We can't give you the money. I didn't pay for it. >> It's up to them. >> Oh my god. >> What did I do wrong? Can you please watch the tape? I didn't scan anything at all. >> Whether it's immaturity or misplaced confidence, some minors believe they can take whatever they want without consequences. But what happens when law enforcement gets involved and the reality check hits hard? >> Majority of it. And she took like 10 items and walked out with the basket. >> I did not take you. You could see on the camera. I didn't take anything. >> All right, please. Please charge. >> Okay, but I can't do this. >> These were the moments when entitled miners thought they could legally shoplift, but it backfired. [music] We begin with what should have been a simple Walmart run until two women insisted nothing was stolen and officers quickly began uncovering a very different story. >> I literally didn't steal anything. >> I've never been nothing like this. I've never been to jail. I've never saw anything in my life. This is my last time before I put you in handcuffs. Give me the purse and everything and get in the back of the car. >> She wanted my friend. >> On June 12th, 2023, officers were dispatched to a local Walmart after staff reported a possible theft. Two young women insisted they hadn't stolen anything, claiming stress, confusion, and personal struggles. >> You're stealing. What do you mean? Why? I'm not trying to put you in a handcuff, but let's go. That's up to him. You guys aren't complying with them. >> Come on, let's go. >> I literally didn't steal anything. >> She just said y'all passed the last point of entry. So technically y'all >> we can't give you the money. We just I can play. >> It's up to them. >> Come on. Please, please, please. >> I've never been nothing like this. I've never been to jail. I've [laughter] never saw anything in my life. This wasn't a thing. Like, we literally have so much going on. Our dad is going to [ __ ] surgery. My mom bust [laughter] her [ __ ] head open. It's a lot right now right now. That's why we're staying with a friend. And we have not literally got up to go shopping for brunches or did anything because they're just going for stuff. >> That's up to y'all. Understand? >> When officers made contact, the women appeared anxious, insisting they had only come for groceries. But almost immediately, inconsistencies began to surface. They spoke of family issues, injuries, [music] and moving between homes. Yet, the story didn't add up. Crossing the last point of sale without paying and conflicting statements set the stage for a confrontation that would quickly escalate. >> So, let's go. >> We're going to jail. I thought, >> can you come on? Like, y like that's Can I please get attention? >> I don't have any. >> This is why we're going to the car. >> Please. >> No, we're going to the car. Then we can have all the conversation you want to have. Please, >> can we please go? >> I'm not trying to put you in handcuffs. >> I'm literally going to feel anything though. I was just standing there the whole time. Sir, >> please. >> You got everything illegal on you? >> No. Please. >> Face the car. Let me pat you down real quick. >> My god. >> What did I do wrong? Can you please watch the tape? I didn't scan anything on >> sir. Wait. >> Look, I'm really trying to be nice with you. Give me your purse and everything. Okay. >> Can I please go get my sister? Can you walk with me? >> No, I'm trying to be nice. >> Okay, let me just go tell my mom. >> You're not calling nobody at this time. This is an investigation. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. >> So, get in the car. Give me the purse and get in the car. >> Wait, can you tell me what's going to happen at least? >> Look, this is my last time before I put you in handcuffs. Give me the purse and everything and get in the back of the car. Okay. >> Give me that. >> Okay. >> That too, please. As officers escorted one of the girls toward the patrol car, she became increasingly upset, pleading and crying, insisting she hadn't done anything wrong. After a brief search and securing her belongings, she was placed in the back of the patrol car as the situation continued to escalate. >> Have you had your Miranda rightites read to you before? >> Yes. >> Okay, I'm going read your Miranda rights. You had a right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer or have him present with you while you're being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish. You can decide at any times to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand each of these rights I've explained to you? >> Yes. >> Having these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me at this time? Do you wish to speak to me about this time? What happened? >> No. >> I have a question. >> It's a yes or no. How you going to You can't ask me a question without asking without saying yes. >> Yes or >> no. So, you would like to talk to me at this time? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> I just have a question for you. >> What was your intentions when you came into the store? >> My intention was to get groceries and go home. >> So, why you guys So, what happened in between that time and y'all trying to walk out the door? No, when we were getting the groceries, the lady kept coming up to us. I told you I got a lot going on. I'm not paying attention. I'm just put She putting the [ __ ] in the cart. I'm Okay, cool. Like, we just want to get the groceries, go home. We got an appointment at 6:40. Our intentions was to never steal. You can look at her purse. We got money. We have money. We paid with Link. >> So, how do So, why did you guys cross the last point of sale? >> What do you mean? She literally came to our car and said, "Okay, you guys scanned everything." Okay. She was checking our cart. She was, "Okay." And we were like, "Okay, cool." She just kept coming to us and then she was in the baby face. And then it was like a lot going on. And so she was like, "Okay, you guys scanned everything. You're good to go. Have a great day." And we're like, "Okay, cool." Not thinking anything of it. We walk out and the lady stopped us and we were like, she was like, "You guys didn't scan a couple things." And we were like, "What?" We the lady literally just told us that we scanned everything cuz she checked our car before we left. And so we went in the room and she said, "I'm not going to I'm not going to um I'm She said, "I'm just going to let you guys go before the police come and you're just going to get a trespassing pass, a trespassing thing to just go because this is like your first time ever like doing this or something like that." And we were like, "Okay." And then you came and then she said something different. So we're looking at her like but you literally just said that >> you weren't going to call the police. You were just going to let us go and I've never stolen nothing in my life before. I'm not a thief. >> So you never came in the store with intentions of not paying for anything? >> No. I pay for everything. >> I have money. >> I don't need to steal nothing from nobody in my day. >> No. None of us were trying to steal. >> Okay, give me a second. >> Let me go talk to them. >> Once seated, the officer pressed for answers. The suspect insisted she had paid for everything and claimed the clerk had checked their cart, giving them the all clear. But as officers pieced together the events, contradictions became apparent. Each explanation seemed to raise more questions than it answered. The officer then addressed the second girl, but she chose to remain silent, and this was when the air became thick with tension. Never had your Miranda rights right to you before. Um, no. >> Huh? >> No. >> You had a right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You had a right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while you are being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer won't be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish. You could decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand each of these rights I've explained to you? >> Yes. Having these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me at this time? >> No. Okay. Just to let you know, you aren't under arrest for retail theft, >> but I'm going NTA you. Okay. So, that mean you'll have a court date. >> So, you have to be in court. >> So, I can just go home. >> Yes. But you will have a court date to where you'll have to appear in court. >> Why is she going to