Like I literally sat there and scanned every single item. And if they were watching me right there >> Like are the items are the items over there? >> have any items. So, They took them all. So, why would you scan them and then not The pay to go. What do you mean? The scan and go so you scan your items and then you just scan your barcode and you leave. Without the items?

You said, "Okay." and you just left? Yes. Okay. >> Because it it's I remember scanning the phone where I had every single item scanned on there. The The best of my knowledge, I had every single item I was over there like far away from people cuz I had a lot of stuff. Mhm. And I was making sure everything got scanned because sometimes you put it in the cart, you put two, three things in the cart, you don't know if you got them all. Okay. >> So, I was going through and I scanned all of them, make sure they're all scanned. And then I went to the front and then I remember I needed the cinnamon. Cinnamon sticks. And uh So, you scan So, how do you pay? On the on the uh So, you So, initially you scan all the barcodes and then when you're going to pay you pay it you that total amount >> and you do the scan on the barcode that it gives you.

Which it has done that to me multiple times. It says uh pay Hold on, I'm trying to remember. I had a TBI, so my memory sometimes isn't as good, but it It would say um Moving aside the shoplifting, it's kind of worrying to see a person with a memory problem due to a TBI working as a nurse. But again, who am I to say? I'm just an AI voice over. I was just up on my phone. That's when I told her I said, "It It failed the It failed to to go. Like, can I just scan it again?" And she said, "No, you didn't even try to scan it." And that's not true, I definitely did. Okay. So, I was trying to think of it. It says So, you were at the So, >> It It It It It It says you're good though. So, you were at the self-checkout and you were about to produce the barcode to be able to pay for the items? >> But it said transaction failed. >> No. To my It says I can't remember the exact terminology. He probably knows what I'm talking about cuz it does this to me all the time. So, why you why you keep using it? They said they were going >> Cuz you get money back and stuff. Cuz what? You get money back and stuff. Even though it gives you the same issue all the time? Well, I guess, yeah. >> Yeah. They said they were working on it. Who was working on it? The Walmart people. But not them. No, they not them. Okay. This isn't my you know, I don't go here. But it's it's It pretty much says you're all It does.

Well, I wasn't arrested, but I had to go to court. So, but I don't We're going to do something wrong. Soon after, the woman was taken out of the squad car once again. And this was when the officer made a smart move that truly confirmed her crime. Holly, do you have anything that's going to stick me, poke me? No. Any guns, knives, anything like that? Okay. Let's just face over here. See the Halo Adoption Center? Yes. All right, just keep looking at that, okay? What happened? I was saying, just keep looking over here.

As the officer stepped back to walk through the situation, it was clear that her fate was sealed. Now, it's only a matter of working out the details to make sure this nurse gets the consequences of the action. Is there anybody that can come pick up your car? Holly, is there anybody that can come pick up your car? Who can pick up your car? I can show you the screenshot. They're not telling the truth.

Now, back to the suspect who claimed the elderly woman she was nursing for agreed to pay her bills and gave her free reign to write her checks. Sounds like BS if you ask me. So, was it doing nursing services? >> Yes. Okay. Um and what did you do for them? Um I was a caregiver. Caregiver? Yes. Okay. And did did um Miss whoever pay you for anything? No. Um she never pay me like cash. She No, she never pay me cash. Okay. It was one time that um I was on the phone with my friend. Um she offered her me talking to my friend. And um I was a little bit behind for my rent and stuff for my bill. So, I was asking my friend if they can let me borrow money until I get paid for the following weeks I was supposed to get paid. And when I was over, like the call was done, and she's like, "I can help you paying your bill." I said, "First, before I do that, I have to call the office and let them know that you're offering me help before I take anything from you." She said, "You don't have to. It's my money. I do whatever I want to do." I I said, "I understand it's your money, but there's a policy they told me when I was getting the application done, you cannot get anything from them." She said, "You don't have to. It's my money. Like I said, it's my money. I do whatever I want to do with it. You don't have to confirm to the office. You can go ahead and get it." I said, "As long I'm not going to be in problem, okay?" Mhm. She said, "No, you're not going to be in problem. I'm the one that offered it to you. You're not going to get that accident." I said, "Okay, no problem." She says, "I needed to I you know, how it is if you don't pay your bills, so they're going to kick you out." I said, "Well, as long as I'm not going to be in problem, okay." Okay, so did she end up giving you money? No, she didn't give me money. She She gave me a check. Okay. For how much? It was nice some 9,000 something it was. >> That's a lot of money. Yes. What bills were you behind that you owed that much money? >> My It was my rent and my electricity. Plus my phone bill. Like I have to move all of this my phone bill that I was a little bit behind. And when I said when she gave it to me, I said, "Are you sure? Are you really sure? >> Mhm. Cuz you know those clients, they might they give you something and they turn around and say they never give it to you. Before Before I take it, I said, "Are you sure? With all your heart, you're going to help me?" She said, "Yes, I'm the one that offered it to you, not not you." All right, so she So she wrote you a check for over $9,000? >> Yes. Okay. That was the only check she ever wrote you? >> Mhm. Okay. Something tells me that this isn't her first time doing this. I