Okay. Just turn around. What's going on now? >> I'm just patting you down for weapons. All right. Everyone that goes in, go down. All right. All right. So, the officer that's doing the invest what? >> Before long, the pawn shop owner passes by inside the police car and confirms the man in custody is the same person involved in the earlier transaction. >> Yeah, that's him. >> That's the That's the mail. >> Okay. 37 97 and you can say 8.9.

Lots and lots of questions. Yo, no. I just got his he just told me his name from New York. So, what I would do what I do first is take that card and then see if it's a fraudulent card. There should be a number there should be a number on the card you can call and be like, "Hey, someone's trying to use this card with a you know what we know is to be a fake ID." Yeah. Fake ID charge, right? And then I think I and I think the uh the other card it would be like mis misuse of personal identification or credit cards. That's the second charge. Does the name on the card match the ID? Okay. So, it's probably like a printed card like we're some someone got the card number and he he made his own fraudulent card. You know what I mean? They're going to explain to you, man. I don't want to give you I'm not there. So, I don't want to give you bad information.

You >> know how long this is going to take? >> I would say maybe 20 more minutes. >> Yeah. >> You wouldn't be able to sit down on no seats or anything like that. >> I can't bring you over to there cuz they probably don't Oh, just because it says Brooklyn, you're from Brooklyn, man. We can't just >> I didn't even see it said Brooklyn. I just wanted to sit down. >> Uh, let me see if I get it. >> Yeah. Let's Let's head over there. Can you grab that? You good? With the suspect identified, the officer returns to the employees to gather a more detailed account of what happened. >> Can you tell me what happened? Were you working as like the cashier at the time? >> He came to the store and he say that he's looking for to buy a Rolex Day. >> And then I show him couple options and he like this mariner stainless steel. I told him the price 11,500 before taxes and he was agree with this. >> He agreed with it. He didn't try to negotiate or anything. >> He didn't try and they negotiate at all. He even says that he can pay the fees for the card which is 3% and he was agreed to pay the tax. Sometimes people are negotiate because they don't want like they want better price. >> Okay. >> And he didn't negotiate at all. Yeah. And then I asked him ID and his card which he is willing to pay. And >> he provided >> he provided these two >> items right here. And then uh when I was trying to scan it with a bar the barcode here, it didn't scan and the ID >> looks weird by my opinion. >> Yeah, it doesn't look. That's why I starting to text to my boss and ask what to do and he say that I should ask his date of birth. So I did ask it and it was correct. He >> then on the address he say everything good but his zip code was wrong and I I was have feeling that he read on the phone what he has. So probably he he hold the phone on this moment and probably he read it like this. He hold I'm sorry he held his phone. >> Yeah. So when I asked his questions like what is your date of birth? He holding the phone. So probably he can see that >> like he was reading something. >> He was reading something. So >> okay >> I'm not sure I that's why I was confused and I wasn't sure that it's his ID. Today is the second time a day that somebody trying to scam us. So >> we decide to call you. And the total value of the items he was trying to purchase [music] more than $11,000. >> And then he asked his uh ID back when I was in the back and uh he uh decide to run away from the store. >> He ran away. >> Yeah.
