That's what she gave away, and I can show you on the big camera, too. And then, she rang up a drink, and that's the cart he pushed out. >> And the only thing she rang up was the drink? >> The drink, yeah. That's the actual receipt for the transaction, And that's on the thumb drive. >> Can you Oh, that's This is all on the thumb drive? >> Yes. >> So, I can take this, right? >> Yes. >> Cool. >> Um she told me to have it all ready, so. >> Yeah, that makes everything a little easier. Hey. >> Give me a second, please. Okay, I'm just going to put my stuff here. And then this is >> And the employee's name is Rankin, is that what you're saying? >> And that's when she signed it, so. And she put her employee number. I didn't um I don't know if you need the original or the copy. I was just told to make a copy of everything, so. And then these are like when I went through and watched the video, I didn't put all of this on there cuz it wouldn't fit, but >> What is all Oh, that's all there? >> This is And this is the list of stuff I could see in the cards that got taken. >> Can you do Did you make copies of all that? >> No, not yet. >> Can you make copies of all that, front and back, if you would? >> Returning to the suspect, she clearly knew what had happened to her, and every accusation stated by the police became pressure that forced her into regret. >> You're placed under arrest for grand retail theft. Yes. Um tell me what's going on, like you're being accused of under-scanning and allowing your aunt to walk out. Like I can Do you know how many different felonies you can get from this? It's organized retail theft, basically is what it is. Whether it was your idea or not, you went along with it. Did you get dropped off here, or is your vehicle in the back? >> My vehicle's here. >> Okay. >> Hey, um I'm getting ready to go to jail. >> Can you have someone come get it? >> Because I let somebody walk out of here with stuff yesterday. Yeah. I don't know. So, I will let you know when I can get a bond setting hearing or whatever. >> No, you'll have a bond tonight set by me. >> He said I'll have a bond setting set tonight. I'm not sure how much it was. >> Inside the store, the loss prevention employee continued to lay out the coordinated plan behind the organized theft scheme. >> So, she took eight shopping carts? >> All together in the hour, it was eight shopping carts for looks alone. >> Where did the Where did the thousand dollars number come from? >> That's It was probably over that amount because there were totes full of things that we couldn't even see what was in them. Um So, what she's estimating >> And you didn't happen to get her on video writing the statement, did you? >> Yes. >> She is on video writing the statement? >> Yes. >> Is that >> add that to that. >> You wouldn't do that. That would just be a little icing on the cake, so to speak. And uh what I'll do is I'll just take the copied version of everything. Are the the receipts you have are on here, you said? Or what you >> Um well, I have the beginning like where she scanned one thing and then gave them their copy of the receipt and they walked out with two carts full of stuff. >> Okay, cool. >> That's on there. Um all the ones that I had time to put on there are on there. So >> Okay. >> If you guys need anything else, I can If we can do it all from here. We don't actually have to wait for them to send it to us, which is kind of nice. >> Yeah, this is a good starting point right here, so. How long has she been working here? >> At this store, only a couple months. Or not even a month. She came from the other Anthony's store, so the way she it, I have a feeling that this is not the first time. I'm sure. It wasn't her. >> And she wouldn't give y'all her She wouldn't give y'all her aunt's name? >> I don't. It looks like her mom. >> Looks like her mom. >> And they were driving a red van cuz you can kind of see it off to the side. Cuz she walks out to it and then >> Were y'all able to get Y'all have outside cameras? >> Uh >> But you can see the van. >> Everything had become clear, and the female suspect could not escape being placed in handcuffs. >> And this is just accidental. I don't have like >> Oh, you don't have a receipt >> No. >> I have no idea. I'm going to find out. >> No, it's not. >> it was just barcode marks that you had. So, you've been cooperative to make this as easy as possible, okay? For sure. I'm going to go ahead and grab that. It should be good. All right. >> Thank you, guys. >> Well >> I'm going to have to wait to see how much it is. >> That's fine. You can wait. Um Um like you said $750 or less is a misdemeanor. >> I'm watching, I guess. >> So >> How do How do they know? I guess they followed her around the store and watched what >> Well, they got video cameras. I mean, everything >> that. >> All of the stores have cameras. You know, they they invest big money into that kind of thing and before they call on us, they do their due diligence. So >> Are they saying this is the only time? Do they suspect other times? >> Uh right now, this is all This is all they're saying, and that's all she said. This is the first and only time. Um so until we know otherwise, yeah, we're just treating this like a isolated or deal. >> The woman was charged with grand retail theft and participation in an organized retail theft scheme. A single dishonest decision, even if influenced by others, could lead to serious legal consequences that permanently damage one's future. Next, these suspects even began instructing each other on how to shoplift. >> Hey 21. >> Technically, you're not supposed to have that. >> On the 18th of April, 2024, police were dispatched to a Walmart after receiving reports of an ongoing theft. The suspects were identified as three individuals, Christopher, 45 years old, Caitlin, 20 years old, and Sophia, 19 years old, who were pushing a shopping cart out of the store. At that moment, officers quickly stopped them before they could leave. This was what happened next. >> Ma'am, your buggy is loaded. >> You got to push it up to the front. >> So, ma'am. You got a receipt, okay? >> Yeah. >> 15 15 what? Is that Bennett's Road? >> Uh yes, it is. >> It'll be officer partners, too, ma'am. >> And if you're going in there right now, she's got it up on her shoulder. >> What? Okay. >> Well, we're going to figure out who's got what here in a sec. Who's got IDs? Pull it out. >> You got a redo, ma'am? >> I got it. >> You got one? >> Yep. >> That's fine. We're in the AP office, so just whenever you get here, you can finish up. We'll meet you here. >> They were not surprised by the officers' request, as they clearly knew what they were facing. At that moment, each item was checked to prove their act of theft. >> Who has this one right here? >> Shop with the bags. We used to keep nothing in there but the stolen merchandise. Advanced retail theft techniques. Possession. >> Okay, that's enough. No more. We're in the parking lot. >> Um you might as give me that and then send me there 14. I'll go absolutely. Get