So, the other one is being listed as 28. Can you go snake her? We'll put her in your car and then I'll go back inside to watch 27. >> All right. You here for a second. Can you go with me, please? >> Yes. >> Do you have any belongings or anything like that? >> No, but I have a makeup bag. >> Is that hers? >> This bag with the heart on it. That was >> That belongs to both of them? >> Right. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, so the pink bag is yours, right? And then the black one is Amelia's? And then that's your stuff right there as well? >> And then the phone is the one in my other unit. Okay. So all that stuff is hers? >> Yeah. >> Okay. You can grab your stuff. How old are you? 17. >> 10. That's my little sister. >> Um so right now, I got to place you in a vehicle for right now just cuz you're 17 and I believe you're listed as a runaway. >> She lives with She lives with her sister. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, they're they're they're trying to >> We're going to talk to them, but cuz there's two of you, we got to deal with the other part first and then >> With both teens detained, the female officer checks in with their housing manager about the incident. After all, one of the suspects has a complicated situation. >> So what I know is that they got a hot ceiling. >> Okay. >> She showed me the receipt. It's 27. I used to work loss prevention, so I kind of explained to her that I understood like they They saw them. They have them on video. And stuff. >> Did the juvenile call you? Is that how you guys got here or how did you end up here? >> Yeah, so the juvenile called. Well, actually Amelia called me. >> Fair enough. >> Um and she was saying that they were They were calling APD and so I don't know if you know Amelia like Sorry. We just got her out. She just reported it to juvenile today. And so I completely understand that what they were saying is they wanted to speak to her, right? >> Right. Oh, well, I actually haven't talked to them yet. I just didn't know. So basically when I ran the juvenile's information, she was coming back as a a runaway. >> Oh, okay. So now she's not a runaway. >> Okay. Just so that way I can get her out if need be. >> So she's in our program. I'm going to send her home with her family. So we run with So, we are responsible for So, we are responsible No, but no, but she's under CYC. >> So, she ages out at 23. >> Yeah. Interesting. Okay. >> So, she's a >> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. >> Yeah, so we're talking about both of them. >> This way, this way, this way. Thank you. Do you have a phone with you? >> No. >> No? Okay. What? That's right. Just don't smoke in here, okay? >> Do I Do I Do you have to close the door? >> I have to, yeah. >> Can I open the window? >> Huh? Yeah, of course you can. >> It turns out both juveniles were in town for a pre-trial, making this latest incident even more troubling. Listen as their housing manager explains the situation. >> They're both in the same program in the same facility. Okay. And so, how did they get here? >> So, they uh She went to pre-trial and they were uh They I dropped them off. >> Okay. >> But, I had no no idea. Because our center Yeah, cuz our center's down the street. So, I took her to pre-trial and they were going to buy uh groceries and they were going to Um so, there's a center that they go to for CYC. It's called the drop-in and then the dreams works or something. So, they go and hang out there, right? So, um they were going to come here to get snacks and go over there. Now, I what they did inside the store, I have no idea. So, then I knew that they were here. So, when she called me, um I was like, "What?" >> Do you um have the information for the pre-trial officer? >> Um no, I don't, but I can get it for you. Now, what what we really want is for her not to get arrested. >> Um okay, that's I mean, it's still a possibility, right? She committed a crime. No. >> Right, right, we understand that. >> And she's on pre-trial. >> Right, right, right. >> So, she's not supposed to be committing crimes, period, much less on pre-trial. >> Right. >> So, I mean, that's out of my hands. I'm going to do what I need to do, and if I'm going to talk to the pre-trial officer, and if we think it's best that she gets revoked from it and goes back to jail, then that's what's going to happen. Um I mean, I'm sure the pre-trial officer and the judge and everyone was very clear as what was expected of her when she was released. And if she's choosing to willingly violate that, that's on her. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Next, the female officer heads back inside to speak with the loss prevention. >> So, um can you just explain to me everything that you saw, observed, and then if I can see footage? >> Yes. So, they came in, they were called out, right? Um they were, you know, we had two females coming in with bags. I started watching them, I right away noticed Amelia, um just from the walk, stuff like that. Um they went and made their way to cosmetics. After cosmetics, Amelia selected some eyelashes and some glue. And then they walked out of cosmetics, went into home lines, and they went into a corner, and they started opening up the packaging. She gave the eyelashes to Amelia, or to, I'm sorry, to Elise. She grabbed the eyelashes, concealed it, and then Amelia got the box and threw it. And then um in that little corner, she concealed the glue. So, when we brought them in here, she said, "I didn't take anything." Um it was all my friend, la la la. When we did the pat down, they had the stuff that we observed them selecting. She was like looking around. Ah, it's her again. She threw the box right there. And then she goes back, Amelia goes back and makes sure that she like stuffs it in the back. Um so, at that point, when they go to the front, I have my partner take over camera, and then that's when I I put the packaging right back at customer service, but I went back to the floor and grabbed it, and it was empty. >> Okay. Um once we get the juvenile criminally trespassed, uh we'll release her back to your custody. We have I'm not saying that So, it's just mandatory anytime a crime is committed, we have to let the ABC know. >> Yeah, yeah, that's fine. >> Um that doesn't necessarily mean she's going to get charged with it by them, but I just have to let them know. But, once we get the criminal trespass released back into your guys' custody, and then we'll um this one obviously is going to take a little bit longer. So, yeah. >> Yeah. >> With the investigation wrapping up, officers explain what comes next for the suspects. >> Okay, ma'am. So, my name is Officer Alicia. I think I already introduced myself. Um obviously, I told you when we were in there that you were detained not free to leave. You're detained in regards to uh we have received information that the security guards from this facility had two subjects detained in regards to shoplifting, and then they were requesting our assistance, okay? Before I talk to you or ask you any questions in regards to that, I'm going to go ahead and read you your rights, okay? You have the right to stop answering at any time. Do you understand each of these rights I've explained to you? Having those rights in mind, are you comfortable talking to me about what happened today? >> I don't know. I'm too scared. >> Okay. So, no? >> It's just cuz last time they told me I would get a lawyer. >> Okay. So, we won't then we'll we'll we'll take that as a no. And then we um I won't ask any questions in regards to what's going on. Um I will be contacting your pretrial officer just to see what our next steps are going to be in regards to you. You are going to be criminally trespassed from the property um per their request. And then we also have the shoplifting portion of it as well, okay? Watch your inside. I can close this. So, you are going to be placed under arrest in regards to the shoplifting and the contributing to the delinquency of a minor, okay? >> No. Please can I talk to my parole please? I won't do anything. God. >> So, in regards to your pre-trial officer, obviously he's not here. I did talk to the supervisor, okay? The supervisor is not putting forth any type of additional criminal charges. He just has to put in a petition to the judge, and the judge will decide what happens, okay? >> No, please don't. Can we talk to him? >> Talk to who? >> The pre-trial officer. >> We can definitely try to give him a call, but that's not going to change the outcome of him today, okay? But I am more than willing to let you speak to him when we get down to the judiciary. >> The first suspect was eventually released to her custodians after receiving a trespass warning. The second suspect, however, faced criminal trespass, felony shoplifting, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Drunk shoplifter ends the night in jail. In our final case, officers apprehend a woman accused of stealing merchandise from a retail store. What happens next begins when officers make contact. >> Hey, I didn't steal anything. >> Turn around. >> I would have No, no, no, I didn't steal anything from him. >> I'm going to take the bag with the dog off. >> Yes. Okay, that's fine. I didn't steal anything, though. >> being detained. >> Okay, but I didn't steal anything from them. >> Okay, well, we'll make that determination.

