they were supposed to stock the shelves but these employees tried to stock their pockets instead and it backfired big time here are five instances when Walmart employees get caught stealing number five 18-year-old employee caught changing prices to steal albums at work in this video officers respond to a call about an 18-year-old employee caught stealing while at work watch as the store's loss prevention team presents the evidence to the officers different days she did it she's just P nickel and Diamond you know what I'm saying how do she go about it self checkouts she's under ringing she'll hold you want to see some of the video yeah all right she'll hold you know multiple items in her hands and only hit one or two of them they got her back in the spark room right now which is in here so she's back there now yeah she's behind so she's already been confronted about this what does she have to say about it I have no idea they got her in there now they just wanted me to go ahead and get you guys up here I think they're want to leave as soon they the clock well they don't really go up the [Laughter] [Music] clock all right these are all different days another [Music] [Music] that thing is she wants to go in the military but [Music] hard to get that one SC yeah so she never scanned the other one you notice she put that one on top of it they're all three going go in the bag so it's that same stuff like that on every [Music] stop this is I think [Music] colle the store's loss prevention team reports that the woman figured out a way to override the system and change the merch merise price to a lower amount this receipt has every day on it every day yeah and what what we did is like these are the things she stole you see what I'm saying okay so it's got the description up top what it is French style you'll see it on here it's over here and then there's a total receipt which he's got in his hand for everything and then the how much is that's everything that that's everything she stole yeah 100 we don't do the tax so 105 1054 all them different St and that's what you mounted to y That's What say she's just NL going down it but you know yeah that's how it starts and then she was starting to override stuff so so you want me to go back there and see if they're ready for you guys all right I'll be can I yeah I'll let you know if they move all right how do this city work them when they had multiple days I think it was just all one so one Rec all the items on that yeah the county has been we've always had to do every single day is a different ex that's what I thought was it was going to be like she's going to get hit with so like we would need a receipt for each incident and we would need the footage of each incident um because essentially we have to charge her Char [Music] so the woman had no idea that the store surveillance cameras were capturing her actions giving the Lost prevention team solid evidence of everything she stole unless the total Grand weon do what we have the receipt for each incident uhhuh um that equals out the total but I can equal out the total in here if I need to that's the full total yeah this is just the receipt of what was missed right yeah so if we could just get a total for each day yeah yeah and you need a separate video for each one yep cuz essentially you got to write there should be how many days was there so 5 26 5 AP the officer the officer is on his way yeah James is no like he's here I'll send them back okay all right all right she's ready so yeah however many days it is is how many P you'd have to generate unless it's on the same day and she doesn't leave yeah and I can get you the receipt or the the amounts as well it take a long time to get or I don't mind doing itob spent a lot of time here watch as the officers question the 18-year-old suspect do you have an ID with you hosan um no I have a state ID you have a state ID ni yeah yeah when did you start working at Walmart year

before their arrival the store's loss prevention team had already confronted the woman and she had agreed to write a statement as the officers wait for more information about the woman they question her about her actions back to you you could also do a Qi for prior that predictions call what can you tell us about what happened I've done some price of r no I've not done a lot but I've done some and I've done a few scan too okay so cuz I don't work for Walmart can you just explain how you override the price um you scan the badge and then hit there's like thing like dots and then you like put pice F and then you pick the mount and then you hit one of the options what items was it that you usually take um some albums music albums music albums okay why those specifically cuz those ones well

the woman placing boxes of unpaid merchandise near the exit before clocking out yet when asked about them she maintains she paid for these items despite clear proof that she didn't do you do this regularly since you started working here no okay well this is $129 so this is a 29 f for this pulled video she said you didn't were $3 I paid for them where did you pay for them at because she she's pulled video and said you didn't pay for any of that pH I paid on the online pay thing okay I I don't even know how you do that you got to take them to a register you can't you got to go to a register what do you mean online pay there's no way to scan the app on your phone you still have to go to a register to do yeah you got to do that to register okay let's just go to the next one this day just

well what where's the receipt from today how much is it going to be today so the bumper car in that today well here's here's my problem if if you did it today I mean and you did the same thing taking empty boxes out the other days none of those had the guy in automotive helped me put the the empty boxes in my car the other day I don't know his name they were just empty boxes I swear now the bumper car today yeah no so when we watch back video we're not going to find you putting anything in these boxes I mean I don't think so I mean I don't know is there anything else you've taken besides