searched. Um yeah. >> If you search them, you can get out of here. >> Yeah. >> All right, have a sit down. So, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to be searching both of the females. Do you have anything on you that's going to poke me, stick me, or hurt me? Is there anything that I should be aware of? If you were to go to jail, that they find it, you will get additional charges. Anything that you hid on you, on your person, while you were in Walmart. >> Immediately after that, a body search was conducted to ensure they carried nothing dangerous and had no stolen items hidden on them. >> Okay. >> Are you 21? >> I'm 20. >> Technically, you're not supposed to hold that. I'm holding it for him. Oh, you're holding it for him? >> Yeah. >> Give it back to him. Let him hold it. >> It's even worse. That could be a charge for him, too. Technically, it's only like a $15 fine. >> I just grabbed it cuz I >> All right, you have anything on you that's going to poke you or stab you in any way? It's a gun. A little powder. Good for you. This is where your Where's the powder that's it? You're good. >> Thus, unauthorized items were still found despite the officer's warnings. Additionally, the presence of an older man accompanying two young women he did not know also raised suspicion among the police. >> What's a What's a birthday? He's going, he's not. They're all three going to go. What's this guy hanging out with these two young kids? I mean, they're not like kids, but they're like they're basically kids. >> Yeah. What's he doing hanging out with them? >> Teaching them wayward ways. >> Well, actually, I would say uh I'm not sure what we're doing with her. >> He's teaching him and the other one. He's got to get to do that. She's the one with the gun. >> Right. >> Or maybe she's just really bad at it and she's going to want to get caught. >> I'm sure they've all done it before. The one sitting in the on the chair facing the computer monitor, she's so nervous that her carotid is like pulsating in her neck. You can see it. >> But OD'ing on the meth is SWAT. >> Or Or that. >> According to the investigation, a background check revealed that all three had outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court, and it seemed the man felt no remorse. >> Uh a bun or something. Like something like this. >> I'm sorry, I didn't hear you, sir. >> Did you get a bun or something? >> I mean, there will be, but we don't set it as uh set it at the jail. >> All right, boss, go ahead and stand up. Can you turn your wrist? >> No, it does not look comfortable. >> I'm going to be on the way. He got my purse and my key and everything. >> Just made it. >> All three were charged with retail theft and additional counts related to outstanding warrants for failure to appear. The lesson here was clear. Small acts of dishonesty could quickly escalate into serious legal consequences, especially when combined with repeated offenses and poor judgment. [music] Next, the man even tried to play innocent in an attempt to escape accountability. >> What do we You searched everything I had. >> Sir, do you really think so? >> It's possible. >> Okay. Okay, get in the car. We'll figure it out. You tried to steal a TV, but you didn't get away with it. And then you stole a sound bar and you tossed it over the wall court. >> do what? >> Yeah. >> On the 4th of January, 2025, officers stopped a man suspected of involvement in a theft at Walmart and fleeing through an emergency exit. When approached, he showed no intention of stopping. And this was what happened next. >> Let me run after you. I got two more guys coming on that side. Don't run. Boy, don't run. Boy, stop. Step it up, guys. Step it up. I got him. He's resisting. >> He's resisting. >> Okay, hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. 56, I got him in All right. See what's up. Make sure it's clear. He's pointing He's pointing at them the whole night. Have you called them down yet? >> Okay. >> All right, pat him down for me. >> Now we're here. Stay put. Don't go anywhere. How about that? I'm going to hold on. Don't move. Don't take a left. >> Yeah, it's your lucky day. I'm going to just [ __ ] these up. You got ID on you, bud? >> Yeah, what? >> You got ID on you? >> I got ID. >> What's that? >> I got ID. >> Do you have ID on you? Are you from around here? You from around Volo Park? >> You got an ID? >> All right. Let's see your face. You don't look familiar. You're not from around here, huh? >> What are you talking about? I just got teased out for no reason. >> Shortly after, officers attempted to obtain the man's information, but he showed no concern about resolving the situation, forcing them to ask repeatedly many times. >> What's your first name? What can I call you? >> What's your name? That's what I'm supposed to ask you. >> What's What's that? >> I was asking what yours was. >> My Bregman. What's yours? >> First name? >> First name, sir. >> What's your last name? >> My last name is Bregman. My first name is Sonia. What's your first name? >> It's Bregman. >> 325 You got a badge number, too? You going to play this game? >> Play what? >> What's your first name, sir? All right. >> I don't know what this is. >> Listen, man. We could do it the easy way or we could do it this way. You let me know what you want to do. I'm trying to help you out, bro. >> What is this for? What are you doing? >> Okay. >> You tell me what Why are you doing it? >> Absolutely. I'm going to tell you everything. Hop in my car. We're going to have a nice convo for a little bit. >> Taxi? No, I just want to get out of here. Let's go. Taxi? >> We stopped because of your passing. I suspect you're going to reach out to them. >> Sit down. I feel disrespected. >> Now we're going to confirm that you are not. >> Did you find anything on me? >> I'm sorry, sir. >> Yeah, if I stole something What did we You searched everything I had. >> Sir, do you really think Okay. >> Okay. Okay, get in the car. We'll figure it out. >> The man denied [music] the theft claiming he had not been carrying any stolen items. In reality, he had stolen a TV and a sound bar and fled through an emergency exit abandoning them before being stopped. Then used that excuse [music] to challenge the officers. >> Can I make sure before you take someone in? >> Yes, absolutely because I don't want to lose my job. Like that's why I want to make sure I would get the right guy. >> So what's what's a theft mean? >> So right now, you know what we're doing? Right now we're going to have you sit right here and we're going to bring the guy who actually saw you steal and they're going to come over here and see if it's you or not, okay? And if it's not you, guess what? Bye. And then we get to go home, too. But if it is you, you got to go back with me. >> What did I steal? >> I'm going to find that out right now. You tried to steal a TV but you didn't get away with it and then you stole a sound bar and you tossed it over the guardrail. >> to do what? >> Yeah. I don't know if it's you yet.

