You run, you're in trouble. >> Run, you're getting more trouble. These two girls oh you try to hit me. Did you just try to hit? >> Trio speeds off with a partially covered license plate. Apparently thinking a napkin is high tech camouflage. Officers lose visual, but other units spot the world's least stealthy Toyota blazing around town. Hit >> me. 64. They're taking a 1031 in the white Toyota. Stand by for tag. It just about hit me. Fox Route 64. They got the tag covered with a uh medical same as what we just had. They're heading out to US or excuse me 100 now. They have to make a right-hand turn heading towards Belter. I just saw him running from me from the store. I have a whole bag of stuff with me now. Playing alude. Light sirens were activated. And as he backed out, he almost hit me with the car. >> We think we saw them come out of the Planet Fitness parking lot going eastbound on 100, but we're not 100% sure. 104, we're landing with somebody that has eyes on >> 6134. I think I have the vehicle over by BJ. >> Multiple patrol cars join the chase as the suspects push 75 Nemo Peru, proving they value scented candles more than their driver's license. >> Base construction site now heading eastbound. I need you guys to stay off the radio. We're about to go south onto Seinal Woods. >> Southbound on turning. Make the U-turn now. Go back towards 100. First character is a Bravo. Last is a Sierra.

You have anything on your person? Spread your feet, please. Anything on your person? >> No, sir. >> What were you guys thinking? You know you're in Flagger County, right? No, sir. >> Well, obviously you're going to learn now. We don't play like this. Not even close. Yeah, it's going to be pretty bad for you. All right. As officers gather evidence, a store employee arrives and learns the suspects literally drove into a pond and had to swim out. Bath and Body Works now offering unexpected full body rinses. >> Lean right up here cuz I got all the stuff you just stole that you threw on the ground. I didn't throw that on the drone. >> Yeah, it's funny. I got it all on my camera. >> Yeah, you do. Definitely research. >> That's what I need to say. >> All right, have a seat. It's a big room. You got plenty of room to get in. All right, I'll get all that out of your way. I got one Clear. You see in there? Good. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Clear. >> Yeah. When she saw me turn my lights on, she dropped that immediately. Anyone here? >> Am I allowed to have one? >> Hi. Hello. >> I heard something happened >> in the parking lot. >> Yes. >> I'm glad that your life was spared. >> Barely. >> I uh I move like a ninja. An old ninja. [laughter] Um so what we need to do is we need to get a total of everything. So here's what >> staff mention an organized group hitting stores repeatedly. Police look at the soaked trio and think, "Yeah, that tracks." Pat 15 cars later in a helicopter we caught them. We caught them because they can't really drive very well and they drove the car off into a pond on the other side of BP. So they all had to swim to us. So whatever else I I the way I understood it from the call there was more stuff they'd been coming in and out. So more than one trip. >> So if it's the group that we are thinking of I don't know if our loss prevention has been in contact with Flaggler County. >> Not that I'm aware of. I'm new to this call. Okay. Um, >> I just happen to be right here and >> has it happened? They're like, "Hey," they're walking out of the store and I'm like, "Hey, I see him." And as soon as Who called? >> Uh, some some gentleman had seen it and he even tried to help me stop the car. >> Yes, he I saw him in the parking lot. Yes. Yes. >> Okay. So, I will try to find out who he is and get a hold of him. I tried to call thinking it was y'all's loss prevention. So, >> Good Samaritan. >> Yes. >> Wow. Okay. So there's definitely been a group. We've got we've got large lots and lots of groups and there's one particular group in particular I guess that it's been coming weekly and I I wasn't out there to confirm if this was the same group or not >> but our loss prevention was we were told if they come it doesn't matter the dollar because we have to call only when it's a certain dollar amount to report it. So that way heavy time >> um >> between that and and if they did make several trips in and out like was being said, >> then there's a bunch more in the car, it's >> loss