she doesn't know why yeah I can't get her to open up whatever she tells you do she have a drinking problem no I don't oh sh you got my there you go thank if anything she's probably really going through something um I said she doesn't open up is she doing it for like the thrill or I wouldn't say a thrill if anything she's almost she said she want to talk to you real quick she she's home she's lost she doesn't open up given her cooperation officers allow the suspect a moment to speak with her partner meanwhile other officers returned to the liquor store to hand back the stolen items and complete the necessary documentation she has been into mental [Music] um it sounds like these are the three from today okay from to yes me yeah she said she said she only stole one from the other day the other [Music] off cuz they wasn't sure if she wed out with it or not but they didn't have to here so what did you how did you guys get this uh it was in the purse get that uh we were going to tow the vehicle so when we were doing the inventory to tow saw those in the vehicle is this one oh that match up with those three huh match up with those three [Music] okay she's not the she might have more stuff that's not the bag she came in with yes she might have dumped she both time she's come in with a burgundy back okay so if you don't have like Maron color B yeah that was in the car but it was it was empty um so it looks like it's 8091 so that's going to be misdemeanor and then you're under 21 right so that's going to be another charge cuz possession of alcohol by minor4 hours the 19-year-old was ultimately charged with petty theft and possession of alcohol by a minor number four shoplifting Duo planned the theft together but only one got arrested on October 28th 2023 officers were dispatched to an Apple store after a man and a woman attempted to steal merchandise upon arrival officers spoke with employees and obtained descriptions of the suspects they later located them within the shopping complex but both took off running watch his authorities take down the female suspect I'm running I'm scared I'm just scared what happened I didn't even know nothing was going on [Music] cheesec here I don't even have enough merchandise okay is only just um sit all the way on your butt and cross your feet [Applause] thanks can I can you where are they at right over there you dropped them when you were running I mean you clearly saw a police officer running out yeah so I stayed and I'm like know I'm going to run cuz I was scared I didn't know what was going on so like I'm

in a car I heard a car and I thought the guy jumped in the car and took off yeah cuz you were chasing W with the male suspect getting away officers focus on interrogating the female suspect yeah he did which way did it go on all I saw was it hit right here and then I turned around and went for her I wasn't touching no car Alexis yeah um okay so I don't know what what they asked you but I'm I'm here for a shop with you okay there's before uh you guys you read it right yeah okay so they read your Miranda rice so you know what that means and all that stuff right right okay so I'm going to ask you about why we initially got this position right I can't even tell you to be hon so before you say anything else we have a uh there's video surveillance okay there's a whole bunch of witnesses saying things happened okay yeah I was in there yes I'm okay so I'm I'm letting you know so I'm going to ask you everything that I already know but I have to ask you okay so if you say didn't happen or you tell me what didn't happen it's going to look back against you okay so obviously we're here for some in the Apple Store they said that uh you and someone else took some keyboards okay tell me what happened just be honest with me um we was in the store and um he was looking at the keyboards and he asked me for the bag and he put the keyboards in the bag and we left out okay and oh who you you walked out with the bag no who walked out with the bag he walked out with the bag you sure yes sir [Music] all right I'm honest I I knew it was something in the bag I didn't Stu now so but did you know he was putting stuff in the you know he was going to buy them or you going to take them I didn't know what he was going to do exactly but you walked out with him no oh yeah I walked out with him okay so you know they were still on that right okay and then fast forward a little bit the suspects set their sights on the magic keyboards on display at the store making off with nearly $1,000 worth of accessories this guy says hey hey stop Bo of police he was running after he was going after him yes I seen him going after him and then that's when I ran and then why did you run cuz he ran and I knew he had been merched and I knew I was possibly in trouble too yeah mostly but you're not allow to do that with the if the police tell you to stop you got to stop okay yes you know have to Crime with itself right MH okay well you're we now if you were yeah I see him when he was running after him I he wasn't direct specifically talking to me like hey stop I see him going after him you know and