You said this is for a theft. >> All right. >> I tried to do so. It didn't work out. It didn't work. >> Well, that's what cameras are for. You got your Miranda rights on you? >> No, I didn't tell this to you so you don't camera show the snake. >> Yes, they do. So just hang in there. Listen, if this is a mistake, it's a mistake, but mistakes happen all the time, right? So you just got to be patient. >> Camera will show. >> Exactly. So just be patient with me, sir. >> If I had it on me. >> Correct. Correct. >> He did not deny any of the details provided by the store instead acting confused and even stubbornly denying the situation. >> Do you understand what I just read to you? >> No, because it doesn't make sense. >> None of that made sense? >> No. >> Okay. You're under arrest right now for retail theft. So take a seat in my car. >> What did I steal? >> You're under arrest right now for retail theft. So sit in my car. >> What what what what what >> that later. We're not discussing this outside at 10° right now, okay? Take a seat. Take a seat, sir. >> What is What What What is retail theft?

Okay, you want to run over there with me? >> He's the one that did that. You want me to go see if where the sound bar's at? >> I guess we >> throw it over in the golf course? >> Yeah, I guess we could do that. I just want to get something on video before I start the doing anything. And I'm sure he's not going to tell me who he is, so I got to fingerprint his ass. Hey, thank you guys. Appreciate it. >> The officer took him to the police station to obtain his identification information, but nothing became easier as he had no intention of cooperating. >> All right, do you have a driver's license? Have you ever had a driver's license or a state of a state ID issued by Illinois? Yes, no, maybe so. Bro, I'm going to tell you right now. I'm I'm going to be honest with you. The more you make us work to find out who you are, the more charges you're going to get by the state's attorneys. Everything is audio and video recorded. So, the cooperation helps you in many ways. So, I want you to take a deep breath and think about how you're going to talk with me. If you're going to stay silent, we're going to have some major issues. You don't need to talk to me about what happened today. I don't care. I read you your rights. You want to talk, great. You don't, great. But, I do need to identify you. Are you going to cooperate and tell me your first and last name? All right, man. Unfortunately, that's another charge. Oh, yeah. now I got to identify him.