they saw you putting a pair of underwear in your purse underwear something like that I didn't even we don't even get we can't even bring a purse in you kid it was right where you yeah I have no idea got work to your despite her apologies and apparent remorse Britney continues to deny the full extent of what she stole and I don't know your name you want me to put my name as a witness I'm sorry or is that y'all I will never ever so you did it yesterday and you did it today but you said all those other days you didn't take anything and those were all empty boxes yes so I just want to ask you one thing so if you had if you had to pay back Walmart how much do you think that it would be if you can just write that amount down there how much do you think would be um how much do you think total you took and here look I'm going to tell you I'm going to tell you $99 comt card look and here's the thing too you know we're going to go back and review video are we going to go back through video and find you putting stuff in those boxes if you've done it more than once and you can see we have great video she's been working on it of course they they haven't had time to review every video but all she has to do is sitting here if she needs to and she can sit all day and review video are we going to find any more cases of you doing this the more honest you are now the less hard it's going to be on because I don't want to let I don't want to have to take a whole bunch of arrest warrants on you that you don't know about so you get pulled over with your kids in the car and get taken to jail yeah I don't want to go to jail with have you done this any other time besides today and yesterday the I know the pillows I paid for how did you pay for the pillows I paid for them I put them back there and I paid for them later where at a register cuz that's the only way you so you walk through a register what's in this box underneath that was yesterday what's in this box nothing that box is still in my car there's nothing in there I swear to God where is it in your car cuz I just went and looked in your car in the the trunk oh so why are you taking a bunch of boxes cuz I was putting my Christmas stuff in them what aboute maker what started with Britney stealing small merchandise soon escalated over the weeks to larger items including Electronics like a PS4 camera a controller and a coffee maker maker mhm no you didn't pay for it no okay what else is in this bag behind it I have no idea so you didn't pay for the coffee maker no okay so that's another item this cloth in this bag with elf thing I know it's really hard to see the day with the elf ladder the the no not that wasn't elf ladder the Christmas tree I paid for you can ask Tyler with that we'll go back and check the elf ladder or it say I climb I think it's elf climbing the ladder um I don't know they're $59 yeah did you pay for it or not no not that what about that what's said I don't one day now that might have been the day I had a t-shirt that I had took off at work and a c so didn't pay for the elf ladder no okay the with the Christmas tree we're not even going to talk about the Christmas tree we'll I'll confirm that later on what about in this box that box and bad there was nothing in that box the back so what about the the socks was those $3 socks okay okay so what about the controller from electronics that you got out of the case you went and ask somebody for a keys knows on your top stop C there's a controller and a PS PS5 camera it's a little interactive camera for your play yeah I know what you're well I don't really know what you're talking about but I think yeah did you pay for those no one day somebody took that off my card I had was getting it for a customer but you there was a game there was a game too there was like six games or like movies and stuff I P evpm and show you I'm telling you we have really good cameras I'm I'm seeing how honest you're going to be to see what I'm going to charge you with cuz we have we have the power of charging per case okay so now begins a long ordeal as the store's loss prevention team and the officer worked to get Britney to come clean about everything she stole like I said be more honest that's why we just want you to be honest so we can figure all this out because I mean you're a stalker right why would you be getting video game stuff one day I helped someone when there was nobody in the electronics but you had somebody else open it but you took the stuff and put it on your car did you take that video game controller home the video controll the PS5 yes yeah okay so that you didn't pay for that no but the game the game that she's talking about I that was for a customer that they got it okay I got you but the controller you took and what about the camera thing yes that you took that what the heck November 5th at 1530 but I swear the Christmas tree in those box those boxes are any besides the bumper car so so far we got the bumper car thing and then we got the coffee maker we got the video game stuff are you stealing these for Christmas presents what your do why are you doing it is what I'm getting at I'm just having a hard time with my three kids but that doesn't make it right well I understand how old are your kids eight six and four only a month into her job Britney began engaging in repeated thefts of store merchandise yeah now some of that stuff is up there already on the top side part okay but she says it looks like you walk around and select that stuff while while you're stocking throughout the day well on my break but then do you later put that stuff in the boxes no what do you do with it most time it gets left on the C I got you like the cars back there now it's slapp with boxes and all that how long have you worked here not long like a month where did you work before this I worked at the other Walmart on West Side doing online grocery and then I did home healthare [Applause] [Music] [Applause] here at Cosmetics um I got to get the soap and stuff from yesterday well you can worry about all that later I know I just got to remind myself anything like she was talking about in health and beauty maybe cosmetic [Applause] make like nails nails that would be the only thing if I did but I don't think I did as the officer waits for the store's lost prevention staff to compile all evidence the officer informs Britney about what would happen to her next yeah I don't know how much that I had a Burgery shirt in a pink cup well here's what we're going to do okay okay do you have somebody that can take care of your kids um not really no you're going to have to all right call somebody cuz you're going to go to jail today okay because here's what I can't let you go