jail? Literally, >> who? my friend. >> We both were at the register paying for stuff. >> Am I getting arrested on two months? >> Can you hook up the phone? >> But anyways, you both are doing it. >> So, she'll get arrested, too. She'll get NTA, but you will have to appear to court. If you do not appear to court that on the paper that I give you, they'll put a warrant out for your arrest. I'm trying to cut you apart, give you NTA. This is why I didn't put you in handcuffs and I'm not going to send you out. >> Thank you so much. I'm so sorry. >> Don't say sorry to me. Just don't do it again. >> I'm not I'm not a thief. I don't steal. I'm still She just showed me footage stuff like this. >> Don't make the same decision again. Okay. >> The officer explained to the first girl that she was under arrest for retail theft, but she would not be handcuffed. In the end, both women were charged with retail theft and trespassing. A routine shopping trip had spiraled quickly, showing just how fast small mistakes can escalate into serious legal consequences. If you thought a quick trip to the store was harmless, think again. At Target, three teens had turned a simple outing into a carefully planned theft spree, and officers arrived just in time [music] to catch them red-handed. >> You want to tell me what y'all just did? >> Come clean now. We got you on video. >> Did you pay for the items when you left? Did your sister pay for the items when she left? Either of them? >> I think so. >> You know what else? This isn't the first time you guys have done this here, cuz we have video of it. On June 24th, 2023, officers responded to a target after a loss prevention officer reported three teens stealing hundreds of dollars in junk food and household items. Following orders from an older girl, they loaded a cart to the brim. This was their third theft in a week, and what began as a simple trip was about to spiral out of control. >> What are you doing? Pull up. Go to the loss prevention office. >> He's talking to her. >> Okay. No, just keep going. >> Dispatch has been updated. Did they leave the store already? >> He's got one there. We're looking for the other two. >> Pink shorts. Pulling to loss prevention. >> They're out here. Where are they? >> They already got them. >> Yep. I don't know. >> They're straight out this way. >> He's stopped out with one of them. >> Yeah, one of them's right here. The other two are straight out over here. >> Okay. >> Do they take Do they walk out with it? I'll >> pass whole finish. That's what I've been telling. >> All right. >> 29 Delta Echo uniform tango 29 D EU T red Ultima. >> Need y'all step to the back of the car for me. >> 54. Clean up against the car. >> You want to tell me what y'all just did? Come clean now. We got you on video. When officers arrived, they quickly spotted one girl while the other two lingered nearby. The scene left no doubt they had been caught red-handed. Officers moved in, having them step to the back of the car as tension thickened. [music] The oldest girl had orchestrated the entire scheme, directing her younger sisters to grab over $1,100 in junk [music] food and video games. She tried to feain innocence, but the evidence was overwhelming. >> Let's put her on the other side. My jackets here. Let me have that purse. You got anything in here? >> Um, hold on. I'll take it off right now. >> Poke me, stick me, hurt me, any weapons, any drugs? >> I don't I don't mind. >> I don't care. Did I Did you answer my question? >> Okay. >> What What did she say? >> She's a minor. >> It doesn't matter. >> No, you just stole. Doesn't matter. >> Oh, stuck in her hair. There we go. We got one of the team at my location. You understand? >> What's this? >> I don't know. >> You don't know? 53 clear. >> It's really a shame you're so young doing this. Anything else on you that I should know about? Let's see in the vehicle. Watch your head. >> That's information from that one. >> We'll work on that from this one. >> Was that Schmidy or is that uh Gibb? >> Oh, Smith. >> All righty. Well, name, date of birth, see how old she is, see if she's under 18. Let's get parents headed this way. Okay. >> Officers secured the girls, checked for weapons, and placed them in the patrol car. Ages were confirmed and dispatch was notified to contact the parents. Attention then turned to the third girl. Officers confirmed she too was a minor. >> How old is she? How old are you? >> How old are you, too? 21 or 21. >> I feel like they're lying to me this entire time. >> 21's not 21 and then 11 or 12. >> Is that what you're saying? >> No, she's contributing to minor times, too. And then please, >> where's your parents? Mom, dad, whoever. Who's your legal guardian? Mom, where she at? Get home. What's your phone number? >> Yep. >> Um, real quick, I'm going to have her walk over there with you. Is that car? Yep. >> So, I can pull my car over there with you. Go. >> We're going to have court dates on this. See the front of that car up there? >> Right here. Sit on this. We're going to do >> What's your mom's name? >> Regina. >> Mine is Regina. >> What's her mom's name? >> What's your mom's name? >> Regina. >> Every detail mattered. Her age, parents' names, phone numbers, and address. All crucial for what came next. The tension was palpable. This was no longer just a simple mistake. It had become a family affair caught in the act. And the question lingered. How would the parents react when they arrived on the scene? >> You don't take a picture, sir? >> Yeah. I'm going to leave the trunk. >> Okay. Make sure you get a tag. >> Thanks. >> Hey, do they need that stuff before we can get the item? I'm going to be taking her with me if mom's coming. I I'll have the minor. >> Can you just walk over there and I'll hang out with your car? Yeah. Just leave the windows down and it unlocked, please. >> The back window. Thank you. >> Hey. Hey. Hold on. I think so. Okay. I'll let you push this in. I haven't put mine in yet. >> It's going to be >> All right. Hey, well, while you're waiting, started with an arrest report for her. >> Gotcha. Okay. You can start with your narrative. You can start adding her information. You can add their information in, and you can go ahead and start on all that. Okay. Officers documented the car, photographed the trunk, and collected the stolen items. With the teens secured, they began the arrest report, carefully gathering information for court. Loss prevention began piecing things together, and the scope of the situation was far worse than expected. Records revealed the shocking scale of the crimes. >> They're not on that one. She's uh we have one in this car and the other in the other car. So, um we're getting video right now, but they walked out with two a giant shopping cart full of stuff. Not paying for it. just walk right out with it >> with what? >> A giant shopping cart full of a lot of stuff from Target without paying for it and started loading this car up when we >> Mhm. >> She's being arrested. >> That's it. >> For shoplifting and contributing to the delinquency of two minors. >> Okay. >> Um the 15year-old's in here and the 12-year-old is in here. I don't know which one you want to talk to first or if you want to talk up there. What is it you want to do? Essentially, here's here's probably what the way we're going to take this. They're going to be issued NTAs and be released to you. So, they're going to have maybe a court date down the line where they have to answer for what they did, >> right? >> And they may get put in like a diversion program or something like that. I'm not sure that that'll be up to the court to decide. >> I'm sorry. >> Is this your vehicle? It >> is. Okay. >> I'm sorry. >> You know, it's all right. >> I'm just getting well, so I don't need to be out in the rain. >> I understand. >> Go ahead. Go ahead. >> I'm just >> Yes, ma'am. Um, are you familiar with the NTA process here by the county? >> Okay. Um, so with our NTA, essentially what has to happen is they have to admit to what they did. There'll be a small thing written piece of paper. They have to sign it and you have to sign it. It's just a signing saying, "Hey, whatever the court decides, we're going to show up to it and we're going to accept what what happened." >> Okay. >> Um, have they ever been arrested previously for anything like this that you're aware of? Have either of them ever been arrested ever? >> No. >> Okay. So, maybe hopefully this is a wakeup call. Don't hang around with the wrong people and don't do this type of stuff because