have you ever been arrested so with with with situations that have happened especially with things like death you know I can't promise you that but you don't have a record so that's there's no pattern there now that's the situation out of Lake Mary we don't that has nothing to do with us yeah we only here for for this to happen today and the stuff is happened over time okay so like I said you know it's not for us to sit up there and be like hey you know you did this to come in cam about like that no's wrong you have to be accountable for it right but it's not a situation where like I said it's not foreseeable that you could have a future after this okay so I'm going to go talk with her um and then I'll I'll be cuz I don't want you to go back in there and I'll be back and I have to tell you at this moment you're being placed in investigative detention I'm not going to put you in cups or nothing like that right now we we'll get to that later okay make she uh can she have a seat for a

money for coffee the five singles that's gra want fresh charges yes I do because I added it up it's, it's been going on you're breaking my freaking heart I have a documentation in my car I wasn't prepared to turn it over cuz I was trying to rule it out but I'll show you what I Was preparing for my insurance company okay let's see it's it's well over what she has here I was hoping she would show it all what you took this morning and you didn't so no not make that's make it not content when questioned about the stolen money the woman reveals more cash hidden in her purse the manager estimates the total theft to be over $22,000 and explains that suspicions arose after the woman showed off a new Gucci purse and a car I I told him it was in that back pocket of my bag like which one the one with the zipper right here yeah is that the rest of it from today or yes sir she put the she put the J photograph is this all from this business yes sir okay I'm going to put your keys back in your Pur them yes that's fine thank you you think that much money's going to go missing and nobody's going to notice I mean it's it ain't 20 bucks I'm going go count my drawer I can tell you what I had off all right all righty what's your name y all right y do me f stand up right now you're going to be placed under rest of De okay do me a favor lift your hands up do anything I'm not going to show or anything I'll let them do that at the okay 13 1360 that's right 37 got1 105 that sound right ma' 1360 I did the officer asks the suspect what drove her to steal and you won't believe what the suspect says before this you took maybe like 300 yeah okay cuz I was making good money before and I was working so she cut your hours or something is there a reason why she did that to me I feel like it's cuz I wasn't doing anything right so I kind of sucked but okay so I'm I going to jail mhm because of the um when she first called us she made she gave us a number and you would have gotten a notice to appear because you would you could have got yeah that's how supervisor now you would have got sorry memory her tenure as a longtime employee didn't stop her from stealing as she blamed the theft on her low wages in the end the manager decides to press charges you can just look at all of it you can have it um and that 22,000 doesn't I didn't know I actually came in because I was planning on just interviewing her right she was not originally who I thought it was going to be I was very shocked I I got it down to just I rolled out everybody but her and another girl and I actually just thought was the other girl to be honest I'm not going to lie to you but now looking at all this evidence and time clocks when she was here it all lines up makes sense do you recollect any of those things okay how much do you think you've taken over the years it's just this year by the way it's just this year how I didn't keep track I mean you got to have a ballpark in excess of, how much was your purse how much was your car how much do you think I want to hear what you think that was the most I've ever at a time or she's missing $22,000 yes so if you don't think you took that much you got to have a ballpark of how much you do think I have documentation here to show I knowe and head north can pick this up send you a picture of it when she's done that we gives her time to all right Co the woman was charged with Grand Theft number four manager steals from the job and thinks playing innocent will get her out of arrest police responded to a gas station after the lead manager reported a $122,000 shortfall initially suspected to be a robbery an audit revealed that the missing funds coincided with shifts where a specific manager was responsible for deposits listen as the lead manager explained the situation meeting last week and she comes up and says hey I processed the deposit but I forgot to take it to the bank I called my supervisor and she says she can't find it so I said okay well let's dig into it let's look at the cameras well the cameras just happen to be down not of they're doing yeah just it just it was there was a the tech actually screwed it up just happened to be of course that yeah that that one day yep so I go she we're at this meeting together in Savannah I talked to her she's like no I did it but I didn't put it back in sa like I'm supposed to I just shoved it in this backpack that we use on top I well okay so I interview her other employees that were here that do over the phone like hey we didn't do it well we get a report from our office saying hey the previous day hasn't gotten the bank yet either okay so