fast me too they basically waved at you as they as they drove away it's crazy that's what I'm saying I'm so can you give us anything to help uh put all the blame on someone else and not you yeah it wasn't I don't think it was a BMW I think it like a toyot truck I don't think it was but it wasn't okay well can you give us some more information on on who your boy was heay he sold you area like in fortdale does he have a name like I was telling him yes Brandon Z did you get all the information yeah I got all she had h z and a phone number okay anything real I'm I can um I mean I don't know I just know he stay he's staying in the area I don't know exactly where he St cuz he he kind and got me and like we see we see each other around and stuff we be texting and talking but I don't know his address like to his house okay in an effort to get the woman to cooperate officers pointed out that her accomplice had left her behind despite their efforts the male suspect was never located I'll just hang on one second all right let make a phone call all right and you saw her pass All Points of sale right well I was sitting at that table observing the session I saw him for sure grab them hand them to her and see that they were working together so I could easily identify what she was wearing she had maroon purse in the video we just saw we confirm that they're going her purse right okay and then you did you see your pass all point to sale when uh initially out the door yeah okay that's it yeah that's I had to meet the the elements of a shoplift no no no yeah they walked out went to the right to the Starbucks all right real quick before we head over there y let me read off this card all right all right um can you just raise your right hand for me real quick you saw me swear to the statement you're about to give is the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth H be God yeah awesome put your hand down and uh so what happened today real quick yeah so um I was sitting at one of the tables in the back um observe then black gentleman uh grab a bunch of keyboards the magic keyboards off the shelf and then hand them to a black female suspect U to put inside of her purse and then from there observe them leave the store exit to the right and that's when I contacted police okay um can you describe the the black male for me I guess yeah the black male was um wearing a gray hat um a gray tight shirt um black like athletic type pants um and wearing also like surgical mask okay and you describe the black female for sorry a black female was in a black hoodie um and she was carrying like a maroon bag or purse that was big enough to hold all the keyboards Tak all right having obtained the employees sworn statement officers now Circle back to questioning the female suspect that concludes uh the recorded sworn statement at 1648 here to both of you and that's when he took off and you took off no I didn't no I'm serious I we we all made eye contact you looked at him he looked at you you both looked at me and he took off and you took off yeah I see okay so but why would you take off you you just said it you know you're not supposed to run for the police yeah I know so if you knew you didn't do anything wrong you saw me I'm in a full uniform I pulled up in a car correct it wasn't a regular unmarked car like like just some random car right it says police on the side you saw me get out you you see I'm in a uniform right what would possess you to want to run when you know you're not supposed to run you're right I should have stop okay and I told you told you both stop come here say come here to both of you cuz you guys were right next to each other okay so when I said stop come here what would possess you then to run because you were scared CU well because you knew you did something wrong I knew I was with someone who did something wrong but you knew you you you were helping them do something wrong right you handed them a bag you walked out the store you knew threw the stuff in the bag those are your own words you you just told him that okay I'm sorry I'm I'm I'm sorry that you're sorry but sorry don't change change what happen so look I'm going just let you know I'll annotate it in my report that you are Cooperative you provided a possible phone number for him and we'll supplementally document if we make contact with this guy but you are going to go to jail tonight for resisting without violence okay you're not allowed to run or evade the police okay I know you're sorry and I'll put that in my report as well that you were apologetic and Cooperative we are going to go to jail okay yeah the officer makes it clear what's at stake for stealing $1,000 in merchandise but she appears convinced that pleading will get her off the hook right and it's I'm going to talk to that officer over there you you might also catch the grand theft charge for stealing the keyboards cuz you sto him you're just as guilty as he was for the video footage and the um and the the witnesses so you're going to catch a felony and and a misdemeanor potentially potentially you're going to catch a misdemeanor today okay I I didn't look nobody but yourself brought you here and helped him okay yes I get it okay well that's something you're going to have to discuss with yourself and and make peace with yourself on I don't control your actions and I'm not going to sit here and tell you what you did was okay