No. >> The woman pleads with officers not to jail her boyfriend, saying she only stole socks and some clothes because she had nothing to wear. She begs for mercy, explaining their desperate situation. You answer that question. I don't do that deeply. I just want to go home, please.

He made an adult decision. >> What did he do? >> I asked him to back away from the door. >> What did he do? Please get out. >> I refuse to do that. >> Please. Please. That's all I got. That's all I got. Please. That's all I got. Never took nothing from me. I never said nothing. >> Officers show empathy, but stress that being homeless doesn't justify theft. They explained she could have only received a citation if she'd cooperated, but her and her boyfriend's behavior made it worse. >> Only Christmas for me. That's the only princess for me. Please. >> Yeah. Please. [laughter] >> Please. >> He does. >> Yeah. >> Please. >> Good. How are you? >> You know, I have nowhere to go. >> Okay. >> We don't have nothing of clothes.

I just took some songs. I need a song. >> Still theft. Why are we going to jail? Sir, why are we going to jail? >> The officer reflects that he knew she had stolen goods when stopping her, but wanted to resolve it peacefully. Her warrant and the boyfriend's resistance, however, made that impossible. >> So, I I I've been dating people for a long time. I know you probably been dating him for a while. So, I'm pretty sure that he knew that you stole the stuff. It's It's neither here nor there, right? But, however, you should have told him when I stopped you at the door and I told you, "Let's not do all this. Let's just go back inside, right?" Because I've been doing this for a long time. So, when I stop you, I already know you have it. I'm not going to stop the wrong person. And then I'm talking to you with common sense, like, "Let's just go back inside. Let's handle this cuz I already know I'm just going to give you a ticket and you're going to go. Now, in your case, you have the warrant. So, you know, there's really nothing that I can do per se, but if we had went a different route, you might have been able to walk out of here and go take care of the warrant on your own. See what I'm saying? So, >> that's fine. But listen, that's besides the point of what I'm talking about. That's what other people are doing. I'm talking about your behavior and his behavior. I understand that uh whose car she wanted. >> Okay. >> Who's taking him? >> Okay. >> 200 [ __ ] bro. >> You say you taking both them together? >> Y'all going to write down together? Okay. So, >> uh, she has a warrant. >> Um, >> okay. All right. Well, I I didn't know. Um, >> I'm sorry, too, bro. I ain't going to lie. I'm be real. I'm sorry. >> I appreciate that. He knows, bro. He the same one who pulled up, bro. Was that over there, bro? >> What we talking about? He'll be straight talking. >> All right. He's going to put you in his car. >> [ __ ] >> Hold on. Wait. Wait. Hold on. Wait. Hold on. Right. Y'all going in the same car. >> Oh, I take the same car. >> You say you going to take them together. >> Yeah, you want you don't want to take that. You >> So it's not that. But normally our policy states that males and females get transported separately. So that's why you want to check her again before I put it in. >> I don't riding in the same car. >> Yes. All right. One second. Okay, have a seat. Just watch your head. >> The woman arrested for an existing warrant and shoplifting. The man charged with resisting arrest.

I It was nothing but soap powder. >> So, we should just let you go after you commit crime. >> I didn't do nothing. I don't want I just want to take your word that you undid the crime. >> Yeah. Listen, that's not how it works. >> Can I tell y'all this? I had soap powder. He called me with the salt powder. I gave it back. >> As for the stolen items, it wasn't clear whether she still had them. According to the employee, the woman had a gun and threatened to use it.

Okay. >> Sorry, I was talking to you. You just pulled off, so >> she was extremely uncooperative, repeatedly trying to talk to the people she'd come with. Despite having stolen items and an active warrant, she refused to believe she was going to jail. >> So, what are you guys wanting to have done? >> Uh, I don't want her banned from the property. >> You don't want her prosecuted? Nothing? >> Um, we got everything back. I mean, but the biggest thing, the reason I called started calling you guys was cuz she said she's had a gun. She said that she was going to put to her head, shoot us in the face. Like, I mean, she started going off on us in here. So I was like, "No, I ain't dealing with this." >> And she said that when you guys tried to stop her from stealing. >> Yeah, she said that back there when she was still in the store. >> Okay. You guys don't want her prosecuted. You're lost. >> You guys will probably get half the song here. Sounds like this could possibly a robing stuff up and they go to tell her to get out. She's like, "I got a gun. I'm going to put it to your head." And then she takes merchandise and walks out the store. They got some of it back. There's still pods in her purse. She had both in her purse. >> Yeah, >> she dumped the one out and I caught her in the process trying to open the second one. >> While the officer spoke with the employee, the woman pleaded for mercy, saying she had a daughter and no one else to care for her. >> You have the right to remain silent. Do you understand that, right? >> What do I need arrest for? >> At the very minimum, theft. >> I'mma pay for it. I'm going past that point thing in my pocket to go home with my daughter. I'm sorry. I don't want to ask. Okay, I'm going to read this to you cuz I'm going to ask some questions for you. Okay, we're going to have a conversation. >> Oh, yeah. >> Okay. So, what happened today? >> Nothing. I don't know what I was thinking. I Something was already winning. I went in there and grabbed some ties, some some soap powder. I didn't know he was going to see me. I ain't going to lie. I didn't know he was going to see me. And when he seen me, he said, "Can I have my ties back?"

