The charge falls under retail theft since she passed all points of sale with unpaid merchandise, even if she claimed it was a mistake. Trying to excuse theft by calling it a mistake doesn't erase the fact that passing all points of sale is still shoplifting. Even small acts of dishonesty can lead to criminal charges, embarrassment, and a permanent record. What an unyielding shoplifter. The next shoplifter will react much more violently, so keep an eye out. Tell tell her tell her to stop resisting. Tell her if she cares about her child, tell her to stop resisting. >> On September 7th, 20123, patrolman Ryan Spar of the Eatontown Police Department responded to a call from a Target store regarding a shoplifting incident. When he arrived, he was met by an employee from the store's asset protection team, ready to explain what had happened. >> 540, I think. She has no ID. Um, that's it. Email. She only speaks Spanish, though. I don't speak Spanish. >> I don't I uh I have a guy in there that's translating for me. I uh obviously she didn't conceal it. She just put it in the car. >> Some of it she did. Yeah. All right. All right. Cool. So, that's her name, Mary Ling. Yeah. >> Mhm. >> Okay. >> All right. >> The suspect was introduced to Officer Spar as Mary Ling, but without an ID and unable to speak a word of English, verifying her identity became a real challenge. >> She have an ID anywhere in the state. United States? >> No, she didn't have an ID. anywhere in the United States or just in Germany. >> Uh, let me >> It's at home. And >> what state is it? >> New Jersey. >> It's from New Jersey. >> Yeah, >> we'll find it. So she concealed some and put some in the cart. >> Yeah. So most of it was just was just in the cart. She just went around the registers, went over to Starbucks, bought a drink, and then just tried to walk. >> Yeah. So then I stopped her actually like almost on the sidewalk. >> The woman claimed she had a New Jersey ID but had conveniently left it at home. Still with a name and a state to work with the officers now had enough to verify her story. Whether she truly didn't speak or understand English was hard to determine. >> You just ask her if she has anything else on her from the store. Okay. From Target. >> Yep. >> Target. >> No. >> She says no. >> Does she have anything in her bag or in that bag that's sharp that's going to stick me or stab me or poke me or anything like that? I'll go see. >> She says no. Nothing sharp. >> She's under arrest. Okay. >> Okay. [Music] no tax. >> She says she's one week away or um you know from giving birth and she's pregnant. >> Okay. Well, if there's any medical emergencies or anything like that, we could take her over to the hospital and have her checked out by medical professionals, but there's no medical emergency right now. So, that doesn't play a factor in what's going on here. >> When the officer searched her bag, they discovered several unpaid items, including a breast pump and baby clothes. Sadly, instead of putting her child first, she chose deception. >> Stand up. >> Stand up. Let's go. Stand up. >> Come on. No. >> Can you make your way over to the target, please? >> Stand up. >> We're done for. >> One, two. >> Come on. Thank you. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. >> The quicker. The we go. The quicker. [Music] She said um if you could just charge her or you know give her a ticket to do it. No, >> we have to do it. >> Okay, let's go. >> She just keeps saying you want to pull what you said. What did you say? Do you want to pull the car a little? >> Like right up here. Tell Tell her Tell her to stop resisting. Tell her if she cares about her child, tell her to stop resisting cuz I'm we're really trying to be gentle here. [Applause] Come on. Let's go for it. Okay. >> She said she >> stand up. >> No. >> No. >> Come on. I'll come back. >> After being processed, officers uncovered the truth. She had given them a fake name all along. Her real identity was revealed as 25-year-old Maris Ernestina Velasquez. In order, she was again arrested for shoplifting roughly two weeks later at the very same target. Lying about your identity only makes a bad situation worse. Honesty could have spared her from even heavier consequences. But this is still not the worst case. Just wait until you see this next one. >> Stop running right now. We're done. >> What the hell was that? >> We're done. What's the hose there? >> Get on the ground. Stop it. >> On 23rd April 2025, police initiated a pursuit of two female shoplifting suspects who sped away in a vehicle. >> Girls, ain't no 317.

She bolts again, ignoring repeated commands. >> Heading that way now. >> What was she wearing? >> Wearing dark clothing. Start setting up the perimeter.

Don't move. Don't move. >> Please don't hurt me. >> No one's going to hurt you, man. You don't do anything stupid. Nothing stupid's going to happen.

