some time to recover from the chase everyone here including the original officer seemed a little bit surprised that the taser had to be used considering he only stole a six-pack of beer it was the right call however considering the man tried to run after attempting to grab the officer's gun we need to go to the hospital yep ambulance is coming Hospital's not going to keep you from going to jail though I'm just trying to help you guys not by punching at me or not I wonder know what I thinking you good no he tried appreciate you which one of you gentlemen was here when I was trying to retain my gun from him both of you believe me I was trying to get the taser out but unfortunately I needed two hands on that gun whole I appreciate y'all if you wouldn't mind just standing by so I can get some information from you just waiting on an ambulance to get here for him je he was ripping the probes out it was a good spread yeah one of the pros I think might have missed her he ripped it out over here as I'm pulling up I just see you like oh man well these two gentlemen here were holding him down while I was trying to retain my gun oh he had two hand grab on it pulling my gun out he's H right he's on something then he took took an elbow at me swung at me a couple times and that's when I got him down to the ground these two gentlemen were here finally I got the taser drawn got his hand off my gun got the taser drawn I pushed them off and let him get up so I can tase him the Lost prevention officers were there to confirm and retrieve the stolen merchandise shortly after the officers debrief the situation an ambulance arrived for the suspect the task of finding the taser probes proved more difficult than the team anticipated serial number he wants me to go to Target and see exactly what he's told the mic's hard and that's it I'm just going to double check with him he wants me to double check yeah so you want to collect that what's your name sir what's that you have any medical issu say it again psychosis do you take medication it's down by his butt somewhere I think only one good one good H yeah just where it was in it's probably probably fell out he's probably laying on there's a fire rippes out as it was sparking definely got one under we're get you set it up right it was important to locate the probes for two reasons first and foremost it was important to make sure that that the suspect was safe from puncture wounds and rashes secondly they had to ensure the probes were all bagged for the force report for the case since during the struggle the suspect had ripped them out it was a prolonged search we're going to get to a seated position okay there you go need your help hey bud this going to hurt okay what was that oh I got my work out are your toes for me all right so you have psychosis do you take medications huh okay what do you take huh I don't know not in the face what kind of psychosis is there a medical diagnosis that's associated with it like schizophr I mean he may have hit me in the arm when he swung his elbow back but I don't remember assault battery resist with retail theft yep and resist without I might be pushing we'll just do res understandably the cops were shaken up and very annoyed at the suspect's actions so it's no wonder they were including every possible charge they recognized however that they had to be fair and did their best to treat the man respectfully and provide him with medical attention oh dude he was all over at two hands yanking it back it was upside down as I was trying to get my Taser out onlyy okay me this knee up leg right up yeah he was ripping him out as it was sparking him so he's on something hang on S the suspect was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer petty theft and resisting arrest with violence they booked the man into Flagler County Jail where he's still serving time hopefully the suspect gets the mental health he needs for his psychosis so he do doesn't have to take a tasing again on November 8th 2024 in Chicago police were dispatched to a Target store one night concerning an alleged robbery according to the loss prevention team the thief was trying to run off with over $10,000 worth of stolen merchandise stop stop [Applause] on the ground what tired shut up dude off you for set him up I'll get up you I can't believe I can't have you on your St so I'm set you up up your feet get I dropped [Music] something what do you got so you waiting for me or then are you waving for us or them okay that was stupid the officer was absolutely right running back into the store after attempting to shoplift is idiotic at best he was caught pretty easily due to the impressive speed of the officer who chased him the cops then proceeded to search the man before walking him to the cruiser I got a bag I'm talking about you is there another knife in that one all right you make it got to work your cardio man yeah run got up a little bit that's [Applause] all where your wallet a bad there yeah you got money in there5 nice after searching the suspect for the stolen items they escorted the suspect to the squad car it's obvious the officers were annoyed at the suspect and didn't really think this was in character for him they tried to make this clear to him but the suspect was clearly embarrassed by his actions anyway I always B my P you showing where you want these clowns at all right okay I got mine for resisting damn I a trying to do all that from the police a not your best idea I know it wasn't damn I to real I ran I got two Wars right now because I miss on Zoom this one was that like who's this one I'm way over there we'll just use yours for now you know I had a feeling this wasn't heav ni instead of told I just didn't want to get Traen yeah I got two War that's why I ran that's