cuz you obviously know it wasn't so we appreciate you being cooperative but I don't change what happened okay okay hey you know this person walking up yeah that's my girlfriend okay you got to stay over there you got to stay over there I can't no you can't you can't come over here you got to stand over there can I speak to the sergeant what's going all okay she's under arrest for resisting and possibly Grand Theft she assisted someone and stealing a bunch of stuff from Apple so right now she's detained you got to go over there can't come over can't talk to her she's detained right now she's detained right now well she she's under arrest for resisting for resisting for resisting she ran from the police she ran from the police we chased her through the park all right so look look we we reviewed the the video cam footage okay all that's going to be documented in both my report and officer Martell's report but you are going to get charged with Grand Theft as well okay cuz you you did take property there's video footage of you taking property and putting into AAG for now the woman tries to downplay her invol M claiming she didn't technically steal since she never concealed anything the officer however shuts her down fast that that constitutes a shoplift so you're telling me video footage is wrong I didn't take it you're telling me the video footage that we watched or he watched doesn't show you taking property and putting it into a bag no I didn't take nothing I didn't take it and put it in the bag what did we say honesty is the best policy cuz it I'm being honest with you like hon well I guess the video for the show's different I didn't put nothing in my if you feel that that's the truth and the video footage is lying you'll have your time in court I'm say the footage see me picking up something y'all y'all robbed Apple okay you stole stuff from Apple that's probably one of the most secure stores because they're a tech company they have cameras everywhere I'm saying I touch the merchant okay well then then you'll have an opportunity to refute that in court all right you are going to catch the charge for grand theft and for resisting without violence all right it is what it is I understand you're a nursing student I I wish there was something else we could do but again you got to understand we didn't force you to come here and do anything illegal we're doing our job the same way if you were a nursing student you would have to do your job okay so I'm being on you okay well and and you it seems like you've been fairly honest for the most part with us you know you admitted that you shouldn't have ran you admitted that you knew you should have stopped you admitted that you guys did something wrong and you were assisting him I mean ultimately that be up to a judge to impose whatever kind of um you know whatever he's going to impose on you as far as um some kind of discipline all right so in a minute what's going to happen is I'm going to have a female it's just policy we have to have you searched it's I don't think you're hiding any you know guns bombs alligators anything crazy on you but it's policy we have to do it and then um after that you're going to get transported to our station you're going to get um where where I'm going to do all my paperwork and then you'll get booked up at County and ultimately they'll determine if you're going to get Bond when you're going to get out all that stuff okay it's it's it's the resisting is a misdemeanor and the Grand Theft is a property crime so it's possible you might be able to post some kind of bailor bond all right the officer now lays a harsh reality check at the woman just understand like this could have been a lot worse over what over what some keyboards y taking some keyboards you're right keyboards you're going to you could potentially throw your whole career over for some keyboards what do y'all need multiple keyboards for y'all got a tech company you're growing no come on you know you got to think you got to understand your actions have consequences and for you to come to a city to try and commit crime that that don't look right right you know you're trying to do something good and be a nursing student that's commendable but you got to understand y'all can't be doing stuff like that you know if I want keyboards I got to go work hard and then buy them I don't get to walk into a store and take them you know you're not a bad person it don't seem like that might bad judgment is what it seems like all right you'll get a chance to talk to a judge and have you ever done have you ever been arrested before yes okay for what um for um a grand the I was with somebody but her I you learn the first time I did that's the thing how long ago was this Grand how old are you now 28 28 so this was a while ago yes all right in the end the officer offers a moment of understanding before transporting the woman to the station I don't I don't say anything personal you don't seem like a bad person it seems like you made a mistake right it's okay look I'm more mad at the other guy cuz he almost hit me with the car over some keyboards okay I'm not mad at you you made a mistake I know you were upset I'm more upset with the other guy cuz he almost hit me with this car that would have been