eventually, >> just so you know, Target says they've been here multiple times and stole m Oh, really? >> So, I mean, obviously, we can't without their video of the other time, but they've recognized them from the stealing before. So, it's happened more than once. So, as a parent, I would want to know as well, >> you know, cuz when they come here on the weekends, they I don't come, you know, like they're still targeting little stuff. But yeah, >> permission to talk to your daughters, ma'am, >> about the incident? Yes, ma'am. I'm asking you if I have permission. Okay. Thank you. >> I don't want to talk to anybody. >> Huh? >> I mean, like, I don't want to talk to my 15-year-old right now. I don't want to talk to my >> You don't have to talk to anybody. I'm just asking if I have permission to speak with them. >> Over three separate trips, the teens had stolen nearly $5,000, repeatedly pushing overflowing carts out of the store without paying. Parents soon arrived attempting to intervene, but video evidence left no [music] doubt. Officers explained the legal process, including possible court dates or diversion programs. What began as [music] mischief had transformed into serious legal trouble. With her rights clear, officers pressed for answers about how the day had unfolded. >> So, you fully understand the Miranda warning and have no questions about it. Correct. >> All right. You want to talk to me, so we're good. Um, so who drove here today? >> I did. >> You did? Whose idea was it to come to Target today? >> Nobody's really. >> You guys didn't have plans to come here? >> So, how did you end up at Target? We went to the Circle K down the street >> and we was going to go to McDonald's and then we just came here. >> We just came to Target. >> Okay. >> Do you have a job? >> No. >> Have you had a job before? >> Yeah. >> When's the last time you had a job? >> Um last year in like December. >> Last December. About where did you work? >> Boston Wher. >> Boston Whaler. >> Big boat company. >> Yep. Mhm. What did you do there? >> I did um lamination. >> Lamination. Was this in last year in uh this past last Christmas or the Christmas before? >> This past Christmas. >> This past Christmas. How long did you work there? >> For about 6 months. >> About 6 months. Okay. So, you got work for about 6 months then. Got it. And you guys ended up at Target. How old's your sister? Your both of them? 12 and 15. >> 12 and 15. Okay, so they're 12 and 15 years old. >> You know, they're both minors. >> The officer questioned the girl about the day's events. She admitted to driving to Target on a whim, diverting from Circle K with plans for McDonald's. She hadn't worked in months, and her two sisters were just 12 and 15. A casual outing had unraveled into a series of poor choices, exposing the gravity of their actions. The full truth finally came out. And you guys go inside Target. You get a load a shopping cart up, right? >> Not me. But then >> you didn't put one item in that shopping cart. >> I put some items in. >> You put some of those items in. Okay. >> Did you pay for the items when you left? Did your sister pay for the items when she left? either of them? >> I don't think so. >> When you went in and you were pulling items off the shelf, did you plan on paying for those items? >> You did. Mhm. >> So, you went to the checkout and went to check out and scan those items in or did you walk directly out of the store with a shopping cart? >> I didn't have the shopping cart. Who did >> one of my sisters? >> Which one? >> The one in that car. >> Which one? >> Which one of you? >> Walked out of the store with a shopping cart. With no intention to pay. Do you know how much stuff you guys took? $1,185 worth of stuff. You know what that is? That's felony shoplifting. You know what else? This isn't the first time you guys have done this here. Cuz we have video of it other times and your sister told me you guys have done it more than one time. So, you entered a store with no intention to pay and left with almost $1,200 worth of merchandise. Put it in your car, passed all final points of sale with your two minor sisters as your accompllices. How does that sound? Horrible, right? Really bad. One of them 12 years old. Both of them said it was your idea to come here today. >> That's not true. >> Cuz both of them said it. I don't know why they would tell me that. All right. So, you and your sister are going to be placed under arrest for felony shoplifting. You're also going to be additionally charged with contributing to the delinquency of two minors. All three of you are being trespassed from Target, and if you return, you will be arrested. Do you understand? Do you have any questions? No. >> Do you want this window rolled down? You want it up? >> In the end, the teens were charged with felony shoplifting, contributing to the delinquency of minors and trespassing. [music] Next up is the case where officers were dispatched to a Sephora store and immediately noticed two minors moving with purpose, grabbing high value cosmetics, a seemingly harmless shopping trip that quickly spiraled into a felony. >> What's going on? >> So, let me grab my ice. They each selected each selected roller balls. >> What's that? I watch you walk out with a basket in your head. Not me. I dropped it right there. >> She selected items out of a Sephora basket and placed them into her purse. The items that she selected got concealed, okay, by the subject in the ground. >> Can you let the baby come back here so I can see me? Cuz I don't know what's going on. I don't know. >> On January 27th, 2023, officers responded to a Sephora store after two girls were caught stealing thousands in cosmetics. What looked like harmless shopping quickly turned into a felony neither expected. Store security raised immediate alarms. >> Hey, hi there. Good. What's going on? So, let me grab a piston. These two do something. They So, they each selected each selected roller balls. >> Okay. >> And they concealed in her bag majority of it. And she took like probably 10 items and walked out with the basket. >> Okay. >> So, let me grab >> So, this is everything here. >> This is everything that they'll grab a price for. >> Okay. >> So, what's what's going on today? Do you have your IDs with you guys? >> No. >> You don't have any IDs with you? >> I don't. >> What's in your purse? >> Nothing. What's your name? While we're waiting on them, I'm read this to you guys. Okay. You have the right to remain silent, not answer any questions. Any statement you make must be freely and voluntarily given. You guys ever been arrested before? >> Huh? >> I'm ask just asking questions right now. I'm trying to figure out what they have going on here, what the total amount is, what the video shows me. Right now, I'm just talking to you. So, but I have to get that out of the way before we talk about anything. It's just I mean you see TV that's how it works. So >> well we're going to cost it's $1,12. >> Okay. >> No no tax. >> Okay. Okay. So do you have any video of what's going on yet? >> I'll show you. Um >> Okay. >> So just so you guys know that you know due to the price it's like it's like 11. Sorry it's 11. It's 11 11 $2,112. So, we're going to prosecute. >> The girls didn't wander. They moved with purpose, heading straight for high value fragrances. Items were grabbed, concealed, and carried toward the exit. Crossing that line changed everything. That's when officers reviewed footage. >> I watch you walk out with a basket in your hand. >> Not me. I dropped it right there in the >> Once you once you walk past that door, you have stolen. >> Okay. >> The statute of elite reads to temporarily or permanently deprive somebody of the property. >> I didn't see you. You see me? Did Did you honestly >> Okay. I'll answer you. Honestly, >> honestly, I mean, if you want to do me a favor, just hang that up then if we're going to talk. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, you tell me what happened then. >> I mean, as you can see on the camera, I didn't walk out with you. I didn't I didn't You can look on the camera. I didn't. >> You You understand that if you took any selected any items and you put them into the one that she carried out or put it in this purse or anything like that, that means you're acting in concert and you're both you're both guilty of a felony. >> I dropped it on the hill. I dropped it on the floor. I didn't take it. I did not take anything. You could see on the camera. I didn't take anything. When he walked outside, he'll tell you I didn't have anything. Right or wrong? Did I have something? I didn't. I did not have nothing. I didn't I did not have anything. >> Well, right now I do have probable cause to arrest the both of you for felony shoplifting. Okay. I >> Now, this isn't a courtroom. I'm not a lawyer. Neither are you. I'm not a prosecutor. All I am is the is the guy that looks at the video, writes the report, writes down what I see and what they swear to me as a statement. If you want to make a defense, the court isn't time to do that. Okay? >> And I'm not >> right now today, I'm not trying to argue with you. I'm not trying to fight with you. I'm not trying to have any kind of So, so as long as we understand each other in that regard, okay? It's my job to document this. If they give me a sworn statement that says what they saw what they saw, >> then I do what I do. Okay? You understand that, right? One girl claimed she dropped the basket before leaving, insisting she hadn't stolen anything, but the law was clear. Once past the exit, the crime was complete. Denial turned to frustration as officers focused on what cameras had already captured. >> So, do me a favor. I need you both to stand up. Stand up. >> We're going to treat y'all with respect as long No, look. And I'm not disrespecting nobody. I'm not >> He's telling you I didn't take nothing. >> What's that? I'm gonna take a sworn statement from him in a second. And if his sworn statement matches that you don't have anything and you didn't take anything, then we'll go then we'll go from there right now. >> You have chains or >> I got change. >> Watch hands. >> Yeah, I'll go back. >> All right. Just raise your right hand for me. >> Yeah. >> Do you swear affirm everything talk about today's truth? The whole truth. The truth. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, start to finish. What What happened? >> Okay. So, I was on stage. I was on the on the sales floor. >> Okay. Um I saw two subjects enter the store. Um they walk straight directly towards the roller balls. They each select I saw them des selecting multiple grabbing like three four at a time. >> Um I then radio into my supervisor and advised the situation. They um the two girls loaded well one there one of the girls I think with the brown not the one wearing black. The one with the brown had a basket. >> Okay. >> Um and a and a purse. So they each selected and they placed the items into the basket. They walked towards fragrance. They looked around at the testers. Then they walked towards the front door and in that little cubby hole, they um they they well the girl with the brown, she selected the items, >> the one with the shorter hair. >> Yeah. Okay. She selected items out of out of the Sephora basket and placed them into her into her purse while the girl subject in the black stood next to her kind of shielding. >> Okay. Um and um then she just I'm not sure why she just walked out with the basket, but the inside the basket there was like 10 roller balls when she walked out with it. Uh I then approached both of them outside. One went left, one went right. My supervisor came out and I advised my supervisor to follow the one in the last I followed the merchandise. As as she walking back, the one that went right is the one in the brown. Um so I'm sorry. When they Okay. She drops the basket in front of the door and says, "Um, oh, oh, I I I I left it. It's there. It's there." You know, whatever. I'm like, "You still got to come back." So, we walked out of the store with the merchandise. >> And she kind of stood there for a second, I guess, deciding whether she should come back or not. >> And then subsequently, she she ended up they both came back to the office. >> Okay. >> Now, at any point, did you see what happened to the items that were in the basket carried by the one with the long blonde hair? You said the other one was taking items out of her out of her basket, putting it into her bag, >> correct? >> Did you have seen a concealment on the behalf of the other person or she or she was only acting as the shield? >> Acting as a so items that she previously selected, what happened to those items? >> Those items were I guess assuming they were in the basket. >> Okay. >> Yeah. The items that she selected got got concealed as well. >> Okay. >> By the subject in the brown. >> Okay. Um, also I guess she put some in the in in her purse and in the basket as well. >> Okay. >> Um, but like I said, they both acted in concert. I saw them both selecting. They never left each other's side at the same time. >> Okay. >> Um, yeah. >> Okay. >> At this point, evidence spoke louder than words. Security statements confirmed the girls acted as a unit, selecting items, concealing them, and moving together. One held the bag, but legally both were responsible. One of the girls admitted she was already on probation, and panic set in fast. >> Officer, right? >> Yeah. >> I lied. >> You lying? Yeah. >> Okay. >> About my name. >> Oh, cool. >> Who's going to get it anyway? >> Yeah, they going to get it one way or the other. So, I appreciate you being honest. How about you? >> I gave you money. >> All right. What's your real name? >> What's your real last name? >> I'm already on probation. >> Okay. Listen, here's the thing. This is what I told a kid earlier today, and you know this. Own your [ __ ] You >> thing I'm on probation. I got a baby. I can't up. I know I'm doing I'm up about even doing this, >> but I was doing it cuz I don't. >> But here's the thing. There's no getting out of it now, right? So, we're beyond that point of like, hey, like we're already here. It's already involved. So, what's your real last name? >> I didn't even do nothing. I'm just here. This is crazy. >> You realize that come with somebody who's going to steal and helping them select what they want to take and blocking them from you is called acting in concert, right? Even if you take a not a felony amount of items, acting together to do it makes it a felony. >> That means y'all working together. Remember what I told you earlier? >> Mhm. >> That means just like just like all you got to do is bring foil in to try to defeat a security sensor. That makes it a felony, too. >> You see what I mean? >> Mhm. Go ahead. >> Oh my god. Sir, I have a question. >> Go ahead. >> Due to the fact that I'm already on probation, would I have to sit in jail? >> Mhm. >> Probably. Yeah. You got to see a real deal. >> Oh my god. No. No. >> It all depends on what your What are you on probation for? >> I can't I can't I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. You got to see a real Who going to get my baby? I can't do it. >> Ma'am, what are you on probation for? >> Some serious >> some serious [ __ ] >> Mhm. >> Okay. I don't I I'm not going to sit here and sugar coat it and act like I it's everything's going to be all right. I don't know. I don't know. She's She's on probation for probably some other felony stuff. So >> you're in Broward, but it's just like the the charge was here. >> Yeah, it may sting a little bit tonight. >> But that's Listen, >> that's the same thing. >> Oh my god. I They're going to give me 17 years. No, I'm going to run. Please, let me run. Please charge you. >> Okay, but I can't do this. They're going to give me prison tonight. >> No, they're not. Listen, you're going to the very very end. Do you know? Listen, if this if this charge gets dropped, look at me. If this charge gets dropped, then >> I was going to get my baby. >> This girl already don't even want to be in this situation with me. And she was with me. She said she don't even she wasn't with me. So, I'm supposed to go to jail by myself. So, I can't even she's not even going to get my baby. >> I know. But what I'm what I'm telling you is you're going to like the worst possible extreme. And we're not saying we're there yet. All right. We're not even there yet. There's a lot of times these things get downcharged and and dropped and things like that. Okay. So, before we go go to the extreme of the worst focus, I only did it so I can selling perfume so I could be able to pay my bills, bro. Oh my god. >> Thoughts of handcuffs turned into fear of jail time, lost freedom, and a child left behind. Tears followed as she tried to explain [music] herself, claiming the theft wasn't greed. It was desperation. But by then, the outcome was no longer in her hands. Officers then quickly contacted her mother. >> She wants you to take this. Okay. >> So, are they leaving now? >> Nah. Um, it's going it's probably going to be a couple