prevention confirms they filled two baskets and a tote with stolen items. Officers believe even more loot is somewhere in the watery Toyota. >> Get towed and taken to when they get it out of the pond. It's going to get towed and taken to Yeah. You'll see the back of my car. One of the ladies I I cuffed and put her in the back of my car. My car's underwater, soaked just from her drenched. So the biggest thing is right now what we need to do is do start our statements. I guess most important to start off with, we need a value. >> Can you create a value with this >> and then >> also what you might have seen camera? >> So we can't go back and look at cameras, but we can certainly She was getting ready to write a report for you. She was walked in. I was almost done. >> I wasn't out there, but I'm going to go watch the sales floor. Yeah. >> Yeah. This was the collector. >> Well, hopefully this will they took from the front table. We just don't know. They filled up two baskets and a tote. It was a tall, skinny black guy, right? Did he have a tote? >> So, when I was already in the car when I came out, he was driving and the two ladies were the ones that were hustling for the car. >> Yep. Yep. So, it was the three of them. >> So, you figured they had a basket and this, right? They had two of our shopping baskets. This probably filled up the half of one that I saw. And then the other one was >> the one lady I think she she throws something into the car, but it was like so I wasn't paying attention except for they're all I'm trying to figure out what car they're running for. So I'm I'm not really focused on what she had. The one girl, Amanda, she dropped this like just like that. And I was like, "Oh, okay." And I I don't know from there if the other lady cuz I look back. So I don't know if the other lady chunked something in the car. So chances are there's a lot in the car. Maybe from this store, maybe from other stores. >> Oh, yeah. They they they make their rout. >> We're impounding it. So, it'll go to our lot. You know, where the BP is down by by 95, the older gas station across from the hospital. That's sometimes it's occupied, sometimes it's not. >> On 100. >> Mhm. >> On the right. >> Yeah. Just past the Chrysler Dodge deal. >> They were charged with shoplifting and fleeing from police after running from the store. They also faced reckless driving and resisting arrest and possibly aggravated assault for nearly hitting the officer with the car. More charges were added for possessing stolen property found in the vehicle. Remember, running from the police only turns a small crime into a long list of serious charges. Stealing may seem quick, but the consequences always catch up even faster. Think the last one was wild? The next thief takes it to a whole new level. Comment your guess and hit subscribe so you don't miss it. On September 16th, 2025, police stop a squad of women suspected of shoplifting. One even brought her kids along because nothing says family outing like retail theft. Officers immediately noticed the fresh off the rack fashion because the tags are still literally attached. >> All right, air condition, right? They'll be fine. What's up with all this yellow stuff? >> We said who all this yellow stuff. >> Don't you supposed to have tags on your clothes? >> No, you're not. Actually, >> baby, you're supposed to have tags on it. The tags don't come off. You know what I mean? You guys don't have a receipt, right? >> No, I don't receipt. >> You know, they can scan these purchasing this time. She bought her stuff. Did my name come back? >> You're done with the phone. >> One woman instantly switches to hard mode. won't give up her phone, denies everything, gives a fake name, fake middle name, and possibly a fake attitude. Officers warn her she's heading straight for an obstruction speedun. >> The phone let go of the phone. Don't y'all >> I didn't do nothing. >> Right now, I'm grabbing the phone. >> Right now, you're being detained. All right. >> What do you mean detained? >> Right now, you're being detained. >> I didn't do anything. All right. Okay. Hold on. >> Then you'll be released if you didn't do anything. But right now, we're investigating retail. They go on. It just come off as easy as they go on. >> All you got to do is call. I ain't doing nothing. >> Well, we'll be out of here. >> The other thing you're going to get hit with is obstruction if you don't tell us your actual name. >> I'm