I'm sorry. No, >> don't even play that game. >> Don't play that game. You speak perfectly fine right now. So, stop with that. Whatever's happening right now, it's over. >> I have a flight to cash. Well, my father's camera, so I need to go home. >> Listen to me. The camera there 80 glasses. Keep them. >> I was just trying to do something so I can try to make some money and pay for my dog. I swear. >> So stupid. Some of these shoplifterss think that all it takes to get away with it is a little confidence [music] and a clever story. But when their plans start falling apart, their excuses don't make sense and reality catches up fast with them when these shoplifterss think they can outsmart the police with their schemes. >> Yeah, but you're looking like something's out there. >> I'm looking to see if he got to my car. >> Yeah, it's right there. >> You're worried about something? Yes. >> On the 11th of March, 2025, the cops were dispatched to Walmart after reports of a shoplifting. When the officers got there, they were escorted into loss prevention where the suspect was being held. >> Hey, how are you? >> Fine. How are you? >> Good. I'm Officer Sullivan. Um, do you have anything else on you? >> No. Nobody has. >> Okay. Well, I know I have I have to do my part, too. Okay. It's 25 Central. >> Yeah. 51 my name and date of birth. >> Get two receipts, please. Thank you. >> I want to go ahead. I got an ice for getting your name, >> please. >> No, you need to sit down. Sit down. I'm I'm not Sit down. You weren't worried about your child when you left them in the car, so you're going to sit down. >> Can I at least make a >> No, not right now. >> The suspect told the officer that her name was Leverta Brewer and said she was worried about her 12-year-old daughter, who she said was waiting in the parking lot. The officer told the woman that he'd send a unit to check on her daughter. But as for Levera, if that was her real name, she wasn't going anywhere. >> Is this your real name? >> Yes. >> So, we're not finding you in the system. So, if you're not giving me the real name and your real information, then it's going to be a real problem. >> Ma'am, that's my real name. >> That's why she didn't find me in the system. I've never been here. I >> My system has nothing to do with Walmart. >> Oh, she said she was looking up to see if I've been here stealing. This is to do with our system. So, do you not have a license, a driver's license? You've never had a ID in the state of Arkansas? >> Yes. Yes, I had ID. >> Okay. Do you have that in your purse? >> No. >> You don't have any identification in your purse? >> Just show. >> Leverta claimed that the whole fiasco was just a big misunderstanding, telling the officer that her name was Joy Levera. While the officer radio dispatched for a name check, the staff and the officers looked for her child. But at that point, they weren't having any luck. >> Can you give me your kids' name so I can at least page them? >> I just gave it to her. She's not in the store. She would have >> She's not in the store. Is you Do you have a car outside? >> No, ma'am. >> What do you think she would have went? >> She would only walk. She's not >> What does she have on? >> Black. I want to say pink. I believe >> black leggings and a hoodie. >> Dennis, you never saw a kid with her, did you? >> Oh, no. All right. This is a trespass warrant. That state you're guilty of and legally trespasses you from all Walmart. >> I got it. You >> come back to Walmart after today, you can be arrested. >> As for the officers, they were starting to suspect that she didn't have a child with her. Like for some reason, she was using her child as some sort of distraction. Either way, she finished up signing the trespass warrant and she was placed under arrest. >> All right, >> give me this one. >> And you sure your child's out there? >> We We want her taken care of. Okay. >> Double lock these real quick. >> Going to be whatever y'all. >> You don't have nothing else on you. That'll be all right. I'm going to patch you down. >> Oh, my car. Can you put that in my purse? >> Mhm. >> Nothing else, right? >> All right. You can sit down. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Why were you stealing? >> Why would you drive for >> for help? >> So, you sure you didn't drive? >> Please don't go get my key. >> Drive suspended. She drove a Mercedes. >> Wa. >> Ma'am, don't go get my kid. >> Wa. >> Because I don't want you to get my kid. >> Your kid? You weren't worried about your kid when he was in here stealing. >> I got it. Can we go? >> We'll go when I say go. >> So, while she initially told the cops that she'd been on foot and hadn't driven to Walmart, the officer found the keys to her Mercedes [music] in her purse. The question was, why would she lie about it? >> What kind of car are you driving? >> It's red. >> A red Mercedes SUV or car? Yeah. Which one? The first one. >> SUV. >> I mean, he won't be able to drive. Does he have somebody that got driver's license? >> We're going to get her. We're going to get your daughter picked up by somebody, but we need to make sure we get her first before we call somebody. Okay. >> Our primary concern is getting her. >> She's not going to be there. Can I please? >> You've