Okay. >> But I didn't take anything. >> You had $700 worth of items in your cart and your receipt was for $200 and something dollars. You were pushing the cart out. Yes. Put your hands behind your back. >> Don't grab me like that. >> I'm going to grab you. You You think you're free to go? You're not free to go. >> But okay, I know that. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> You're trying to be rough though. I'm not trying. Let me put my hands behind my back. >> Then put it back there. >> Let Let my arm go. >> Put your hand behind your back. Thank you. >> Well, you're not welcome. >> One suspect complains that the handcuffs are too tight and they argue that officers have no camera evidence of theft. >> That is tooight. >> I can fit two fingers in between that. >> My hand can have a seat over here for me. They taking us to jail and I they don't got me on camera taking [ __ ] up out of the out of the store but they can't show me nothing on the camera and the only thing they got on the right is a damn some earrings >> 22 >> that they took off of her. >> Oh yeah the other want to take one out. >> Okay. >> Can you refund me my money please? It doesn't matter >> because I pay $40 for my items. >> All right. I'm call >> she's sitting right there talking to her. >> You got anything else on you besides just your cell phone? >> Yes. >> What else you got? >> Um, what's in my ball? What is >> During the search, one woman admits she has items hidden in her bra, prompting the officer to call for a female officer to conduct a proper search. >> Okay, >> I'm sorry. >> Look, look, I'm not going to go in there and get that. >> I just want to do that in front of everyone. >> I understand that. Okay. Anything I guess what I'm getting to is anything that's going to poke me, stab me, anything like that. Okay, >> your phone's coming out. >> You're not going to sit back there and make phone calls. You can have your nutty bar. All right. What do you have? What's What's in your bra? >> And I also have my vase in my apartment. >> Okay. And >> Okay. Have a seat in my car for me. >> 911. Are you clear? >> The other lady just advised me that she has a bunch of stuff in her bras as well. >> So, anybody close? >> I I mean, Scrogggins is going to have to come out regardless. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, that's what I was going to do. I mean, I've never I've never had a female that had something hidden in her bra, so I was going to ask you. >> I was just a >> So, retail over for her. I don't know what she all has in her bra though, so I don't know if it'll end up being over or under. >> Yeah, I'm going to Miranda real quick. Cuz I asked her, I'm like, "Do you have anything else on you that you shouldn't have?" And more or less as like a weapons and stuff like that. And she goes, "Well, I got stuff for my brawl." I'm like, "Okay, let me be more specific. Weapons, anything that's going to poke me, stuff like that." >> Okay. And then uh I'll start I'll start doing the booking for her real quick. >> Um and then >> I'll have to get the receipt and all the stuff. Uh we call Scrogggins out once she gets here. I can I can finish doing the stuff inside. So what's going to end up happening is I'm going to have to get a female officer out here. More >> the officers prepare to mirandise the woman. She later confesses to having cosmetic products more than 10 items concealed in her bra. Les, I was reading you this because I I'm trying to figure out what you have in your bra. You already admitted to having things in there, but you don't want to talk to me. So, the female officer will come. >> I will talk to you. I just want to be in front of everyone. >> So, you Okay. So, let me re let me reass this. After I read your rights, you understand them. Having those rights in mind, will you talk to me? >> Okay. Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. Okay. So, what do you have in your bra? >> Cosmetics products. >> Cosmetic products. How how much are we talking in here? Like, how many items are we talking? Not much. >> Okay. A lot 10. More than 10 >> probably. Okay. Okay. So, that's what's going to happen. A female officer is going to come out here. Um, the female officer is driving the wagon anyway, so it'll be that'll that'll kill two birds with one stone. Um, and we'll have to get those items out of there. Okay. >> All right. Um, and >> both suspects are charged with felony retail theft for stealing approximately $700 worth of goods from Walmart. Even when you think you've covered your tracks, store surveillance sees everything. Stealing a few extra items can quickly turn into a felony charge. >> Don't want to mess up your watch. >> Mhm. >> What in the world did I do? 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. >> 100 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 ticket switches stuff. She's she ticket switches like um she ticket switches using stock barcodes usually a little bit >> um hopefully. >> 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. >> Thema Grant. >> Yes, >> that's an old name. >> 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 theft. >> How many Oh, 32 incences. >> 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. >> Her sneaky trick, swapping price tags from cheap stuff like $0.50 plastic cups onto the expensive goodies. Think Champagne tastes on a soda budget. >> So, that's kind of how I picked up on her today. I was like, "Okay, 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 is 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. >> Oh, yeah. >> She selected a lot of those. So, what I'm thinking here, what she's probably doing is taking the barcodes off of those and putting them >> putting them onto the apparel items that she selected in the other stuff. So, she can pay 50 cents for those. Oh, no, no, no. We'll get her um once she pays at a 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 proper. She'd been pulling this move since 2020, racking up more than $2,400 in discounts. That's a lot of savings. >> 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 once. >> Target's policy says they can't act until a suspect finishes paying and exits. So, officers waited while Thelma did her thing. of >> 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 behind your back. We'll tell you as soon as you're uncuffed. >> What? I did. >> We'll tell you as soon as you're cuffed. >> What did I do? >> What's Are you just Let me get some handcuffs on you and then um >> we'll bring you back and we'll explain everything. >> Yeah. >> Sorry. >> 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. >> Would you like me to grab your cell phone for you? >> Yes. What did I do, man? >> We'll explain it in the office. Okay. >> You going to move it over there? >> Did you want me to disconnect the call? >> Yes. >> What did I do? >> I'll take your purse, Miss >> Okay. So, >> the loss prevention officer is going to explain everything to you. Yes. Um, we're just going to sit down, have a conversation, and he'll explain everything, >> right? >> Cuz I didn't do I mean, for y'all to come up and just handcuff me like that in front of everyone, and I didn't do anything back here. >> How you all going to handcuff me? >> Have a seat over here on the the bench for me? >> Yes. >> That's good. You can sit there or there either way. >> Yeah. I don't want to sit down. >> Have a seat. >> I don't want to sit down, sir, because this hurt me. This hurt my arm. So switching switching the barcodes of switching the barcodes of an item is a crime. >> I didn't switch no barcode. >> I have you on camera, ma'am. And we have >> What did you do, sir?

