right after being fired and banned from Best Buy he's charged with felony Grand Theft sentenced to a year of probation ordered to complete 100 hours of community service and required to take an anti- theft course number three Target manager caught red-handed taking $2,000 from registers a Target employee gets promoted to manager and wastes no time stealing $2,000 from the registers loss prevention notices cash discrepancies and checks the footage catching her bundling bills with rubber bands and stashing them aside the police are called to the scene to investigate further have you already interviewed her about it yes she is denying the entire thing and her drawers were short every day then assum yeah the shortage was there okay how were you aware made aware of this so I made aware of this every time a team member opens the registra and it Flags in a system it's not for a sale um and as well as I review the closing cash that's have been closing I review all of our closing cash operations regularly um while I was reviewing we were missing a cash bag an entire bag um and we were trying to find out where it went so I'm like all right I'm just going to start reviewing video on the and on the 20th I found that both bags were put there but then I watch thisam number go over to another register that register okay and can see the cash I'll show you that in initi short video but this is the one I clicked on first there's our team number there and I have a better picture with the p shot that coincide you're good you're good they coincide TimeWise but this this is a nice clear Zoom B the Top Shot okay can you pause it for a second um so we're just review video real quick it's it's can you just make sure she doesn't try to walk out all right it's probably going to be a 15 C so so we're looking at ones FES 10 20s 50s and hundreds or in the last right room so what she does is she takes all the money out of the register um and she has it all out she fans it all out and then you can see the left side which would be the larger bills are cuz she's setting it up that way she'll take a multiple what looks like on the low end to be three okay so we three now is this common for a cashier to sit here and pull all the money out at the cash register and count it and then typically they should just take it all out bang bang bang bang bang and put it in one of those bags so they're not usually counting it at the reg we have a cash office and a machine that counts it okay security footage provides a clear view of actions including the improper counting and bundling of bills there rolls it up puts a rubber band on it sets it on top puts that my device little phone thing on top of it puts the remainder of the money in the bag those are coupons or manufactur coupons those get processed as well okay she then rebanks the register with the money that's supposed to go in there all the way to the left place the bag on top that's standard places that bag into the cart and then she comes back and retrieves both her phone and the money that's over to that same register it's just a different camera angle so you can see that it's positive identification of her doing it are these 360 cams is that how you're able to move it or I can move only certain cameras they are 360 um I was live here watching this from my office okay that's how I was able to zoom in and get that real clean clean clear shot but this is a similar video you can kind of see or do it here but top one's the best on it's just another angle is this common for her to go from register to register to take the money out and put it in the bag and bring it to you guys or is it we have a team member that typically does it um whether it's it's her or another team member it's typical practice they go register register take the money out put in the bags put it in this cart it locks into the cart and this is what she was assigned to do that at that at that point I was actually looking for a missing bag one of these PR bags was going to say something like we're doing days worth the video trying to find a bag still haven't found it um and then I saw her do this on one of the the camera shots I was looking at I'll show you which one that is that's on the 20th at 1030 10:24 p.m. I was just curious yeah no it's it's really cool that it logs that way so like even if someone was doing this on like a regular transaction like cash on we could go to see it then too do you think she had something to do with that bag I can't prove it um but okay it went missing and that's what Trigg the whole on this occasion my name's aser Kelly I work for West Palm Beach Police Department I'm sure you're aware of why we're here cuz they told me that they had already spoking to you about it will the employee admit to her crime let's find out I okay um but first off before I start I have to read you your rights it doesn't mean you're under arrest it just something I have to do before I ask you any questions okay have you ever heard of the Miranda warnings to you after each one that I read to you I just need you to give me a verbal yes or no if you understand it if you don't understand it I'll go ahead and explain it you okay all right you have the right to remain silent not answer any questions do you understand that you have the right to the presence of a lawyer of your choice before you make any statement during question you understand that I can make no threats or promises to induce you to make a statement this must be of your own free will do you understand that okay I'm just going to have you sign the back of this here this states that I read you your rights and that you understand your rights doesn't say that on that no but you verbally told me know that that's what the signature is for yeah that is for there not just stating that all right so as I spoke to your colleagues there um they basically are they're accusing you of taking in unknown amount of money at