And I'm going to sue Target. Oh, heck no. Uh-uh. No. No. No. I'm going to I'm going to sue you all. On August 9th, 2023, officers were dispatched to Target in response to reports of a woman with 35 prior incidents who had entered the store and was attempting to steal again. So, he's right now. So, we're going to go straight to the office. That's Dylan's going to explain a little better. Uh he's a known subject has about I think he said 100 I think is what he said total. Well the case for the case. Yeah. Yeah. How about now? Uh now I'm unsure. I don't think she's going to try to push out. I think it's um he knows more about it than I do. Yeah. Hey guys, how's it going? What's up? Got a lady. She take a switch switches stuff. She's she ticket switches like um she ticket switches using stock barcodes usually a little bit um what was it based on? Like 2400. We have a name for her. I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate, but we have her as Thelma Grant. Thelma Grant. Yes, that's a old lady. Yeah, she's old lady. I don't feel bad for her, though. She's She knows what she's doing. Like, she's been doing this for a while. Like, just to give you some insight. $2,400 in fact. How many? No. 32 incidences. Yeah. So, she's been doing this for a while. So, usually what she does is she grabs like little stock barcodes that are like a dollar, a little bit less, and she'll put that on whatever else she's buying, and then she'll actually go through the checkout line. Mhm. But she she'll scan the socks. Yeah, she scans the socks like 50 times. Yeah. So, while she's scanning, can you pull up like what all is being Okay. Yeah, we can. She's been doing this for so long that we have all these different incidents on her. Yeah. She's been in here a while already. Um, she's been in here for I came up on lunch. She's been in here for like 30 minutes. I'm expecting her to head to the front soon. Is she a nurse? Really? I have no idea. I know the last time she came in though she was wearing scrubs. So that's kind of how I picked up on her today. I was like, "Okay, same scrubs." She's she's been hitting us forever. Like her incident started 2020. So she's been doing it for 3 years now. I think she's doing the switching in there where she's changing the barcodes out cuz what she did, she selected like an abundance of those. But she just tape them on. Well, they're sticky is what it is. So, um, those 50 cent cups and the 50 cent bowls, like the little plastic ones we have, she selected a lot of those. So, what I'm thinking before, what she's probably doing is taking the barcodes off of those and putting them putting them onto the apparel items that she selected and the other stuff so she can pay 50 cents for those. Oh, no, no, no. We'll get her um once she pays at the POS and once she exits, we have to like Target makes us let them leave. That way it shows like there's no possible way they could have intended to properly pay. Like that's why they call it the last point of sale. Like there's no way that she could have paid properly. I just need her to get out of the figure room at this point. And like I showed them, I've got 30 plus incidents of her switching barcodes. So I know you guys technically could pull her for defacing the merchandise, but we don't want to do that cuz it's just Target won't let us do that. Mhm. But my boss did give us permission. Like if she for some reason like maybe sees the cop car or something, she abandons it, we will we can pursue a trespass. All right. So, oh yeah, she's taking we're good. So, see that? Look at that's a big black bowl that she scanned. That's a small white little cup that she scanned. So, we're good. Let's just wait till she passed off points and say, can you guys tell the difference? So, you see that's a big black bowl and this is like a small white cup. Mhm. And then you should see her do it here again. And the little paper bowls. Yeah. So, she's still doing the cup. So, we're good. We just need her to leave now. Perfect. This is I wonder where she did with the cup. She dumped them. She left them like she left them where she dumped the other stuff. Hey, I'm sorry to bother. Um, so I have Thema right here at the POS. She used ticket switch. She switched barcodes. She scanned everything in, but her card might decline. It looks like she's struggling to render payment. If that's the case, the police are saying they have enough to like charge her with shoplifting because she switched the barcodes, but what should we do to proceed? We can. Yeah. Target, right? As long as the police want to. Um, I'm I'm willing to prosecute on that. Okay. Okay. All right. Thank you. All right. Bye. Hey. So, she's still at the POS and she's been at the POS for 20 minutes now trying to render payment and offer time. I got my baton. I went home and I played with it and I couldn't get it to close. I was like, so he said you guys if you guys want to pull it away. All right. Thanks, Mark. All right. Bye. Go ahead. I I'll take your Hey, ma'am. Drop your phone for me. Uhhuh. Drop your phone for me. Yes. You're under arrest right now. Okay. Place your hands. Place your hands around your back. We'll tell you as soon as you're uncuffed. What I did?

Well, I'll let you know. Just let me get these cuffs on you real quick. Don't want to mess up your watch. Mhm. What in the world did I do? We'll explain. Just give us a second.