I come up here today with the DM and we start talking to her and she finally confesses hey I stole the deposit but I used it to pay back another deposit I lost 5 weeks ago her claim is she's been FL in deposit so she steals today to pay for yesterday's okay and she's been kind of doing this all along except she's gotten behind huh so of course she never told anybody she lost the initial deposit she never reported it cuz she was worried about her job this is what she's telling us unfort and so up to this point where she realizes she's B the thing about our camera system is it may have gone into safe mode which means it's still Rec boards but nobody can get into it we sent it back to the company to see it's doubtful but regardless I explained that to him and that's when she or to her that's when she said okay I did take deposit oh and by the way not did I take that one from the 15th I also took today's to cover to try to cover some of that one right but I haven't gotten both in there she brought back the original she went home and brought back the original deposit back the empty deposit back that she stole from the 15th as well as today's minus about according to the manager the employee admitted to losing the money weeks prior but never provided an explanation for how it happened she claimed she withheld the confession out of fear of losing her job okay we still think we're missing the other one but with the banks being closed we can't verify it and she swear she dropped it off okay so on the 15th of this month correct last Wednesday there was a deposit that was never never deposited and she admitted to that that she didn't take it when she was supposed to but doesn't stated she didn't know how it got lost she left it here no but nobody could find it okay and then deposit from today today was also missing okay so so she so say she took so what she's saying is she took like today's deposit to cover for the 15th correct deposit correct okay so I mean do you guys have the are you still waiting to see from the bank if you have the deposit for the 15 never went so that never went in either it's still not there okay and we know it's not there because she actually brought the paperwork back see I have an empty deposit bag that she filled out with the deposit slip and no money so it doesn't it doesn't even exist okay interesting but I know right now for sure I'm missing all of the 14th and part of today's okay so two so the 14th or yeah two yeah sorry the 15th it's processed on the 15th it's for business day the 14th I got you so they come in the next morning process the deposit so the deposit is for the 14th that's when it was dropped off but they process it on the next day and by the way this is all happening real fast normally I'd have this all written up for you and I can send you an email tonight that'll show you everything oh yeah no that would that would definitely that that would help but simply the manager stole thousands of dollars on a single day weeks ago and attempted to cover it up by using the next day's deposit the missing deposit has now accumulated to a total of over $112,000 um and then today's or yesterday's deposit you're waiting she was supposed to deliver today she took home so the 19th the 19th correct okay but she brought that back but it is shy about $1,400 at I've got the Act exact do okay so she brought back the deposit from yesterday uh yeah part of it part partial deposit minus $1,400 right with the paperwork and still in the deposit bag yesterday I I know what's going on this month but this is my third one just this month here or like I covered the whole East Coast oh okay but it's this is UN even at Christmas this is unusual to have three in a month yeah do you know how much the deposit was supposed to be for yesterday uh 30 I want to say it was 37 and change I have the exact numbers in there okay oh you know what actually took a picture so the exact amount of yesterdays was 3778 and then the one for the the one that uh now what's her name it's uh key e e last name is her date of birth is okay is she here today she's writing a statement for me okay so the woman allegedly claimed that on the day she lost the deposit she went to visit her husband in the hospital however the lead manager isn't entirely convinced by your story so she she's telling you guys that she missed a deposit on the 14th but she was of the bank her husband's sick she went to the hospital forgot about it somebody broke in their car and stole it AIT and then ever since then she's been using the next days to try to flip to cover so she's always going to be behind but she's trying to use the the day to cover the missing day okay um the flaw in her story is other people work here and do the deposit so like over the weekend we had while she was gone we had another employee doing the deposits well they don't know what she's doing so they're just doing the normal daily deposit yeah she would she would have been missing that day that she didn't do it herself yeah that's where the whole and I'm letting her go with this story I haven't hit her with that yet but I was about to once she finished her statement say okay wait a second now let's go back yeah I'll let you finish that I'll be right out here and I'll no problem we'll come get you sounds good thank [Music] you hello Miss [Music] Jones my name is Officer Hansen um I'm assuming you know why I'm here I would have made different Arrangements that's why I asked adhering to protocol the officer informs the suspect of her Miranda rights before starting the questioning read you something okay