the real reason you know what I'm saying I'm just being truthful that's why I R I appreciate it's unclear what the man was charged with but assuming the $10,000 estimate was accurate he's looking at a felony theft charge considering the man's two previous warrants the odds aren't looking good that this dumb Thief is going to be let off easy on March 17th 2024 loss prevention employees called 911 regarding a couple at Target who were attempting to shoplift it appeared the couple was using their children to try and get away with shoplifting all right you guys have ID on you I don't have any ID you don't have ID on my pit phone yeah okay let me see it you do know why we stopped you yes okay you do know that you were here as well yesterday and you did the same thing yesterday I saw you guys leaving yesterday so same thing yesterday same thing today you come back to the same stores two days in a row to shop LIF that's a shame we got the kids involved too yep can you get your daughter out of the shopping carts sir do you have any weapons on does he have ID EXC me I have his you yeah that's you have anything on you no weapons number merchandise nothing on you cuz I'm going to search you to make sure huh mypod not she's asking she's asking if you have merchandise you have merchandise now is the time to give it up yes I okay what else do you have do you have anything on you you hi anything on the kid yeah that jacket that blue one the blue jacket no take the blue jacket off the daughter you're getting them involved in shop not really you putting sto merchandise on your dog daughter how is that not really you bring them to shop and the second day in a row you come to the same store you think they're not going to notice you leaving retail stores wearing garments from the clothing department is a common shoplifting tactic however using impressionable children to Aid in the shoplifting scheme is just downright AB horrible not only are these parents stealing from businesses but they're also teaching their children that it's okay to break the law how old are your kids 5 and N you want D see to take your kids no that's what's going to happen no you have somebody to pick up the kids no okay well guess what they're getting called what about in the purse there's nothing in the daughter's purse no yeah you let me let me see what you got you said you have nobody to pick up the kids right my kids you just said you have nobody here well yeah this is your tags on and everything else what else on these kids belongs to the store I'm not going to ask you again is that swe belong to them no she BR it in she in so the purse belongs to them yes I thought you just said you didn't have anybody to pick up the kids well I do not here she's probably at home clearly there's nobody with you here so the question is the final time you have something to pick up for kids yes 5 years old and 9 years old is far too young to be involved in shoplifting come to think of it whatever your age may be you should never be involved in crime they probably aren't even aware of their parents scheme while totaling the price of the stolen Goods the cops give their mother a chance to call someone to pick the kids up I'll let you go through and figure out what you saw and what they packaged she could be here in 30 minutes to get the kids and she can have mistake this is a mistake two days in a row what's her first name and she be here in 30 minutes to get I'm just making sure she she said she's coming back want to make sure she's here all right that's that's the address and everything that's not complet driver they actually had St merchandise on they used her is still meriz they're wearing it Jes Christ blood sister yeah okay and you give her permission to take the two girls yes okay just want to make sure that we got that not the worst part is you got them involved this is yesterday today is almost 7even anything in your pockets they all in there 724 724 yes 724 my gosh as if things weren't bad enough the cherry on top of this bitter pie was the total value of what they stole procedurally it looked like things were going smoothly and the suspects would be off to jail and their kids would stay with the woman's sister the cops did their best to reassure the children that everything was going to be okay part of the trespass that you're going to be told by this staff here man' you're not going to be able to come back to Target if you you come back to Target within one year M you're going to go to jail okay Mommy's going to be okay and Daddy's going to be okay okay and then when this is all over they can talk to you about this but unfortunately and I'm very sorry and I feel worse for you two that you got to see this Auntie's going to come get you guys okay you guys are going to go have fun with her for the day just in time rich just in time Rich that's what I figured proud of okay we already got all their property off 720 bucks they got nothing on so we're still trying trying to go through everything 731 731 and then they did this last night and they took off from Target so he's going to drop PC for this so if you can you can add that in your thing but we're going charge he's drop the PC off of that it's already open you can have you can eat them okay is that your juice box is that their juice box too that's actually M that's czy no that's yours okay extra juice box you want an extra juice box look at that so nice ju like she was working on sister's conversation are you still talking to Sister yes I'm just telling get yeah fin set up we got to wrap up to come cuz I was only letting you have it to communicate okay with the arrival of the older officer it was time for these irresponsible parents to go to jail the cops had to stay with the children till they Aunt arrived