minutes. I mean, they're going to go down. We got to go do paperwork at my at our station and then we'll take him to gun club. So, >> well, they have a bon at least her her mom. I I just had surgery and I have no business carrying her. I have no business getting out here. Okay. >> But you you're going >> this my grandbaby. I ain't nothing going to happen. >> No, no, I know. >> Okay. [laughter] >> But the the other girl told said something about going to somebody else's mama's house. >> I'm worried about Marfield. >> Okay. >> Miss baby right here. >> I'll tell you this. We've talked to her. I guess she's had some stuff going on in the past that she's she that's going to all have to flush out, you know, like that may I she's asking she's asking a bunch of questions if that's going to cause things to get bigger or no bond or bond or whatever. We're like we don't know at this point. We're just going to take her >> y'all. Why you looking at it like it's a bad >> No, I ain't no >> She is asking to see this the little one real quick. >> I'm not going to pull up that. No, ma'am. That was that's my first thing, too. She's concerned. I guess she's on probation for something else. >> That's why I asked, could I talk to her on her phone? She should have her phone back there. Something >> she has her phone back there, but she >> Can y'all can you hold it for her and put on and I'll talk to her right now, but I'm not going to put myself. >> Yeah. So, you got that? Do me a favor. Just step out in the mall cuz it's loud in here. And we'll have her call you. Okay. >> Mom, come back. Come back. >> Listen, they not going to let me come back there with her. >> Could you come back? I'm right here. I said he told me to stay outside the door. >> She said she's outside. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> And now >> here. >> Tell her. Tell her why you want her to come back. >> Can you let the baby come back here so I can see? Cuz I don't know what's going on. I don't know. You know that I have a DC number and I couldn't I don't know if I'm going to go to prison. I don't know what. And I just want to see my baby. >> I can't read this [ __ ] [ __ ] right? >> Yeah, I know. Me, too. >> Yes, he's right here. >> I'm right here. >> Cuz you told me you told me you wanted her to call you before you did anything. So, that's why I'm having her call you. Okay. So, >> I know. You act like I don't know that I don't. I know. Just can you let me see her, please?" >> The girl trembled, unsure if she'd ever see her baby again. Every second stretched as she begged for a moment with her child, trying to calm herself amid mounting fear. Finally, she held her baby for the first time since [music] the arrest. >> You want to pull yourself together for a second before your daughter sees you, okay? You don't want This is This is why we try not to do this, okay? >> You don't. >> If they bring her back here, all right, you got to be strong. You got to be in control tell her you love her. Give her a kiss, right? Okay, >> this is about her right now. It's not even This isn't about you, me, her, nothing, okay? This is about how that little baby's going to see you. Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. Here we go. >> Hey, a little bit. Hey. >> Hi. >> Can you give mama kisses? >> Yeah. >> Don't hold them together. You found Give mommy a hug. >> I love you. Give me a hug. >> Squeeze her arm. Squeeze her hard. >> Give her two arms. Give her two arms. Big hugs. >> Big hugs. >> Yeah. >> Love it. [groaning] again. I again. >> Tears streamed down her face. The chaos momentarily forgotten. Just mother and child clinging to a fragile connection before the weight of court, jail, and probation return. >> So, right now they're they are charging you, but like later on like the charges get dropped. >> No, I'm saying the VOP. >> Oh, BP. >> I'll be at the bond. >> That's going to be on the jail to figure that out. >> Yeah, we don't know that violation. All right. >> All right. Just watch your steps there. >> Slide in for me. Okay. >> Do we have her cell phone? >> Yeah, it's in my >> ma'am. Yeah, you over here. >> Take the car off. >> Sorry. >> We'll sit here and have fun. So, we got to get up for it. >> Huh? Just cuz that's our rules. >> I'm already going to be by myself, but I don't know how much. >> Huh? >> I'm already going to do myself, but I don't know how much. >> Well, y'all are right down together. Okay. >> What's that? >> Yeah. >> Hey, if you need to go to the bathroom or anything, just let us know. You got tissue in there. Okay. And then step aside. All right. >> My truck had a shot for 2 weeks. I was already starting to like rearrange the >> In the end, both girls were officially charged with retail theft totaling $750. Next up is the case where Tampa deputies responded to a Walmart and immediately noticed a tense scene. Two sisters caught on camera resisting officers, turning a routine theft investigation into something far more chaotic. >> Okay. >> I want all the video footage to be shown. >> That's fine. We're going to see how the video footage. So, we're going to take my phone. >> I mean, you're going to see I was trying to grab the bag. Look, I was trying to grab the bag. Yeah. See? Yeah. The bag. >> On March 2nd, 2023, officers responded to a Walmart after two sisters were caught shoplifting. What began as a routine theft investigation quickly escalated, revealing defiance, denial, and a shocking refusal to cooperate. >> You guys got your IDs on you? >> I'm a minor. >> Huh? >> I'm a minor. >> That's fine. Go get your parent out here. She's on her way. Okay. >> All right. Can we get your ID? >> Get your IDs. Come on. >> Make this easier. We can do it the hard way. >> I would just like I'll show you my ID. I know. I'm Trust me, I'm not trying to not comply, but I want all the video footage to be shown. >> That's fine. We're going to see all the video footage. We need to see all of it. >> We're trying to speed this. >> You need to give us IDs or you can throw in handcuffs right now. What do you want to do? >> What is the identify you? >> I want to wait for my parent to get here first. And I also No, I'm not. But she is and I'm not getting a minor. You're about to go to handcuff the back of my car. So what do you want to do? Give us the ID or not. >> Okay, that's fine. Like I said, I want I want to see the video footage. >> This is so take my phone. That's fine. Like I said, I'm not realistic. >> Are you sure about that? We're about to add that challenge on there. >> What you've been doing right now is persisting. I hope you know that. >> I'm being literally pushed across this room right now. No, you're not. I did not drive anywhere. I did not find my >> That's fine. It's all in body cam. >> I said she can have my phone in my purse. That's literally it. They're arrested. This whole thing is extra as [laughter] hell. >> She's detained. Not arrested. Detained. >> Detained. >> When deputies arrived, the minors resisted immediately. They insisted they would wait for their parents. One argued she wasn't a minor and demanded to see the video footage. Officers made it clear failure to cooperate could escalate the consequences. >> Black dress starts concealing into the purse. Okay. >> This what like the ordering sometimes. >> Like I said, we haven't recovered commercial, so I don't have a dollar amount yet. >> Where's the purse? >> Purse is right there. >> Okay, cool. >> This one. So, did y'all just come from Washington State? >> Yes. >> When y'all just come to Florida and steal, that's what we do. >> Okay. >> What's your name? >> All right. You can play easy way or hard one. You guys both stole. You don't want to cooperate. You can both go to jail. If you want to cooperate, there's other ways we can work. I'm just asking your name. I'm not asking questions about this. >> I'm not willing to wait for her parent. >> I'm not asking you. Come on. Keep an eye on my head. I don't know my first name. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Some random person grabbing you. How would anybody react? >> You're not being in charge for that. >> No, but I'm saying I still don't understand how a random employee could put their hands on you. But okay. >> All right. Cut there. Cut on the nose and then tuckle it >> and then rip the shirt. >> All right. Do you want to give us your name or no? >> You're trying to yell at me because I'm like, do I wait for my mom to get here? >> I'm not asking you about what happened when talking about your name. >> Come on, stop. Okay, I'll give you my name. Don't. >> All you have to do is give us your name. >> Identify yourself. >> I'm talking to him on the phone. >> Okay. >> Officers reviewed the surveillance footage. The sisters were seen concealing items in a purse. What started as a minor suspicion became undeniable. The theft was caught in full detail. Deputies checked their bags. Evidence left no room for doubt. One sister insisted she hadn't taken anything. She claimed it wasn't her intention, but the law and the cameras told a different story. Denial turned into frustration as officers methodically documented the scene. The theft was deliberate, coordinated. >> You want she to scratch you, punch you or she going like this. >> Oh, she headed right here inside the office. I mean, you guys see I was trying to grab the bag. Look, I was trying to grab the bag. See? >> Yeah. >> The bag. And she keep fighting me, but I was like, >> "Yeah, see, >> she's punching. like trying to get away. >> Bro, just hit the play. Just hit play. >> Yeah, let me know. Yeah, the right to remain silent. >> You understand these rights? >> Are you willing to answer questions or make a statement without an attorney being present? >> No. No. But you do know she committed multiple crimes. She won shoplifted from here, which in the state of Florida was just a misdemeanor. All she had to do is cooperate and we get recorded. But she's refusing. >> Know that it was typical for law prevention to grab people. >> It is when they have their ID in their hand showing them on camera. That's right here. >> That's debatable. But >> I mean, I have video. >> You can do whatever you got to do right now. >> Okay. But I'm trying to talk to you about your other dogs. Trying to talk to you about your other daughter. >> Yeah. >> Same thing I just told you about her. You can't talk to her cuz she's an adult. I can't talk to her. All I did was ask the younger one her name and stuff. not to ask you permission to talk to them. Like I said, either go to jail for not cooperating or cooperate. There's other routes where she can go home with you tonight. >> No, I don't I don't want her to talk to anybody because they're set up here. I don't know if you >> It's not a setup. It's easy. >> I know coming from you, but like you >> I'm trying to help you out. Can you just listen to me? I'm trying to listen, but I don't want my jeopardize anything by talking. I don't want anyone talking until just listen. You stop talking. Listen. So, $40 is a misdemeanor. We don't take people to jail for that. We only taking her cuz she beat up the other guy. Like I said, he's bleeding from his nose and eye. You can't just beat up somebody and walk away with it. Your daughter didn't do that. She was the one that did that. She only had one charge versus her who has multiple charges. She just has to say, "Yes, I did it. I'm sorry for and we give you a piece of paper and she doesn't go to jailing to anything. >> Well, there's plenty of I can show you the video. >> What happens if we if she says nothing? >> You're going to arrest her, too? >> Yes, exactly. But before we even do this, >> they're going to arrest the lady, too, unless she admits the police. >> As tension rose, cooperation faded. One sister grew argumentative, insisting store employees had no right to stop them. The other became visibly emotional. Officers explained the evidence, laid out their options, but the back and forth only made matters worse. Their mother stepped in, questioning the officers and disputing the accusations. The tension intensified. What could have ended with simple paperwork now slid toward arrest. >> We got a video of her doing everything. >> Okay. You're showing me videos of of an altercation between my daughter and your staff, but you're not showing me what this one did at all. >> Can you show them the fight first? Does she understand the severity of this? >> All of that's our attorney will handle that. I don't need to see that. I just want to see what happens with her. >> She's putting the merchandise into her purse now. >> So, how is it admitting anything if she tells you? She still gets to stand before a judge. Like, this is ridiculous. Let me take my daughter home. >> It's not how it works in state of Florida. I'm trying to tell you. >> Okay. Well, tell me straight like we have to talk to you cuz you're an adult. She's a juvenile. We gave her a piece of paper saying yes, I did it. Even though we already know she did it, so it's not going to hurt me. It's up to you guys how you guys want to handle it. We thought we didn't even know what you said. He came from outside of Walmart and came in and started talking to us. I didn't >> I want my security. Can you call me step outside? >> And I can't even understand your accent. We're trying to just figure this out. Come to the conclusion. >> It's hard to understand and there's a lot of people around and he came out with like his hands open. So like I didn't know. >> I mean, can you read things or just close your face? I mean that's all I could see. Something right here. I understand that. It seemed like he was just some random guy coming. We're just not going to argue about this either. We got to do what we got to do at this point. >> You know how I am. A nice little friendation. I would have like literally dropped my handed it over to someone as they talked to me. >> Emotions ran high. The mother pressed for answers, struggling to understand how it had escalated. Deputies tried to explain the diversion option, what cooperation could mean, but frustration dominated the room. You want to step back? We want to search you real quick. Stand over here. Anything to harm me, poke me, hurt me? >> No. >> No. Any drugs I got to know about? Any weapons? >> No, ma'am. Turn around. There you go. Just stay right here. >> You want your stuff to stay with your mom? >> That's the only property. >> All right. woman. >> So, you want her to sign a paper saying that she did it. So, you want her to admit to something without being I saw the video, but what you're asking me is to have her wave her rights to go in front of a judge or you're going to take her to jail. Is that like what is the paper? Let me read it. >> Okay. >> All right. You want to come over here and read it, man? You read it together. It's called a jabal arrest. >> What? You want to read it, too? I don't care. You understand it? >> Well, I understand it, but what is it? What is it? Like, it's an arrest avoidance, but what is it? >> You have to agree to this. That's why I'm talking to you and not her about it. You have to contact the Jack place juvenile place within two business days. And you guys are still going to have to go down to the courthouse and talk about this. She does. You're not getting away with it regardless. >> So, what? We just contact them in two business days. And then what? Like >> they give you a court date and then you have to go do it. I mean, if she doesn't complete the program, then she goes gets arrested for it. But it's a program. It's not a thing. >> I agree. Our program that means money. >> Fabulous. >> Let's go. Let's get the out of here. This is stupid. >> Yes or no? >> Yeah, sure. I love paying money to record. It's my favorite thing to do. >> It's not on us. It's on you. You don't >> I understand what I did was calling and I take like responsibility but if it was address scary >> we could contact her at >> like >> does she have an address that she can get contacted at? >> Yes. >> What address? Did she say she had nowhere to stay? Did >> she didn't say nowhere to stay so I don't anywhere. >> What does that mean? >> She just got here yesterday. I was on a plane yesterday. As the discussion continued, officers carefully explained the paperwork and the program being offered, emphasizing it as a chance to avoid immediate arrest. The mother questioned the fairness of the process, worried about the consequences and costs involved. While one sister acknowledged her mistake, the tension in the room made it clear that even this opportunity came with heavy strings attached. Officers clarified the program being offered, it was a chance to avoid immediate arrest. The mother questioned fairness, worried about consequences and costs. One sister admitted her mistake, but the tension remained. Even this opportunity carried heavy strings. Are you breaking? >> I hope to God not just stand up. Those would be pretty hard to run in. >> You know, they're not bad, actually. I bet you I could give you a good run. >> You probably still catch me, but >> it's