doesn't mean anything but I just have to ask you some questions okay so you have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law you have the right to a lawyer and have him present with you while you're being questioned if you can afford to hire a lawyer one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish you can decide at any time to execute these rights and not make any statements or answer any questions do you understand the rights as I've explained them yes I do okay having them in mind you want to talk to me so what happened with the deposits just tell me I will tell you exactly what happened give me yes give me you approximately 5 to 6 weeks ago my husband was taken to the hospital via ambulance having a stroke like e okay so I panicked when I left from here I left with the deposit in the bag like I always do with my intention of stopping at the bank putting in the night drop and going straight to the hospital okay instead I drove straight to the hospital cuz I was not focusing on anything okay I was there for seven or 8 hours it was almost midnight when I went to come home my little thing on my car on the inside of my car where I keep like my ID and my debit card and all that stuff was open I didn't think anything of it shut it went home slept for 3 and 1 half hourss and was back here at 4:00 the next day to open up like I do every day okay did everything like normal went to the bank and asked for the receipt from the night drop for the deposit they did not have one and that's when I started to panic my debit card was gone my credit card was gone the deposit was gone so someone was obviously in my car okay what hospital did you go to uh not Advent the one Okala I'm not from herea Regional yes speaking to the officer the woman sticks to her story stating she visited her sick husband in the hospital with a deposit money in her car only to find it missing when she returned I didn't park in the parking garage or in the parking lot because where I'm from everything you have to pay for it and I didn't have money to pay for it so I parked on the street gotcha walked about a block to get there didn't think I didn't think anything of it okay and then that's when I started to panic and I'm like I'm going to get fired for this missing I didn't take it you can look at my bank stuff it'll prove I didn't take it I am completely broke it has nothing to do with that I can pay all of my bills and put food on the table and that's it okay there's no I didn't I did not benefit from this in any way shape or form other than keeping my job all right what about yesterday's deposit what happened I wasn't here yesterday or today's Sunday today's deposit I handed everything I have to him okay did you make a report no I did not to about the money missing no I did not because I was afraid I was going to get fired right then and there on the spot and I am my family's Sole Provider okay so you did make a police support didn't tell your job that your car got broken into didn't even tell my husband I didn't tell anyone anything okay do you know approximately how much that deposit was for that day it was between 6 and $ 6,135 for some reason that is staying in my head and I can't I don't know off the top of my head and also my my daughter has gotten me a new phone since then and I can't go back to the exact day so that we could look it up and I was just using the deposit from the next day to pay for the previous day until I could physically pay the money back that was taken or missing or however you want to say it to be right with here I didn't want to lose my job as the Waterworks began so do the cracks in the suspect's store see how the lead manager finally confronts her during the questioning because it was me not paying attention to what I was doing on my way to the hospital that caused me to SK right this was it initially started 5 to six weeks ago yeah all right so you went to the hospital you're there for a while came out went home slept for like three hours and came back came back to work you asked the bank on that day do you remember what day that was you went to the hospital no I don't it's been it's been five or six weeks so I don't I honestly don't know cuz everything was just a complete days I was just straight to the hospital I I understand that like I'm not no I know I'm not faulting you for for wantan to take care of your husband no no one's I know it's not it's my NE for not calling him immediately when I noticed it was missing for calling the police yeah yeah course any of that yeah no I mean that's was can I ask a question I'm G to ask you a question I'm going to be real pointed about my question yeah you and I had have many conversations regarding this remember at leaves three we had three conversations right and all three times remember the question I asked you asked did you take it he said no it's okay I asked you did Andrea take it you said no and I asked you who could have taken it what did you say to me all three times I said I didn't know you said it probably was richer no sir you no sir I said he's sketchy and he doesn't answer questions well and he lies like a freaking Civ I'm going to back up absolutely if I asked you who you thought could have taken it you said could have been Richard no I said I don't know but I wouldn't put it pass him I did not say he took anything you had three opportunities to say it wasn't my people and you didn't take those opportunities no to adamant say it was not my people having heard enough of the woman's lies the lead manager finally interrupts to call her out I don't remember