to watch their parents get arrested must have been frightening yet their parents were acting like it was no big deal sit down Mom okay all right okay okay fore okay remember turn your hands together Palms together like prank you're going to see momth I set out to the car or anything Goode no for the for the trespass War just right here so I don't perfect we're going to go on the right side oh like I said hopefully this is not a reoccurring issue yeah and have a SE all right you okay yeah all right the Father Here refusing to say goodbye to his children is indicative of the type of person he is neither of them seem concerned about the safety of their children whatsoever or if overall they'd be all right soon enough however the children's Aunt arrived on scene and the woman's reaction to taking care of the kids was quite alarming I just had to get your recording saying that you're willing to take them I don't know how long you're going to be have them for because there's two different charges pending if you're unable to care for them at that point if you're not willing to take them in care for them I can't I have a kid on my own so I can't I can't you have a kid on your own so you can't take this no I can't I I I can take care of it okay I know it's hard but I mean luckily they're on spring break this week so it might be a little bit easier I don't know about working if you have someone that can yeah they're going to have to go to my mom's house okay I have to work okay because your sister's got two charges Penny answerer they were in here doing it yesterday and they're doing it today and they got the kids involved in it today so she you're the only one that she gives information to give to so I mean you could give them to your mom if your mom if it's better for your mom if they can't remember them I mean they going to have to stay with my mom cuz I have to work I can't call out and stuff they're going to stay with me but I have to work okay are you going home for the rest of the day or you going to Mom's um I'm going back to work I have to pick up stuff from my job I literally just immediately left left okay I understand completely now do you know mom's address though can I call my mom yeah my mom probably doesn't know I believe you honey I got you but they're safe they're eating they're fine the parents were charged with child neglect shoplifting and contributing to the delinquency of a minor it's a sad situation that the aunts seem more concerned about things than they did but hopefully the kids will be taken care of by their aunt and grandmother on March 18th 2022 Law Enforcement Officers reported to a local Target store loss prevention informed them of a mother and daughter Duo who were trying to steal over $1,500 worth of camping equipment from the store how you doing Protection security um I she's not she's a child the mother is Right beam okay the FL shirt uh but the C total cart amount that was ped out was just over $1,500 so m mom had the mom mom was not with her we only apprehended the one Kelsey is her child because she was one push how old is she 20 22 she's born in 2 oh so she's an adult she I'm not sure you guys ever think about that okay so was mom and her shopping together yeah they were both together but your daughter was the one pushing Parts when they exited the shore so we only okay does she does she know what's going on I came out here to try and talk to her and then I saw you guys got here okay how you doing ma'am you good what's going on today so no one was trying to take a card outside without my stepdaughter your stepdaughter okay you had nothing to do with that no okay it seems pretty strange this woman could be shopping with her stepdaughter and just not notice she wasn't scanning things before trying to walk out of the store she denied any involvement in the crime whatsoever this is all it was only in one C but this is okay one last thing for me basically says you're not allowed in this target for a year did she make it out of the store yeah she made it all past all points to S like right in that best area that's she okay so what's going on today trying okay I just got back to was doing good that's a sign that's a I understand that but that's a significant amount of stuff you you took so who's the lady outside out here with you okay the young woman 22-year-old Kelsey admitted to her crime immediately she seemed like a softspoken young woman who was just down on her l but didn't really want to cause any harm her stepmother was a bit more suspicious however since she immediately denied any involvement no matter what but Mom stepmom was with all okay but she wasn't the one carrying the C so would it just be her I'm thinking just her but I think we should at least grab stepmom's name my understanding you're here with uh stepdaughter okay where she which she was so she she knowingly knew what was going on okay so is is she in the same situation that you or okay they about to so she have to figure so she knew she knew what was going on the whole time you were doing this okay it seems like she didn't really want to throw her stepmother Judy under the bus since Kelsey was the main perpetrator of the crime Kelsey however did the right thing remaining honest with the officer because she knew she was not going to beat the charges all right Kelsey you don't any weapons anything on you do you what I do okay you don't have any drugs or anything that get you jammed up double lock these so they don't tighten on you okay person just came in did she give you a name for that is this your possessions here that's okay this yours believe it's going to be wek you my understanding the items in there it's over $1,000 now what is your role in this I am her and I was just giv her rides today she's been homeless