let the person walk out did you know the person or how did that work out no I don't know I just use a friend like just whenever you get par got you so they just ring up a bunch of stuff and then how does it work to just walk out or it just r with some stuff I walked out okay so the other one was trying like you know it was a boy that knew me and he he was getting some stuff and I said no then he still okay all right when that was on one occasion right mhm okay did you know at any point that what you doing wrong I mean did you think about it or yeah that's why I put it that's why I stopped it this your job BR I mean it's you know that's how you make your money you know that that cash app scan that's temporary you know that 200 then that's going to obviously you going to hold it over your head that one day they might catch me you know ain't nothing like a steady paycheck when you getting your money the right way you think they do um let me ask I think other guy was good let me see while the suspect expresses remorse at being caught stealing and despite her cooperating the amount she stole is a felony amount she she was she wrote a statement as well she um your uncle's out there too she a military what Uncle your uncle I don't know he said he was your uncle yeah so this is the way it works all right and it's totally in their hands but they're want to uh file charges okay because of the amount all right it will be consider Grand Theft all right and it's a felony so youd have to be taken in so Gateway in Congress northbound lane you 36y old female want to be checked out you would have to be obviously taken to the county jail and the rain and stuff like that only because of the M okay at this point uh I don't know I don't really know how the bonds and stuff works you know sometime you may get out on or sometimes you might have to go see a judge the next day I'm not sure I mean you don't really have a record so I mean you may be able to just bond out today tonight yeah so hope so I'm not she's a she's never been she's not has no prior so probably be withheld and just pay restitution and go to the my grand the uh the program so mhm you'll be uh you'll be okay yeah I just don't like so all right unforunately that's what my B said so I can't go against them I got all your information you got a card everything I no I don't I'll put yeah but actually put on a blank piece of paper do I have to go down to the police station it takes time yeah that's where we process and do everything meop this
