Here are five cases when cops catch shoplifters acting dumb and innocent outside Walmart and other stores. Number five, bold woman tries stealing in front of the manager and learns why that's a bad idea. On July 18th, 2025, officers in Illinois were dispatched to a gas station after staff reported a woman attempting to shoplift right in front of them. When the authorities arrived, the suspect was still there, sitting just outside the store. Here's how the encounter unfolded. >> I never did. I was allowed. >> What's that? Is your name Jas? Is your name Jasmine? >> Yeah. >> All right. Don't go nowhere. Hello. >> What's going on out here? >> Bro, that girl, >> yeah, >> she's outside. >> She's come inside and she stole the things. >> She's stealing things today. >> Yeah.

She does have she does have warrants out of uh Cleveland for jaywalk for j Yeah, for jaywalking, but she's banned from here. So, we're going to 13 and we'll figure out if they're going to if they want to sign charges or not. >> In addition to the current complaint, officers learned that the woman had already been banned from the store. This incident only adds to her growing list of run-ins with the location. And based on her attitude, she's still not interested in cooperating. >> Hi, Jasmine. >> What's that? >> I don't know how to. >> I said, "Okay." >> Can you do me a favor? >> Can you stand up for me? Can you stand up for me? By the time you're going to be under arrest, okay? >> Why? >> Cuz you are banned from here. >> No, I'm not. >> In our system, you are banned from here.

So, but if we come back here and she's here again, you have to be willing to sign the charges. Obviously, you guys work here, so we can sign charges on your behalf, but you you guys would want charges to be signed. Does that does that make sense? >> Okay. >> Do you guys want charges sign for >> just want to go? >> No, perfectly.

You know who left it? Murder. Then I found out the truth. She the one ate my number. >> With the suspect still on site, officers speak to the store owner to confirm whether he's prepared to pursue charges and complete the required forms. >> Hello. >> Yes, sir. >> How you doing? >> Good, sir.

Like the one right there and the others? Oh no. Out with Okay. All right. Well, thanks for being Is that your kid? Them both of them. Both of them. Everyone knows there's another one. Oh, wow.

Do you know her last name? >> Okay. Do she middle? I don't know. Maybe. I have no idea. Okay. Do you know her birthday? >> I think. >> Okay. Gotcha. All right. Give me a second. What just can Can you give me a second? The plan works. Almost immediately, the suspect starts talking, admitting that there were actually three people involved in the theft. And she's also quick to shift the blame. >> Yes. So, she said like, "Hey, I'm just going to be honest with you." So, I'm just driving. I did give them some merchandise, but they're they're the ones that took the stuff. Um, it's her along with the other boys. She's like here. Yeah, she's she's wearing like a a blue. >> Okay. 95. >> Yeah, they're all >> 95. All right. >> Oh, yeah. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Where's the warrant on? >> I don't have anymore. The warrant I had, baby. I did. >> Where at? >> Illinois. >> Yeah. Facebook. >> Yeah. What was that? >> Say >> I did say. >> Cover your feet for me. >> Thank you. tell you to get out of the car. >> Adding to the weight of the situation, one of the suspects has a child waiting in the car, watching the entire encounter unfold. >> You can't you got to stay there. >> Go to local for me. You can't get out, baby. >> Got to wait a little bit. >> You got to wait. Okay. >> You got to wait. Okay. Just sit right there. Don't cry. It's okay. Don't cry. It's okay. Why you crying?