this point um somewhere close to the range of $1,400 do you know anything about this at all no okay um how long have you worked here for almost three years okay and you've had no other issues like this within the last three years here correct um I noticed on camera that you were uh responsible for going from register to register and taking the money out of the drawer is that a common practice years okay and what is included in that practice what what do you do can you explain to me so I am taking the money from the day out and putting new money for the next day okay and when you take the money out do you count it or anything like that so you just so how would you take it out of the drawers take it out put in the red or green bag and then put the next bag into the okay so you basically just go from each money slot pull it out place it in a bag don't look at it or anything right would there be any reason why you would roll up money okay so you wouldn't roll it in to any kind of like money roll and then put a rubber band over despite the overwhelming evidence she continues to deny involvement attempting to explain her behavior as routine cash handling procedures so when I was watching the video footage it's pretty clear that it was that it's what you were doing is rolling it into a money roll placing a rubber band over it and then placing it on top of the desk why would you be doing that I didn't do that you didn't do that okay so why would the video footage show you doing that you see where I'm at here right I'm watching a video footage that's unedited from the Department Store there's no reason to accuse you of this I don't know if it's unedited but I have never done anything like that okay is there anything else you'd like to add to this all right so Mr Janine based off the video evidence and uh the statements made by your co-workers I'm going to be taking you to jail tonight is there anything on your person that might poke or stick me no okay can you stand up for me please what is going to happen with my items uh they're going to go with you to jail okay can you take this jacket off okay thank you and when do I get to speak to a lawyer um that will be after processing so once you get proed into the jail processed into the jail then you'll have an opportunity to call wherever you would like your Jack this is no no Jack that's okay jacket's yours yeah a pleas way to do this like walk out of the store unfortunately though cuz uh once you're in our custody we have to place you handcuffs in case you try to run away we've had people run away and crack their head so it's a liability thing so we have to detain you like this unfortunately and you guys can walk me out of side doors I'm assuming if there is a side door available yeah you can do that see why not however our cars are parked at the front so I I know you guys know the fire emergency doors or whatever i' actually never the evidence against her is solid including clear footage of her movements and discrepancies in cash totals despite being caught red-handed she maintains her innocence throughout the process especially we don't know how to get down stairs either are you guys to walk that's really embarrassing they're going to be embarrassed after they're proven wrong how many more did you take wait one second make nothing mind just leaning against the car put you Lo on the left side left side yeah is it because it's caught in your hair band do you think or is it it's starting let me take this it's okay I'm going to reach around you and I'm going to put the seat Bel on okay actually I'll wait because I have a female officer that's going to come and do a throw search on you um I'm going to drive you to the back over there so we're not doing all this right up she's charged with theft sentenced to 12 months probation and ordered to pay $2,500 in restitution shockingly months later she's working at another major retail store number two teenagers $5,000 lottery ticket theft ends an arrest just 2 weeks in a 7-Eleven employee is caught stealing over $5,000 in lottery tickets after loss prevention Flags discrepancies during her shifts the footage clearly shows the employee scratching off lottery tickets scanning the barcodes and pocketing any winnings police are called to investigate and the employee is questioned on sight hello hello how you doing good how you [Music] doing Excuse me yes are you Destiny yes can I can you come talk to me for a second all we'll go on the back okay uh so I'm just going to wait for this other officer then okay all right so Destiny yes can you confirm your date of birth for me June 2nd 2000 okay so do you have any reason why we we're here talking to you no sir no reason at all okay so we've it's been brought to our attention um that on three three different occasions um that there are short some lottery tickets okay um so I'm going to read you your rights okay and then we'll go from there okay so you have the right to remain silent anything you say anything you say can be used against you in court you have the right to have an attorney present now or anytime during questioning if you cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed for you without cost if you have if you talk to me you have the right to stop answering questions and speak to an attorney at anytime do you understand each of these rights okay so now knowing these rights are you willing to uh speak to me and answer questions yes sir yes I have a question can I call okay can you call who no cuz the girl that still with me okay so do you have any any knowledge on what I'm talking about any messing up yes so so what's going on like I'm not going to lie sometime initially she didn't Den the scale of her actions but eventually admits to taking some tickets without paying for them so you're you're taking lottery tickets but I pay for I pay for some but not all of them you pay for some but not all of them okay um