over what $1,000 in keyboards you're going to run someone over right you know so so I'm not mad at you you made a mistake I understand that and I I will document that in my report you are Cooperative you're extremely polite you know whether or not you because you were quote unquote scared or because you knew you did something wrong I shouldn't have you shouldn't have Ram okay it's a lot easier just work with us right we're not here to arrest people right right see same way I've talked to you like I I I think we both treated you with quite up respect you know and there's no reason for us not to okay you're polite to us I'm going to treat you with the same level of respect all right so unfortunately I can't really do much about the charges because we don't have control over the the retail theft cuz we're not the victim and unfortunately I'm going to hit you with the resistance okay because it's just I wish you wouldn't have ran but look like I said the Jail's going to set Bond potentially I won't don't quote me on it because I don't have any control but you still you stay calm cool and collected and respectful to me I promise you I'll stay the same and and I'll answer whatever questions you have I'll ask whatever questions you have to the right people and we'll just go from there okay all right sound about right right the woman was later charged with resisting arrest and Grand Theft number three elderly woman shoplifting streak ends with arrest on September 19th 2023 officers responded to a department store for an active shoplifting incident here's what unfolded when they arrived that's what we're talking about all right so Shane officer Burns I began watching her hair okay there's a whole list in times of every time she took something okay had these

lawsuit against you to recover damages you will receive a notice of civil demand offering you the opportunity to pay us an amount of Damages specified by state law in exchange for our issuance of a written release from all civil liability if you choose not to pay us the damages set forth in the notice of civil demand we will retain our right to recover those damages by filing a civil lawsuit

the Civil claims department about the situation and we'll discuss the Civil restitution process and you'll be referring to this incident number but do not forget to do this remember this is something totally separate than the criminal okay 3 to five days CL correct just to reiterate she won't be stepping into Nordstrom for the next 2 years and is barred from the shopping complex for 18 months the best of everything but you know got to make better choices especially you saying how you know what a professional you are and stuff like that you know so I'm going to let you like I said I'm going to let you use this to walk to the car and then once we get to the car I'll put you in handcuffs okay all right hold on before before you get in there I have to put your handcuffs okay really necessary yes ma'am it is a policy I don't care if it if it makes life easier for you right other hand please the woman was later charged with felony theft number two Duo tries using tears to avoid arrest this time met a local Dillards officers were called after two female suspects were caught trying to steal lingerie officers arriv arve just in time to block their escape she just threw it all in the okay I'll up let's all walk back inside how about that you walk back inside L prevention or is is there tday sir is there an LP right now hey do you have a video up unfortunately I don't but we have witnesses more than yeah I'm say can I just look at it real quick have it cuz what happened close two things are down okay but did it actually record it or that's going to be hard to say cuz but we have visual Witnesses okay I'm one of them and what happened is one of them took that dealer's bag scene with one of the managers cuz where like all of us were on it and the one I saw the one with the red pigtails I don't know what you call those from the sides she came in and she went right into this fitting room MH and when she came out she had nothing I had the security girl go and check and it just two empty hangers got all right and then they also had empty hangers and lingerie and our manager showed like when they were walking out I had the empty hangers and they were bold enough to just leave okay all right all right thank you the officer returns to the two female suspects reading them their Miranda wrs before starting the interrogation yeah it's my friend cuz I have a car so I was just all right hang up the phone for me go ahead and read something to both of you you have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law do you understand those rights as I read them to you yes M okay you need a receipt just a total of everything that they were stuffing in their purse and they made it past all points of sale we got them by the car nice that the only bag yes hand as well 2 99 can change as if the situation isn't bad enough a search of one suspect's purse reveals a bag of illicit substances you have test k for it I don't think I do what I have some which purse was that in this one right here here with us you remember the rights that I already read you yeah you said yes then you still saying yes now you