telling you my DNA. >> Who exists? I'm in the system. So half of >> because you're not giving the right name. >> I am the >> So now you have a middle name. I heard you tell her twice you don't have a name. >> Actually more than twice. >> More than twice. So that's called lying and obstructing. You understand? >> This the middleman. >> Why should I believe that? >> When you decide to tell the truth when that's fine. They call her out for the lies. She responds with more lies. At this point, her story has more plot holes than a student film. >> A middle name. >> Now you're lying again. Right here looking at us. >> Okay. Step back. >> Um, >> let's step a little bit over here that way. Thank you. Okay. Nice. >> And actually did yesterday. >> Mhm. >> If anything, when y'all do go back cuz y'all got to go back to the stuff, right? >> You have to go back to school. >> Why do you have to go back to the stuff? >> That's up to me. >> Another woman decides honesty is the new trend. After being mirandized, she happily identifies everyone, including the cousin with the bright orange hair and blue gap fit. basically describing her like an NPC character selection screen. >> Make any statements. Do you understand these rights? Have these rights? Do you want to talk to me? >> Is that yes or no? >> Okay. So, what what exactly? >> Don't store. >> Okay. In the story. >> Okay. And let me see what I got. >> Who's on the person? She in the st. She in the store. What is she look like? Got orange hair. Orange hair. What else is she wearing? >> Scattering the blue gap. Japanese suit. >> Blue what? >> Gap. Let's say blue gap. >> G A P. >> Yep. >> Is it like dark blue or is it like blue? >> Okay. What about like shirt? What is she wearing? >> No, she got a whole scene. >> Oh, I'm sorry. Whole jogging shoes gap. Okay, gotcha. And so what what was her role in this then? I guess because how did you get involved in this? I guess going under still. >> Okay. But did you never touch anything? >> She swears she didn't walk out with anything and blames her cousin and another girl. She's snitching with confidence. 1010 volume your 10 loyalty. >> You ever take anything? I gave it to them. You gave it to them? Okay. Did you walk out with anything? No. Who walked out with something? The one right there and the others. I'll never see that cuz I'll put that. Okay. All right. Well, thank you for being is that your kid is another one. Oh, wow. There's another one. Okay. I'll let the other officer know in real. Um, do you know your friend's name? Which one? >> The one that's lying to me. >> My name. Okay. Do you know her last name? >> Okay. Sh Middle. I don't know maybe. Okay. Do you know her birthday? I think. Okay. Gotcha. All right. Give me a second. Just >> stay. Can you give me a second? >> Hey. Yes. >> Officers confirm nobody is leaving. The cousin gets emotional confused and continues denying her obviously fake name like she's committed to the role. >> So she said, "Hey, I'm just going to be honest with you. I'm just driving. I did give them some merchandise, but they're they're the ones that took the stuff." Um, it's her along with the other boys. She's like chair. Yeah, she's she's wearing like a a blue jack. >> Okay. So 95 for two. >> No, they're all 95. All right. >> Oh, yeah. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Where's the warrant? >> I don't have any. The warrant I had, baby. I did. >> Where at? >> In Illinois. >> Facebook. What was that? >> I did say >> cover your feet for me. >> Thank you. I don't think that >> you don't like what you tell me to get out of the car. >> You can't get out. >> You can't stay there. >> The woman with kids is prepped for transport. Her car is getting towed because nothing ruins a theft more than your getaway vehicle becoming evidence. I just got to search to make sure you don't have any weapons on you. You could keep talking to your kid. I just, you know, just for our safety. >> Okay. >> And then >> So, here's what we're going to do. We have a CSO working today. Since they're both in their car seats, he's going to drive your car to our station so we don't have to take them out of their car seats. But once we get to our station, your car is going to get towed because it was used in commission of a retail theft. We'll get both car seats out for you. We'll have both kids with us. They're not going to leave our side. You have to make smarter decisions, right? I mean, think