lied to me so much. I don't know what is the truth. >> Go check. >> We've got somebody going to check. So you you've lied about having a daughter here this whole time. >> Copy of that and y'all can do however. >> Where's she at? >> Yes, sir. >> Where's she at? >> She's not going to go with you. I need my mom. You can dial it. >> Where is your daughter at? >> She's not here. She's been dropped off. Can you please >> been dropped off? Where? >> At tutoring. Well, first you tell me on the side of the building, then you tell me in a car. So, what is it? >> She was obviously hiding something and her story didn't make much sense. Unless she was lying again, there was no reason she couldn't tell the cops where her child was. Either way, the cop was going to find out. >> You're getting mad over your own lies. >> I'm not getting mad over my own lies. I would want you to just grab my person. >> That's not how this works. When you get a kid involved, we got to make sure the kid is safe. She said, >> "You say that, but how am I supposed to know?" >> Yeah, you lied about everything else and now why would we know that she's not actually sitting out here? Where's this car parked >> on that end? >> What kind of car is it other than Mercedes? What? >> It's red. >> A red. >> Yeah, I told LT he said he was going to go look for it, but I don't know if he's located it yet. >> So, is she in there or not? >> Hello. >> Okay. You're just making it worse on yourself. >> I just told you she wouldn't. You just asked me. >> Yeah, but you're looking like something's out there. >> I'm looking to see if he got to my car. >> Yeah, it's right there. >> You're worried about something? >> Yes, >> she looked extremely nervous. Whatever she was hiding in her vehicle, they were going to find out what it was regardless, especially given the fact that the cop had already found her keys. Can you please not tow my car? I'll have someone come get it in the next day. >> That's not I don't get the choice of that. That's up to him. Nope. Sit down. >> Ma'am, you can use your phone. Can you please call? Here's the >> Can you please call? >> Huh? >> Can you please call? >> Is she really at tutoring? >> You can dial. You can dial it. You can dial my mom. 51. >> All right. Ready? >> Mhm. >> Which way? You can go straight. >> You can quit walking so fast. >> Okay. Well, I'm just trying to We're going to go through. >> Oh, okay. Well, you was pointing that way. I'm trying to go whichever way you want to go. >> You can walk slower. Stop walking so fast. I'm just trying to get to the cop. Do you have anything else on you? >> No, you patting me down. >> I know, but I'm asking cuz when you go to jail, it's going to be another charge if you do. >> Can you scoot your seat up? >> That's not a seat. That's the back of the >> cage. Give me one second. here. >> Huh? >> Um, so talked to Walmart, told them about the car and all that stuff. Didn't catch squat. We do have a slacker, so we're all good there. But if they go and sleep, >> it was unclear what she was so nervous about in her car, but regardless, her trip to jail was inevitable, so she was taken to the jail house and charged [music] with theft. On June 25th, 2025 in Palm Coast, Florida, Flaggler County cops were dispatched to a Target after reportedly there was a shoplifting in progress. But as the officers approached, the suspect fled on foot. Shortly after, the cops caught up with a man behind a Dollar Tree who matched the suspect's description. >> Dog at the sheriff's office. We got a report of a gentleman matching your description reference to a possible theft over here at car. >> Not me. >> Not sure. >> You have your driver's license? >> Yes, I do. >> Real quick, before you reach anything, you have any weapons on your person? >> Just my knife. >> Okay. Don't Don't grab it. Don't grab it. I'll grab that. All right. Just do me a favor. Just put your hands on top of your real quick. Okay. I'm just going to grab that. Okay. So, what's going on today? >> Uh, I'm waiting on I'm waiting on a lift. That's all. That's it. >> You're waiting on a what? Just waiting on the lift. Okay, that's it. Okay, >> it's badge. >> Yeah, ski back. >> Let me see it. >> You still work for him? >> Yes, sir. >> Oh, you still had the badge? >> I was allowed to keep it. >> Yeah. Well, improper display if you're not evac anymore, right? >> I wasn't displaying it. I was just getting my ID out. I'm sorry. >> I saw it. >> I apologize. Judging from his badge, it appeared as though the suspect used to work for an EMS. That means he must have been used to dealing with law enforcement. And it also meant that he should have known better than to run from them. >> Were you at a target today? >> Uh like hour ago. >> Hour ago. >> Yeah. Forever ago. >> 4 minutes. >> Okay. Well, if it's a situational mistake, my friend, then we'll get you out of here. But like I said, you match the description. Uh, a possible suspect walking through this literal area that we got reported on. So, we're going to do our job and stop the >> guy that went that way. >> Well, it was reported that you went this way. >> Yeah. >> Literally right where you're at. >> You just match the description. >> So, at this point in time, we're going to stop.