a good thing you're not running today. >> Yeah, your hands are going to kind of go away. Oh, I miss the hair thing. >> Oh, yeah. >> Um, is it just clip? >> Yeah, I'm going have to have it down. >> Yeah, usually if it's like a hair tie, >> it's just a clip. >> Something you usually have. >> Got to make sure you ain't got nothing in there. >> Inventory, too. >> That could be something that she ain't checking for that. All in my touch my head. >> Watch your head now. Careful. >> You ready to talk, ma'am? >> What? >> You ready to talk? >> Talk about what? >> You guys just had me sitting there for over an hour and now you're arresting my daughter. Anyways, what do I got to talk to you about? >> Why didn't he tell me to get out like that? What is wrong with him? >> I've been civil to you guys. I'm here losing my but I'm trying not to lose my [ __ ] on you guys. What is going on? I'll have to explain. I never said she was arrested. She's not arrested at this point. So, >> well, why did he say bye? Get out of here. Bye. What is wrong with him? He can't act like a human being just cuz he got a badge. I know damn well that police and sheriff do whatever the they want. >> All right. So, you want me to tell you what's going on? >> Yeah, I do. >> All right. Well, today's her she's no longer a juvenile. She's an adult. She's going She's an adult. This She really wants to start off being in big boy jail on her. It's going to be up to her, but she's an adult. So she has to decide that on her own without you >> or she can take the diversion program which is like the same thing I was telling you theft charge. No one gives a >> Okay. Well, they do. So she doesn't if she takes the diversion program, she's not going to jail. She's going >> I had a petty theft charge 20 years ago and I have a job that probably pays more than the sheriff. So >> I got you fine. Everybody's fine. I'm worried about that one. I want her to get processed. She has an attorney. >> Which one? The other one. >> The one in the truck has an attorney. >> The one in the truck's already in jail. >> She's not in my truck anymore. No, she's in jail. Do you understand what's going on? >> No, I don't understand what is going on. What is going on? >> She's an adult. So, she's going to get Miranda and she's going to either take the diversion program or she's going to go to jail. It's only >> She already wants to take the diversion program. She's already there's different there's different parameters for juvenile diversion and adult. >> Okay. >> So, I don't know what's going on with her right this second, but she's willing to comply with you. She's been willing to comply since the beginning. She honestly they both thought that they were getting kidnapped by somebody. [snorts] I mean the kids wearing chains and and a champion shirt. >> Then a critical detail emerged. One sister was no longer a juvenile. Everything shifted. As an adult, she now faced real consequences, including potential jail time unless she cooperated. The mother grew frustrated, struggling to comprehend the situation. Officers read her rights and laid out the final options. The weight of the moment settled in. What started as shoplifting had now crossed into a point of no return. Do you understand these rights? >> Yeah. Okay. >> Are you willing to answer questions or make a statement without an attorney being present? >> I don't know what's the right thing to do. >> I can't I can't advise you yes or no. That's that's within you. >> She doesn't know. >> It's a yes or no question. >> Yeah. We we can't we can't advise you. >> You're an adult. You have to choose at this point. You committed the crime. You're an adult. out there. So, you want to talk to us or you can get an attorney. That's you're right. >> I do not understand. >> Yeah, I will. >> Question. >> You're not an attorney present. >> Okay. >> So, since you want to make a statement, what what happened today? >> Um, I came in and wanted to be able to get ready for dinner tonight. So I and I still and I used my sister's bag. >> Okay. Do that for me. You want to do the one for me. There you go. All right. Come sign this for me. Let me just take a picture of you right there. Perfect. Any questions for me in regards to this? >> Finally, one sister spoke. Her tone softened as she admitted to taking the items. She explained how the situation spiraled out of control. Officers documented her statement, moving the process forward. The chaos gave way to procedure. Paperwork replaced arguments. The reality of the consequences quietly set in. Next up is the case where officers responded to a target after two young women were caught stealing jewelry and other items. And what began as a simple shoplifting investigation quickly spiraled [music] into panic, confusion, and a tense confrontation with law enforcement. Well, I guess I'm a senior in school now, so I don't have no jewelry. I wanted some jewelry and I think I look better with So, can you turn around and put your on your back, please? >> Real job. >> I can't have that on my record. My record is perfect. >> Don't do that, please, because that hurt. On August 21st, 2024, officers responded to a Target store after security caught two teenage [music] girls, ages 17 and 18, shoplifting jewelry, snacks, and personal care items. Upon arrival, police met with the suspects and staff who provided a detailed receipt and explained how the girls committed the crime. >> Hey, how's it going? >> How's it going? >> Um, so these two young ladies here took everything you see here. I have the receipt. Let me grab it for you. Here's an itemized receipt of what was taken. So, essentially, they came in, went to the jewelry section, grabbed all of that, put it inside of this bag that she was carrying in the white shirt. Um, >> which bag? >> This one here. The one that says the tote bag on it. Then they moved over to like health and beauty. grabbed this shampoo and like these hair clip things. Went and grabbed these. All that stuff went into that same bag. They tried to buy pass points to sale. Stopped them, escorted them back here, called you guys. >> Okay. Do you guys have IDs? >> You don't have None of you have IDs on you at all? >> No, I don't have >> How old are you? >> I'm 18. >> 18. You >> 17. What were you talking about? >> Yeah. First year. What's your name? >> Yeah. >> What's your last name? >> Give me your bug. >> The two girls seemed oblivious to the seriousness of the situation, trying to hide their identities as officers asked for identification. A move that only got them into deeper trouble. >> Your mom at >> Looks funny. >> Do I know you? >> No, but you're 17. >> Oh, y'all know where I where I'm at. She know what I be doing. She know what you be doing? >> No, she knows where you're She knows where you're at. >> She don't know about this, but like >> are you Do you go to Are you in high school?

No. What did y'all y'all broke the law, right? >> Yeah. >> And we got called here, so we have to conduct an investigation. What they say on just said >> All right. Just uh go ahead and start watching the video. It's all good. Everybody's busy, so I'll chill on the video. You already know what happened. >> Cuz we weren't here. Does your mom know where you're at or dad or who do you live with? >> I live with my mom. >> And you? >> What do you live with? >> My mom. Okay. >> She knows where I'm at. >> Is that group of young individuals out there in your cohorts? >> There's a group of kids that look like they're your age outside like five or six. >> Five here. >> Yeah. Outside of Target. >> Did y'all come here alone? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Well, no big deal. I'm just I don't know. >> Y boyfriend shirt. So, I didn't know if you brought >> Yeah, >> that's probably what it is. Why your shirt wet? >> We were at the pool. >> Which one? I have my bathing suit on on below the campground. We went to the open pool. >> You drive. >> She does. So, can you just please just leave? >> What did I say 5 minutes ago? >> No, you keep on bugging. You have to leave. >> Being calm and patient, too. But >> is that recording >> my camera? >> It's supposed to always be recording. >> It's recording. >> So, who's who was holding the bag the whole time? >> The uh the girl on the white. Okay. And who was taking the items? >> Both. >> Cool. >> Both selecting them. Both putting them in the purse. >> So, what do y'all want to do? >> Uh, we're going to prosecute both and chest. >> Emotions ran high as officers separated the girls for questioning.