I'm so mad. >> I don't know. I was I thought I was being so kind, I guess. All right. So, I just got to search to make sure you don't have any weapons on you. You could keep talking to your kid. I just, you know, just for our safety. The officer prepares for transport with both suspects now in custody. What comes next depends on how the charges are sorted out at the station. in their car seats. He's going to drive your car to our station so we don't have to take them out of their car seats. But once we get to our station, your car is going to get towed cuz it was used in commission of a retail theft. We'll get both car seats out for you. We'll have both kids with us. They're not going to leave our side. You have to make smarter decisions, right? I mean, think about it. Do you think I showed up like we all just showed up on your stop just cuz she wasn't in the car seat? >> I know. Is this one of y'all's phones? >> That's my baby play phone. >> Did y'all see the other girl? >> Yeah. >> Just take it all the way off. >> Oh, you can't. >> Yeah. That's why I was like, >> I got a question. Yeah. Go ahead. >> How much do it cost to get my car? Uh, >> okay. Can you hold up like this? >> How much do it cost to get a cab tow? >> The tow is a $500 administrative fee at the station and then checking how much that is. >> Okay. The most important part is like make sure you get it out as soon as possible cuz Oh, sorry. Cuz I don't like that at the end of the day. So, I'm just going to check this. Can you scooch a little bit more? Sorry. I I literally cannot get into you. Can you separate your people? >> Are you stolen? >> Are these stolen? >> Yeah. Okay, we'll we'll take them off. And uh >> What about these ones? >> No, they have my right. >> Okay, so just these ones are stolen. >> Okay. >> With everything documented and both suspects in custody, the officers wrap up the scene and prepare for transport. We're going to need those. >> Yeah, she said the green ones are alos. >> Okay. >> Okay. Thank you. >> One second. >> I don't know. Well, can we can we can I go now? >> Yes. >> Take her back out. >> Okay. Thank you. >> You just put that in the pocket. You You put that in here. Sure. You put in his diaper bag. Okay. >> I think you got his diaper bag. Take the stuff out. Where's the diaper bag? >> His diaper bag in there. >> You can put the purse inside his diaper bag. >> Um, so he's going to drive a car basically right behind you guys, but it's going to get towed from our station. >> But I can go to the tow. >> Yeah. Pay us the $500 administration fee and then Yes, you can go to the Toyota. going to >> careful. >> I'll talk to the officers. I can't promise you anything, but I'll see what I can do with you to hopefully get you released. Again, I don't take my word. I I don't have control over what happens. Okay. All I could do is ask. Okay. >> Even if they say you walked out with her, >> maybe you can talk to them and see what you can do. Just be honest with them and then you've been honest with me. So, I'll tell them out with anything. But once you see >> I got you out. >> Yep. I'll let them know. If it was me, >> I I could repeat, but I don't know what they're going to say. Okay. >> The case closes with both suspects facing retail theft charges. Number two, when a shoplifter won't admit the obvious. On April 16th, 2025, officers responded to a Dillards after store staff reported a woman attempting to remove tags from clothing before concealing the items. Here's what happened once officers got to the scene. >> So, this is the deal. She concealed over $1,000 worth of stuff in a bag. She taking it all out when she was approved. The problem is is we weren't just trying to be nice and going to get all our stuff back, but we're still missing items and she's acting like I mean she works here or something. So, and so maybe you can help us get her items back. >> Hello. >> Hi. How are you? >> Good. How are you? >> I'm good. >> Do you have a driver's license with you or an ID? >> Uh, she has it. >> All right. From New York, but >> do you live down in Florida now or >> No, I live here. I grew up here and I originally lived in New York for 15 years. >> Okay. How long have you been living down here from New York? >> Okay. About 2020. >> Yeah. >> So I guess >> 1320. >> I tried on like I think seven different combinations thinking I was a small, extra small, large, medium, and a large. >> The tags fell off. She's looking for two items without tags on them and I she's asking me where they are. I don't know. I can look for her. I offered to pay for the two for the inconvenience. I know they came off. She said they don't come off when you try them on. >> I mean, we heard in the fitting room like ripping. >> No, >> I mean these don't come off easily. This is like a whole >> May I demonstrate? Actually, it's it's quite easy. >> I never don't rip any more rip any tags off. >> No, just set it down. Set it down. Just put the tag in while you're