After straight up lying to police, this shoplifter gets the surprise of her life when she realizes everything was caught on camera. On November 10th, officers in Havana were called to a farm and home supply store after the suspect was seen stuffing store merchandise in her bra. Police speak with staff and view security footage of the suspect before confronting her. >> See, it's just potential. I can't see anything on camera, but very suspicious. Like very very >> Do you see them on camera right now or? >> Yeah, I can. But then they go on hiding spots. And then I actually saw the one girl, she put um a tester down her bra. >> A what? >> Tester, like perfume testers down her bra. And then she ended up pulling out later on. So that to me is like a big a big ring flag. I mean, obviously she's trying to steal, but we've been walking it a lot. And I just didn't know maybe having one of you guys just walking it if it would help like deter them and make them. >> Let me see what they look like. Okay. >> How long have they been here? >> They've probably been here for an hour. >> But there was another girl, but she left. >> You have cameras in the parking lot by chance? Um, I do, but I haven't looked. >> Yeah, if I could see a plate, that'd probably help, too. But let me just see what they look like first. >> There's one right there. There's another one she left. And then there's another one right there. She's the one that put the tester down her bra. >> Okay. So, we got like white Well, it's like purple short. >> Yeah, purple hair, but she >> white cardigan and then a black hoodie. Those are the only two people that are here still. >> Yeah, she's gone. It's the guy and then the purple-haired girl. Um, but like I said, she did pull it out cuz they're both They were both here a couple times. She did pull it out later on cuz we cuz I think she probably thinks that we suspect them stealing, >> right? >> But like I didn't know and I told her on the phone that you guys didn't have to come out if you didn't want to. I just wanted someone just to walk the floor for a little bit if that was possible just to kind of >> I'll just go and talk to them and see what's going on. >> They're acting really suspicious. She did put the girl with the purple. She did put it in her bra and then she pulled it back out later on because we were all over there. So I think she thinks that we are on to her type thing. So, I just know if you guys can just walk around because they've been in the dressing room. He is still in my dressing room. >> An officer speaks with the suspect who denies all accusations and complicates the investigation with her behavior. >> Okay. Well, cuz there's a couch on. >> Yeah, that's one thing we don't we don't we've never done. >> All righty then. Um All right. Well, then I guess she wasn't going to get Yeah, >> that's one thing we don't >> Okay. No. All right. Sorry about that. No, no, you're good. >> Thank you. >> Yep. Thank you. >> And you you didn't happen to misplace anything, did you? When you're walking around in the store, we just got a call from a customer saying that you were acting a little suspicious, so I want to make sure that you weren't taking anything or anything like that. >> No, ma'am. I just Well, I was going to check out and with my link card, but um they didn't know that they didn't take link card, but Okay. >> Um I didn't misplace anything. >> You don't have anything in the bag that belongs in the store or anything like that? >> No, absolutely. You >> mind if I took a look? Um, I'm not gonna let you search my stuff, but just because there's other things in there, but nothing that I'm not stoing anything% right >> 100%. >> If you didn't steal anything, then is there a reason I can't look in the bag? >> I would prefer you to not search for my stuff. >> Well, let us find out if you took something, it's not going to be a good deal. But if you want to just give it back now, we won't have any problems. Okay. >> There's nothing here that I take that I've taken. >> Would you mind letting me see your ID? >> I don't have my ID either. >> Can I get your date of birth? >> I have a picture of it. Yeah, I can get your Awesome. Oh, it's Catherine. My name's Catherine. Okay. It's just voting cuz I don't have any service here. >> That's no problem. Wait. You want me to give you my name? I'm just going to show you a picture of the ID. >> Yeah, that's fine. >> Have the same information. I just need you to spell it for me. K A T H R Y N. >> Where'd that perfume come from? Cuz it looks like it came from the store. I'm not going to lie. >> That is my perfume. >> Can I see it? Cuz it's in plain It's literally in plain view. >> And it's mine, right? I'm not hiding anything. >> Okay. >> Check the cameras. >> I have a name and date of birth when you're ready. Am I being detained or >> momentarily? >> Yeah, it's me. I heard this not working. I haven't named date of birth already. Probable cause. >> Diaper bag cuz I have a child at home. >> Then why why would you bring the diaper bag in the steer though? >> Be suspicious for sure. >> I saw a perfume. >> Check the cameras, you know. I mean, >> I saw a perfume in her bag and [clears throat] which it was in plain view cuz the zipper was open. >> It's in plain view, right? I'm not hiding anything. >> But it it looked like a Yellowstone perfume that