Probably going to be trespass officer. >> The officer then heads over to the location of the second suspect, the one in the blue shirt, who had crashed his vehicle while trying to make a getaway. What started as a chaotic flight was now about to become a second arrest. >> Got him. >> No, not that. Not this guy. >> This guy. And then he hopped in the car and took off. But at least I got his tag number and everything. >> Yep. >> Wonder where this guy went. He's a big guy. Um, [Music] >> no. That would be a ticket. Charges stack up. The red shirt suspect faces felony theft and resisting or obstructing without violence arrest. The total bond is $3,500. However, a third male suspect in a blue shirt successfully escapes and is still on the run. Remember not to be misled by sensational footage. Despite wild incidents like this, national crime data from early 25 shows overall crime rates at historic lows thanks to proactive law enforcement efforts. >> Turn around. >> Why are you doing that? >> Turn around. >> Why are you doing that? >> On July 23rd, 2023 in Washington, police were dispatched to a Costco to investigate a potential shoplifter who had reportedly threatened an employee with a gun. According to security camera footage, the 33year-old woman became agitated when asked to show her receipt before leaving the store. >> What did you do after she pointed at you? >> I backed off. I called my manager. She came over here. >> 2015 PC installed, too. >> So, yeah, she went over there and we saw him pull her out of the car um and take her down over there. So, >> I'm the one. >> Okay. Sir, you guys have like uh footage of the where it happened? >> Should Yes. >> Okay. >> Say this. It happened right in front of this camera. So, down. >> Where where where in the parking lot was it? >> Right here is when she approached me right when she waved in my face. >> She loaded her car up right there in the first stall >> where the key is. Yeah. Perfect. >> That's when I went to her find out what was going on and >> Okay. >> Yeah. She went off on him and I was just stand uh he's got so I was just standing nearby just to protect him. >> Okay. Come in there to look at the video footage with you. >> I can stay with him. >> Okay. I'm going to go in there and take the video footage with him. You want to take a statement? >> Yeah. Just Yeah. >> Yeah. She pointed the gun at you. Correct. >> Yeah. He He saw it in her basket at the only point. >> After reviewing the footage and identifying the suspect as a woman named Bianca, officers quickly realized this wasn't your average shoplifting case. She drove a gray Mercedes-Benz, hardly the ride you'd expect from someone desperate for petty theft. It begged the question, why would someone who could afford a luxury car risk at all stealing from a discount store? >> Get out of the vehicle with your hands up >> to a high risk to the north of U-Haul. >> She is not being compliant. >> Exit the vehicle with your hands up. I don't have anything. >> Exit. Turn around and walk back towards me. >> I'm not being detained. >> Walk back towards me. >> Walk back towards me. >> I'm not here in the street. >> I'm not walking back. >> Who else is in that car? >> Nobody's in the car. >> Get on your knees. >> I'm not getting on my >> Get on your knees. >> You can come to me. I'm not >> Get on your knees right now. >> I'm not getting on my knees. >> Turn around then. >> I'm not doing that either. >> Turn around. >> I'm not doing that. >> I'm not here to hurt you. You can't feel my energy. I'm not here to hurt you. >> So, what's going to happen? Cuz you're not being non-compliant. You're going to get taken to the ground hard. >> Why? I'm not. Turn around and walk back towards me. >> I'm not doing that. I'm going to grab my phone. >> Keep your hands up now. >> I'm going to grab my phone. >> Turn around now. >> I'm not even being aggressive. >> Turn around. >> Why are you doing that? >> Turn around. >> Why are you doing that? >> As expected, Bianca wasn't exactly cooperative. Instead of following the officer's commands, she decided to do things her own way, forcing him to act quickly. During the struggle to detain her, his body cam was knocked off, but the audio kept rolling. In the background, you can clearly hear Bianca protesting her arrest, adding to the chaos of an already tense situation. >> On the ground, put your hands behind your back. >> Why did you have to do all that when I was just standing there talking to you? That's wild. >> Watch her. She's slipping it. >> I'm not flipping anything. >> Stop it. Stop trying to get your hand out. >> Why would I do that? >> Stop. Just take a deep breath, mother. Yo, >> everything's being >> I don't care about that. With the help of backup officers, Bianca was eventually brought under control and detained. However, she didn't go down without a fight. She kept resisting, twisting her arm in an attempt to slip out of the handcuffs, all while repeatedly claiming that the officers were hurting her. >> I'm going to be like this now because I've been tackled to the ground. I have a spinal cord injury and I just rolled my ankle. I'm in pain. >> So then relax your body for me then. >> Can you stand me up then? This is ridiculous. We got to fix the >> It's always right. It's so >> I know we keep trying