about it. Do you think I showed up like we all just showed up on your stop just cuz she wasn't in the car seat? >> I know. >> Officers pull stolen items out of her shoes like it's a magic trick. She cooperates now, even asking about towing fees like she's checking out of a hotel. >> The most important part is like make sure you get in as soon as possible cuz Sorry, cuz I don't like that end of the day. Sorry, I'm just going to check this. Can you scooch a little bit more? Sorry, I I literally cannot get into you. Can you suffer your feet? Are you stolen? >> Are you stolen? >> Yeah. Okay, we'll we'll take them off. And uh >> what about these ones? >> No, they have more red. >> Okay, so just these ones are still >> We're going to need those. >> Yeah, she said the green ones are alos. >> Okay. Okay, thank you. >> One second. there. >> I don't know. Well, can we can we can I go now? >> Yes. >> Take her back now. >> Okay. >> You just put that in the couch. You put that in here. Sure. You put in diaper bag. >> The officer tries to be nice, saying he'll try to help her, but also warning her that honesty is her only real sale today. Then yes, you can go to the photo. I like careful. >> I'll talk to the officers. I can't promise you anything, but I'll see what I can do with you to hopefully get your release. Again, I don't take my word. I I don't have control over what happens. Okay. All I could do is ask. Okay. Even if they seem to walked out with her, maybe you could talk to them. See what you could do. Just be honest with them. And then >> all were charged with retail theft. The real mystery. Whether the cousin will ever forgive her for switching teams faster than a Tik Tok trend. Lying and blaming others might delay trouble, but honesty is the only thing that can actually help you. Every choice has consequences, especially when you get caught with the wrong people.

You're under arrest. >> Under arrest for what? >> For spitting on >> police arrive at a strip club where a dancer allegedly spit on an employee, kicking off what could be called a dance floor dispute gone wrong. Officers tell her she's under arrest for battery because apparently spitting isn't part of the performance. >> Yeah, I'll I'll roll down the window so you can talk to him. Okay. >> What am I doing? >> You're under arrest. >> Under arrest for what? >> For spitting on an employee. >> That's bad. >> Nick, let me just go home. >> Take your purse off. The dancer immediately switches to full panic mode, begging to go home, asking for random phone numbers and insisting the club is out to get her. Drama level 100%. >> Give me a chance. You gave me the chance. >> Just let me go home. It's nice. >> That's fine. I will. Come on. Can I get his phone number so I can run out? >> Absolutely. >> You mind if I get it right now? >> No. Just one second and I'll get it for you. >> You can defer three. >> Wait till I get your number so I can find out. >> I'll let you get it. I promise. >> Okay. >> Well, I don't know his phone number, so I just wanted to make sure that I had his phone number so I can find out. >> That's totally fine. I'll I'll let you grab it. Okay. I appreciate you being cool. I'll I'll ask what's going on and stuff in a second. >> I know. I know. Whoa, whoa, whoa. >> Okay. Because this is my >> It's okay. It's okay. It's all right. Listen, I'll talk to you. Just put your feet in. Okay. >> No, it's because this is the strip that I work at, >> right? >> It's going to be okay. >> No, it's not okay. >> It's okay. I know it's tough. >> This is the strip club. >> Why didn't you get sent to this? You weren't doing anything. Wait. >> Officers explain the situation. Security cameras saw the spit. She cries, rambles, and continues protesting like she's on a reality show about unfair clubs. >> Do you mind if I tell him to stay? >> Yeah, I'll I'll roll down the window so you can talk to him. Okay, just hop in. >> Wait, wait, wait. Make sure that he stays. >> I will. I will. Just you got to get in. >> Okay. Okay. >> Wait, but this is Wait, can I talk to you? >> Yeah, just give me a second. You got to put your feet in. She spit on an employee. So she not anymore. I almost took your car just to piss you off. >> Huh? >> That's not a good car. >> No, it's not. I tried to I was using it the other day and I thought it was just going to blow up on me. >> They're going to go look at the cameras. I don't know who she's spit on. She spit on