favor step out here and talk to us why you got any conceal weapons or anything on you there you go you're not under arrest for nothing you're just being detained for what tell me man you don't know I don't I know what's going on the officers also detained and handcuffed the two passengers who accompanied the suspect to the dealership treating them as potential accompli in the case yeah I think you guys were driving somebody around today but we'll get to that who's who's the where's the driver acting like we have two to 10 but I'm trying to see you why my hand yeah you're just detained as part of their investigation who the investigation the the other cops literally we just here to get you out of the car and talk someone else going to come deal with with everything else um have they been ID yet uh yeah we ID been both um seems like the information they got on him ni name we didn't do any the so far they're just chilling in here some drove here doing his he drove here um so he's the driver so we're going to search the car to see if there's any like any documents or anything like that of fraud that would be in here that he would use um I think we definitely have enough for that um we'll get good IDs on them and then I mean if everything checks out with them we'll kick them Lo all right guys here's the deal this is what's going to happen Okay I'm going to read you guys' rights you're not under arrest but you guys aren't free to leave currently your buddy in there fraudulently tried to purchase a car with fake IDE and everything so we're going to search this car to make sure none of he doesn't have any more kind of documents or IDs that could be construed as identity fraud okay do you guys have any questions uh why we sitting right here in hand huh why are we sit cuz you guys are detained for the reason of coming with him you guys didn't leave so it's a little suspicious like how's he going to get that car home if he would actually bought it either he's driving it or one of you are driving it okay the officers turned their attention to the two suspects waiting outside the car questioning them about their involvement both insist that the 19-year-old is merely a friend and deny any connection to his alleged crime I'll read you both your rights right now doesn't mean you guys are under arrest but in case I want to ask you some questions so you both have the right to remain silent and you say can be used against you in the court of law you have the right to have attorney's presid dur any question you guys can stop answering questions any time if you can't afford a lawyer won't be appointed for you guys okay do you understand do you understand okay all right who is who is he to you guys say what happened who is he to you just a friend that's just a friend what was the the business today you guys were conducting with him still B we riding around for real bro he say he had to stop somewhere okay he seemed sketched out or anything or like I mean he didn't tell you he was going to buy a car just a normal day br going to the pride later on kicking like he said there snatch my phone off my ear while I was making plans like well I mean know we were interrupting that about I'm not trying to interrupt that you know um is he like a friend of you guys then yeah okay how long have you guys known him that much you don't know him that much are you guys

him for about a couple months couple months same as him I met him at the around the same time okay hot bro it is a little warm ain't it believe me I know I'm in all dark yeah so okay but he didn't say anything about coming to get a car or nothing like that this just seems to he didn't ask when you guys to drive that thing I don't even have a vehicle in the name I don't have nothing so if I'm getting to ride somewhere that's that's just what I'm I exclude you from trying to drive though I me I can't even drive I don't have license well believe me we know plenty of people that drive without license I swear to God I swear to God I do not know how to drive at all so I don't even I got sents I don't even have license with both suspects denying any knowledge of their friends plan to fraudulently purchase a vehicle the officers proceed to search the car for any additional fake documents or evidence what they find is quite surprising I never drove a car literally I drove a car when I was 16 I touch another I only knew what who's the guy you got there C is that like a fake I don't know yeah I need that photograph that that's this is what he used okay it was in this door pocket oh wait hold on what a different name Curtis the owner of this car the other one was okay so he just changed the name so do you think this is fake as well or is he actually so this car is probably stolen