for like a year and a half and I thought she had the money to pay for it okay now did you tell her to leave with stuff without paying or so what at what point did you see her leaving without it or were you trying to leave too no I was on my way out and she was still back there shopping I didn't even know that she was right behind while Judy may not have been involved in the shoplifting it does seem pretty doubtful that she was unaware of the crime her stepdaughter committed obviously she knew Kelsey was homeless so how did she expect her to have money if she just returned to working as of right now we don't have any charges against you I appreciate that yeah I'm going to put your statements in the report and all that you know but um if for whatever reason we can determine that you were involved in this though you could face charges in the future okay but we would have to prove that first though um like how long will she be in jail for well I don't even know anything about people going to jail I don't know um she can be bonded out with uh this type of um charge so I don't know what the bond will be though um it's going to be felony level though since it's over $1,000 what that um it's just like the felonies like we got their misdemeanors which are like the lower level punishment like a year or less in jail normally and then um the felonies are going to be over up to over a year like you're going be I I don't know exactly but it'll be over a year if we if she's found guilty your head turn the car get the Heat going all right Judy hey you're free to go at this time I apologize um you might receive a call from a detective later on um if they need more information about what happened yeah but anyway you're free to go thank you for your time thank you now you might be thinking it was suspicious to let Judy go without even reviewing the security footage and if that's what you were thinking you'd be right as soon as she left the officer thought he was ready to wrap things up with the Lost prevention team and be on his way but the Lost prevention team revealed he'd made a major mistake I mean I got his his numbers and everything she was participating in putting stuff in I'm not sure she was participating she like she put merchandise in the cart and then the only reason we apprehended Kelsey was because she was the one with the merchandise when they pass that final point of sale so she's up that's her Judy up front J was up front they made their way through this bypassing all of the check Lanes she was maybe 10 8 ft in front of her uh but because she had the unpaid merchandise that's first up and I did try asking Kelsey I said did your stepmom put you up to this was she like trying to coer you to do this and it was a no no I was thinking she was way farther ahead no it was just maybe 10 ft if that and that's how she walked through in front of her the whole store yeah while they were shopping and putting stuff in the carts okay um I don't know I'm sure if she's long gone at this point but uh but she's the one who selected like the T the more expensive stuff so she selected you got her on film putting that stuff in in the car yeah that's what I said I'll be able to let me get back with you at this point the entire situation became more complex than before the officer realized he made a huge mistake by letting Judy go and he also came to the realization that the target team was more proactive than he was however it is pretty iar that the woman willingly threw her homeless stepdaughter under the bus for shoplifting when she was the one who racked up the amount to a felony she's already put two of the she's already put the grill and two of the tens there in that she did yep mom did can you rewind that [Music] so there's one of them and then the daughter I believe puts the girl in nope she put the girl in yeah I just s put that thing in on the bottom all right I think that would be good for that I mean we see Mom putting that in there investigators can look into it later watch the whole thing's second one there are other things not may or may not be on camera but there is other things where she is one okay and you you've seen this young lady put stuff in there too right yeah there she is right there that's $100 $200 air mattress and then over here is when she is just shoving books and movies into these reusable bags at this point the officers now had enough evidence to prove that these two women were shoplifting together since they'd already let Judy go they decided to put a warrant out for her arrest and it was now time to wrap things up with Kelsey and transport the woman to jail and then you literally have to hold it because you know it doesn't make any sense that we would all right wash your head okay Kelsey was taken to the pul county jail and charged with third degree theft and two counts of probation violation Judy was issued a warrant for her arrest hopefully they caught up with Judy in a timely manner since she blatantly lied about her involvement demonstrating a major lack of respect for her stepdaughter on September 7th 2023 in Illinois police received a call from a Target store about a man who stole multiple items from Electronics the officers Tracked Down The Man and found him on a bus hey what's wrong hi someone just get on your bus with a big blue bag yes okay blue bag down the White what's going on boss oh where's your big bag at I don't have no bag you don't have a bag that's not that bad back there a man that's not yours okay what kind of b stand up I'm getting cuffed yep for what investigation turn around got for we're fighting with [Applause] one what was steing yes we're not doing this all right extra charges let's go clearly this man wasn't very smart before the cops could even say they were