Um, I'm going to give you your things back >> and uh >> you're going to be all set. >> Okay. I appreciate it. >> Yeah, no problem. I'm sorry about this, but you you know, we're we're talking, >> right? No, I get it. >> We only get a description to work off of, you know, so I don't want you to feel like >> anything's kind of targeted. >> I just don't want to miss my >> Yeah. >> My lift is like literally here. >> Where are you coming from, bro? >> I'm coming from uh um Lisa. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, but like I'm not talking about like what city. Like where you coming from right now? >> Oh, no. I I was coming from the back end down there. I just walking down this way. I saw I just took the backside. That's all. >> Where you coming from before that? >> Uh before that, uh I was coming from Home Depot. >> Going from Home Depot. >> Yep. >> How'd you get from Home Depot to here? >> Uh took a lift. >> Took a lift. >> Okay. >> It sounded like the man was off the hook. like the cops here were buying what he was selling, but they weren't going to let him walk off just yet as they had a few more questions and they'd already lost him once and didn't want to lose him again. >> So, how did he end up here? >> Lift. >> Lift. >> Lives in New Samra. >> Lift from New Simra to here. >> New Simra to Home Depot then lift to here. >> Yeah. >> Why are you here though? >> I was meeting a girl here. >> What's her name? >> Name's Jessica. >> Jessica? What? >> Wheeler. >> And where are you going? >> I'm going home right now. Now, where's she at? >> She's left. She's gone. That's why I was walking the lift. That's I'm a lift driver. I have to wait or what? >> Yeah, you can't you can't take them right now. >> Okay. >> So, uh >> I came here. >> Why were you back here though? >> I was meeting my girl. >> Oh, okay. >> That's all. I was walking back, you know. Didn't >> Were you in Target at all? >> Uh earlier like an hour ago. >> Okay. Did you buy anything? >> Yes, I did. >> What did you buy? I bought that right there and some milk and stuff like that. >> Did you go back in at all after that? >> Nope. >> You never went in there and stole anything and ran? >> No, I did not. >> They have good video. >> Okay. >> It's not going to show you on video. >> Wasn't me. >> Who knows? Maybe he was telling the truth. Maybe he really wasn't the guy the cops were looking for, but the cops made good on their promises and called the loss prevention team at Target who sent them images of the suspect. >> So, they have pictures here. Is this and they positively identified you and so what's what's going on? What's going on today? They have pictures of you taking the stuff off the shelves and you're wearing the gray polo. So, it's just talking. >> We just want you to be straight up and honest with us because it, you know, >> man, I I I did I took some some bathing suits for my my daughter, my little girl as a fourth year >> and and that's what I did and I have them in my bag. >> Your bathing [snorts] suits? >> Yes, it's bathing suits. still happening.