I didn't take anything from them. >> Okay, put the dog in the car. >> I have my dog. >> He's got He's got your dog. Your dog's fine. >> I didn't take anything from them. That's my baby. >> Okay, your lighter have a You can have the lighter with you right now. >> All right. >> Good job. >> I didn't take anything. I don't have anything. It's my phone. >> Okay. >> I don't have anything from there. >> All right, just to keep you dry while while we have you detained, we're going to keep you in the back of the car. >> I didn't take anything >> I guess you're not under arrest yet, but you're detained. To keep you dry, we're just going to have you sit in my car. >> Okay, just open my stuff right now and look. >> We got to talk to security first. >> No, no, no, that stuff's there. >> Okay, and once we make that determination >> Uh it all came from Ulta in No. >> Okay. >> Are you kidding me? >> Like I said, you're just detained right now. >> I went to Ulta.

Are you guys going to take her? >> We'll take care of that if you could put yourself in the car. >> I'm going to wait because I know I didn't take anything, so this isn't right. >> Ma'am, listen, you're making this more difficult than it is. >> But I didn't take anything. >> that, but at the point right now you're being detained. >> I didn't take Yes, but being detained for what? >> Let's go then. >> For something that I told him he could have back?

You can't walk into a store and take something and say, "Hey, I'm going to give it back to you cuz I don't want it anymore." Or they take it back and >> for one, I was walking out, and I forgot it was on the bottom shelf. You guys look at the video. >> That's what we're doing, okay? Therefore, we need you in the car.

Would you want him to pick him up? >> somebody to pick her up, but I don't >> Okay. How long Okay, listen. I'm not asking you that, okay?

You got to stick the key in it and then They attempted to have someone pick up the suspect's dog and avoid animal control, but eventually the officers ran out of patience due to her behavior. >> No, my dog is not going to the pound. >> Yes, it is. >> No, she's not. I gave you a number. >> That is incorrect. You don't dictate how this goes. So, that's the wrong attitude to have. >> No, it is not. >> Yes. >> No. >> No, it's right here. Right here. >> She won't.