mean, look at her. She was way too comfortable lying. Well, it's not like her lies make any sense. So, I want to show you some things. Um So, take a look at that this photo here. Well, that's you at Citibank. I think it's dated 5 9 of 2023. It's about 3:07 in the afternoon in the video. All right. That check there that's in your hand was for about $9,000. Mhm. Is that the check that you're saying that she gave you? Yes. The other checks, yes. All right. This that check I know these are some photos from video surveillance, but when you when you watch the video you know, you can see clear as day, you can see, you know, your name and $9,000 on there. Um So, that's that's the check that you're saying that she paid you to help you pay some bills. Mhm. Okay. And it was returned. What was returned? The bank the bank returned it. The bank returned it? >> Yeah. Why did they return it? I don't know. So, so what happened after that when I didn't have a chance to use it cuz the bank just returned it. It It was returned after I deposited it. It was returned. Interesting. She said the victim signed the document, but guess what? The officer has already realized the writing isn't from the victim. Did you write that check or did she? She did. I never I never write the check myself. Okay, cuz I spoke with her and I spoke with the neighbor and I spoke with another helper and that's not her handwriting. So, what was the check? This check is not her handwriting. She doesn't sign her name in print. She signs it in cursive. So >> This is my handwriting right here. That's your handwriting, right? Yeah. I mean that handwriting looks the exact same as the rest of it. Cuz this this isn't Miss Turner's handwriting. So why is this check filled out in your handwriting? No, this is my handwriting right here. I signed it. Yeah, you're signing the back. But I'm saying that handwriting is the same handwriting on the front of the check. Where it says payable to you, the date, you know, her name is printed, but she don't print her name. She signs her name in cursive. So you know, the neighbor and the other helper says that, you know, they help write, you know, they help her with banking and stuff like that. Like this is not her's handwriting. So why why is this whole check filled out in your handwriting and not Miss Turner's? Oops, busted. Let's see how she can lie out of this. Again, that's that's that's my handwriting. She's the one that always help me. Okay. Cuz she don't she don't write like that. Now, I need you to be honest with me. Obviously, you're you're here for a reason. I mean >> Yeah. This not her's handwriting. So why'd you fill this check out? She asked. She asked you to fill it out? >> Yes. Cuz when she was asking she was asking for help. You know, so I was I Like I said, I asked her, "Are you sure?" Mhm. We owe you or we owe you that you wanted to help me. She said, like I said, I don't want that. say "I wanted to help you. You didn't ask him for help. And I said I know you know I'm not going to be in problem. Okay. Yeah, I said I was going to >> wanted you to help. Yeah, she wanted to help me. And I said I You're the one that said do not call the office cuz I was going to call the office to get >> that, but why why is this written out all in your handwriting and not hers? She told me. She told you to write it out? >> Yes. So, why didn't you tell me that up front when I asked you about all that? No, but this is my hand This is how I sign, but she asked me to to do the um to do the check. Okay. But, when I first asked about that, why did you tell me that was her and not you? And now you're telling me that you wrote it. Why didn't you just tell me that up front and be honest? I'll be honest with you. Now you are. We all me. I'll be >> you weren't at first cuz you you kept telling me she wrote this. Yeah. >> You know? And now you can see that it's all your handwriting. You know, now you're telling me that she told you to write this out for her. So, why didn't you just tell me that in the beginning instead of saying that she wrote it? And you I don't think you're being honest with me. I trust me. I am. I'll be honest. Well, >> honest with you, cuz I don't think you're being honest with me. As the exposure continued, the officer brought out even more evidence of her previous attempt to steal from the same patient. So, this is check 266. It's all in the same handwriting again. The front of the check and the signature. That one was for $5,000. It's dated March 26th, 2023. So, why did you get another $5,000 from her? She always wanted to help, not me. I never asked her for help. Okay. Yeah. But, you told me she's only written you one check for the 9,000. And there's two checks. Did she say she didn't help or Well, I want you to I want you to explain why there's two checks. Cuz she told me there was only one. >> She was helping me. Okay, but but you told me she's only written you one check. Then I asked her. And now you got two checks. >> I asked then I when I need help I went on I went on I want to go back to the bank. >> her for more checks. Yeah. Okay. So, here's another one. Check 267. Same handwriting. This one's dated March 26, '23. It's the same day. So, she gave you a check for $5,000 and then on the same day she wrote you another check for $3,800. Mhm. It's a lot of money. And then on April 17th of '23, check 269 for $8,800. All in the same handwriting. Yeah. Check 270, dated 4/21, same thing, same handwriting, $5,800. All in the same handwriting. And then you have check 271, dated 4/24/23, $9,000. Same handwriting, same signature. And then check 272 dated 4/30/23 for $9,500. So, all these checks are all in the same handwriting. All within what? Just 2 months? It's a lot of money in 2 months. So, they all like couple of them all returned. >> It's almost 50 over $50,000 in 2 months. Some of them was returned. I have not returned like >> Where did you need $50,000 for in 2 months? So, paying my bills will help. What bill? My rent, my $50,000? Some of them, like I said to you, some of them are returned. I didn't really have a chance to use all of >> that some of them are returned, but that's a lot of money to be asking her for help if that's the truth. So, what is