Uh pay with my EBT card. >> Wait an EVT card. >> Yeah. >> They busted the man red-handed, but at least he didn't put up a fight after he confessed. He said that he'd fallen on hard times lately and had stolen some bathing suits for his daughter. Next, the cops had to search his belongings. >> Yeah. >> What about the big light? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. bathing suits. was pulled out the food and everything for you. Well, Quite willingly, he handed over a phone charger, confessing to them that he'd also stolen it from Target. It seemed like the man regretted deceiving the cops, [music] and he wanted to make amends by doing his best to comply and take responsibility. >> Hey, real quick. Yes, sir. >> At any point in your life, have you ever been charged and or convicted with retail theft or any type of theft or shoplifting or any sort of theft at all? >> Yes. >> When was that? >> When and where? Uh, it was um new Smyrna. >> New Smyrna. >> Yep. And it was almost a year ago. >> About a year ago.

Just wanted to verify. >> All right. So, someone do me a favor. Turn around. Is there anybody back this way? Thank you. We're just being secure for right now. Okay. >> It's not too tight, right? >> No, it's fine. >> All right. Okay. You can turn back on right now. What's the difference between, you know, a minute ago and now? Why you have to secure me now? So, >> pardon me. >> Why you have to secure me now and not like a minute ago? >> I mean, I could have done it. Yeah. I mean, I could have done it a minute ago. Could we could have done it when we showed up, but >> Yeah. Yes, sir. >> The cops were informed by Target's loss prevention team that they wanted to press charges against the man and have him trespass from the premises. As a result, there was only one place he was headed. be placed under arrest for shopping. Okay. You're also going to be trespassed from the Palm Coast Target. You're not getting charged with trespassing. It's just a warning saying you're no longer allowed to be at this Target. >> So, all right. We're going to come over to the car. I'm going to have to search you before you get into the car. But we'll do that over there. All right. Do me a favor. Spread your feet apart. You got anything in your pockets? was going to bite you. >> Nothing. All right. >> You're not still on probation, are you? >> Uh, yes. Actually, I was just getting off. >> Okay.

He admitted it was drugs, but suddenly he made a surprising offer, likely hoping for reduced charges. >> It's uh >> it's f. >> Okay. Okay. Thank you. And and uh what is what's what's in the uh tempo? >> Uh that's what I use to smoke it. >> That's what you need to smoke it with. >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right.

Hey. Watch out. Stop. How many gift cards do you have? Let's see. About a 100. Pull over. Give me your other arm. >> Stop biting, bro. It's done. It's done. Stop. All right, sit up. Just stay seated.

Anything that you're trying to hide right now, I'm just going to make it worse for you. Okay? All we need right now is your identification. So, where is it? >> Claiming not to speak English when caught in the act is the oldest trick in the book. Considering he had over a 100 gift cards when they took the man down, most likely he was part of a much bigger scam ring. your wallet. >> I got nothing else on this. >> Yeah. One information about crossing the same channel 63 for >> All right, have a seat. >> Whether he spoke English or not, the cops didn't care. However, they had plenty of questions for the man, and one way or another, they were going to get to the bottom of it. I'm going to be your translator. >> What do you speak? What What language do you speak? >> Korean >> language. >> Language. >> Chinese. >> Chinese. >> Mandarin. >> Mandarin. >> Yeah. >> Um maybe get the basics from Google Translate. >> Do you have any sort of ID on you?

Try >> I'm sorry. Can you give me the [music] Android? >> That's okay. >> Uh, yeah. >> Using a translator app was a bit of a chore, but slowly but surely they were getting somewhere. After getting the basics out of the way, the cops then turned their attention to the gift cards. >> 41 pressure and Fisher Fisher for a snapping on the roadway. >> I'll come first. >> What's up? You guys good? >> Uh, you can help us out. Um, >> Bill's calling Sergeant now >> and so looks like he went to three different stores before this. >> So gave him the heads up and of course he saw him out here. >> It was the same vehicle that was in Rain and he ran from us. didn't listen whatsoever in the park. >> All these in the park pockets uh in the like through the clothing aisles and try to get out the exit. >> He had over a 100 gift cards on him. But what the cops couldn't be sure of was whether he'd stolen them or if he had them when he came in. >> Can we bring up video right now? See if we can figure that out if he came in or >> And there's that big blue dot in the middle. This is a real one.

Yeah. Depending how many you put put out. >> So here's how the scam works. A thief takes gift cards from the store, then copies the information from the card. Sometimes before putting the cards back on the rack, the scammers put fake barcodes over the real ones. When a customer buys a card and puts money on it, the funds are sent to a card that's controlled by the scammer instead of the card the customer purchased. And >> that's the only place you have the gift cards, right? >> Okay.

Relax. >> Why? >> Because my credit >> give me your purse. >> Listen to me. The sir gave me something. >> Give me the whole purse. >> No. The sir gave me something. I can't give you my whole purse.

If she just cooperated and followed the cop's orders, she wouldn't be restrained like that. And despite the fact that she was handcuffed now and surrounded by a halfozen cops, she still continued resisting and putting up a fight. >> Sit down. >> What are you doing? >> I'm trying to stand up. >> You don't need to stand up. >> My feet.