considering you've done this four or five other times since you're going to go to jail today what I'm going to do is when the other charges are ready I'll either give you citations for those or I'll just have them have them add to your charges so you get so you get um charged with everything at once you see what I'm saying so you don't have to go back to jail cuz really if I wanted to be an uh for lack of a better word I could just take warrants on you for all the new stuff you've been somewhat Cooperative so I'm not going to make you have to go back to jail on all the rest but you're going to jail today cuz I can't let somebody just get off who's been doing this every single day so call somebody about to get your kids um and what'll probably happen is you'll go to jail and they'll o you out you'll probably be in a couple of hours that's what I was wondering how I I don't even think they're going to make you pay a bond since you never had any history they'll let you write out it's called an unsecured judicial release but I at least need to get you in there and fingerprinted so you're in the system since it's been a pattern but you'll probably be out in a couple hours without even having to pay but right now what if I don't you will they let everybody out no I'm talking about do I need to um cuz I can call someone to have get the bond well they I'm telling you you don't even have to pay a bond it you could get that set up but they're letting people out for certain crimes right now like shop how long do you think I'll be probably a couple maybe an hour maybe two hours just depends on how busy they are but you'll be out soon um as soon as you get there confirm with them but I look at the jail booking every day for this charge they're just going to kick you right out without a bond even being required but call somebody about getting your kids before the patrol officer gets there cuz you're not going to be able to pick them up from after school and like I said since you've been Cooperative taking into account the woman's circumstances as a mother providing for her children the officer and the store decide on a single warrant instead of pursuing multiple theft charges I'm going to take a bunch more warrants on you as soon as she can get this done I'll just add it all together since you'll already be in the system for the one when and you can never do this in Athens again because I know every body and if I ever see video of it I'll be like oh I know her so but just get your kid [Music] situation I guess I can start on myport scoot over a little more cuz I got to jump on that Ben thank you got it squared away I think so if it's just going to be a couple hours yeah it should be but I mean didn't you say they get out of after school yeah well is somebody going to pick them up from after school yeah somebody's going to pick them up for after school that's I was trying to tell them i' be home you should and look you're barred from here but if you come back just to get your car that's understandable so you can come back and drive your car out of the lot but other than that don't come back they're not going to try to prosecute you just for picking your car up and even if they wanted to I wouldn't do anything with that I throw all this stuff away I mean if you want to it's your stuff I mean I don't want to carry that to the jail considering your circumstances the officer opts for an unsecured judicial release for Britney so let's see I'll get your phone number in a minute so I have that in case I need to meet with you for any reason so let me get this done let's see 15 53 15 53 [Applause] 15 yeah what you'll get is what's called an unsecured judicial release and they'll just let you go as long as you'll show up for court if you won't have to to pay a bond so like when I've never been to jail at all so you got to go get fingerprinted and booked in and they'll make you sign paperwork and they'll let you out pretty much so like you have to take a shower and all that stuff no this isn't the movies like TV they're not going to throw the delower on you you'll go you'll go into the booking area they'll fingerprint you they'll photograph you no you don't have to shower I don't even think they make you shower if they they will ask you questions you haven't been you don't have symptoms right huh you don't have symptoms or anything right no I've had just recently well you're over it so good let's see your court date will be December 20th at and by then I should have all these other charges I'll probably just email the prosecutor and have her add this all together 09 if not I'll call you and give you citations or something I'm not going to I'll get my car later that's what I said you can just come get it that's I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get from the jail Tom well it's well I don't know that's that's a you problem I mean but you can drive down you can walk it's literally a few blocks well let me get a few pieces and what's your phone number in this incident alone Britney stole $947 worth of assorted merchandise that's weird that's how our police number starts 762 all right what was your date of birth again 726 93 can I just walk and get in the car or you got to hand I'm not going to run you got to be handcuffed here's what's going to happen I need you to transport her for me she is going to jail okay she's done this like 6 days in a row I'm just charging her with misdemeanor shoplifting but based on doing it every day she needs to go to jail I think so you can take her whenever I'll print it over there for you um then she has to handcuff you I'm sorry it's just procedure what about this stuff I'll hold on to it yeah and she'll turn it into the jail okay thank you for being cooperative I know it sucks but you can't do this we you know unfortunately we caught you I mean make better decisions mhm that's different are you married so you're a single mother what color are your eyes green I think okay Jack my pant so well she's got to check make sure you ain't got nothing hidden in there uh uh what's in your back pocket that's that's fine all right you didn't do a good job I'll have it printed off over there for you in a minute ultimately she was charged with misdemeanor theft by shoplifting do you think these people will make the right decisions in their next job let me know what you think in the comments down below and I'll see you in the next video