somebody. Police mentioned she might get a notice to appear instead of jail, but she keeps panicking, talking over them, and generally treating the arrest like a group chat she wasn't ready to join. >> What's your last name? >> Five out of >> What's your last name? >> It's okay. You got to breathe. You got to breathe. All right. I'm going to try to see if I can let you out with an NTA. All right. Which means you don't even have to go to California. >> No, they're mad at my >> I know. I know. Since you worked here. >> No, this is where I work. I work at a big house. They're just mad at me cuz I'm staying here. >> Mhm. >> They're mad cuz I'm not leaving. But it's really not no big deal because my driver said he'll take me home and it's not a big deal. They're just mad cuz I won't leave. [clears throat] >> Okay. What's your last name? >> The real kicker. A customer paid $300 for a VIP lap dance that allegedly [snorts] never happened. Instead, he claims she slapped him and walked off. Ouch. And ouch again. >> You got to breathe. >> Okay. So, who's your Uber driver? Because he just took off with your purse and >> nobody wants to press charges. The guy that Venmoed you or cashed you $300 just wants his $300 back and then you'd be good. >> What? >> Yes. He wants his $300 back. He said that you didn't give him a laugh dance. >> No. No. He is not getting no. >> She refuses to return the money, insisting she did the dance and that the customer tipped $200 anyway. >> No. Okay. >> No, he's not getting his $300 back. >> Okay. Well, then then it's going to be theft. So, >> how is it? He's saying they are saying you need to listen to me. They are saying that you never gave him a lap dance. You slapped him in the face after you got the money BACK AND THEN YOU LEFT. OKAY. And then you spit on somebody. Nobody wants to press charges about you spitting on or hitting somebody. But now we've got the guy that wants the $300 back. And I don't know where your Uber driver's at. >> So, do you know his name? >> My phone so I can call. It was in the purse and he took your purse. What kind of car does he drive? What's his name? Who is he? How did homie just literally leave with his per No, no, no, no, no. Okay. No. >> What's his name? >> This is not good. >> Yeah, I'm aware of that. His name is God. >> He did not give me $300. He gave me $300 and I took him to a VIP of 15inut a 15minute which is which is a 15 minute which is $100. He tipped me $200 which is $300. He tipped me that much. He gave me that much and that's how much he gave me. I don't give a he says that >> her Uber driver, aka her contact in her phone, took off with her purse and phone, leaving her unable to refund the cash. No contact info, no ride, just chaos. >> Is how much he gave me. I don't care. >> Stop yelling. All right. >> No, but I don't care. >> Stop yelling. I'm trying to listen to you. >> Okay. I'm trying to listen to you. I need you to calm down. Who is your Uber driver >> memorized? >> In my No, it's in my phone. >> What kind of car does Todd drive? >> I don't remember. >> Does it say Uber on his vehicle? >> I don't know. >> Is he through Uber? >> Do you have my Do you have any my information? >> No, I don't. I was going to go back and get your purse and you took off with your purse. Do you mind if I call my mom? >> Do you have her her number memorized? >> I don't have your phone. >> Can you go check the parking lot? Todd, >> what's he driving? >> I She doesn't know. >> It's like a silver Chevy, I guess. >> Is it a truck? >> No. >> No, it's like a It's like a >> motor. >> Oh my gosh. Yeah, they're saying that you took him into the VIP room and then we're only in there for 2 minutes. >> So, we're trying to access cameras to see what time you went in there and what time you left. I'm more >> officers try to verify camera footage while she panics, apologizes, and pleads innocence. Only the $300 customer seems invested enough to press charges. >> Worried right now about your purse and stuff. It was hot. >> Yes. No. No. I don't know. Listen, I don't even know what is going on. I just need to I just is on Facebook. >> I don't know. I just have him through my phone. I'm >> like on the Uber app or what? Or just >> I'm not even sure. I just have him on my phone. I just I just need to >> I I know, but he just took off with your things. >> I don't I don't even know what to do. >> I don't understand why. >> I'm not even a bad person. >> I don't I