Hi, I um would like to report a theft. I'm one of the managers at Gabe's. She stole a cart full of things in a in a laundry bag. >> What kind of car? >> Uh Jeep Renegade. >> What color? >> Uh neon. >> I only went back inside for my wallet. That's what she told police. Then they opened the car and the store tags told a different story. >> [sighs and gasps] >> A woman is stopped on suspicion of stealing a cart of goods from a store. She says she only went back in for her wallet, but the officers find store tags in her car and her story starts to unravel. >> TURN YOUR VEHICLE OFF. PUT YOUR KEYS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. Just stay right there then. All right. >> my purse. >> Hands where I can see them everybody. All righty. All right. Ma'am, this is the city of Beavercreek. You're being stopped on suspicion of theft. >> This is a Terry stop. The manager's report matching the Jeep and plate gives officers reasonable suspicion. Enough to briefly detain her, but not yet an arrest. >> I didn't steal anything. >> I just love kids. >> Exactly, okay. Keep your hands where I can see them. >> Yes. >> All righty. What's the little one doing? What's his name? >> his iPad. His name's Elijah. >> Elijah? >> I don't have his skates. >> Oh, that's okay, buddy. All righty.

I just wanted to make sure it looked like >> You want Do you want to see it? >> Yeah. Can you just turn around real quick? You don't have to show me that. But, I'm just going to pat you down, okay? >> Yeah. >> You Actually, Officer Stevens is going to pat you down. That seems a little suspicious, you know what I'm >> I know, but I swear I went I really went back in there looking for my wallet and I came right back out. So, that has to be what it is.

Would you care if I looked at some of these items in here? >> I can. >> She agrees to the search. That's consent, so no warrant is needed. >> [clears throat] >> Anything in plain view, like those store tags, can now be used against her. >> All right, I just wanted to double-check. What's up, buddy? >> You remember that Thomas the Tank Engine? >> Thomas the >> I searched my whole car. It looks a mess cuz I lost my wallet.

It goes to my niece and nephew. I haven't been able to go over there. >> I hope you're not lying to me. >> I'm not lying to you. I How could I walk out with that much stuff, sir? >> I mean, it's it's happened before. >> No. No. No. You can even get a hold of Five Below. >> Okay. And if I mean, if you were to have taken it and it's all less than a thousand dollars and you don't have any warrants or wants for your arrest or anything like that, you wouldn't you'd be just getting a ticket and have to go to court. So, that'd be there's a couple of ifs there, but are you a hundred percent certain that you didn't take a single thing? Because Gabe's going to tell us. >> us? Okay, they can tell you. >> Okay. All right, I just It's just weird. They normally don't call us. >> I know, but I've been in there I went back in there. Maybe they thought I took something. Not unless he grabbed something.

Yeah, just give us 1 second. >> She named that trash can. She named these two wooden lanterns. Um she named some other things, but like I said, I I mean, there's so much stuff in here. I would have to We'd have to unpack all this to see it all. But it's definitely a theft. Did she come in with anything? So, they have you pushing out a cart. >> Pushing out a cart? >> Uh-huh. >> Just going to be straight with us. >> I Okay, I had the trash can. >> Thank you.

Well, >> the baskets, the trash can, the lantern. >> Yeah, the lanterns. >> sheets >> She just named the same items the manager reported. That match creates probable cause, the legal line between detention and arrest. >> [sighs and gasps] >> Her earlier denial also hurts her credibility. >> Okay. >> And the rest is clothes. >> Everything in >> Everything else from Five Below. >> What about everything in this >> I've No. I've searching for my wallet. That's why everything looks like this. >> So, so everything in this >> This is from Five Below. This stuff is from Gabe's. This >> All that's from Gabe's? >> Yes. >> Okay, here. Give it to me. >> Yes. >> So, anything with a Gabe's sticker or a Gabe's tag I can assume is from Gabe's. Is that correct for today? >> No, not today.