dressing. >> Yeah. >> So, you already missing these two. >> It's We have a picture of it. I'll show you. >> I have a picture of it here. >> This is >> Is it a top and a bottom? >> We scanned the tags and this is what came up. It's the top and the bottom. >> Okay. >> So, almost. >> Yeah. except for it's mediums and that's street. >> Despite multiple employees saying otherwise, the woman continues to claim she did nothing wrong. But at this point, it's clear she's the only one in the room who believes that. I guess >> um she put over $1,000 worth of stuff in a bag in the fitting room. Is that correct? and she was callers. >> When they stopped her, they stopped her when she was leaving. She took everything out of the bag, but they're missing. >> Well, I asked her, she had if I could look through her bag, and then she said that there's it was in the fitting room. Then she went in the fitting room, shut the door, and started taking the items out of her bag and left her there, >> but we can't find it. Yeah, I didn't know. I was in the store in her car leaving. She took my ID and then she came out and said that she's new and doesn't know anything. That's not what she said >> to me. That's not what she said. >> Oh, so they really just wanted to get their stuff back, but they're missing their stuff. >> Yeah. So, >> that's where we're at right now. >> Did you throw them on? >> Did I throw them away? No. >> Throw them on. Like, >> you have them on. >> No, I don't. And I don't have any. I offered to >> She said these just said these just fell off. >> They're very easy to fall off. And so there's I know that there's like nine pairs of each at the bottom. I guarantee you there's at least two with those. >> There's not I ma'am I looked before we wasted your time because there our work looking she either ditched them somewhere or where they can't be found or she's wearing them. Those are the only two options. There's no other option. >> Do you mind if I look in your bag? >> I I don't I do mind but it's like cuz Oh my god. She already looks in my bag. >> Okay. Do you mind if I look in the bag? Do you mind if I search the bag? >> Yeah. >> Sorry. Officers were hoping for cooperation, but instead the woman just keeps defending herself, repeating the same claims and refusing to acknowledge what's already clear. >> Do you understand? They're trying to work with you and just get their stuff done. >> Yes. And I would I told them I would I mean, how can I go look? I thing is I went in twice to the dressing room and the first time it was a younger girl that helped me and I gave everything back and that was when those tags fell off. So they were on the hangers without the tags. I put the tags in my bag. I just didn't want to say sorry these fell off blah blah blah. So when I went into the dressing room to get rid of everything and leave those I put outside with the flaw paddings that I had normal like the tags. >> Yeah. >> It's not normal. It's abnormal and I shouldn't have done it. >> There's like no reason for any of this. >> Okay. Are you willing to to to show me if you have it on or not? >> My clothes and my undergarments. >> Yeah. Well, I mean, even if she went like this and showed us her bra >> thing, we'd know that whether it's a swimsuit. >> No, >> no, I don't want to get naked. No, I don't want to get naked. >> Get naked. >> I'll You want to see mine? I mean, I'll show you. It's a strap. >> Okay. >> I mean, we'll step on it if she wants better privacy or whatever. >> Okay. So, just >> Do you have a bra on? >> Can you be you? >> Do you have a bra? I know what she's looking for. >> It's just a regular bra like this. It's okay. >> I know what I have on. It's It's just this >> that I'm going to be. >> That's not a bathing. This is a tank a yellow tank top. A tankini. I don't have anything like this. >> I don't know. >> No, it's not. >> I don't know. I don't know. >> I can't tell. I can't tell. I just know >> those. I I'll offer to even pay like just to be if she's upset about the two. This isn't the f this isn't this isn't our first rodeo. So we know our we know our our our laws and what we need to do. She >> this isn't the first time they've asked and it won't be the last. Store employees once again urge her to turn over the merchandise she tried to conceal. >> We can press charges on everything that you conceal which is a felony charge in the state of Florida. It's over $1,000 and you will go to jail. Alls I'm saying, ma'am, very kindly and nicely is we want our stuff back. Tell me and where you ditched them. Save all these people's nice time. We will we will trespass you from the store and we never have to see each other again. You can't go into another dealers for seven years. >> And it's it it's that simple. Or we she has to take out and take put your handcuffs on, walk you out the store, and you have to go to jail. I Okay, I can I go with you and her down the entire time to please tell me the truth. I have them in person. >> They're going to