Why give him You want to give him a couple minutes to think about [music] his name? You're all right, man. I don't care what people say about you. You're actually a nice guy. I don't have a couple minutes. But, if you want to give him a couple minutes, I'll I'll give that to you. >> The man was ultimately charged with retail theft, a felony offense, along with obstruction of identification. His actions showed that attempting to avoid responsibility and refusing to cooperate with officers only made the situation worse, leading to more serious criminal charges and unavoidable legal consequences. Next, shifting the tone into this chaos. >> I'm out. Somebody, come on. Come on. >> So, you don't know who she is? >> I don't know who that girl is. Oh, they just want to take me to jail. >> Yes, you're going to jail, okay? You are under arrest, okay? We're trying >> I was going to walk to the store. What the are you talking about? >> On November 10th, 2025, officers received a report from a Chipotle about a fight that had occurred inside. For more details, listen to the statement from this employee. >> What What happened? >> I was in the store, they came in arguing. I thought they were going to go their separate directions, they did not. They kept continuing fighting, so I got involved and I was like, "Girl, it's not >> Who Who was the primary aggressor, do you think? Like, who was really acting >> going at it. They were both aggressive to each other. >> All right. >> And then a physical fight started. She just left from the back.

Like we said, you match the description of somebody that stole items from Carter's. Okay, you have a right to remain silent. >> Yes. >> This is all Carter's. >> On the 23rd of March, 2024, police received a report of a theft at the Carter's store.