you got from the store. That's what they sell here. >> You would have known that. Where are you at? >> I saw the emblem cuz your zipper was open. Is it probable cause to search your bag or no? >> She's detained right now. >> I'm asking if I'm being detained and whatnot and they're wanting to search my bags and I said no. So, I'm just curious what my rights are. Okay. I can just leave. I don't know. >> Oh, we go speak with >> she's revoked. I don't know who's driving without a PJ. >> That's fine. I'll be right back. >> Well, she's saying I'm being detained, you know. Don't know what that means exactly, but >> it's reasonable suspicion that you committed a crime. I'm just trying to figure things out. >> What does that mean, though? >> I have reasons to believe that you may have stole something, which is a crime, so we're just hanging out for a second till we get everything figured out. You know, your boy's back there still in the dressing room. He's been back there for a while. >> Mike's still Yeah, Mike's still in the dressing room. Yeah, but he's got a wedding this weekend. They're just being dumb. I mean, suspicious or whatever they said. >> Do you have any video of them putting anything in the backpack? >> Uh, no, not yet, though. >> Okay. >> Why did she >> We got her detained. >> Actually going to search her. I just wanted you to walk the floor. >> I They're just being super suspicious. So, >> you think so, too? Okay. >> Yep. Um, I'm going to go from here. I just I was hoping you had video of her like physically putting stuff. Perfume. Where do you guys keep your perfume? >> So, I It was in the corner. It's right here. I'll show you. >> So, the perfume is right here in the corner cuz here's the dressing room. Here's the corner. But, they were over there. Like I said, she was I'm trying to find it where she she had pulled it out of because she did actually she was over here. Okay. >> And then she went over here and then she pulled it out of her bra because I think she on her obviously it's hard to see it on the camera. >> All right. I didn't see it. Um I'm going to go back out here with her and see what I can't figure out real quick. >> She didn't do anything. I mean, that's what all she's saying to us, but I'm just >> I got someone here at farming home and we have regional suspicions. Believe that they have been stealing stuff. She won't let me search her backpack that she brought in and everything like that. Can I like go ahead and like PC search her or does she have to consent? Um, the workers called in and they've been here for like an hour. She went to go try and check out, but she ended up not paying for anything cuz she asked to use a link. And they've been here for a while just acting weird. And one person already left that was in their group. And there's a male that's still hanging out in the dressing room. She brought a backpack in. Said I couldn't search it. So, and I her front zipper was open on the backpack and it looked like a perfume bottle from out of the store, but that's all I really had. >> Yeah, I already ran her 27. We're waiting on the mail to come out, but they're from peak. She's revoked. So, I'll just tell the workers that they can search her if they want to and we could just Okay, like we don't have enough to search her, I guess. So, um Jeremiah said the workers can if they want to. So, I'm gonna go I'm gonna go tell the workers that if you want to stay with her for a second and make sure we need to get that boy's information. 28 off the car would be great. So, just work on that. >> So, here's the deal. I just called a supervisor. I guess it's not enough for an officer to search them with just reasonable suspicion, but he said that you guys are 100% good with searching them. I do think that she has stuff in her backpack in her diaper bag. She said there's like a little Yeah, she's got a backpack with her and a coat and a couple coats. I think she's stuffing stuff in. There's a little zipper on the front of the bag and it looks like a Yellowstone like perfume bottle. >> Yes, >> that is one of them. >> And that's like a full one that's on sale >> probably. It's a the tester one. >> Okay. Is that necessarily stealing if it's a tester? I don't really know. >> That's still product. It's 50. >> We have to pay for it to put it out on the shelf. >> Well, if if you want to go up to them and tell them that you're searching them more than likely. I mean, >> do that though. as an employee. My supervisor said that you could, but as officer standpoint with the legal thing, like we can't just go and search them. Even though I saw a bottle in their bag, unfortunately. >> You did see a bottle in their bag. Is it open or No, >> it's in the front zipper. I think she closed it now, but it was definitely like the Yellowstone like why like rocker on like emblem on the top of the cap. >> Mhm. >> So, >> okay. Maybe I can just talk to her and be like, >> well, we're still going to wait for I guess her boy is still in the locker room or whatever or the [ __ ] dressing room. So after we identify him and then we're going to try to get their license plate off the car, then we can circle back around and if you guys want to sweep through the surveillance and try to see if you have an actual like video for stealing something, then I can create a case and send it to the state's