saying anything that he took anything say at all you said does he lie and I said yes cuz he does I asked you who you thought could have taken it you said definitely not Ambria she has too much to lose however richer is sketchy and I think the word was either grimy or slimy he I said sketchy and so you had those opportunities to set it straight I did and you I chose not to because I didn't want to get arrested in front of all of my peers like I am going to now but you pointed me towards one of your people not not knowingly no I did not yes he does lie like a SI absolutely but I would not I never absolutely came out and said Richard did anything cuz I didn't want to lose my job oh I I understand that I mean no one wanted to pay it back because it was my mistake husband in the hospital and a child at home and I'm their Sole Provider I understand but unfortunately is there any way we can do anything without me going to jail anyway of anything I don't care if I sign papers that I'll pay everything back I don't care I don't care I just I really can't go to jail I really can't I did not benefit from this money at all you can look at my bank statements right here on my phone you can look at everything I have not been using this money for anything other than to make the other deposit and it was my mistake that I didn't call and tell someone it's my mistake no I I just can't I can't go to jail I can't is said well unfortunately I oh my God I can't I don't have any way of proving any otherwise the money is missing I know that okay I really can't go to jail well unfortunately oh my God it's out of my control out of my hands as reality steps in the woman begins to cry explaining that she stayed silent about the missing money because she feared losing her job especially with a child to care for still she insists she didn't take the money claiming that someone else did my husband can't even speak in sentences by himself right now his brain is all up and I have a child I can't that's the only reason why I didn't say anything because I didn't want to lose my job because everyone depends on me I'm the only one there's nothing there's absolutely nothing I can do absolutely nothing I can do don't no not at this point so what I can do is I'm G to have to put you in handcuffs oh my God are you kidding me right now well you have to you're going in the back of my car I have to but what else can I make a couple of phone calls real quick just because of my husband being I need to tell my family where I am head out and take a right right yes ma'am want we can go on the other side that way yeah I'm absolutely Ely scared to death I understand listen I have never been arrested like this before I got into a fight when I was 17 and that was it no I I get it I I completely understand you really didn't think I understand that but unfortunately it I know the money's missing and you were the last one and had you made a report you could have avoided all of this most likely but right now you were the last one and just literally scared right now I understand that I don't and and like I said once I figure out what the the bond looks like I'll let you know I will listen I will give you every piece of information I have for you okay I'm not going to keep anything I'm not going to hide anything I'm I'm going to be upfront with you as much as I can to your daughter and explain to her what's going on okay you got it yeah I'll crank up the AC a little bit for you too okay yeah the was charged with Grand Theft and received 9 months of probation as well as an obligation to complete 25 hours of community service number three woman steals $88,000 worth of groceries coming up officers are dispatched to a Dollar General store after a manager reports theft by one of the cashiers hi you know what the manager called I am the manager okay you're the one who called yes the manager revealed that the cashier orchestrated the theft by allowing her female relative to exit the store with carts full of groceries amounting to thousands of dollars in stolen goods so is there a lost prevention person we need to talk to I have I can call her okay do you both have IDs I do with ins hello hey how you doing good how are you good what's going on um if you want to just hang out for a second you want to have a seat or do whatever I just try to figure out what's going on and go from there okay so you uh you got all the information from her yeah from her and her I'll talk to you so that was the law prevention manager basically I hadn't got the manager's statement but apparently she already wrote a statement to her so she all happened yesterday it's just one instance over the span of 4 hours yesterday the employee allowed her an the employees ant to basically load up an entire carts of whatever I mean over $1,000 for the stuff and she would scan like one or two things she would the employee would yeah the employee would scan was yeah the the employee would scan one or two things let the walk out she wants press charges the officers now deliberate on their next steps if we they don't know the aunt's name and the employee apparently wouldn't tell her so um but yeah so if that's the case but apparently you want me I'll go inside with the manager I need the surveillance video and if they can give us an idea of what all was taken we need to receive yeah let me go she should have all that go ahead and have all that ready and I'll go in there with her get all thatand her and talk to her okay but apparently she already everything on their written statement so that's fine all right I'll go man all right