be on a hanger in one of three spots or on the floor. >> All right. By the dresses. That's it. All right. Let's go. >> I'm going to be mad. >> She's going to walk. So, if you'all want to escort her as well >> to show them where she thinks it is. So, >> she just showed a yellow strap. So, >> are these the same tags? >> Are these the tags? >> Yes. >> Yeah. Okay. >> They're all We've already checked. Every one of them have tags on it. >> Check everyone. We've done our own one. Hold on. I'll just I know that it's not. That's There's another place, too. Even if she returns like you put us in a difficult position if you're not willing to press charges. >> I'm willing to pay for these two things. If you if I cannot find them, I will find them. I just know it cuz I at least two mediums. >> The suspect continues to stall, unable to show where the merchandise was hidden. Officers have given her every chance, but their patience is wearing thin. >> Yeah. >> Okay. It doesn't look like it's here at all. >> It was right over here. >> Similar. Yeah. I mean, it was yellow, but I Yeah, I can't. We couldn't. >> We can arrest her for all she'll get, >> but at the end of the day, I have her running around the store. This is not a safe environment. We're just going to press >> here. >> The decision's been made. She's heading to the station, but the moment charges are mentioned, she backtracks, trying to talk her way out of the current charges. >> Am I going to see that woman again? Like, is it just us from now on? Or is it that woman that >> I don't know if she's going to come back in here or not? Why? >> Is there any way she can't? And I can make it maybe easier on you guys. It's her store. So, >> I know. I just There's a part of me that just wants to do it. Not here because >> I mean once we finish the paperwork, we'll get you out of here. >> Well, what I'm saying is if the paperwork involves getting more items, which I may or may not have on, I'd rather just >> rather you guys >> give them to you >> the items back right now. >> Do you have them? >> Yeah. And I just don't want to do it in front of her. So, it's up to if I don't see her again, I'll give it to you now somehow. I mean, go to the bathroom, whatever it is. But if she's going to be involved more, I don't want to do it here. >> I just don't. So, whatever that I don't want to see her, she's been absolutely great. Like, you made it hard. >> So, she just told me that she does have items on and she wants to take them off now and return them, but it's up to you. If it's easier for you guys to >> I mean it will be easier for us. >> I don't mind getting them and then being right in here. I don't No. I can do it all with her right now. >> Yeah. So you're okay with doing it in here? >> We'll all be she'll be in here% >> and the door will not be locked but it'll be >> fine. Yeah. Just I just not see this woman but she isn't. >> That's all. >> Okay. >> 100% easy. We can we can do that. >> One of you guys just stand right there >> and I'll let you know. >> Okay. You I have an I have underwear on as well. So if you just My shoulders are >> So you just want to pull those down. >> Mhm. >> Okay. It's just my shoulders. >> Give me one sec. >> The confession comes too late to make a difference. The officer tightens her restraints and leads her to the waiting unit outside. >> I'm going to I'm going to uncuff you long enough to get everything off. Don't do anything crazy. >> First one is going to be >> cuz they're right outside the door. >> Hold on one second. >> 5650 break. >> Hold on. Hold on. Don't pull your hand. Let me get it off from around your hand. >> Second one is going to be Mike 616 212. >> Yeah. I'm going to take it off and then I'll put them back on. >> 1 0 0 probably one of the tags that was on the table. >> And you had underwear on there. >> Yeah, I do. You want to see any? >> Okay. >> I'm just going to let them know that you did. Hold >> on. I have top. >> I think at least more than one. This is totally like just like the it's not normal. I'm going to do this. Not normal. My day has not been like like worst day ever. So, this is this is the dumbest thing I could have done. I have my sports bra in my bag that I'm sure I can't wear. >> They're They're going to take it from you anyway. So, they're going to give you give you clothes to wear. >> I just keep my jacket on. >> Yeah, keep your shirt on. >> So, that has a tag on it. That has a tag on it. >> And no more bottoms. Just the one bottoms. Not You don't have the bottoms to this one. >> I don't have it. No, I don't have anything else. I'm >> at this point. It doesn't matter what else she says. The outcome is set and now it's out of her hands. It was two totally different scenarios and everything was like normal. Talked to me. I said, "Yeah, I'm really sorry." She goes, "I'll walk you out." And I gave it to her. Came down the other. And the other woman just screamed and came out and yelled, "Dragg me back in all the security and