on January 27th 2023 officers were called to Sephora in regards to two females who were caught shoplifting over $11,000 in makeup products hi there what's going on so let me grab a price sub they so they selected each selected rot balls okay and they concealed in her bag majority of it and she took like probably 10 items and walked out with the Bas okay so let me grab so this is everything here this is everything that they took I'll grab a price okay so what's what's going on today do you have your IDs with you guys no you don't have any IDs with you I don't what's in your purse what's your name while we're waiting on them I'm read this to you guys okay you have the right to remain silent not answer any questions any statement you make must be freely and voluntarily given you guys ever been arrested before huh I'm ask just asking questions so right now I'm trying to figure out what they have going on here what the total amount is what the video shows me right now I'm just talking to you so but I have to get that out of the way before we talk about anything it's just I mean you see TV that's how it works so yeah we're going to it's 1,12 $12 okay no tax so that one okay okay so so do you have any video of what's going on I'll show you um okay let's see just so you guys know that you know to the price it's like it's like 1100 sorry it's a 11 it's 11 11 $1,112 so we're going to prosecute I got a question what's that no not on camera listen No it is on camera I just watched it you didn't I that was what's that I watch you walk out with a basket in your hand not me I dropped it right there he even once you once you walk past that door you have stolen okay the statute Elite reads to temporarily or permanently deprive somebody of the property I didn't take you you see me did did you honestly okay honestly I mean if you want to do me a fav just hang that up then if we're going to talk okay okay so you tell me what happened then I mean as you can see on the camera I didn't work out with I didn't I didn't you could look on the camera I didn't you you understand that if you took any selected any items and you put them into the one that she carried out or put it in this purse or anything like that that means you're acting in concert and you're both you're both guilty of a felony dropped it on the floor I dropped it on the FL I didn't take it I did not take anything you could see on the camera I didn't take anything when he walked outside he'll tell you I didn't have anything right wrong did I have something I didn't I did not have nothing I didn't I I did not have anything well right now I do have probable cause to arrest the both of you for felony shoplifting okay now now this isn't a courtroom I'm not a lawyer neither are you I'm not a prosecutor all I am is is the guy that looks at the video writes the report writes down what I see and what what they swear to me as a statement if you want to make a defense the court is the time to do that okay and I'm not tring right now today I'm not trying to argue with you I'm not trying to fight with you I'm not trying to have any kind of so so as long as we understand each other in that regard okay it's my job to document this if they give me a SP statement that says what they saw what they saw then I do what I do okay you understand that right this is for you and an attorney later on to defend against in court okay does that make sense so do me favor I need your both to stand up we're going to treat yall with respect as long as Y and I'm not disrespecting nobody I'm not disrespect but he's telling you I didn't take nothing what's that I'm going to take a sworn statement from him in a second and if his sworn statement matches that you don't have anything and you didn't take anything then we'll go then we'll go from there right now hey you got chains or I got chains want CH all right here we go just raise your right hand for me yeah do you swear affirm everything to talk about today is the truth the whole truth the truth yes okay so start to finish what what happened to okay so I was on stage I was on the on the sales FL um I saw the two subjects enter the store um they walk straight directly towards the roller balls they each select I saw them selecting multiple grabbing like three four at a time um I then radio into my supervisor and advis the situation they um the two girls loaded um well one there one of the girls I think with the brown not the one wearing black the one with the brown had a basket okay um and a and a purse mhm so they each select and they placed the items into the basket they walked towards fragrance they looked around at the testers then they walked towards the front door and in that little cubby hole they um they each they well the girl with the brown she selected the items the one with the shoulder hair yeah okay she selected items out of out of the the Sephora basket and placed them into her into her purse while the girl the subject in the black stood next to her kind of shielding okay um and um then she just I'm not sure why she just walked out with the basket but inside the basket there was like 10 roller balls when she walked out with it uh I then approached both of them outside one went left one went right my supervisor came out and I advised my supervisor to follow the one and the the last yeah black cuz I I followed the merchandise as as she's walking back the one that went right is the one in the brown um so I'm sorry when they okay sorry when they both walked out they both went left then when I approach the one in the Brown went she turned around went right and as she's passing the Sephora she drops the basket right in front of the door and she said she drops the basket in front she dropped she drops the basket in front of the door and says um oh oh I I I I left it it's there it's there you know whatever I'm like you still got to come back until you walked out the store with the merchandise and she kind of stood there for a second like gu deciding whether she should come back or not and then subsequently she she ended up they both came back to the office okay now at any point did you see what happened to the items that were in the basket carried by the one with the long blonde hair you said the other woman was taking items out of her out of her basket putting it into her bag correct did you ever seen any concealment on the behalf of the other person or she or she was only acting as the shield acting as a sh okay okay so so the items that she previously selected what happened to those items those items were I guess assuming they were in the basket okay yeah the the items that she selected got got concealed okay by the subject in the brown okay um Al I guess she put some in the in her in her purse and in the basket as well okay um but like I said they both act in concert I saw them both selecting they never left each other's side at the same time okay oh yeah okay so but just cuz I'm trying to figure in the video it appeared to me they each had a basket at one point in time um Mercedes did each of them have a basket I can't I can't remember I I I I'm pretty sure I don't I don't I think so I think just the one in the brown B okay it's kind of hard for me to follow there a lot going on there I totally get it totally understand all right well thank you very much I appreciate thank you offic yeah I li you li yeah okay about my name oh cool get yeah they're going to get it one way or the other so I appreciate you being honest how about you I give you money it real all right what's your real name what's your real last name okay listen here's the thing this is what I told a kid earlier today and you know this own your you the thing I'm on probation I got a baby I can't up I know I'm doing I'm up about even doing this but I was doing it cuz but here's the thing there's no getting out of it now right so we're beyond that point of like hey like we're already here it's already involved so what's your real last thing I didn't even do nothing I'm just here this is crazy you realize that coming with somebody who's going to steal and helping them select what they want to take and blocking them from you is called acting in concert right even if you take a not a felony amount of items acting together to do it makes it a felony that means y all working together remember what I told you earlier M that means just like just like all you got to do is bring Tim coiling to try to defeat a security sensor that Mak it the felony too you see what I mean mhm oh my God I have a question go ahead due to the fact that I'm already on probation would I have to sit in jail mhm probably yeah see a real jail oh my God no no it all depends on