attorney and then she would end up have like a warrant for arrest. They're out of peacin. So it's like one of them deals. >> So I need to make a call and see if if I'm even legally able to do that. I don't know if I can. >> Let me make a call. >> She's she's detained right now at the door. So, >> okay, I'll take this for real. >> Look, I just looked at the cameras. We got a video of you taking one of the testers off and sticking it in your backpack. If you want to return the stuff that you took right now, it's not going to be a problem. Okay? Just give it back to the store. >> I need to get to my You need to get my daughter off the bus. So, if I admit to taking the tester, then what? >> If there's anything else, then >> if you if you return it, they're going to let her go, right? If you just return the stuff that you took, they're going to let you >> tester perfume. It's in my >> And when we check the video, there's not going to be anything else. >> No, no, there's nothing else. This is our coat. >> There's nothing inside the coats or inside the main backpack, right? >> It's a male that's walking around with you. >> He's in the dressing room. And I don't know. I thought what he was buying was in the cart, to be honest. >> So, and then I was like, "Well, I'm going to the car. So, what are you doing to put stuff in the car?" And he said, "I'm trying on another sweater." So, I don't I don't know. He's just a friend. I don't know. >> Unfortunately, we have to wait for him to come over here. So >> why why have to be >> You came in together and you're going to leave together. >> Well, you're still detained. Did you guys come in the same vehicle? >> Yeah. Um well, kind of. Our friend met us here. I walked over here because I was down at the pass game and then he rode with her. So I really actually didn't even come with him. >> We came in the same vehicle. >> I walked here. We vehicle not with him. I just I need to get my daughter from the school bus. >> Right. You know why it would be taking him so long? >> I don't know. I know he's got a wedding grocery trying on trying on stuff, >> but I don't know. I don't I don't even know. My phone's fine. >> Excuse me. Where's mail at? I'm sorry. >> Sorry. I just on the backside by the dog beds on the phone right now. >> Let me talk to you real quick, boss.

I was just >> You're not with her, but you but she's carrying your stuff around. >> It was I had >> All right. Let's Let's walk up to the front of the store. >> I had stuff in the same car as her. >> Okay. All right. Let's walk up to the front of the store. Not in here taking nothing. >> No. We had No, I just come here. I need to get some stuff and then send into insurance for because we had a house fire not too long ago. So, >> when'd you have the house fire? >> Oh, it's probably about four or five months ago. But I got to get insurance. Insurance gave us a certain amount of money. And so now if we want anything more than what they cuz some stuff like pants and stuff they give you like five bucks and stuff, >> right? Right. >> And it's like 50 to replace it. >> I I get it. So you're not buying any of that? >> I I was going to, but but >> you're free to buy whatever you want. >> Oh, that's fine. Uh we can go talk or whatever. >> There's another officer up here. She's conducting an investigation right now. Okay. >> We're here at the front. >> It's kind of a common thing for people to stack clothing underneath their clothing in a f in a fitting room. So, >> you want to call in on him by name of you? Yeah. I'm I'm going to need your name and stuff real quick since you go try to deal on you. What's your uh last name? >> Craig. >> Craig. >> What's going on, big dog? >> I don't mean to embarrass you or anything, but >> yeah, one of one of them deals.

I understand. has a wedding decision this weekend and that's all. >> I'm still waiting on the I guess you got the perfume back then. >> Yeah, she said that's the only thing that she took. So feel it's 100% necessary if you don't want to look through it or don't feel comfortable doing that. >> Okay, you're waiting on a call. Let me know. >> Is this one of your belts right here or pants or anything like that? >> Um >> I don't even think this is the brand. >> Yeah, it's from new. >> You can tell that they're at the feet. I mean they're not pants. >> The belt for sure. The belt was ours. Do you have anything else in your bag or anything? So, if they say it's okay for me to search it, are you going to let me search it? >> I told already told her that I don't want No, you're not searching my my stuff. Hello. >> I gave back the perfume. I'm going to make this. You said if I gave back the perfume, that was the agreement, right? I held up my end of it. I'd like to get my >> That wasn't the agreement. >> I'd like to get it out of here faster, but like I'm I'm a new officer and it's it's kind of sticky with legal things with stealing. So, I'm sorry if it's taken a little bit longer. Hey, so she admitted to stealing perfume and I she gave it back from her bag. Is that enough reasonable suspicion or probable cause to search the rest of her stuff? All right. So, would this be hooked or just report? It doesn't matter with prices or anything like that of how much it was. >> [ __ ] I have to I mean, >> okay. >> I got to search the rest of your stuff. Probable cause.