this withdrawal here? Miss said that you went with her that day to You drove her to the bank to do that that cash withdrawal. She did that herself, not me. Yeah, but I think she said you drove her there. >> Yeah, she asked me to drive her to the bank, yes. >> Okay. That was her, not me. Yeah. So. >> that day we went to the drive-thru. You remember that day? I What was I mean, you went to the drive-thru. What was she taking $8,800 out for? >> idea. Even the bank asked, "So, why you taking so much?" She said, "I just want it." No, I didn't I didn't do that one. It was her. So. She said she took that money out and um she went back in that envelope to get cash or whatever and there was only like $120 in there and the rest was missing. Everything was in her her purse. She had that that purse all day when I was there. She was in the living room the whole day. Cuz that's where she sit and watch TV, eat and drink her coffee. In the living room. Uh-huh. Yeah, that's where she was at all night. Yeah. That's where she be in the whole day. The woman continued to suggest that the victim's medical condition could be the reason she doesn't remember the checks, which makes this case even worse. was well aware of everything she was saying to me and even the nurses that were there were saying that she's fine. She was good. You know, everything she was saying to me, it wasn't like she was lying about anything. Okay. So, I just don't know. I I know you're telling me these were gifts to help you, but she is swearing that she never If I went now >> authorized any of this. Like cuz I used to have dreads. That's all I used to have dreads. That's the only way she will remember me. By by my hair cuz I used to have burgundy Okay. >> on my hair. That's the only way she will remember me. >> Yes, that's the only way she will remember. If I go now, she's not going to remember me. What are you going there for? I mean, I'm just saying that I'm not going. I'm just saying if I go if we go now, she's not going to remember me. She will only remember me because of my hair cuz when I used to have dreads and when I worked in that store, she will remember me. She said, "I know you. You've been here before." I said, "Yes, I was literally here yesterday." She said, "Did you sleep here?" I said, "No, I went home and come back the next day." Mhm. She will be asking you a question like a thousand times. Even you give her the answer already. Like, you know? So. In the end, the woman was charged with felony grand theft, felony uttering a forged instrument, and felony fraudulent use of personal ID. Let's move on to the next case where a woman still dared to steal from the same store after getting caught 34 times. Like $400 How many Uh 32 incidents. 32 charges. Yeah, so she's been doing this for a long while. And I'm going to sue Target. Oh, heck no. Uh-uh. No, no, no. I'm going to I'm going to sue you. On the 9th of August, 2023, officers responded to Target regarding a woman in a scrub with 35 recorded prior shoplifting incidents who had entered the store and was attempting to steal again. Here's what happened next. Hey, guys. What's up? Got a lady. She ticket switches stuff. She's She ticket switches like um She ticket switches using sock barcodes usually. A What was the face of them? Like 2,400. >> Oh man. We have a name for her? I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate, but we have her as Thelma Grant. Thelma Grant? Yes. That's an old name. Yeah, she's an old lady. I don't know about her though. She's She knows what she's doing. Like she's been doing this for a while. Like just to give you some insight. $2,400 in the bag. How many No, 32 incidents? >> Yes, so she's been doing this for a while. So usually what she does is she grabs like little sock barcodes that are like a dollar. Mhm. A little bit less. She'll put that on whatever else she's buying. And then she'll actually go through the checkout line? Mhm. But she's >> scan the socks? >> Yeah, she scans the socks. Like 50 times? >> Yeah. So while she's scanning, can you pull up like what all is being rung up? Okay. She's been doing this for so long that we have all these different incidents. As the officers continued their investigation, the loss prevention showed them the security footage of the suspect's attempt to steal. And like I showed them, I've gotten 30-plus incidents of her switching barcodes. So I know you guys technically could pull her for defacing the merchandise, but we don't want to do that cuz it's just hardly worth it. We can just do that. But my boss did give us permission like if she for some reason like maybe she tries to run or something, she abandons it, we will we can pursue her for trespassing. Okay. All right. So Oh yeah, she's ticket switching more good. And so see that Look at that's a big black bowl that she scanned. That's a little small white little cup that she scanned. So we're good. Let's just wait till she passes up once she's done with it then. Okay. Can you guys tell the difference? So you see that's big black bowl and this is like a small white cup. Mhm. And then you should see her doing her hair again. And the little paper bowls. >> Yeah, so she's still doing the cup. So, we're good. We just need her to leave now. Perfect. This is the cup. >> where she did with cups. She dumped them. She left them like uh uh. There she goes. She left them where she dumped the other stuff. All right. Hey, I'm sorry to bother. Um so, I have the phone right here at the POS. She just ticket switched. She switched barcodes. She scanned everything in, but her card might decline. It looks like she's struggling to render payment. If that's the case, the police are saying they have enough to like charge her with shoplifting because she switched the barcodes, but what should we do? Should she We can? Yeah, totally can guys as long as the police want to. I'm I'm willing to prosecute on that. >> Okay. You can just exit with it. Okay. Okay. All right, thank you. Hey Ellie, go to court and get a All right. Bye. Hey, so she's still at the POS and she's been at the POS for 20 minutes now trying to render payment and now she's calling her I remember the first time I got my baton, I went home and I played with it