And once they confirm over here whether they say you is or not you getting it. >> It's all in turn on that, right? I didn't steal none of my stuff right there. >> That's what I said, like once they confirm it is or not you, if it's not you, then we'll let you go, but if it's you, then we'll have to talk about that, right? Go ahead back there and look at cameras. You guys got cameras, right? >> Yes, we do. >> She denied everything, but she did not realize that even the smallest details had already raised the officers' suspicions. >> The stealing from Carter's. >> You have a Carter's bag. >> right there. >> Okay, but you have a Carter's bag, okay? And you know, we have to make sure that everything's accounted for in that bag. >> Okay. >> Okay? But, um, that's what we're here for.

However, she showed no intention of providing any information. >> I'm not taking off the cuffs. >> You want me to call her with the cuffs on? >> Just have to call her and you have her with the cuffs on. >> I don't know what to tell her to do. >> You just being detained for right now. >> Probably take three to four to get over here. >> Okay. Um >> Did you leave with Barbara or you still here? She gone. >> Okay, perfect. We'll do a warrant for her and then you're going to be taking a ride, too. You can hang up the phone now. >> Taking a ride for what? I didn't steal anything. I I have my stuff right here. I didn't steal anything. >> We recovered the items. Uh Those are the those are the items that apparently she paid for. >> Man, you're just crazy.

She's having a warrant out for arrest. >> You're saying you paid for these? >> Yes. >> Is there a receipt in here for these? Okay. >> Immediately afterward, police searched the woman's vehicle and what they discovered heightened their suspicions, leading them to believe these individuals were not ordinary shoplifters. >> That big bag up here. >> Okay. >> Cool. So, we need itemized receipts for that. Era Is this all yours, Archipall? >> Um I don't know. I'm sorry. >> It's Archipall. >> Yeah. >> The other suspect's driver's license.

They let her use her phone. So, I can't get it. >> Got you. Well, regardless, the other girl was nice enough to leave her wallet and ID and everything. >> said that your car is >> Three days later, the remaining suspect could no longer bear the pressure of guilt and turned herself in shortly afterward. >> Were you at the window?

I told her that I work for Walmart, that I'm an asset protection investigator. There's some stuff in the cart that does not scan. And I brought her back. >> When confronted about why she did not use a staff checkout, she had her own story, claiming she had been a victim of bullying by others. >> No, no, they said I already tried.