Yes, I I had I bought me some pajamas yesterday. Yeah. But then when I got to the register, um she told me it was fine for me to go ahead and put that in there.

First of all, I didn't leave out the store with anything and I didn't change no I didn't change no prices on anything. The only thing I did was scan what I had. >> When you were scanning things, they were it was coming up as a white plastic cup. >> Listen, I scanned what I had. You're not going to sit up here and tell me that I shoplifted anything. >> Okay? I stand the stuff that I had. >> That's something that if you wish to fight it in court, you can fight it in court. >> Oh, I'm definitely going to fight this in court. >> I'm definitely going to fight this in court.

I'm going to lose my job. Please, sir. >> It's not It's not my choice. >> Well, whose choice is it? >> It's Well, can you talk to Corporate, please? >> I You heard me call them earlier and they What did they say? >> To arrest her. >> Yes.

Not exactly Oceanceans 11. said, "I can see if if I was going out that door and y'all ran behind me and grabbed me or whatever, but you got me right at the register in front of everyone. You bum rushed me. You did this and that and you could have called me, sir. Yes, you did. Yes, you weren't with me, sir. Sir, yes. No, y'all was not. No, was not equally. You know, no was not. No, you was not. Because my my granddaughter was on my granddaughter was on video and the way that you all came up and grabbed me by my arm and gented up like that in front of everybody and handcuffed me. You could have walked me in the back. >> No, ma'am. I don't know you from Adam. >> So, I've been treating just like I would treat anybody else. >> No, you don't. >> Fairly impartially. No, no, no.