don't think you're a bad person. >> Be arrested. I'm >> I'm trying to work with you. >> I'm so sorry for what I did. I >> I know. I'm trying to work with you. I know. You got to You got to calm down. You got to calm down. >> No, cuz I'm supposed to be arrested. >> It's okay. Officer Taylor will come and talk to you and calm your nerves because you know her. I don't know what I'm doing. I got nobody that wants to be a freaking victim right now except for Home Slice who didn't get his lap dance for 15 minutes and wants his money back. She can't. >> Police warn her she could face theft charges if the dance didn't happen. She cries and says the money is in cash app but can't access it without her missing phone. >> Give the money back because her phone and stuff's gone. So if they can provide proof that she didn't provide the services, then I'm going to have to send her for that instead of her getting her spitting on somebody. >> I'm not making anybody press charges. Thanks though. >> No, the one guy that got hit on said that he wasn't pressing charges. He said he pressed charges and nothing happened to him. So, he can't press charges. >> Whoever she spit on isn't around. That's not getting pressed charges. And then the guy that gave her 300 bucks, they're providing proof that she wasn't in there for 15 minutes. She can't provide the money back to him. So then he's going to press charges. >> I have the money in my purse. Stop. Stop. I will. I HAVE THE MONEY IN MY PURSE. I WILL PROVE IT. >> I will prove it. I have the moneygan. have it. No, that is a lie. I have it >> I have it. I swear I prove it. >> No, I have it. I have it. You have to believe me. I have it. I will show you guys. I have the money in my I have the money in my cash app. I will prove you guys. Please, if I show you guys, can I please go? I have it. I have the proof. >> Yes, he's saying that you have the money and he wants it back because you did not provide the dance to him. >> No, because he wanted to me and I wouldn't do it because he wanted to me and I told him it was only a dance and he wanted to me but I told him I wouldn't do it. >> Morgan, you got to calm down. >> Have the money back. I wasn't going to for it. I wasn't going to you. >> Well, your phone isn't here because your driver took off with it. >> Okay. Can I text my Can I text my driver? >> You don't know his number, Morgan. >> Can I call my number? >> We already did. It went straight to voicemail. >> I don't I don't know what to do. No. No. That's not true. No. No. No. No. No. No, that's not true. No, that is not true. I gave him the dance. You have to believe me. I gave him the dance. That's not true. I didn't understand. >> This was my second arrest within an hour. >> Good job. >> I literally handcuffed a guy to a door the door handle on my first arrest. >> Because I wasn't trying to fight him by myself and then he's like, I just want my Sig. So, I just handcuffed him to the door. >> What? >> I was just waiting on my backup and I was like, "If I don't have to fight this dude, here have your sick." Handcuffed him to the door and went and talked to the victim. >> She was charged with battery and theft. She continues denying wrongdoing claims the customer requested, acts she refused, and generally makes this her second chaotic arrest of the hour. Ultimately, she's charged with battery and theft because apparently reality doesn't pause for drama. Failing to take responsibility and keeping emotions unchecked can escalate minor incidents into criminal charges. Always stay calm, communicate clearly and resolve disputes before they spiral out of control. That thief thought they had it all figured out, but the next one even sneakier.

That's a felony. >> Okay. Um, so that this is like a opportunity just to squash it right here if you have it like hidden in your garments or anything like that. Okay. All right. Uh, you That's why I didn't see you. Okay. cross shot 34 on a black Indiana. >> You good? >> All right. Since the handbag's value, $448, crosses the threshold in many states like Florida for grand theft felony rather than petty theft, it's likely she was ultimately charged with a felony theft offense. Stealing high-V value items can quickly turn a petty theft into a felony with serious consequences. Prior convictions only make matters worse, leading to harsher penalties and fewer chances for leniency. Think the last move was bold. This one's on another level.