Then I mean if she then [snorts] there's another option we can take trying to save you from that.

On January 31st, 2024, officers in West Palm Beach responded to a call about retail theft at a Ross clothing store. But as they arrived on scene, it quickly became clear that this wasn't going to be just another routine encounter. Unlike the usual mix of smoothtalking liars and seasoned felons they were used to dealing with, this case took a surprising and unexpected turn. classes and put the basically underin so discounts and then also underin the manner of like let's say I want this shirt or this pants I'm going to scan a random item that's like 99 cent or 49 cent for that item um passing merchandise is not scanning it putting it in the bag >> that video of it >> yeah yeah everything everything's already so the total she admitted to was 12.92 94 cent I also had her for cash Yeah, she can. I had her for a cash shortage from before last year, >> but I can't. But I was able to add to the case value >> as well. So, >> she's back here. >> Yeah, she's back. >> She knows you guys called us. >> So, I have all of the transactions where the loss occurred or the losses occurred. >> And then there, like I said, she admitted to >> you have videos and everything on on the disc. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got it on the thumb drive and then she admitted to the cash. We don't have video of that cuz >> to it today, just now. >> Yeah. Did you do a statement? >> Yeah, >> written statement. >> Yeah, >> I'll just take you out and then I >> show them to you. She's really cooperative. >> This might have been one of the easiest cases to crack ever. The store had already gathered all the evidence needed for a solid conviction. And to top it off, the suspect openly admitted to everything. It seemed like a slam dunk arrest. But despite how straightforward it appeared, the officer still had a job to do. Hear the suspect's side of the story before making any final moves. >> You also pass off items the property. So the ones highlighted is what you guys lost. >> Yeah. On here and right here is the items that she deleted. Not necessarily lost. >> Where's everything you guys lost total? >> That's what I'm trying to explain. Like it's a little bit more complicated. So unless you want to get like put for each transaction how much? But basically you add this up is a certain amount plus adding this up is a certain amount. So I have that need to write that down. >> Is this one incident? >> Yeah. Each one of these is one incident. It's nine separate transactions. So basically it's a mixture of stuff. So this one, she item deleted stuff and then didn't scan stuff. This is the property receipt of the stuff that she didn't scan. Same thing here. Item deleted a bunch of stuff. Obviously still left with the stuff. These are the stuff that she didn't actually. And then in one of the transactions, this is just discounts that she gave out under ringing. Once again, items that were deleted versus items that she just didn't scan. And in this transaction in particular, she basically scanned the same 49 cent uh skew here for a random item. These are all of the items that she ended up putting in the bag. But as you can see, everything's like 49. >> Basically, this cashier turned out to be a real life. You know that viral image of Spongebob sprinting away from a selfch checkckout after scanning a flat screen tea v as a pack of gum. Yeah, this was the real world version of that. Except this time it wasn't just internet humor. It actually happened and the suspect got caught red-handed. So every single time it was involving another customer, it wasn't by herself organized. >> And during the interview, she said she just met the lady, the lady. Yeah, it is unfortunately. And then the lady apparently gave her money. >> So she admitted to all >> except for her. That's >> Yeah, that was just her. She said she $100. >> Honestly, in the grand scheme of retail crime, this cashier was just a small cog in a much bigger fraud machine. Professional shoplifters, often known as boosters, frequently recruit low-level retail employees like her to help pull off their scams. >> Multiple times. The first time was like in November, and she had um a bunch of home stuff and she wanted discounts on so I [music] just gave her discounts. >> You know what I'm saying? >> Oh man, she was doing great until she claimed not to know the customer's name. Really? She expected cops to believe she'd commit fraud for a total stranger. bad move. >> And yeah, with the lady I kept giving her like response. So >> absolutely. >> So you're going to free stuff to somebody you don't know their name. I mean, you're you're already confessing to it, so you might as well just be truthful through the whole thing. >> I am being truthful. >> I'm going to risk your life and your your future somebody you don't know. >> I'm serious. You want to check? >> I don't know her. I don't know her name. >> I don't. >> Does she call you ahead of time like, "Hey, I'm coming in." >> This her number. I don't know her. >> So, how do you guys organize it? She calls you or you call her? She just comes in. >> This cop's definitely going to need bigger boots. He's kneede in BS. That's not how these scams work. It's all planned out like a shopping list. >> She's saying that she has like a trip and stuff like that. She be buying stuff. So, I guess in return, I just get her free stuff. >> To avoid leaving a paper trail, the mystery buyer pays the cashier in boosted merchandise instead of cash stuff she can either use or resell. >> She would bring up items that she >> Oh, yeah.