No problem. >> In the end, she's only charged for that day's theft. But remember, even small thefts add up. Repeat offenses will eventually catch up with you. No matter how long you've gotten away with it, the truth always surfaces. My side. I can't lay on my phone. I'm pregnant. On August 24th, 2024 in Wawaossa, Wisconsin, Walmart's loss prevention team flagged a woman later identified as 42-year-old Kenya after she deliberately altered prices at selfch checkckout and tried to leave. She doesn't. >> Hi. >> Hey. >> Hey. We got to talk to you. >> No, you don't. Don't walk with me like that because you don't know me. We don't got no problem. I just got done exchanging everything. They got everything together. This is what paid for. I just like this. >> Okay. So, what's the misunderstanding? >> Cuz he said I under wrong, but they can't find these shorts. Like I told him, I'm going to pay for everything. I just spent $500 a year. >> Okay. >> 250 in one line and 200 another line. He said I under wrong, but how did I underr so I pay for everything else full price besides two [ __ ] joggers? Get the out of here. And I'm telling you the same thing I told him. I don't play no games. I got all tickets. He watched everything. He said that clearly. I underline that. But I think everything is there. >> These shorts are she was using skate like some sweatshirts and stuff like that. So that's why she doesn't have any she $10 ticket and that's when I was talking. She's saying I mean she's she has like the actual other ticket in her hand and she's like putting it in front of the thing scanning it. This is Slater. So >> Okay. >> So she paid for Uh she tried taking that. >> Oh, I guess the things that she was trying to >> So it came out to about 80 something I think. >> Do you have that uh receipt? >> Yeah, I do. Yeah. >> Did you go to make purchases or did you return? >> No, we just got done shopping.

They're in there on the counter. The other pair was army for tea. They were over there on the counter. Everything I did on this lady is over there. All the receipts, the the lounger, everything, everything is over there. Every single thing. >> So, how did how did four or five different shorts? >> Because for one, you're missing this is a totally different practice. These are all they're supposed to be on clearance, I guess. So, these are all things that I grabbed out of the store. So that's what they rung up as. And like I told him, I got all the items right there. So if it rung up, you see I rung it plain as day. Every single item, every one. But I'm not going to. And you see what I'm saying? So all I'm saying, all you have to do is come to me and say, >> I wasn't even going to call the cops. And listen, I don't even have you guys. >> Yeah. >> Instead of admitting fault, Kenya doubled down with excuses, but the mismatched receipts exposed her. Her story quickly unraveled and officers weren't swayed by the performance. >> Um, we are going to have to take you into custody. >> Crazy. Yeah. For what? >> So, you came for the misbring. >> Hold on. Wait. Hold on. Wait. Stop. Don't grab me. Hold on. Wait. I'm not I'm not fighting. >> Don't fight with me. You're under arrest. >> Excuse me.

Keep them there. >> Stop resisting, Kenya. >> You're hands behind your back. >> Get down on the ground in your stomach. >> When officers moved in to cuff Kenya, her demeanor flipped. She ditched the innocent act and fought back hard. Even repeated taser deployments failed, forcing backup to step in. Whatever my gift card and everything, I'm not resisting. I am a pregnant wrist like that. I'm a crack. Hold on. I don't got no problem not resisting. I can lay I can't lay on my >> Get down. She got her again. Lay on my side. I can't lay on my phone.

You had no right to put your hands on me. None whatsoever, Miss Lady. Because I wasn't resistant. I didn't lay on my stomach because I was pregnant. When you told me to slide down, I slid down.

She was charged with retail theft, resisting an officer and attempting to disarm a peace officer. The court sentenced her to 10 months in jail followed by 3 years of probation. Lying and resisting only make a bad situation worse. Taking responsibility early is always the safer path. All right, let's move to this next case where things might get even messier. >> In April 2024, store workers called police about a shoplifter. Officers find the guy has hundreds of stolen gift cards stuffed in his pockets. Forget pick a card, any card, he picked all of them. Hey, hey, watch out. Stop. Huh? How many gift cards do you have? Let's see. About 100. >> When detained, he suddenly claims he doesn't speak English, except he keeps answering in English.

Hello. >> Hello. >> All right. You have any ID on you? That's yours. >> Huh? >> Police ask for ID and his wallet. They start pulling items from different pockets like it's a magician's act. And for my next trick, more stolen cards. >> All we need right now is your identification. So, where is it? Sorry, your wallet. I got nothing else on this. One information cross. >> All right. Have a seat. Which one's coming out of my pocket? If you know, >> staff mention he hit another store an hour earlier. With Google Translate on standby, he cycles through Korean and Mandarin.

What do [music] you speak? What What language do you speak? >> Korean. >> Language. >> Language. >> Speaking Chinese. >> Chinese. >> Mandarin. >> Mandarin. >> Yeah. >> Um, >> we maybe get the basics from Google Translate.