all this stuff." She's saying, "Where is this?" And I said, "To go to go." It was just outrageous. It was just like I just froze out >> and waited for you guys. And then, you know, I I don't have any other priors and I don't I don't know what it even means to go to jail. Um or how to get out. I do take medication. I'm just scared of like, you know, just being overnight and stuff, but um I do have like family here and um >> yeah, I'm sure that they'll write down a number for you out of your phone before they before they put it away. All >> right, sounds good. Okay. I didn't I wanted to not have that stuff on me, but I actually forgot I was dressing her. It's just that woman she had a nerve that was just so I just I was going to wait till I got to jail, but I just knew that you guys have so much paperwork and I felt bad. You know, you were saying >> aside from being trespassed from Dillards for 7 years, the woman was charged with retail theft over $750. Number one, shoplifter gets abandoned by her accompllices. On April 8th, 2025, police responded to a call from Walmart about a shoplifting incident involving three individuals. When officers got there, two had already taken off, leaving one suspect behind to answer for what they all did. This is what happened next. >> All right, I'm done running out. So, whatever you got to do, Tammy, you're good. >> Understood. So, I I called um my sergeant of the detectives and I was explaining the situation. Okay. Not the theft issue, the other issues that you're currently being stuck in the middle of. Okay. I at least wanted him to be in the loops. That way, we can start trying to help you any way we can. Okay. The theft issue that we're talking about is something that you're going to have to deal with as an individual. Okay. But I'm going to work with you as much as I can on everything and um we're going to try to figure out what this dude's deal is. Okay. >> My friends were heading here to get me. Um I don't know if they're here or not. Okay. They were on my phone, >> but I didn't know if they showed up or not. >> I have no idea. >> Memorial. And I'm leaving. I'm going to get ready if my kids go home or >> Okay. >> Whatever. Exactly. Wait four or five hours. >> Okay. What I'm going to tell you is you are going to jail for the theft. Okay. I will let you reach out to your friends and let them know so they're not worried sick about you and you don't have to waste a jail phone call on reaching out to them. Okay? that we can call somebody that can either help you or an attorney or something like that. Okay. Okay. Is this phone ever going to be good for you >> in the next couple months? The reason I'm asking is cuz the detectors are probably trying to reach out to you to help you. So, I want to make sure it's a good one. Okay. And this address, what city is that in? Is that okay? >> Do you know my bail will be >> with you being an out oftowner? Bail is going to be 5,000. They're 10%. Cuz a theft is a misdemeanor of the first degree and the bonds are standard. Theft total $788.32 before tax. And that doesn't include the cost of what Amber's accompllices may have taken. >> Now, that being said, it's Tuesday. They just had initial appearances in court today. They might be able to get you in sooner, so you might get your bond lowered or something like that. It's up to the judge. I'm not going to charge you with having bubble. You're very honest and forthcoming on that. But hey, bro, I'm going be honest with you. It It's comes down to the dollar amount. If somebody comes in here and steals 50 bucks worth of food or something, they get a summon and they got to go to court. We're talking it wind up being 800 I'm sorry $788.32 is is what the value is for pre-tax on all this stuff. That's a lot of money. A lot of money. And Amber, I wish you would have called. If you felt like somebody forced you to come in here and take a PlayStation 5, this would have been a significantly different conversation if you called the police and said, "This is what happened to me. I'm abandoned here. I need help." And then this conversation would very likely be so different. But instead, you held on to this, for lack of a better term, PlayStation for him after he abandoned you >> and we we would have never known who you were. You would have left here and we would have tried to figure out who you were on this video. And maybe we did, maybe we didn't. Maybe you would have had a warrant in a month. I don't know. But instead, you you didn't call. You sat and waited and waited and waited. >> And I do feel for you. I really do. I'm not just saying that, but you got yourself in a heck of a spot here. Now, Patrolman Fe, I don't know if he explained to you when he talked to you in my back seat. One of the things that he specializes in is human trafficking. >> The officer speaks gently, reminding Amber that if she's being pressured or forced into anything, now's the time to speak up. While that conversation plays out, loss