investigating for theft he already asked the cops what they think he stole by being too defensive he just confirmed to them that he was the person they were looking for and while they told the man that he wasn't under arrest he still tried to run which only made things worse behind your back resist give me your arm give me your arm right now give me your arm gra my sir give me your arm just grab my I got a hand right there put the other hand back put the other hand back so here just grab my phone let go the hand he just grab my phone gra my phone have your phone back have my phone this is your where's the bag at what bag double lock those cuffs he's got too all right let's get him up turn around are you going to be all right to walk to your car yes okay got my phone work this guy must have had some incredibly important information on his phone for him to be so worried about it but he was outnumbered by police and decided it was best to stop resisting the cops escorted them man to the unit while one stayed back to question the bus driver he was running at top speed to get on my bus and when I pulled over at the stop he jumped on with the bus and he took his um card out of his thing his phone case first he start yelling at the lady and then at McDonald's I know you say you took a a card out of here it was a card in the back of the phone or something for the uh he might have put it in cuz it fell out on the floor those things that's so hard to get off we think this is the same person stole multiple other times done s similar things wow but Target chased them all the way out there chased them to your bus but Target is not supposed to even Chas him yeah I think they have different poliy like when they know he's already done his M and they actually visually saw him do it so I think they went to stop him he ran that's why they told him he's getting the bus and then we found obviously stopped you and then that's how this all play out so well you know you guys rolled up on me like I did something wrong I'm like oh my God no yeah well we appreciate it so I you're good to go if you need to go uh we'll get you these guys will get out of your way in a second too all right thank you after sending the bus driver on her way the cops then turned their attention back to the suspect since he was apparently a repeat offender they had to make sure he was locked down tight the suspect however seemed to have no remorse for his actions he got his C in the front yeah front what you doing my ball please have my phone we I'm telling you I got you so say they disrespect me I got you I got your phone man we good I got your phone bro why did you move the cffs in front of you my B I don't give a I don't care I'm not getting you back out now but if we get you to the station you cause any more issues it's done it's a WRA you already just fought with us I didn't fight y I was just trying to get cuz I was scared we told you to put your hands behind your back I'm scared for what though you're full of a retail running from Target we have witnesses saying you jumped on the bus we have witnesses saying you jumped on the bus all right that's fine he's we're waiting on him we waiting on the video or something we already have a video is it me yeah I know y'all ly ifor okay I didn't disc car so why were you all sweaty when you were just sitting on the bus I wasn't sweaty I was just H I'm Bing my faces it's very cool outside today there's no reason no that was sweat face cuz your your forehead isn't greasy anymore why that was occation just had on the all right that's fine whatever the cops here were getting increasingly irritated with the man not only did he cause a scene and delay a public bus he was also overly worried about the cops disrespecting him and it's incredibly ironic that he's so worried about the officer stealing his phone when he himself just stole a bunch of electronic items I wasn't this one we already have video and we have a witness coming so it it's done dude it's it's done it is what it is all right say if this do y what's going to happen you get charged with a retail and now resisting CU you fought us I didn't fight y so I wasn't fight then what do you think that was I was just trying to go get you're trying to escape you're trying to escape that's resisting okay well Escape then you're trying to escape which is resisting so that's the charge so what resistant give me in account Maybe if you if you literally stayed there and we got the belongings back and it's like even if it's like couple hundred bucks they probably would have just let you go they probably would have let you go or maybe even got a ticket and that'd be it yeah I got his phone I phone and stuff in there too in there no I got in my pocket oh you grabbed them yeah am I being Char you're going to be yeah so I'm going to the come possibly I don't really what the officers determined the man had already been caught in Chicago and gave the cops a false name there they already knew he was going to county jail since he had two charges already it's a hell of a shame he decided to risk prison over just a few PlayStation controllers what's up yeah I told you we got your phone bro I don't know why that up tight with this all right come on so did they say they get the stuff they clean they I took they [Music] get saying they get back they geter yeah everything back taret well that doesn't mean that you ain't getting a you know what I'm saying that's what I'm saying I didn't do anything though sir I Wasing from say whatever I just to confirm there ain't nothing to confirm like this my phone sir please no cuz I don't hey down sit down I know my phone it is in here you're not getting it I want to see sir what do you need to see for I that's all I need to see no so why you you no