and I couldn't get it to close. I was like So, he said she got to leave. If you guys want to pull her, we'll let you guys pull her. Let's do it. All right, thanks Mark. All right, bye. After finishing the initial investigation, the officers then moved in to put the nurse in handcuffs. Hey ma'am, drop your phone for me. Uh-huh. Drop your phone for me. >> Yes. You're under arrest right now, okay? Place your hands Place your hands behind your back. We'll tell you as soon as you're in cuffs. What I did? We'll tell you as soon as you're in cuffs. What did I do? What's What's I you Just let me get some handcuffs on you and then um we'll bring you to the back and we'll explain everything. >> Uh-huh. Yeah. Sorry. What? I'll let you know. Just let me get these cuffs on you real quick. >> Okay. Don't want to mess up your watch. Mhm. What in the world I do What do? We'll explain. Just give us a second. Would you like me to grab your cell phone for you? >> Yes. What did I do, man? We'll explain it in the office, okay? You want to move it over there? Did you want me to disconnect the call? Yes. What did I do? I'll take your purse, ma'am. Okay. So 1990 the loss prevention officer is going to explain everything to you. >> Yes. Um we're just going to sit down, have a conversation, and he'll explain everything. Right. Cuz I didn't do I mean, for y'all to come up and just handcuff me like that in front of everyone, and I didn't do anything. >> everything back there. After securing the woman, the officers then moved her to the loss prevention office for further investigation. It's good. You can sit there or there, either way. Yeah, I don't want to sit down. Have a seat for you. I don't want to sit down, sir, because it it hurt me. It hurt my arm. So switching switching the barcodes Huh? Switching the barcodes of an item is a crime.

That's all head no uh-uh uh-uh. Here's one more reason why you shouldn't bring anything of value when you are admitted to the hospital. After her yapping, the officers then tried to ID her and of course she refused to provide anything. Your name ma'am? I'm not giving any information unless y'all tell me some stuff. We did. No, no, y'all did not. The first thing y'all did was handcuff me. I just told you you're under arrest for shoplifting. How you under arrest First of all, sir, look here.

The reason why we're here here Listen, it doesn't matter whether he's the reason. I'm talking about what you all did. Now, after her threat of suing and stuff didn't work, she started to beg the officers for mercy. Can you just ban me out the store? We're doing that, too. I know that, but can you let me go? That's up to them, but I don't think they are. That's that's all that's sir. Please, sir. Please, cuz this is going to be on me and I'm going to lose my job. I work at the hospital in day surgery.

She said she's going to lose her job. Well, she should have thought about that before stealing 35 times. If I was going out that door and y'all ran behind me and grabbed me or whatever, but you grabbed me right there in the wilderness in front of everyone. You bum rushed me, you did this and that. You could have called me in We didn't treat you poorly. We weren't rough with you. We were applying pressure. I treat everyone equally. I don't know because my and the way that you all came up and grabbed me by my arm and yanked it up like that in front of everybody and handcuffed me?

It is permanently. That's kind of harsh, isn't it? Said the woman who robbed the place 34 times and was only banned permanently after the 35th time. If you ask me, her punishment is still too light. Oh, thank you so much. You got it? Yes. Let me unclip those for you real quick. These right here? Yeah, I'm going to just get them out your way. Okay. You look really nice with the purse. Do you want to help me with the seatbelt? The woman was charged with theft, but only for this incident, as prior incidents could not be prosecuted due to the lack of evidence or were no longer legally actionable. Moving on to the next case, where another nurse got caught stealing from a dementia-affected elderly patient. On the 14th of August, 2024, officers responded to a nursing home regarding a theft case involving money and checks. Here's what happened next. Hello. After speaking with the suspect for a while, the officers spoke with the caller to learn more about the situation. Hello. And you are? McKenzie, I'm the health and wellness director. I got a list what she told me she's missing. Yeah, let's talk about it. She's more than welcome to file a police report if she wanted to. Uh-huh. So, what cuz I'm kind of confused cuz everybody's giving me a different story. Every single person is giving me a totally different story. And her. Um what exactly has she said she is missing total? She has $20 bill? Yeah, you guys don't have any kind of rampant theft going on like the other facilities. So. She said that yesterday. Give us a chance to go in there and actually help her look for it. This is very common. >> For the Health and wellness director. All right. Um, let me uh do a little paperwork. I'll bring you the card for her and offer some suggestions. I don't think this will be a theft though, personally. Um but just let me do a little bit of research. All right? Okay. And then I'll I'll be right back. So, I'm going to go out to my car for a little bit. Okay. I'll walk out with you. Due to conflicting stories and without enough evidence, the officers left the nursing home. But about a month later, they were dispatched again after another elderly patient reported losing money. I'm a killing machine anyways. Hello, ma'am. >> Yeah, she can arrest me for doing this, too. It's about time. Please take me away. It's been awful today. I apologize for bringing this to your attention. Um Mr. Vanilla has short-term memory issues. His daughter came in on Friday, Gwen Lang, and she left him $75. She put it in a drawer in his room. Now, both his $75 and his checkbook, we don't know how long the checkbook's been missing, and he may have misplaced it, may have gotten thrown away. We don't know. Um we've searched the entire room twice now. >> uh Friday? Yes. Okay. So, if you'd like to talk to him, she asked