[screaming] >> talk? I'm trying to tell you. >> You just told me she said I didn't give it to you. >> The woman was charged with obstructing official business and disorderly conduct. Even in a routine situation, refusing to cooperate can escalate quickly and draw legal consequences. Staying calm and following procedures is crucial as resistance only prolongs conflict and can lead to charges. In the next case, the thief turned out to be an employee of the very store. >> Thank you. >> What's that title? >> From here. >> What's that title? >> Cashier. >> Cashier and customer service. >> He he's trying to get rid of all of us cuz he's bringing in two of his people what he has planned. >> On the 23rd of May, 2024, police received a report from a Circle K gas station about a woman accused of stealing on the premises and shockingly, she turned out to be one of their own cashiers. To uncover the full details of what happened, keep watching as the story unfolded. >> Do it. >> There you go, sir. >> Get a call? >> She called. >> Okay. >> So, so you know, we we we try we we were getting short like almost every day. So, we tried to see a track on it. So, yesterday we found a employee taking money from the register. >> Okay. Is the employee still uh employed by y'all? >> Yes. So, she's still working. We didn't inform anything to her. >> What she going to >> She going to be She coming back tomorrow at 3:00. >> Okay. >> But like my managers and everybody, they coming at 9:00. So, like you know, we can do at 9:00. And by the time we going to have like a detailed report of total money, how much she took. >> Okay. Okay. All right. Do you got camera footage of her taking the money? >> So, this is the thing. She's the one. So, what she did, she tried to buy a pack of cigarettes. So, she put like a $2 inside. But she took the 20s out of it. >> Thank you. >> Okay. >> And after that, what she did, she made a drop. But she didn't put it in the safe. >> Did you ever um >> She didn't put it in the safe. She just made a drop. So, our report >> No. >> the Z tape balanced out, but the actual safe money didn't balance out because she didn't put it in. >> The suspect's scheme was uncovered by the store's security staff, and the surveillance footage only made it even more undeniable. >> And she got like So, they are the ones I can see, two ones, okay? She put it in, and she took like 20s. They're all 20s she took. And with the pack of cigarette, she going to put it in her uh wallet right there. The purse. I can show you on the other camera. >> Yes. That'd be great. How much money did she take that time? >> So, this time yesterday, she took a $60 320s, $60. Okay? But, like we we've been coming like almost like, you know, this is on 7th, 60, sometime like 200, 400, 700, like that. So, we have to see the match the drop and the actual things. So, the box with the savings. She did so smartly. He was there. So, the way she did, trying to put on the big bill slot, but then move to the dollar slot and then taking the money from the taking like showing like >> 7:53 a.m.? >> Yes. She made a drop at 7:00 56 for 200. So, we didn't find that drop in the safe. So, like, you know, the Z tape on the register is showing this much actual cash was dropped, but on the safe, it was showing 2882. So, 200 was short. >> The evidence was more than sufficient to move forward with an arrest. The next day, officers approached the woman paying close attention to her attitude at that moment. >> Hey, Ms. Carrie Little. >> Uh-huh. >> How are you doing? I'm Officer West, Jesup Police Department. >> Uh-huh. >> All right. I have a warrant for your arrest, okay? >> What for? >> Theft by taking. >> What theft by taking? >> From here. >> What did I take? >> Cash from the cash register. >> register? No, I'm sorry, I did not. >> Okay. Well, the judge saw fit and there's no bail. It's not a warrant, so that's where we're at right now. You'll have your day in court. But, right now, there is a warrant signed for your arrest. We'll let you finish your cigarette and then take you to the station. >> Y'all got to be kidding. >> No, ma'am. No discussion about this. You're under arrest. Yeah, it's been signed. So, you are going to get in the station. >> How much is my bond? >> I don't know. You'll talk to the jail staff about that or anything else staff.

All right. >> Is my car going to be all right in there? >> Yeah, it's up to the store >> them >> The woman refused to take responsibility for her actions, denied every allegation, and even leaned on her years of working there to defend her credibility. >> I'm I'm not understanding this. How much money was I supposed to return to them? I've been here 3 and 1/2 years. This guy just took over. I've never stolen anything. I I might have took a drink out of the cooler. I have never ever took anything. Right there. I mean 3 and 1/2 years I've been at this store. I mean I don't understand. All right, I'm going to walk get my phone out of my car and talk to my husband. >> Well, see we'll we'll do that for you.

Y'all wrong for this. I've been here 3 years, Miss Annie. I've been here 3 years. And you're so wrong for this. >> On the way to the police station, she appeared anxious about the charge against her, but quickly covered it with another story, claiming she was simply being targeted by the store owner. >> Is this a felony or a misdemeanor? >> Misdemeanor. It's a misdemeanor. >> Are they saying how much money I'm supposed to take? >> $50. >> $60. He freaking got to be kidding me. Oh, I want to cry, but I'm too damn mad to cry. He since he took over that store, he's done got rid of everybody in there. Yes, I'm the highest paid person there. And he he is trying to get rid of all of us cuz he's bringing in two of his people for what he has to pay one of us. That that little short boy that was in there, he works his butt off. He makes $9 an hour. I wouldn't even get out of bed for that. >> Yes, I got it. I think. >> The woman was charged with theft by taking as a misdemeanor. Greed, even in small amounts, could cost someone their reputation, career, and freedom, and denial only made the consequences heavier.