prevention prepares the trespass paperwork. >> I know that you're saying that the answer is no. And I'm going to be honest with you, I don't 100% believe you. I think this Christopher Troll guy is doing something like that, at least similar to you. And what I would encourage you to do is think really hard on it. And if there's something you want to talk more about, ask for Fe. He has the resources and the knowhow to help you get out of that. Okay? Okay. >> 225. Good. >> So, I'm just going to go over. So, Amber, we are going to be trespassing from all Walmart locations. I think includes parking lots. Um, I understand the situation that you were in. Um, but Walmart's policy is clear on that. >> Um, >> subject matching, >> but forever, but I believe the minimum is 2 years. That's right. But it might come up. >> Is that your legal name? >> That name. >> Okay. So, is that do you When's the last time you got a driver's license or ID? >> When I get in trouble, >> it's so it's not >> my name. My first married name. Okay. >> I was just clarifying with Miss and yes, her legal name is Amber. >> Sign under the witness. >> With the scene under control, officers and store staff begin reviewing surveillance footage, gathering clips of Amber and the two suspects who managed to escape. >> Did you copy that? Yeah, it's that's her legal name according to the state. >> Go ahead. >> Can you get a time frame of when they came into town >> about 3:30, right? Right around 15:30. What was the vehicle again? >> You have it still on now. What kind of car was it again? >> Blue Honda CRV, I think. >> Okay. And it's going to be the blue Honda CRV. We were able to confirm with Mr. previous thefts. That looks more like a Ford Escape. Okay. >> Okay. >> You guys saw >> right 292. Can you look up Mr. and see if he has any Honda SUVs in his name and what the signal say. Please >> Oh, Morgan. Disregard. It's going to be under his girlfriend's name, which is a If you can have any luck with that, she should be out of the Kashakan area as well. Same age. After reviewing the footage and gathering witness input, the officers and LP staff confirmed the vehicle involved was an old blue Honda CRV. >> Yeah, you see the front of it says CRV. Yep. That's an old CRV. >> I was like, is that a GMC Jimmy? It's about the same range that everybody knows. 25 to 13. We have the video of the vehicle. It's going to be late 90s, early 2000s model, dark blue in color. Once he's done printing off all his information there, we're going to go. Okay. Excuse me. that she's associated with him. >> Yeah. >> Oh, it's because I told >> Sorry, my brains are fried at this point. >> Understood. >> Do you have any idea how many packs of cards he took? >> No. Is it a lot? Okay. >> 13 to 25. What was the girlfriend's name? The girlfriend and the vehicle is registered to a The store's clear surveillance footage reveals what the other two managed to steal. The two managed to get away with boxes of trading cards valued at $50 to $60 each. >> Four. >> How many? >> Four of them. You think those are like $30 a pop? No, those might be $60 boxes. I can go I go on >> the green box. >> Green and blue. Did he come back? >> Did he just go steal the cars once? >> I have no idea. >> Don't know. Okay. He's less of a hurry. So, if you want when you come back, just get me a packet on the cards, too, cuz I'll send a warning for that as well. >> All right. I don't anticipate seeing him anytime soon. So, at your leisure, just let us know. >> Tomorrow, >> I'll just No, >> I'll probably work on it tomorrow if I have time. >> That's fine. I'm here all weekend, so and someone else can pick it up for me, too. So, >> no biggie. >> Take the small With everything documented, store staff begin finalizing the paperwork to close out their end of the case. How much? >> $60. >> $50 each. >> $40. >> Okay. And he for sure didn't pay, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Thanks, man. >> Is that everything from you guys? >> You. >> All right. >> Thank you. >> Thank you guys. 25 chance. In the end, officers don't have much to go on. Aside from security footage and a vehicle description, Amber's accompllices are still unidentified. >> Go ahead. Relax. >> Unable to locate a nothing in house, nothing through leads. Contacted the shock. They don't have a record of anyone by that name. >> Clear. I just forgot. See what it's on Facebook. We'll locate it. I'll find her. All right. >> Thank you guys for the description. >> Have you ever actually seen? >> Yes. She's kind of like my build. >> She got really long curly hair. >> Okay. >> Um about how old is she? >> Um I'd say about 30 32 maybe. Okay. >> She's a little bit older than Chris. A little bit younger than me. >> Okay. 13's going to be a similar build as my 21 with long curly hair. Early 30s. >> Amber was ultimately charged with retail theft. What's your verdict? Let me know in the comments and I'll see you in the next video. As always, stay safe out there, folks.