if you would call her. Um I did provide her number, and um I told her I'd call her back with the case number if you didn't provide it to her. All right. So. No problem. I'll walk you down. After conducting further investigation, officers suspected that something was definitely wrong and the theft was likely internal. The nursing home had no cameras inside or outside the facility. So, one of the officers began to ask more questions and gather more details about the situation. You can ask them any question you want. All right. Hi, how are you? Good, how are you doing? Thank you. I'm sorry I had to come back. >> No problem. I think you got Mr. L was ringing. So what do you want to think? What do you think you want to ask Tammy? Yes, we Um when did she like some of like the time questions, you know, when did you see it? I asked her, did you ever see it when her grand came in? But I start a little bit before that. She wouldn't see the money. No, what I mean, she ever saw the coin purse. So has this been reported to anybody that you know? To whom? To anybody? Like I I I apologize to whom? I mean As far as The family's aware No, I mean it's like you guys like you When was it reported? We were reported on Monday. The daughter contacted me. We did a full start. >> Yes. She left it on Friday. Um she contacted me Monday. We had no idea she'd left it. She This was her first visit. And notified us and we asked her what she wanted to do. She goes, "Well, let's see if it shows up." We did looked for it on Monday, looked for it on Tuesday. Two other people looked. We didn't find it. So I told her this morning I would reach out to the police make a report. Okay, are there cameras in the hallway? No, we don't have cameras in this building. No, okay. All right, I'll reach out to the daughter but like the daughter is allowed to go in there with with, you know, she come in when he's not here or anything like that? Okay. Yeah, and we have about 20 associates. They are background screened but, you know, can't guarantee somebody wouldn't take anything. So we we've not seen this trend. We have people that misplace things like the same day we had the money come up missing. Resident was lost her gold necklace. We found it. It was in her in her little cart or her scooter. So that's what we were hoping it was a $75 in the checkbook would show up. Okay. So it was a checkbook cuz you didn't say anything about checkbook. Yes, the son told me the checkbook is missing also. The daughter the son said that. Told me that. Okay. All right. Um All right, go ahead uh get her information. And his daughter's name is Gwen Lane. She doesn't live locally. She had flown in to visit him. That was her first visit to us and then um flew back home. So, we didn't even know she left the money. So, So, how long she stay for? Three or four days. It wasn't long. Oh, she was here for a couple days. Okay. I just want to make sure she wasn't just here to uh she just came over and dropped $72 and then went back home. >> He thought he owed owed money to the beautician. I did call the beautician. He owed nothing to the beautician. He still insists he owes her something. He does not. And that's the reason she left him the money. He was thinking that he owed the beautician some money, which she said absolutely not. Cuz I thought, well, maybe he paid the beautician and then forgotten. We also go to Walmart on Fridays. I verified he did not go to Walmart on the Friday outing. So, we don't know. She said it was in a envelope, like a bank envelope with $75. And it was in that drawer that was between the chair and the couch. There's a stand there that's turned and there's a drawer. I'll check that. And that's where she said it was. Okay. All right, we'll give her a call. The phone number you said is on here? >> Yes, sir. Right at the top. >> Perfect. After finishing the investigation at the nursing home, the officer contacted the victim's son. But I also think my dad is also uh he he's lost a lot of stuff. Hello, well, I don't just I don't want to accuse anybody of stealing uh cuz I don't know what happened. But I know he's he's lost numerous things over the last year. Is that due to the dementia? Well, probably. He's lost uh TV remote, remote control. We got him cable. The next day he we come back to Jersey, he had thrown it in the thrown the control in the trash. Lost it. I had to scramble and get another one. He had lost the main key card. Like I can't find it. And after a month of investigation, the officers were able to identify the nurse responsible for the theft of the dementia patients. All right, I think All right, you Hold on. No, this is belongs to the job. Okay. Do you have anything on you that can poke or stick you? No, just my I'm going to have to search you before you get in the car. Yeah. Nothing, honey. What you had on you? >> No, no, yeah, I took it out, yeah. Oh, sorry. Take your license and side mirror facing me. Yeah. She's good. I'm going to search this car here. Why? Put your hands together like you're praying. Flip them over. Oh. That's the easiest way. Oh, oh, oh. Mhm. Ooh. You got to stand still. Flip this one over this way. Just let it go in there. Yeah, I'll give it to you in just a second. All of those belong here? Is Is yours? What is this one? Which Just put it in the backseat. Is it for the All right, we're going to separate it all. I understand. I'm sorry. All right. Want to have a seat in this car here. Walk right here. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Have a seat in the backseat. Hang on. Stop. You're sitting on the seat there. I'm sorry. All right. I understand. I'm going to toss this around. Can you just get my hearing aid out of my pocket, please? I didn't hear you. >> That's fine. Never mind. All right. This is your phone, right? All right, you're late. In the end, she was charged with exploiting the elderly and grand theft in a dwelling. She pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 4 years in prison and 12 months of probation. >> It's now. Everybody out. Step out now. Let's go. Step out. I think that you try to get in here fraudulently and I don't think it's your first rodeo. On April 12th, 2024, officers responded to a call about a burglary at a vacant rental property. Here's what happened next. Police. Come out. Put your hands in the air. Come out. It's now. Everybody out. Step out now. Let's go. Step out. We're gone. Hands behind your back. Keep walking. Step out. Step out. Can you Can Can Handcuff her. Woah. Can we not talk? No. No. I live here. Anybody else in there? Step out. Come out. Come out. Come out. Step out. Hands in the air. Walk this way. Is anybody else in there? Step out. Step out. Come on. Everything will be explained later. I don't believe we established something known. I'm over here. What is going on? Just out of cuffs. Don't move. Put this hand on top of your head. Can we talk? We can talk now. Just give me a minute. You want to talk now, please? Can you give me a minute? All right. My bad. My bad. All right. All right. >> Calm down. We're going to talk. I'm just saying my girl got here late. Come on. Take him. Yep. Yep. He's coming in. Well, that was quick. Three squatters detained in a heartbeat. Now it's time to find out the reason why they did what they did. Why are you inside this house? We freaking paid for it Monday, 4,800. >> you signed a lease right here? I have a whole lease inside. The lease is right there on the bank thing. The lease is inside the house? >> Yes. We paid 4,800 Monday. A guy came today. He He freaking called. Just sign over you? Okay. This We could talk. And as he's saying there's a lease inside the house. I got it. Was that a lease? Probably. Interesting. They signed it yesterday. Yeah. I have a lease, I paid money, and like I did everything I was supposed to do correctly. Okay. You're good. So, listen. We're going to figure it out, all right? You've got the lease there, we're going to try to I'll just come, we're going to clear it, all right? So, just work with me, work with us, and you'll be fine. Sir, you can come on down. Okay. So, it looks like somebody set up a a fake lease, and these people, unfortunately, fell victim to it. Yep. So, this is starting here. Seems like one of those fake leases, for all things. You see that a lot in Echo. I work at Echo. The leases fake lease things. Mhm. And the owner will show up like, "Yo, what the hell? Like, yo, like, we got a lease here from this person." Like, that's That was my realtor. Then what? But how did they get access to the lock box? That's a good question. It's electronic, we sign it as well. So. Yeah, no. None of them >> Yeah, the even says Innovation Home Alliance. >> That lady got a code at 4:00 in the morning to get into this home. 4:00 in the morning? >> At 4:00 in the morning, and they tried several times to open the door. We literally haven't been here for like 5 hours. We literally just moved in. Lease number, we signed lease and did everything. I ain't do I don't know. I ain't do nothing wrong. I know I didn't do nothing wrong. The officers continued that investigation into the situation. All right, man. I want to read you something, okay? You have the right to remain silent, you understand? So, we got a call. Somebody was breaking inside this house. We don't know nothing about it. All right. And to that point, that's what we know. So, that's why we There's a lot of us here. Just that's what we got. All right? I'm praying that I don't know the whole reason. >> Hey, I don't I don't know you, you don't know me, so I don't know nothing about it. All right? Who are these gentlemen that you're here with? He's my boyfriend and the other is my boyfriend's brother. Boyfriend's boyfriend's brother, okay. How did you gain access to that house? We had a code. We had someone text it to us. And we had given them 4,800. And somebody text you the actual actual code? Somebody Yeah, he did text me. The Cuz I don't have the service phone right now. Mhm. Uh so, I just sent him the through the text the number. And he gave me the code for it. And we came in. And he said we were good to go. And he goes, "Here's the lease papers." Okay. So, taking You're the one that signed these? Yes. Okay. So, what would you say if we had evidence that shows that you accessed their system to gain a code at least four times? What would you say about that? Yes, we did do that because we kept on getting locked out from the code. So, we asked him and he said go through the application ones to get the code. Cuz we can't get Uh I think his name was like uh Start with a D. He was like a Indian accent guy. You never met him. Okay. Do you have proof that you sent this guy money? It It through cash. It was through cash. And where did you give this person cash at? Uh we found them on Facebook, I'm pretty sure. And they he gave us the mail like the mail address and we sent it to him. >> So you mailed a stranger cash that you've never met. And then you couldn't get access to a home. Done by company. How did the What happened to the original door handle and all that stuff? Where that go? I don't know. I had left to go get my stuff and then the door handle. Based on her reaction, she's way too calm to just be scammed out of $4,800. She also claims the scammer had an Indian accent. Sounds like organized lies if you ask me. Oh, took it? I don't You're sure? Your name's on the paperwork, not anybody else's here. Yes, I do understand that. Mhm? But I had left to go get the rest of my stuff before like and then I came back and I noticed the thrown off was like different and I didn't think anything of it. >> bother to talk to anybody about that on Friday when you left? >> came and did it. They don't want people to access it after you leave then. Do you have How'd you get the cash? I had gotten it from my parents. So your parents gave you cash. And where are your parents in? California. How did you get the cash from your parents? I had They had direct deposit and then I cashed it out. Okay, so they put money in your bank. Yes. And then you took money out of your account to send the money cash to this person. Yes. Can you prove that? I can go I can try and find it in my bank statements. Okay. And where How would we do that? Uh I have a bank Navy Federal. I have the online banking. Okay. Do you have communication between you and the guy who sent my son? Yes, I have all the text text with my son. Text me? It's either Text