how many would you say you've taken not a lot I've been pay for I would do okay um have you had any winners not all the time but you've had some yeah but most of them that I've done pay I have receipts that I don't pay for majority of them at my house for I really I have receipts okay so on on on some of the tickets you're scanning them and then you're so you're scratching off the barcode at the bottom scanning them and then taking money out of the register not all yeah yes okay um so you don't know you don't know how many you've taken okay um is there a reason you're doing it no are you hurting for money I me I mean I know we all are times are tough but you be honest we're not here like yell at you nothing you could be totally honest be 100% so just no real reason okay um how long have you been working here two weeks about two weeks okay and so we have three dates in particular M does that sound right I you don't know no okay um so there's there's a lot of tickets missing I'm going to be honest with you okay so on hold this one more second despite her efforts to explain that she has receipts for some tickets she cannot provide enough evidence to justify the discrepancies on the 22nd the lottery register showing Nega - 20 over 20 $300 see I know I never I never got on I'm sorry I misspoke on the 22nd so this is face value I'm not talking about cash that you taken out of the register I never got over so the ticket the ticket value okay on the 22nd is over $1,200 worth of tickets on the 23rd there's over $1,700 worth of tickets and then yesterday there's over $2,300 worth of tickets I never I never got over that much money for no I'm talking about tickets so so a ticket for example $50 per ticket so that adds up that adds up so I'm not talking about cash so so that you said I stole over $200 over tickets that's what I so there's $538 worth the tickets missing and they're all coming they're all coming they all like I sto all of them so what I'm so what I'm saying is based on numbers provided during your shift second shift between two and 10 these are the numbers missing and it's all me basic so from what we're being told is you're the you've been the only one here on second shift between two and 10 is that correct yes but and then those are the that's the amount showing missing for those 3 days but I know I did not wow that is crazy but you have you have taken tickets without paying for I haven't took all that amount I know I haven't for but you have taken tickets without paying for them scratching them off and cashing out and keeping the change yes I understand you're saying not all of them but I'm I'm asking you that is the case you just don't know you don't know how many tickets you've taken you don't know how much cash you've taken but you okay okay all right do you have any questions for me I'm going be honest with you yes the evidence including the surveillance footage and register reports leaves little room for doubt can I call somebody because so I need what I need so listen to me don't pull away from going to make it worse we'll explain everything you're going to make it worse you're going to add resisting charges listen I'm not

from there just to get kind of like a baseline if you this is kind of like your chance you get to explain something before you okay can I can I just ask please I don't know how to my daughter after

to say can you not send me to jail for my daughter I have you been told before nobody else I excuse me I told you you had a past record I worked my I worked hard for 6 years to drag you out of that you had all whatever felonies you have you did not listen I gave you my store keys I trusted you and guess what you wed me for over and over and over I have despite her pleas for leniency and explanations of financial hardship the evidence against her is overwhelming you been recorded now enough enough enough you step out step out just so you know you've been record no matter what happened I I have a a 5-year-old daugh seven-year-old daughter okay that needs to be picked up and I have nobody else problem regardless of what happened I don't know how okay so we resolve this away without taking you to jail unfortunately it's not up to me to it's up to him okay yeah so there is a lot that we need to talk about all right and I cannot force you to talk to me we can have a conversation maybe get a better understanding why this happened if you want to but I have have to re write okay simple because I'm going to be asking questions right all right so the first right you have is you have the right to remain silent and not answer any any questions number number two any statement you make must be freely and voluntarily given number three you have the right to the presence and representation of a lawyer of your choice before you make any statements and during any questioning number four if you cannot afford a lawyer you are entitled to the presence and representations of a court appointed lawyer before you make any statements and during any question number five if at any time during the interview you do not wish you do not wish to answer any of my questions you are privileged to remain silent do you understand your rights yeah okay perect you want to speak to me I have never like intentionally done anything wrong to hurt you Mr Vania I need you to step up please we cannot do this back and forth thing if you're going to keep doing this then I cannot do an interview during questioning she struggles to provide a clear explanation for her actions she claims the amounts were insignificant but the compiled evidence shows otherwise I I I don't know what he's talking about like for 3 years and stuff okay no I I how long how long to the best of your re feel I don't feel like like I've been stealing you don't feel like You' been stealing so what exactly you feel feel he treats us very unfairly okay what is all of us what is unfairly to you I like there