to take your hand out the >> handcuffs. I need listen listen. If you take your hand out of handcuffs, you will get tased. Do you understand me? >> Do you understand what I'm saying? >> Do you understand what I'm saying? >> Do you understand what I'm saying? >> If you take your wrists out of your handcuffs, you will get tased. >> I can't take my hand. You were trying. I just tightened. >> I was not. I was turning my wrist. I'm just letting you know. You were turning it in the opposite direction because that's how it's supposed to be. >> Please, please, give me a second. Please give me a second. Please give me a second. Cuz y'all hurt my back. Yo, >> that's what I'm saying. >> No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. You're good. >> Oh my god. My back. Oh my god. >> Would you rather lay on your side? >> No. Or you rather go into a car? >> I want to get in my car and go home. Although the woman claimed she was in significant pain, she refused to cooperate with officers in any way that might have eased her discomfort and even turned down medical treatment when it was offered. What was truly remarkable though was her audacity to ask to be let go without any consequences despite clearly resisting arrest both physically and verbally. >> Resisting the entire time. >> No, I wasn't arrested any statements. Okay, >> you hear me? >> It wasn't entirely unreasonable for her to ask why she was being detained. After all, during their confrontation outside the car, the officer never clearly stated the reason. Most likely, he avoided mentioning the shoplifting at that point because they couldn't be 100% sure they had the right suspect just yet. >> Let's actually We need to search her. >> Go ahead. >> Okay. Can you face the swag? >> What do you want me to do? >> Face the swag. piece of widen your stance for us. There you go. >> You have anything in your bra? You have anything in your bra? Do you have anything in your bra? >> Don't touch my my stones. You're touching my stones. >> I'm removing your stones. I'm not touching them. >> No, you don't you don't have to remove them to search. I do remove. >> You're going to be booked into jail and they won't let you have them. >> That's crazy. >> Everything will go with you, though. >> That's crazy. My >> I have dogs at the house. >> I have dogs. I have animals. I have animals. I have food in my car. uh for no reason. >> Once again, the woman played the victim trying to guilt the officers for arresting her by bringing up other obligations she supposedly had. But her narrative of being an innocent bystander quickly fell apart, especially when the Costco manager, the very person who called the cops, clearly stated otherwise. In >> the car, at that point, she told me to get the back, you know, get the f back. Um that I didn't bow down to her when I was approaching her and that she knows the truth. At that point, I told her that I was there to help her, and she still told me to get the f back. And that was when she pulled out a gun and set it on top of the car. And at that point, I called the police. >> Did she shoplift or not? >> So, there's >> no she she bought her stuff, but she was upset because she didn't want to show her receipt, which everybody had. Bianca managed to escalate what could have been a simple shoplifting investigation one she might not have even been guilty of into a full-blown assault case complete with additional charges for obstructing justice. Despite it all, she continues to claim innocence while completely disregarding the fear and trauma she caused the Costco employees during the incident. >> Here's your name. >> You tried to pull your hand out of your handcuffs. We can't let you do that. >> No, I didn't. Why are you lying? You can't listen. >> Everything's on video. You can't tell me what I was trying and not trying to do. >> And then you're stepping on my toes. >> Oh, I love you. I love you. >> Okay, get in. >> I love you. God don't like ugly. God don't like ugly. >> Swing your feet in. >> God don't like ugly. >> God don't like ugly. Yahweh don't like >> If God doesn't like ugly, he definitely wouldn't be a fan of Bianca's attitude toward the officers. From the start, she escalated the situation far beyond what it needed to be. so focused on defending her innocence, she didn't seem to realize her or care that the officers had already reviewed the security footage and knew exactly what had happened. >> It's in a holster. It looks like it's in a holster. >> It's But still, it doesn't matter. >> I can't even >> cuz she didn't even see. She did like a David Copperfield. >> Bianca was ultimately prosecuted for a single felony count of assault with a firearm, though the charge had the potential to be downgraded to a misdemeanor. Body cam footage confirmed that while she did unholster her gun, she never actually aimed it at the employee. Under Washington state law, it's illegal to brandish a weapon in public. But because Bianca used it solely as a means of intimidation without pointing it or causing physical harm, she avoided the more serious felony charge. Denying the truth won't change the evidence, especially when it's caught on camera. A bad attitude only makes a bad situation worse. What an unyielding shoplitter. The next one will react much more violently, so keep an eye