Next up is the case where three young women were stopped for alleged shoplifting. And what began as a simple store visit quickly turned into a tense investigation [music] with searches, questions, and unexpected discoveries. >> All right, I'm not going to go searching through your car, but I don't >> I need a warrant if you're going to look at my car. >> I didn't say Okay, first of all, I'm not going to do the attitude. >> Me as like a Mexican girl, she was a white girl, so I feel some type of way cuz she was just walking behind us all the time. >> Am I going to be arrested? >> Be real with you. I'm be honest. >> Okay, there's nothing else. >> There's nothing else. Hey, take anything else. >> All right, put your hands behind your back. On April 10th, 2025, officers responded to a cosmetic store after reports of three 18-year-old women shoplifting. When confronted, the teens immediately tried to downplay the situation. >> I was going to buy a concealer and then I was opening to try my [ __ ] which is on my hand. And then she was like, "Oh, are you going to take?" And I'm like, "No, I'm not going to take it." So then she started assuming that I was like going to steal the stuff from Sephora. So then I went up to one of the workers from there and I gave her the concealer and I was like, "Look, like so you could know I'm not taking anything." And then I just left the store. Okay. Cuz she's like saying that you guys took like necklaces and makeup and >> No, we we didn't even get through like the actual call. >> We actually told her and she didn't say anything. >> She didn't say anything. She said she was like, "Sorry about my coworker's actions." And I was like, "No, you just need to make sure that they're not making it like seem like we're trying to steal anything." >> Yeah. >> You know, so that's why I gave her like the concealer back and she took it back. You couldn't even go and ask her. I gave her the concealer and it was like this spray sanitizer thing. I just gave it back to her and she just took it back. So, you never gave you never took anything? >> Oh, no. We went to other like we went to an Ulta, but we bought the stuff there and everything. They see me buy everything. >> Okay. >> When officers pressed, a tense exchange unfolded as the group tried to convince the officers that it was all a misunderstanding. >> Can you stop digging your bag? >> She's looking for her phone. >> Okay. I don't want her digging into her bag. I don't know what's going >> You can literally open the door if you want. I don't care. >> No, I'm just being honest. Like if you want to look. >> All right. >> I'm not going to go searching through your car. But I don't >> I need a warrant if you're going to look at my car. >> I didn't. Okay. First of all, I'm not going to do the attitude. I'm not going to have her sitting here digging her bag when I don't know what's in the car. Got it. >> Well, I'm telling you. Okay. And I'm telling you I'm telling you I don't care what she's looking for. I don't want her digging her bag when I don't know what's in the car. >> So, lose the attitude. Thank you. >> I'm just like feel like I'm being targeted, but if you want >> Why are you being targeted? Because I asked her to stop digging through her bag >> and I told you why she was digging into her car. >> Okay. And I'm telling you, I don't care cuz I don't know what's in the car. I apologize. I apologize. >> I'm not giving energy. It's just the fact that she's like, "Oh, hey." Like, you know, like I understand why. >> Okay. Just don't >> I just don't understand. >> Okay. Nobody's telling you we got called here because you guys were allegedly doing something. That's why we're here. >> Okay. I'm sorry. >> No, we understand. >> We understand. >> Yeah, we understand. >> Did they tell you what's going on? I'm like really confused cuz we went to Sephora and I was getting stuff and I they even gave me a little bag and then after like the a girl like I seen that she was like walking around behind me. So then I went up to her and I was like here like I'm not going to take this just to make sure cuz I feel like you're thinking that I'm going to steal it. So I gave it back to her. She was like, "Thank you so much for giving it back to me." And I was like, "Just tell your co-workers to not make it seem to customers that come in making it seem like they're stealing or something cuz they're not going to want to come back." And I gave her the concealer and the little spray back and she just said, "Thank you so much. I'll talk to my coworkers." And we just went back inside. >> And then we came to the car. So I'm like, "I'm confused." I'm like, "I don't know. I didn't take anything." I gave it back to her. It was a concealer and a little spray. >> Was it in Sephora or was it outside? >> It was in Sephora. >> It was. >> Yeah, it was in Sephora. But we left because we felt like we were just like >> Yeah, we just left cuz I was like it it was like I mean me as like a Mexican girl, she was a white girl so I felt some type of way cuz she was just walking behind us all the time and I was like usually when I go to stores like nobody's like looking at what I'm doing and I was like I told her I was like here like if you think I'm going to steal the concealer here's the concealer and here's the spray. And I gave it to her in her hands and she just walked back out. She was like, "Okay, thank you. I will talk to my co-workers about it." And I was like, "Okay, >> okay." >> I think at this point they're just going to check cameras to make sure that the everything's legit. >> Yeah. >> But appreciate you cooperating. >> No. Yeah, it's good. >> I would have asked you guys if you're supposed to be in school. You look young. >> I mean, she's supposed to be at work. Um, I'm currently working, too. >> So, you're not in school? >> No, we just graduated recently. Oh, that's >> With suspicion mounting, officers prepared to search the teens as store surveillance footage revealed far more than a simple misunderstanding. [music] >> Can I talk to you? >> Yeah. Can you step out with your purse? I'll talk to her. So, I just saw video surveillance. So, do you want to tell me what you took? >> I can figure out this. All right. So, there's a thing like they want to sign things. How long am I going to be a risk? >> Um, it just depends. >> Is there anything in your pocket that belongs to anything? Not weapons or anything. 122 23. I >> just got my bait. Oh, perfect. This is a little pouch you just had. It was a little broken. I don't know why I fixed it. Is there anything else in your closet I'm going to buy right now? >> I just go my babe and then I don't know why I got you know other purses are going to pop up. I think I just got like a couple things that my friend gave me. >> What else is in this front right pocket? >> I got my vape. >> The vape is right there. >> I got two vapes. >> Okay, there. Is that yours or is that mine? >> That didn't fall off of this. >> I don't know. Probably. >> As officers recovered the stolen merchandise, the teens offered apologies and excuses, claiming not everything was [music] meant to be stolen. Yet, the evidence left denial impossible. >> All right. Can you step out so I can talk to you? >> Yes. >> All right. So, other than you putting that in your bra, >> what else did you take? >> All right, I'm gonna show it to you. So, put your hands right here. Just put your phone down. >> Turn around. >> You don't have anything [music] else, perhaps? >> Okay. >> How did your friend get that? >> What? >> How [music] did she get that when it was in your shirt? >> She got No, she got one >> and you got the other one. Where'd you put the other one at? I'm be real with you. I'm be honest. >> Okay. There's nothing else. >> There's nothing else. I didn't take anything else. >> All right.

What the are you playing my do, dumb ass? >> On May 21st, 2024, officers responded to a Walmart following reports of two teenagers caught shoplifting.

I'm going to make you stand up. >> Both teens behavior hinted that the apple might not have fallen far from the tree. The officers did their best to stay composed, but with each passing moment, their patience was pushed closer to the edge. >> You could do the same. >> Okay, but can we look at that and see? >> No, you have no right to look at that. >> You've been telling us this whole time. >> Okay, we're past that point.