was one girl been working here 6 years she's still makes minimum wage like he like he doesn't give us any appreciation and I've been here a long time and I I know I don't mean to sound come off you know like as excuses and anything but he's a hard man to work for right and I've never I never like intentionally meant like I never like in my mind like stole anything okay I just feel like we're all treated so unfairly and so what I mean what do you think happen when you're pocketing money or when you're taking money from the register or when you're not bringing stuff up and then later on IJ I understand it wasn't a lot okay and I didn't mean I I know it did it do good it's it's fair so just to get a time frame listen it's a lot it's a lot of video it's a lot that you have been done and you know it and I am not judging youen been doing that let me I understand I understand it might not bit for years but it's been going on for months okay so approximately best regulation is I'm not trying to for you to snitch on yourself but to the best of your recollection if you can pinpoint how long ago this started happening months months before Christmas of last year she insists she didn't realize the impact of her actions but eventually admits to taking money more frequently than she initially stated after Christmas yeah so like the beginning of this year yeah it's yeah like January I've been here eight years I'm I'm not that type of person I'm just not and so you always kept the same schedule correct yeah all right so is Tuesday to what day Saturday what do you mean Tuesday to Saturday work I work um yeah Tuesday to Saturday from 8: to 3:00 p.m. 2:30 yeah okay if you started taking money what was the initial amount that you were taking that you can recall a couple dollars here a couple dollars is what like $2 yeah like2 $5 it started with $5 yeah I mean was it every day back then in January no no when did it become every day I think I was do it every day I mean it was a dollar here two or or here here and there you know I to get in a tip J we only talking about a dollar a month like $1 $2 I didn't take like 20s and big amounts I didn't nobody mentioned 20s but you did take 20s no I would go and get change a lot okay all right I'm not going to argue with you I'm I'm trying I understand for you to tell me a little bit to help me out help yourself out I know I'm trying but I didn't like steal a lot like at a time it was little amounts and it was so we're now basically in June so basically a 6mon period correct all right let's say if you were taking $5 per day $10 per day $20 add okay the investigation reveals her method the thefts span multiple months with consistent patterns of manipulation and pocketing cash how much do you think you have stolen from the store in total not a lot not a lot now whenever there's a cash transaction I'm just looking at the patterns here seems to me like whenever there is a cash transaction you don't rank up the cash transactions you either ring it up you cancel it you don't ring it up you leave you put the money in provide change you split that amount into the tip chart you take some cash then or a combination of both or later on you come back and take cash so it's a lot maybe I didn't realize I I don't mean I I didn't think I was doing it at all it's been every day for the past at least for the past month it's only it hasn't been that much not that it makes a difference but it I mean I don't take a lot at a time and I I know that doesn't make a difference a day over time it how much do you take a day $10 $10 yeah yeah Tino please come me handle this without actually arresting me I've done so much for you too did you give him his feedback Tino please don't do this to me I don't know how to pick up my daughter it's my daughter that's what I'm worried about you were told you were told many times what you have done is uh enough damage to me it's it's totaling 19,000 plus is it there's no a corporate will come after you and I this is my first can we handle this with a court gate or something please have my keys and I got to go please Tino I begging you I don't know what to do about my

oh my God she continues to appeal to the officer's emotions citing her daughter in financial struggles but her efforts fail why can't be handle this is some kind of a cour DAT or something I don't think he can I don't think it could be in agreement for you to repay all this money back I don't I I decid the what's that I'm just I'm concerned about picking up my daughter from no I don't have any from Boys and Girls Club where she's at and she's also she's already going through all this anxiety and stuff and I got nobody to watch her nobody I mean it's just me and her and I don't know how else to isn't there any way we could somehow handle it without taking me to jail I'm sorry I don't even have anyone to help me how long would I have to stay in jail for like can I can ba out how long does that take hours okay so let me ask you this last question throughout the time that you've been here you think you stole more than $750 7 I don't think so you don't think so I guess I have I I guess I I don't think I think some of the times when you see me taking 20s it was EX Chang in okay so I don't I didn't think the exchange The Exchange does happen the problem is you're not putting in what you're taking out so that's not an exchange no how is that an exchange but I I take I do I I know but I don't take you know you know you're you know the game you're playing instead of just taking responsibility for the situation she plays the blame game and attempts to delay the inevitable you so know how to handle this my daughter right isn't there a way we can handle this out of jail I'm sorry if Tino said so would I been able to yeah I asked him many times I can't believe he's doing this is what I I mean I I understand the issue this is what I mean he treats us all so badly all of us