want to talk to us you want me to read it again no I'll talk you'll talk we just walk right through walk me through what was going on did I here why we here I came here because um this room to be honest I don't even know my friend's daughter's birthday and I owe him like $500 and he told me I could just go to the store for him and grab some stuff for him so that's what I did did she help you with all she wasn't with us okay I mean we did she know that this is this is what you came here to do yeah did she help you at all select any of the items or anything like that she what was she what was her involvement in all this she gra stuff I guess for herself for so you both came here you came here because obviously you you want to get something for your friend and well and you owe him some money I get it I understand I understand that part but happens so you just kind of took it shoved it in your purse you had no intentions of P basically what you're saying I can buy like two things but that's I guess I just got greedy and it was wrong I had a feeling sh been doing okay okay the officers decide to question the suspect separately while they're honest they don't hesitate to justify their actions what happen so the cameras were down completely I'm phone with who with my husband your husband all right well call back we need talk to you about some stuff right so you remember the rights that I read you you said yes you understood them are you willing to talk to us right now okay so what what brought you here today oh shopping for okay so you're coming here shopping pick out some stuff what did you pick out I picked out just a Sor some lers okay so did you intend to pay for them I did so but you walked out of the door we appreciate you being honest about that right shows show some type of character you know I mean not trying to deceive us or anything that I mean regardless if you were trying to deceive or not we caught red-handed store okay and now we got to address the other issue all right what was found in your purse Li you we're in a friend's house and I didn't have a purse I didn't bring any of my belongings with me so I was like can I just borrow a purse to put stuff in it so I just grab that Pur I didn't know anything was in there and if it was I'm not I as far as it's not I have a so you're saying this purse is not yours no what you're telling us a bag of controlled substances is found in one suspect's purse but she quickly denies ownership insisting it belongs to a friend who is it whoever I was at the friend's house with when did you when did you grab the purse before we left here so today yeah cuz I have a purse I have honesty goes a long way with us it's kind of hard to believe that you're saying that this purse is not yours when there's rolling papers and there's all kinds of stuff in here you smoke no honestly I know when I grab other I don't grab other people's stuff without looking at it make sure Ain nothing in there that ain't supposed to be first of all right I just don't grab random stuff that's the first thing look you're being cooperative with us and we appreciate that but at the end of the day you understand you're the one walking with the purse you're the one holding the purse when we see you it's hard for us to differentiate that from being somebody else's purse right so um all right this is what's going to happen all right for you you are under arrest okay being in charge with the shoplifting and then you're also going to be charged with possession of control subance all right excuse me all right now I normally don't do this and I'm probably G to kick myself in the doing this but I will let you call your husband back all right and it's going to be a quick call just to tell him what's going on and where you'll be all right you will get a bond you will be able to bond out all right yeah you could you understand what he's saying with that it means that you you could be home by tonight right yeah so you will get B are you also live in P St Lucy your bond might be a little higher cuz you're out of County but still feasible okay you just get a mail bonds man and stuff like that they have a list at the jail uh unfortunately possession is possession it's in your it's in your control that's why you got to be careful whose stuff you pick up or on here you know you just don't pick up random people's purses officers permit the woman to speak with her husband but the reality Remains the Same both suspects are on their way to jail stuff like that all right or if you do at least at least check it just watch it is this your first time getting in trouble 31 are you doing the itemize for girl do you actually witness them take anything um the assistance store manager witnessed him stealing the Dillard's bag from here okay and went over to the men's suit room and put it in her handbag okay and then everything else was taken upstairs and they went in the fitting room I witnessed them and followed them out of the door to their car okay and she saw the sheriff car coming and said oh I'm not going to jail and threw the bag and everything underneath the next car can you just that thank you to I have um that is mine and then our camera operators as well okay perfect and here's the two copies of the receipts I have