because you just tried I to see you sir it's here I have it can I this this is your phone is it not all right the suspect was charged with retail theft possession and resisting arrest we hope the man learns his lesson and does not repeat his actions but if he does hopefully it's on something worthwhile and useful instead of mindless video game merchandise on May 22nd 2023 in Washington police again responded to a Target store apparently a customer had been trespassing and assaulted a worker inside the store so what's going on so we wanted that this girl trespass you out here um we asked her to unplug her phone leave premis she said no I'm not doing it I have an important thing make and then she comes in the store we asked her to leave she assaulted my store director okay in the Bell punch in a belly or whatever and then threw a bottle of water okay does like does that person want to pursue assault the target worker led the officer to the employee office he was then greeted by staff members who'd watched the entire incident on security cameras the assault victim explained things to the officer and showed him footage of the suspect yeah did you find her no I just got here we were at another call so was this lady with a dog where did she hit you it's just on the side okay was it like a punch or what did she do like an open hand and where at on the side just right here oh okay cause any pain no okay can I just snap a photo of that the suspect would have been easy to identify due to her dog however the officer still didn't have a clear picture of exactly what happened or what the woman's motives were to assault the manager the victim explained his point of view so the officer could determine whether she was in the wrong or not was mad that she was charging her phone on the outside couldn't she couldn't do that and told her she was no longer welcome here because she didn't want to move along and then two minutes later she's telling me Oh now she's in the store trying to buy stuff so I said ma'am unfortunately you're no longer welcome here you need to leave my store and I told them that they didn't need to get her her hot food cuz she needed to leave and so she was at the deli yeah and then what that's when she walked over and she grabbed the uh Sushi seeds sesame seeds turn around throw them at me and then that's when she she hate you with the sesame seed she hit me with the sesame seeds and then that's when she pushed hit me and then she stopped towards the front of the door and she sesame seeds like a bottle or a package or what little B little jar and then or plastic plastic I can show them to you that's okay and then uh she picked up a large one lit water bottle and chucked it against my case and exploded everywhere and stormed out the door okay all right so you want to purce property damage as well I don't know what would be property I mean well she broke a bottle of water that was for sale yep okay the officer left the Target store after speaking to employees good to his word he looked around for the suspect but wasn't really expecting to find her hello ma'am my name's officer Watkins just to let you know you're being audio and video recorded is there a reason that you slapped the manager okay so let me be clear that you're under arrest and you're not free to leave you're under arrest and not free to leave do you understand that if you run fight or flee that Force could be used against you do you understand so do you have ID on you no I just got okay well I need to positively identify you and then probably give you a citation what's your first name no I have my dog my dog's not going to go anywhere so you're going to go to jail and your dog's going to go to the pound unless you comply do you understand he's no he's not radio to David 44 I just got here I just walked up here so there's no way I slapped anybody inside so I've advised her she's under arrest given her advisements and she's just not complying but I'm T I just got here what the [ __ ] are you talking about I can't be more clear you're under arrest for assault forth assault forth when I just what is your first name no when I just walked up okay when another unit gets here you're going to jail when another unit gets here you're going to jail we'll make it simple you and your dog can go to jail not together trying to identify who you are so maybe I can I just got here so you're not going to cuz my dog's not going anywhere my dog doesn't go I just told you it was yes like are you always this Pleasant no I'm just fing got here's your middle name I didn't what's your middle name figure it out bro good for the officer for being so direct when dealing with the suspect it's pretty clear this rude woman does not know how to act around law enforcement nor does she think the law applies to her she seemed to think that just because she had her dog with her the cops wouldn't arrest her she would quickly find out otherwise that's your only opportunity you're not fre to leave some you're not free to leave I need my dog to go fre to leave can you take me over so you can take my dog please somebody come grab her dog can you take my dog to Anthony you know who Anthony is you know who please that first right there by New York yes 44 L one say you're under arrest have the right to an attorney can't afford one one will be appointed for you at no cost if you would have talked to me like an adult human being and said that you want someone to come get your dog I'd have worked with you I honestly like dogs and we're the most people but you had to do what you did so that's how this is going now got anything on you that you're not going to want to introduce to jail no I have my purse and my my coat that's it get in this ill-mannered woman was charged with trespassing resisting