sh all right I'm going to read you something and ask you a few questions you have the right to remain silent anything you say Canon will be used against you in a court of law you have the right to talk to a lawyer have him or her present with you while you're being questioned cannot afford to hire a lawyer one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish wish to speak to me about this incident that's fine yeah cuz it's kind of a tricky situation that's the statement she wrote with her aunt so I mean her knowingly scanning and allowing her to steal that's a criminal offense in itself but well about 15 minutes ago the ladies who were the last ones to come through with stuff came back in and their carts are still sitting over there when they realized I wouldn't let her come out and ring them out okay um the only I have pictures of the transaction from the register because it wouldn't let me reprint them okay as the other officer questions the suspect outside the store another collects the evidence the manager compiled this is what she ran up that's what she gave away and I can show you on the big camera too and then she rang up a drink and that's the cart he pushed out and the only thing she rang up was the drink the drink yeah that's the actual receipt for the transaction and that's on the drum Drive can you oh that's this is all on the trunk Drive yeah so I can take this right yes cool um she told me to have it all so yeah that makes [Music] everything give a I'm just going to put my stuff and then this is and the employee is Amy ranking and that's when she signed it so and she put her employee number I didn't um I don't know if you need the original or the copy I was just told to make a copy of it so and then these are like when I went through and watched the video I didn't put all of this on there cuz it wouldn't have fit but what is all oh okay this is and this is the list of stuff I could see in the cards that got taken can you do did you make copies of no not yet you make copies of all that front and back if you would you will be placed under arrest for Grand retail fft yes um tell me what's going like you're being accused of unders scanning and allowing your aunt to walk out like I you know how many different felonies you can get from this it's organized retail theft basically is what it is whether it was your idea or not you went along with it did you get dropped off here or is your vehicle in my vehicle's here okay hey um I'm getting ready to go to jail can you have someone come get it because I let somebody walk out of here with stuff yesterday yeah I don't know with the woman remaining Cooperative in Comm the officer Grant answer a phone call and takes time to explain the arrest process in detail so I will let you know when I can get a bondon hearing or whatever now you'll have a bond tonight set by me he said I'll have a bond setting set tonight I'm not sure how much it was where's your keys at for your vehicle are you able to have someone come get it cuz obviously you're not going to be allowed back on this property he just going to call my aunt Shelly no okay my Aunt Judy okay do you have a phone number for Shelly I don't have anything for her she made it very secretive so I guess this is why well you going I'm going to get my up and put in my car is it inside okay we'll have that come out just finish your cigarette do I need to take my ID with me um not necessarily um I would take your cell phone with you so you can get phone numbers out of it um and then I'll just put my cigarettes and my keys and everything in myf or I have your information so you don't necessarily need your ID um it wouldn't hurt to take your wallet and phone with you but that's really your choice and I'll leave my ring do I need to take earrings and everything out or you will be made to at the jail yeah is it just your person side I believe so yes meanwhile the officer continues compiling the evidence including the receipts in the suspect's written confession so she took eight shopping carts Al together in the hour it was eight shopping CS for where did the where did the ,000 number come from that's it was probably over that amount because there were coats full of things that we couldn't even see what was in them um so she's estimating you didn't happen to get her on video writing the statement did you yeah she is on video writing the statement yeah I can add that to that yeah if it would do that that would just be a little icing on the cake so to speak and uh what I'll do is I'll just take the copied version of everything [Applause] are the the receipts you have are on here you said or what you um well I have the beginning like where she scanned one thing and then gave them their copy of the receipt and they walked out with two carts for stu okay cool that's on there um all the ones that I had time to put on there are on there so okay if you guys need anything else I can we can do it all from here we don't actually have to wait for them to send it to us which is kind of nice yeah this is a good starting point right here so how long has she been working here at this store only a couple months well not even a month actually she came from the other Anthony store so the way she did it I have a feeling that this is not the first time sure and she wouldn't give y her she wouldn't give yall her aunt's name I don't it look like her mom look like her mom according to the employee the relative involved in the theft is a rant though the manager believes the woman is her mother and they were driving a red van cuz you can kind of see it off