our this now is it this is all in one bag or this is separate uh these are separate and these are separate so two separate bags it comes at like $220 which one was in which bag this is for the this is for the girl with the red hair so this was like which bag Louis bag or the coach bag I'm not sure which um I don't know I didn't see what they were wearing I think this was the coach bag i' have to double check but this was the girl with the pink hair pink hair and then red hair yes all right no no pink hair and black hair brown brown or black hair yeah oh nice my grandmother thank you I appreciate it [Music] the suspects attempted to steal over $200 worth of merchandise from the store this will let hit my daughter stand up turn around put your back to your plums together or the other way my bad there you go all right let's walk on [Music] out I don't know I think that Serv hard it is what it is got the hole there you go your arms fit right in that hole too that is a little more comfortable both suspects were ultimately charged with petty theft while the suspect found with a purse also faced a possession charge for a controlled substance number one woman thought her dramatic move would saber on July 14th 2022 officers responded to a CVS after a woman was caught shoplifting watch how it all unfolds pretty sure the person we were given is not her a lot more lightskinned um and she's been on two occasions only long way from marching Grom huh H long way from

sleeve what she does next is something you won't see coming I mean yeah I saw you on the Block there at our the other day and you gave me the trena bill which I didn't have a photo for I got it with

walking down here she had a nice guided fall down um by herself she used her hands and knees to protect herself she's teasing multiple times her respirations seem to be fine um just kept her in a relatively recovery position in case you were have vom you know her s what's her name por yeah the Porsche good right she lied to us about her name she a shoplift in here so she's saying that she's seizing does she have history seizur that you know okay that's your actual sister all right in the sun is no fun at all without sunscreen and besides the r there's something else you can you guys want to do guess if we need to take her to the houseal you take her to house a little bit is she in your custody she's not under arrest right now we in yeah but medical health is more important than well I mean take ambulance in your custody if somebody wants to go with us I mean I don't think the county wants to pay for Mr oh we ain't paying for it no her cash that she got here about you said she was I'm saying do need for oh no we recovered that so Char um I think we may sign additional warrants for her but her medical care is more important than her going to jail right now for a misdemeanor shoplifting charge so do you have a hospital that she uses has Regional both on them the paramedics deem that the suspect is all right but she's not willing to stand the paramedics op to wheel her out of the store in a Stretcher oh man don't leave that did she say she's having any sugar issues no I think we just have her flag as a known diabetic or something like that for us like just a blood sugar issue I'm not sure I wasn't here when they initially called for EMS though I don't remember what they said over the radio okay blood sugar is you there I don't know I got her look back up I thought I

at St Mary's you three families huh all three of them at the house work at St Mar oh good she wait shut she get out what are you doing shirt okay she no don't do that [Music] all right please wa [Music] system officers now consult with a complainant asking if they want to Simply trespass the suspect or move forward with charges y tell me what to do well here's it's difficult for us when you make a conditional offer of prosecution nether needs to be yes we are or no we're not yeah so have you found out if she no but she lied about who she was she already has warrant for her arrest she went back there delivered it to she Wasing back I think regardless of her history youall need to make a a policy or procedure saying if their shoplifting we're going to prosecute if not then we're going to have the will get out and it's it's it's hard for us as law enforcement to place someone under arrest to take over their freedom when it's uncertain whether CVS wants to prosecute so we're willing to do all the work and help you guys out it's just we just need to know up front Stu was that's because I think the other officer you had offered her uh a card to get some help she said I told her I was going to give her a card but yeah things change I mean if she's willing to get help that's a different story but she didn't want to tell so yeah all right and uh we'll get some warrant signed for her for false name shop list and stuff not spell her name and everything yeah it's uh last is La Porsche good [Music] rum might see the video I'm sorry I missed the 5 5 I'm assuming she's in our system [Music] probably after receiving IAL clearance the woman was taken to the station and formally booked for misdemeanor shoplifting that's a wrap for today's video let me know your thoughts in the comments and as always stay safe out there