arrest and assault she deserves every bit of jail time they gave her but definitely didn't deserve her dog hopefully the K9 finds a safe home and the owner gets a lesson in humility and respect towards officers on Black Friday in Flagler County Florida police were called to a Target store regarding a trio of shoplifters having an absolute field day in the store to celebrate the occasion three generations of women decided to have a family shoplifting spree how's it going hey what's up hello hell what's going on can't speak all of a okay this is what she took as the suspect was a minor her face has been blurred out for privacy however the several bottles of wine on the table were part of the merchandise the teen was attempting to steal in her backpack the loss prevention employee mentioned the rest of the suspects were still on the loose yeah so her parents tell you want to bre yeah so this young lady had this stuff inside of that green bag back here she just decided to walk out I stopped her esort her back here more information reveal she's with Mom and Grandma here okay Mom and Grandma did not see me bringing her from points of sale to here okay so they're completely out of the loot on that um on camera the Mom is putting stuff in her bag SL backpack as well I don't know if she walked out with it or not when we escorted her back here that's where our Focus went so um looks like the mom is potentially walking around looking for her who's obviously detained in here with this information the officer turned his attention back to the young woman she was definitely too young to be drinking so the officer was trying to figure out her motives most of the girl's audio was redacted for privacy but she implied she was being used in a shoplifting scheme so how old are you that's alcohol I put it in your backpack my grandma my they put it in your backpack I'm confused hold on I'm confused so she's got the backpack with her this young lady yep okay Mom and Grandma were putting stuff in this young lady's backpack correct did Mom or Grandma put anything in their belongings that they didn't pay for it yes we believe so that's what we're confirming right now okay just trying to figure out the specifics so when I confront mom that was my question too yeah multiple items concealed in multiple different B soon after another officer arrives and he's briefed on the situation by the original officer it seemed like everyone involved was equally perplexed by how absurd this whole situation was eventually they tracked down the teenage girl's mother and brought her into the office apparently it's a whole family affair she was putting stuff in her backpack mom's putting stuff in her backpack Grandma's putting stuff in her backpack so we're trying to find out where mom is now in the store so I can go get Mom and bring her in here I guess we'll just take everyone to jail looks familiar famar yeah it looks very familiar doesn't it they eventually identified the woman as 54-year-old y Elena reg she left her ID in the car probably thinking she wouldn't be caught trying to steal the liquor while one officer stayed with the women the other Tracked Down the final suspect 76-year-old Tamara keatley El Elena's mother hello Miss Tamara yes how are you I'm fine thank you you need to come with me uh yep I have your I have your I have yolen and your granddaughter come on you can come with me I'll take this come on come on going to go right in these doors up here come come with me oh oh this way come here I will push the cart you come with me okay Grandma here was ready to take off without her family the officer LED this elderly crook back to Target to be reunited with their extended family of Thieves from the way they answer the officer's questions it's clear these Crooks didn't really have a contingency plan excuse me all right let's go stand right over there stand right over there all right so here's the rest of it want to see if there's anything else that's uh do you guys have any receipts for anything today did anybody pay for anything at this store today just you didn't pay for anything no so you just walked out with all this this is the from the on the store you didn't pay for any of it no which is because of the wallet was in M car that's that's not a really good excuse that's what I you should have waited inside the store with the stuff though that's it's my fault I'm so sorry is this your backpack or is this backpack along the Target no this is not a Target back I don't think it's a crazy question I'm so sorry I'm so sorry no it's not it's from Walmart Walmart I'm going I'm going to open up it's almost impressive how terrible these women were at talking to the officers and the target employees They Were Somehow honest about stealing while also acting like they were being wrongly accused when the cops were checking the other items they had in their possession it took the team quite a while to determine exactly how much was stolen Poncho is this your Poncho is this yours in there and you mind if I look in here get this stuff out can I get this stuff out our stuff there oh wow there's a lot you're telling me there's no resale no resale guys I'm telling you there is no resale this is $10 $10 $9 weird is there anything else in need this backpack nothing nothing I'm going to put it on the bottom here yeah there's two uh drinks down there on the bottom too there's stuff on the very bottom and good hul yeah so going with the healthy freeing G the good stuff not um not the black box though yeah after careful review the employees tallied up the stolen merchandise in total the stolen goods were worth over $400 while they claimed they weren't stealing to resell the items it's unlikely a teenager or an elderly woman would have any possible need for