Me or Text Now. I don't remember. It's There's two different apps. I do know that. >> think that that was suspicious? I had downloaded that app. Like I needed >> Anybody can set up a Text Me or Text Now and be anybody. It is a service that you could be anonymous on and set up whatever. So when did you start moving in? I started moving in about 2 days ago. How long? Three? Two. Two? Yeah. So the lease was signed yesterday. How did you move in 2 days ago? Don't you think that's suspicious? Says right there. Yeah. 4/11. Today's the 12th. And you moved in the day before you started to sign your lease. That seems suspicious to me. >> and start moving in and we'll sign the lease later. I was like, "Okay, sounds good." Hm. Okay. How can we get you to get this access to your account? To prove that he's No, got money out. I can find it in my transactions on the I'm outside. All right. I'm outside. All right. Let's work on that real quick. I'm going to cuff you. Don't go anywhere. Don't do anything stupid, okay? The officers then gave her a chance to prove herself. With a withdraw of money. I'm looking. Honestly, I can't find it. >> Remember how many days ago? No. You don't? I'm going through every day trying to find it. I cannot find it. I'm already in March 7th. Okay, so you don't know your You can't tell me your account doesn't show the you the withdraw of how much money? It was supposed to be 4,800. >> 4,800, but it doesn't show it at all? You can look here. What about the communication between you and the The who sold you the house? It's on the text three. Text here you go. This is part of the conversation and then the other part is on my boyfriend's phone. This is communication between her and the guy who sent her lease or who sent her lease or the person sent her lease. Okay. So where's your bank statement? She can't. Why? That's your phone. I was looking for I even got March 7th night still but I can't find it. That's it? That's definitely not enough proof to prove her innocence. The officer then tried to give her a chance. Okay, here's the deal, okay? Right now you have nothing to prove other than this, which doesn't prove anything for me, that you didn't just concoct this scheme and that you were trying to fraudulently enter your like living here. You have nothing. Uh your homeboy over there is wanted for burglary, which probably falls on the line of something like this. So you want to tell me what's really going on before this gets even more serious? Because it's already pretty serious. So why don't you tell me the truth instead of trying to come up with all this stuff because that if that was done yesterday doesn't fall in line with what you're talking about. Oh, I moved in 3 days ago. So what's really going on here? And what's your involvement? So I had just got evicted from my apartment I had. So I had to quickly try and find a spot or else I'd be homeless. Mhm. Um my boyfriend and his brother was helping me out. They started texting like Facebook market trying to find homes on there. And then this one guy hit hit us up about this house. That house right there. Uh his name was like Da- It was some Indian name started with a D. I don't know how to pronounce it. Um but he said that the house was still available and that he just needed the first month's rent and then the last month's rent to be able to get the house and we can go in. He gave us the code and I said we were good to go. But again, I have you accessing this house four times or trying to get codes four times. One at 4:00 in the morning all the way up to I think 9:00 in the morning yesterday. So, again, these are not adding up if he's providing you with a code. He provided me with one code and then we had to leave to go grab our stuff and then we texted him and he sent the code again and he said to go to the invitation home. >> When did he provide you with this code? Uh it was Was it on any message? It's on my boyfriend's messages. It's on your boyfriend's message? Yes, through the text now cuz we all don't have service right now. Am I going to find this on his phone or is this going to be another rabbit hole that you're making me go down before we get to the truth? No, it should be on his phone. It should be the same number as what's on Okay. that phone. All right. Okay. Stand by. After talking with the woman, the officers then came to take the man's statement and of course his statement didn't match with his girlfriend's. Hold on, man. What what happened here? This Exactly what was going on. I paid money Monday with my girlfriend. What? I paid you a lot. 4,800. I moved in today. Guy came He unlocked the doors for us. Now we signed a lease. I got the new sofa that you guys bought and home. I I We were literally here Who came and unlocked the door? Guy we've been talking to for good for this crib right here. Really? >> on Marketplace. Okay. How did you pay this guy? In person. How? Cash. Very strange. You know why that You know why that's strange? You have a problem with lying. And you got three different people. So, your girlfriend said that she mailed the money to the guy and has never met him. Why is her story completely different from yours? It's literally cuz you're lying. Came in person. Nope. Did you? We met him today. Came along, we moved in today. We were here only for 5 hours before y'all came. So, how did you find this house? >> I just told you Facebook Marketplace, Zillow. Zillow? Zillow, Facebook Marketplace. >> Okay. You know those are two different companies, right? That's where Marketplace it had it on Marketplace. The link sent to Zillow. What does this guy look like? Huh? What did the guy look like? How he look over there? You know, younger though. Who? >> Not as guy in the green shirt. The guy in the green shirt? He looked Spanish. Same color, same complexion just like him but a little skinnier, younger. Okay. So, you're going to stick by your story that a guy came and unlocked >> today, yes. He came today. And unlocked the door. Yes. He told All right. Have you been in this house previous to when you came in today? So, why is your girl's story completely different? You winked completely >> heard what she said. Can you repeat what she said? I'm the guy who