failure to identify meanwhile the other male suspect was charged with driving a stolen vehicle attempted fraud and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon number four when you're bad at lying and you still try to to act innocent officers are called to a Florida cruise ship where a woman allegedly used stolen credit cards to book her ticket caught by the cruise ship security before departure watch as the officers question the suspect somebody ask you to come on the cruise ship and do something uh no she just no uh no she just W she just W go ahead nothing what did she tell you to do whoever she is listen but it should be my name though why did the person tell you to come on the cruise today you've never been on a cruise before you booked your cruise recently who told you to come on the cruise someone booked the cruise and they told us to um you know they asked about the EXC surgence and basically it was something to do to get away so someone told you to book the cruise they booked it for you m who is that someone I don't know her how did you find out about her so some stranger just no they would no it was on the internet it was on the internet so some stranger on the internet that you don't know Bas hey I'll pay for your cruise if you do what if you do what no you have toay you have to pay them you have to cash out money and everything I never ask no questions how much or none of that she told me I need to get her some money your friend all this so it's through cash app so you have the invoice on the cash app app uh no no not cash apps uh she stay in the city so I can actually go up no yeah so did that same person tell you to get this huh did that same person the cash app same person you were talking about the lady uh did she tell you to get this no no that was something that was for something totally different one tablet with ACI LED in yeah that wasn't for the cruise but what did she tell you did you want a Cru my office please nothing ACI LED in she asked if we want to go and you know to pay her that's it that's all the woman boldly asserts that she paid someone online to arrange the cruise for her but her lack of proof leaves her story unconvincing to officers so what did you pay her how much yeah how much did you pay her huh how much did you pay her uh just a couple hundred you paid her a couple hundred to go on a cruise give me a number $500 so $500 uh to go on this Cruise today yes what did that $500 give you um her and go on the excursions excursions yeah but we never did the excursions though how much should it cost to book a cruise today how much it cost I don't know he told me I ow sway 100 so who's the lady what's her name I don't know her name then how did you pay her cuz I went through I don't know the lady name I don't I barely even know the lady like that but you paid $500 to be on the ship today even though it cost you over $1,200 to actually be on the ship so who paid for the difference uh she said all I had to do was just pay for my flight so you only paid for your flight yes and gave her my money what did she ask you to do on the ship nothing huh yes what she asked you do on the [ __ ] nothing right now no one in their right mind is going to let you pay zero like $500 for a voyage that's well over $1,200 for you to do absolutely nothing and you don't even know this person so I thought it was a scam I just yeah I thought it was but she I just I didn't why did you think that because she was saying she could do it and then she said what can you repeat that H I'm not sure what you said can you repeat this I thought I was going to be able to do it but she told me to just book The U plane ticket and then she was like you know y leave yeah leave and then what uh come here and then what be on the cruise mhm according to the the suspect she only paid $500 and covered her flight insisting that the rest of the $1,200 Cruise expense was handled by the woman she contacted online suspicious of her claims the officers continue to question her uh she said we do the drinking um see I Ain even I mean do the drinking yeah do the drinking get off the bo get off the boat do what we need to do other than that that's it before you said that the the lady wanted you to take excursions M okay but you didn't take them no not today before we ask any question we just understand your right you have the right to remain silent anything you say can be used against you in court you have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions and you have a lawyer with you during questioning if you cannot afford a lawyer can me finish please you have a right to talk to a lawyer for advice before you ask you any question and you have a lawyer with you during questioning if you cannot afford a lawyer one will be appointed for you for any question if you wish do you understand these rights as I've read them to you I just wanted to ask you some questions all right all right okay you want do you want the door I feel to get locked up we're going to get to that fake real real okay yes all right where's the credit cards I don't have any credit the cor card you you tried to use wait what you mean I haven't tried to use anyone credal on here huh I haven't tried is this your purse yeah they not no de on from on here are these yours this is your purse correct yeah so what were you using to pay for the ship the drinks the food they said it was already paid for it so well they have you um trying to make purchases cuz obviously they charge it back no I haven't even made any purchases who's Mark Curry my uh that's my uncle I just was selling them that M and he should have a uh was your [Music] grandpa we could call matter of fact we can call to verify while the woman denies any involvement in using a fake ID the contents of her purse provide evidence that contradicts her claims why do you have a fake ID made for me a long I forgot was in my also to see for yeah I'm here I'm here I'm here you can help me I'm here my see works okay so I you there how are you I'm on a cruise ship how are you cuz fraud case they're using credit cards that were stolen and I'm here trying to get something like that what's up probably oh I know I know I don't think I'll get there I got I got to undo this thing I already called Haley on this Haney had a similar case about two months ago I got to go call me okay I'll let you know how it goes you said the lady that booked the cruise for you with her card I guess yeah you guess you said that uh she also booked the excursions for you prior to you getting on the ship yeah and then what you were supposed to come aboard cancel the excursions so she got the money back yes no is that what was happening you do know is that was that what we told to do what did she tell me to do remember how I said we have facts okay yeah remember how I said I can continue to give the facts along the way because we know you're not being truthful so what did she tell you to do with the excursions she tell you to cancel them I just cancel one but the officer is pressing for details The suspect's Story begins to fall apart we cannot collect the payments okay and that was for charges on board the ship and the and the voyage pair as well so it was for the voyage yeah was for the voyage of course I it's two different cards are used one it's used for the payment for the voyage M and apparently different one is here on board a different card that was here all right but you don't know who the card belongs to that was fraudulent no they not give us that that's from our shore side Shai AEL is our chief Security office for the company they give us only what we need to follow up here but so you don't even know the card name on the person's name on the card so I think that could be helpful have because that email we don't have all okay can your offshore uh security advisor get that for you guys in order for us to will be Finance dep department so how do you determine that it was her they give us the numbers numbers for what K numbers all right but how do how do we get to this lady so by the booking number and by the is she the only one in the room yes all right and she was the one to have video of her trying to make these charges we don't have that short side it's everything booking are done pre okay so you don't have video of her using the card illegally okay so all we have is a fake ID okay yes I will show you this is the email that we receive it mhm like with the title okay okay all right despite finding a fake ID in the suspect's purse it's unrelated to the fraudulent credit card used to pay for her ticket online with insufficient evidence the officers can only charge her for possessing a fake identification card okay what do you guys want done how from our side we try we will try to charge the credit cards well it's not going to work yeah but but see for me to make a charge I have to have a victim I don't I don't have I have what I have a car that's bad but I don't have the card okay you follow up what you need to follow up yeah she's not she's not carrying either card made with the Voyages or uh with with any of the excursions she's not carrying so you don't check cards when they come on so that is a system how they put online online payment if it goes through but you okay I I think there's a SL there all right well you're going so let's go you're being arrested by the way and don't touch your phone okay you have anything to say canot say no is she no she okay so we're all getting kicked off you're getting charged you're getting charged with a felony from possessing a fake ID yes that's happening okay you got you got involved in this thing and this is how it's ending you knew it it was a possibility correct they probably told you there was no list the the ID didn't have nothing to I know but we're still charging you for it okay do you understand you got into this okay all right all right get up can what can we fing TR to to charge this card in her name you need to touch my C cuz I just told him we could do it and he just took all day just to do it where's the card you use I don't got no I told him he could if I could use uh tap he said no where's the card you use for buy the purchases I didn't do it somebody else was support me can I let her know that I'm