that much liquor you live in New York okay so you're down visiting for the holidays and getting a lot of wine okay this is not sell oh I that doesn't matter to me where did you guys come from before here no no before you came before to Target did you just come from home to Target so there's no other stores that you stop that my apologies really I really apologize for for this m I would like to apologize oh you don't have to apologize olog to me you didn't steal anything from me no anyway everyone always wants to apologize after they get caught before reading Elena Her Miranda writes the cops asked the teenage girl and Tamara to leave the room they asked the woman a few questions about the incident trying to find out if it's a one-time scheme or if they'd been running this thing for a longer period of time this is last time this is the first time and the last time I just okay there's a whole lot of stuff regardless we'll get to that okay talk talk me through what happened you came to Target what happened came to Target then we uh you know I said uh maybe some uh visiting Mom you know that's just getting the blood Frid just opportunity to get some um gifts for the family for the BU as I said business partners okay because we have a party usually you know Christmas party and other you know just to get back on after family holidays so being said that what's the best you know just uh for the part to have the one it's not a hard we or anything just a shamp that's but when you get things to the store you know you're supposed to pay for them right of course of course of course of course this is unquestionable it's so let me ask you this why let me let me ask you this why were you putting alcoholic beverages in your 17-year-old daughter's backpack because of you I idiot okay the woman probably didn't think she was an idiot while she was attempting to steal hundreds of dollars of liquor next up it was Tamara's turn to speak to the cops while yeno of course already came clean Tamara kept downplaying what they did she has a wallet in the car and uh I stay there and she go back to pay okay that's what she told so why were you putting things in your granddaughter's backpack and uh this is the same thing if you so you put them in your granddaughter's backpack just only one yeah one bottle even one bottle me one bottle okay because why did you put it in the backpack why didn't you put it in the car because she doesn't have a car that's that's what's happening huh she uh she's walk with me she doesn't have a push car I think I don't right now I don't remember you don't remember why you were putting because right now I'm so nervous no no I I put in a in a in a bag yes for my for my granddaughter I put because she doesn't have a push car I think she's uh you know to anyway she's a pay from the box sometimes I use if I use bed par sometimes I put it and go to register and to everything with Tamara here beating around the bush perfecting her act of an innocent old woman the cops already had yena's statement implying they stole on purpose adding things up the officers here got increasingly suspicious however the final nail in the coffin came when Tamara started blatantly lying to the cops why you say it's stealing because you have let me finish because you have things that belong to the store you walked out of the store to your car with the stuff no I've always without anything when I found you at the car because she P she have a car I W without anything and she told me wait I have to go to see the granddaughter that's what she told me but when I found you out let let me when I found you out there yes you had the grocery cart yes and you had the bag that had all the wine in it but I didn't know that they have all wine or something there I didn't know that I don't I don't see what she's was in a in a because I was in the bathroom so you're saying she put everything in the bag I just want I put my granddaughter one bottle what she uh that's it nothing else and I don't have a car so how did all the other bottles get in your grand granddaughter's bag you see in because I was in the bathroom the cops decide it's time to drive these thieves to jail they were tired of listening to their lies and excuses and it was way past the point of forgive and forget although they only arrested the mother and grandmother they all got a trespass notice from Target should get escort her out I will I didn't take anything stand up for me I didn't take anything except the backpack that was on your back when you walked out of the store forget about that turn around put your hands behind your back there's a video of you walking out with the backpack on your back with a bunch of bottles of wine in it just only one no just only one Bine uh one only one stealing it's stealing no apologize to me you didn't steal from me you going a hold get yes yes someone is who's [Music] coming your dad's coming her dad okay so I am going to give these to all three of you these two are going to go with you to the jail I'll explain what they are here's yours this is a trespass warning for Target you are no longer ever allowed to come back to Target if you come back to Target and you're seen you will go to jail again okay thank you so much you understand that Elena and Tamara were taken to jail booked in and charged with petty theft and contributing to the delinquency of a minor following the incident the teenage girl was picked up by her dad hopefully the young girl takes this as a lesson and she'll break the generational cycle today we learned that some Target shoppers aren't exactly the type who should be shopping there these thieves pick the wrong retail giant to steal from and it's become incredibly apparent that Target loss prevention employees are terrific at their jobs
