She was doing all that texting real quick, man. See, the cops when they first get there they going to be like, "Hey, get off that phone. You know what I mean?" Because they going to be like, "Uh uh uh uh get away. I got caught." >> [clears throat] >> He's got to be in the bathroom. Sierra 2, what's the progress on our second guy? He's not in the store.

No. No. She got to look around and say, "Uh, somewhere around here." Uh, no. It would I mean, it would make a little bit more sense that, "Hey, I I don't know. I'm not from here. I I have the location in my phone like on the GPS, but I don't know it off the top of my head." That makes more sense. But, listen to what she says, though. >> Where?

Is the address on your phone? >> No. Somewhere. >> Well, they go all the way down to >> Can you open up your phone? >> I see the the officer had to See, the officer led her in that direction to say that, cuz she wasn't going to say that. >> Okay.

The fact that your boyfriend or whatever that was had just got out of that black Nissan and took off before I got to what what I walked out? I think this is all the same. You're just a different player in the same game, and I've done millions of times. So, I would appreciate it if you just knocked the [ __ ] off. Okay? Did he give you the check to send you in there? >> No, he did not. >> He did not. So, who is he? >> He Do I have to say his name? >> No. >> he is. >> He's >> Boyfriend, friend? >> I don't know. >> Okay. >> Friend, friend. >> He's a friend, right?

Can I have my phone now? >> You don't have your phone right now, no. She just confessed everything. >> Yeah, I mean that's pretty much that in a nutshell because a thousand I feel like is on the high end honestly cuz a lot of times when they do when you see people going in here cashing these checks and stuff like that, there's people that make fake checks. And for the most part they'll find like homeless people and you know, or um junkies and stuff like that have them go in there and like do these crash out missions and stuff. But I mean she she's the crash dummy for the day. So um but a thousand dollar cut that might be enticing to some people, you know what I mean? But um the chances that you getting caught is so high in this type of work. You're going to They're trained to detect these things. And I wonder if the guy really does have something to do with it. That's why he bounced. >> So we started finding the boyfriend and his So the boyfriend they pulled up. And he looked at me and he started walking briskly away and I'm like and I can see you're in here with her.

TD Bank, we've got like $2,600. We got the female. The male took off, but we can't find him. What do you think about leaving the car with two unmarked detectives watching it to see if he tries to come back to the car? Give it like 30 30 minutes, and then if they don't we'll just tow it then. All right, bye. >> I'm going to tow her next. >> I'm arresting her for I don't know if I'll tow her or not. Thank you so much.