reality check you been arrested before no never traffic M how long we provide you we'll provide you my problem from the office you want to help yourself start talking you don't want to help yourself I don't really care you got yourself into this mess they told you what's going to happen and they told you how to do this whole scam you understand do you yes you're a big girl you understand exactly

unhelpful didn't want to help herself okay charge her with it and then I just dump it in or I could write in she was very sorry for what she did what she understood she got involved in a scam she had no idea about it I didn't that's what I was just explaining to her that I didn't I never knew it was a scam the excursions or you knew that credit card was good and you told them when to do the buyback on that thing you think that's legal again the buyback on the cruise Excursion do you think that's legal no I never did a buy back when you cancel oh I just all I did was the uh Cabana thing for tomorrow that's the only thing that was cancelled nothing else was canceled for the pear selling and who gets the money for that I don't the man told me that it goes on the the man who's the man that I came down here to talk to someone at the F despite her persistence in pushing her story The officers remain unconvinced and prepare to escort her to the station for further processing who's the

yeah it's a problem crew staff alert the officers to another case involving a man found with illegal substances however the officer delegates that case to a colleague choosing instead to remain focused on the female suspect who continues to deny any involvement in the scheme anything else that you need from them for sure will be okay all this background information about the payment system

can't get away from man if I walk into the store think I'm no good according to staff the first suspect entered the store with a 5G bucket of paint demanding a refund after receiving the refund he was seen leaving in a silver Hyundai moments later another man from the exact vehicle entered the store grabbed an empty cart and loaded it with a primer sealer he exited the store and shortly after the first suspect returned attempting to refund the primer sealer as though he had brought it in staff ultimately suspected that the receipts were not genuine purchases but were randomly found where you

suspects but refrained from placing them in handcuffs as they run their names through the system and conduct a background check you going have a seat right here cars about 42 to 22 get the store so see it they may be able to get him a lot faster he's probably roaming the store everything in order for you they said my license is suspended because of a nonp paid ticket but I didn't it might have been R like T or something I don't know I mean it could be literally anything it could be the smallest ticket possible but if you don't take care of it they spend your license that's so weird because I just I just took care of three of them that's why I don't understand I can pull up you Dr my tickets [Music] yeah so the last ticket you got was like a red light ticket yeah I paid I actually paid them all off even if you have like I mean they'll literally suspend it for just about anything so if you don't take care of a ticket or something they'll suspend it if you change insurances and there's even a day laps or something like that they'll suspend it I mean I did buy a car so I did get insurance but it wasn't like a la the problem is a lot of the like the insurance companies the DMV and all that they don't communicate so if you change insurances but you don't update it through you know the state or whatever the insurance company typically is not going to reach out to them say hey I got my clients got this they just change insurances this is the new Poli they don't do that so all all the state sees is you got no insurance on the car suspended license while waiting for additional information officers discover that one of the suspects holds a suspended license and engage them in discussion right you got to turn that tag in yep you got to do all that stuff right we're transfer new car and I'm speaking from an experience myself cuz I was going through that and I talked to the insurance company and they're like yeah we'll call them but they never did luckily I called and they're like yeah they never spoke to us so I had to inform them them that I was changing X Y and Z had I not done that it would I would have been in the same boat jeez hey you have your phone yeah they say they sent notification to your house whatever whatever's on this they they sent correspondence to your house according to the mail they've notified they don't suspend your license without calling you several times or or uh sending you letters so I mean I don't know if you're not weird if you're not still living there or for one 26 all right drop your cigarette for me put your