handled this all through text now. Allegedly it's on your phone to get the code to get in. Yes. Okay. Yes. Uh-huh. That's Yes. It's exactly what happened. We couldn't We couldn't get into the room though. He came today. He brought Monday, he came today. And just magically let you in? He had the auto I don't She said you guys moved in yesterday. I'm sorry. She said you moved in 3 days 2 days ago, yes. 2 days ago. The lease was signed yesterday. We moved into this place 2 3 days ago. Okay. Your stories are not adding up though. It's It's not matching at all. It's not driving. She didn't say anything about meeting anybody here. She said that she paid him through the mail. It was sent via mail. I don't know what he did to do it. That's That's what my name is. He came here today. She said Brad, she came here today. She We were both No, you said you paid him in person. You literally told me that. You know everything's on camera, right? You literally said you paid him in person when he unlocked the door. I said I paid him Monday. I never said in person. I did not say right here. No, I did not say that. I did not say that. Okay. You're funny for trying to That's all I'm going to say, all right? It's not adding up. It's not adding up. The lease of Are you kidding me? I can go online right now and print that out and give this right now. Don't do that. I don't need to do that. I'm just saying that that means nothing to me. Exactly. That feels like I don't know. Where did the cash come from? I don't know. Us. Who's us? Me and my girlfriend. Okay. Where did it come from? From You were working one. You had it the whole time. Working one. >> Again, she told us that she got it from her parents. So any more lies? She's a She's a 20-year-old woman. Or do you want to like And she's scared. There's no reason to lie to us. She's scared of every one of y'all. >> Oh, that's it? >> Pointing guns at her. Okay. She's not She's not even cuffed anymore. She's totally fine when she told us the story. I'm pretty sure she want to conjure up something. I know that's my girlfriend. I know 100% she's scared. Okay. But scared to make up stories? The only thing she has to do is tell us the truth and she's saying that she's telling us the truth. Which is not obviously true. She's telling the truth. Then you're not. Telling the truth to me. Okay. Well, you You both can't have two different stories and have both be the truth. It doesn't work. It's not how life works. So I just tried. Hands behind your back. Put your hands together like you're praying. Turn. I'll give you one last opportunity to come come clean with your boyfriend. Completely different. Not one thing that you said, that you told us, matches. Not one thing. Not lying to you at all. He came up with a completely different story on how you guys are came to be in this house. So, and he says that you're not lying, but he's not lying. And obviously that doesn't work, right? >> Yeah, that doesn't make sense. So, how did you Hey. So, he said we don't have to pay until the 16th because I don't get paid to the 16th. So, you haven't paid any? No, not yet. And he said that we don't have to pay until the 16th. Okay. Cuz he was trying to work with me. Okay. Why did you come up with this whole other story then? Cuz I didn't want to get in trouble. But that doesn't make any sense. If you weren't going to didn't want to get in trouble, why wouldn't you just tell me the truth? Why wouldn't you come up with this story? Like, tell me what really happened. Lying to me is going to get you in trouble. Do you understand that? Yes, sir. Okay. Why are the cops confused? They mailed the money to the guy, gave it to him in person that day, never met him, saw him that day. He was Indian, he was Spanish, they worked for the money, her parents gave her the money. They haven't paid yet. Moved in 5 hours ago. Moved in 2 days ago. And a partridge in a pear tree. >> He actually texted you a code to get in initially, and then said go through the homes. You did this through Zillow? Yes, it was through Zillow. He contacted me like I put the application in through Zillow, requested to apply. It was like, "When would you like to apply?" I put in my information, my phone number. And then he texted me up through the phone number. That's suspicious to me because that doesn't work like that. You can't just put homes in Zillow and then put like fake numbers. Like, it it gets put in by the company or the realtor. So, I know this because I'm also a realtor. You can't just do this. It It's impossible. So, I'm having a hard time believing that you received the number from somebody from Zillow. Cuz it would come back to the realtor assigned to this house. It just said I I thank you for applying about this address. Uh it is still available. Okay. And then I was like and I saw the address and I was like, "Oh, okay. That's the place I I want to apply to." So, I texted him back. All right. Can you prove any of this? I >> Is there any proof that what you're telling me is true? It's all on the phone. That's the only thing that They didn't do it off my phone originally. Cuz I was trying to show you the address. >> show us? What was that? That was me trying to get a hold of him because he stopped replying to my boyfriend. >> like Facebook. That was through TextNow. That was TextNow? Mhm. Okay. All right. You're being placed under arrest. Okay? Do you understand? I don't believe anything you're saying. You've already lied once. Now you're lying again. Okay? And you're not even out any money on it. So, I would just let people stay without paying, especially renting. That's like guaranteed first month's last month's rent. So, I don't believe a word you're saying. I think that you tried to get in here fraudulently. And I don't think it's your first rodeo. And it is what it is. Actions have consequences. So, step this way. Do you have anything on you that's going to poke us or stick us? I just have a vape in my pocket. Okay. When we get over here, we'll uh deal with that. Your friend who In the end, the woman and her boyfriend were charged with burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and scheme to defraud. The other dude was arrested for violation of probation.