After the officers finished their search, she was taken to the back of a nearby squad car, but she didn't go willingly. >> All right, let's go over here. >> First, I need my phone to call my lawyer. No, you're not getting a a call. >> Let's go. We're going to the car. >> I don't want to touch. >> I want to go. >> My plan. >> Let's go. >> Stand up. >> I WANT TO STAND UP, BUT I'M NOT I DON'T LIKE HOW HE'S GRABBING ME. >> All right. I'm not doing You just punched me, bro. >> I didn't punch. >> Yes, you did just punch me. >> YOU DID JUST PUNCH ME IN MY FEET. >> Put your feet in the car. >> You just punch me. It wasn't the cop's fault she was stealing and they were just doing their jobs. She had a lack of accountability which was only further proof that she deserved to go to jail. Next up, one of the security guards at the mall officially trespassed her. >> I'm security officer. >> Are you serious? >> You're banned from returning to Glenn Mall. Definitely return to probably be considered trespassing. The police will be called you subject to arrest. Just to be clear, your ban and return will be considered trespassing. You'll be subject to arrest. You understand that? >> Yes, sir. >> Thank you. >> From the back of the cruiser, one of the cops tried to tell her what to expect moving forward. However, all she was concerned about was arguing with the cop, saying he'd been overly aggressive with her while loading her into the car. >> Hey, ma'am, just to let you know that this vehicle was cleared before you um obviously came in here. So, >> it's my glasses. >> Absolutely. You punched me in my face. >> I did not punch you in the face. >> Punch me in my face. >> Um, we have body warn cameras. I did not do that. >> Clearly, you punched me in my face. >> No, I used my forearm to do like this. >> Yeah. And you y'all aggressively y'all look like I have anger in your We were We were telling you to come over here and you kept resisting and pushing us. >> Okay. Whatever you want to Whatever you want to believe. Um, we're not we're not going to argue. >> I'm not talking to you. >> We're not going to argue. You l Thank god it wasn't you. >> We're not going to argue. Um if you truly feel that we we did something. We we have a supervisor here on scene if you want to we would love to talk to you. >> Um but I just want to let you know that there was nothing in this vehicle. If we do find any contraband >> contraband >> like if we find any contraband in here. >> I don't have anything sir. >> Again I just want to I just I'm just advising you um that you would be additionally charged for whatever contraband you have. >> I don't have anything. >> Okay. No worries. They charged the woman with grand theft and resisting arrest without violence. On the 6th of December, 2025 in Palm Beach County, the cops were dispatched to a Walmart after reportedly there was a heated dispute between a customer and staff. When the cops arrived on scene, they met up with the loss prevention staff who said a customer was claiming he'd been robbed in the parking lot. >> All right. So, what's going on, man? wanted. >> What was that? >> I got robbed. >> You want to do a police report? >> Yeah, I got two days later. >> Okay. Listen, you understand that if you make a false police report, you're going to jail. >> I'm just letting you know. >> You ain't got to let me know. I know. >> What was that? >> The consequences of lying to the police. >> Okay. I just want to make that clear, >> bro. I ain't a little >> Huh? >> I said I'm a grown man. I understand the law. >> Okay. So, if we review footage, what are we going to see? >> Going to see somebody stealing from you, bro. >> Okay. in the parking lot of Walmart right there. >> All right. So, give me a rundown of what happened. >> Walk to my car like this. I get to my car. I got a Durango. I parked the trunk. I'm assuming y'all got police activity out there in the back. So, everybody's distracted kind of looking that way. I'm assuming when I'm looking this way, they're pulling the groceries either from here or my truck right there. >> You saw it? >> No, I didn't see it. That's why I'm back in here with no groceries. I'm I'm I'm ask I'm doing >> that makes no sense. So, you never saw anybody go in the back of your car and you basically remember loading up groceries. >> You got footage. Just go look at it. Think I'm just going to look at it. We don't got to play the whole my >> I'm not That's not That's not what I'm saying. It just seems very >> When you come up here, you say, "Do I know these?" They're saying that >> they feel like you already don't think I'm saying. >> If you want to let me speak, I'll explain it to you. They're saying that they review footage and that's not what they see. >> What did they say? >> I didn't get to review the footage myself. >> What did they say? I >> I don't know. I have to go see it myself. >> Okay. If you're saying one thing, they're saying another thing. >> He was getting really worked up for no reason. The cop was asking some completely valid questions, trying to find out just what had gone on. All the man was doing was making the cop more suspicious that he wasn't telling the truth. >> If you're saying one thing, they're saying the complete opposite. Someone's lying. Either you or them. Okay. >> Is that not true? >> When you see me get by my car, you're going to see a fat black woman, some fat dudes in a blue car next to my wife, and you going to see them out there. And then I promise you you going to see mother grab a grocery. >> Okay. So what did they do? So you loaded up with groceries. All of them. >> All the groceries. >> Like you said you put groceries in the car? >> Yeah. Like like a basket like this. >> Okay. So you put everything in the car? >> Yeah. >> Okay. And then where were you after that? >> I pushed. You know how like you'll push the cart somewhere to get it out? >> So you went to go put the to push the car out of the way. >> They took it out my car >> and by the time you came back everything was gone. The man said that until he got back to his house, he didn't realize that the groceries were stolen. Seeing that he'd been robbed of all his groceries, he went back to Walmart, showed them his receipt, and insisted he get a refund for the stolen merchandise. >> So, you basically got the receipt and you went and got everything back. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. You can't do that. >> I told them. I didn't just do that. I'm telling them. I'm not It's not I understand, but it's not that's not on them, right? >> Yes, it is. This is a big parking lot. Yes. >> It doesn't matter. They're not They're not responsible. >> They're not responsible for it. >> Yes, it is. >> Okay, you can say what you want. I'm telling you what they're telling me. They don't want you leaving with the groceries. >> It was beginning to sound like this guy was trying to pull off a scam. It was like he initially went home and unloaded the groceries he bought, then came back with the receipt and loaded the very same items into his cart. At that point, an employee came over to shed some light on things. >> I just got robbed, bro. And you're talking to me like like like you don't care about that. >> Okay. Do you understand that? >> I just got robbed, sir. Are we done? I'm trying to explain to you it's a private business. >> I just got robbed and you're telling me about what I can. >> If you walk out with those groceries, you are going. >> Are you going to check the camera so I can so we can get after the people who robbed me? >> Is that a focus at all? Here. >> This is what we see. This is what we saw. >> Do you want to listen or No, >> I'm listening. >> Okay. >> All right. So, we saw him get to his car as he's putting his groceries in the trunk. We can see that three people go to the vehicle next to him. Uh it looks like they stopped between because it look like they're talking to him. It's hard to really tell from the distance of the >> distracted me and the other two with the door. >> And this dude >> like so he ends up taking the groceries out of his trunk, putting them back in the cart. >> Who's doing that? >> He's moving the groceries out of his trunk into the shopping cart. me >> and pulling the shopping cart across to the next car with the groceries in it. >> Me? >> Yes. >> I took groceries out of my trunk, put it back in the cart, and push the cart away is what you're saying right now. >> Show him that camera, man. Show him that. >> Even after knowing there was surveillance footage, he was still bold enough to challenge security to show the officer the footage. And since that's what he wanted, that's what he got. So, >> this is him putting the groceries in his truck, right? I don't know what these people are saying to him cuz he looked he looked like he's facing at this point cuz I see the polo on the back too. >> Yeah. Now he's taking them out, >> right? >> Right. >> See more. You see him? He's taking the groceries out of his truck and putting them back into the shopping cart. Three69 is >> literally pull. You see the stuff is still in there. >> Y >> some of the stuff is still in there. He parked it right here with groceries still inside of it. >> I'll speed it up. He walked straight back to his car, closes the trunk, gets in his trunk. On the surveillance footage, you could see the man taking the groceries out of his trunk, putting them back in his cart, and driving off. However, Walmart did owe him a refund as there was no fault on their end. >> So, listen, >> nobody told me I'm trying to get somewhere with this. So, say you go to your homeboy's house, right? >> Right. >> Private >> private private property. >> You parked your car there, >> correct? >> Somebody comes embracing your car. Who's liable? Your friend? >> No. No, I don't think >> so. Why is it different for Walmart? It's a private business. It's the same thing. >> It's their parking lot though. >> Even Even when I But listen listen to my defense. I don't want to give go back and forth with nobody. I'm not that type of dude. You seen when I even when I asked Google, they're mutual. They don't know you or me. Even Google say they liable, bro. Like I'm just saying from everything I've ever learned from a little kid coming up where the where the incident happens matters, bro. If a person go out there and slip or get hit, it's not criminal. Oh, >> it's civil. That's why I say >> See, that's why I don't want to go back and forth. I'm not even no lawyer. >> No, no, listen. I'm just saying I'm not a lawyer either. >> I told I told Tell them what I told you. I'm not even married with all bro. >> What looks like happened was that the man got home, then realized he left his groceries in the Walmart parking lot. By the time he got back, somebody had taken them. But that's not what happened at all. The cop had been playing the suspect the entire time, and it caught him in a trap. >> I can't believe I got, bro. That's legit. >> All right, so look. Listen. I review footage, right? >> And what they're saying is correct. You walk, you walk over there, >> you load up some of the groceries inside the trunk, and then you take them out, you take the shopping cart, you move it across the street, you leave the shopping cart with the items in the shopping cart, you get in your truck, you drive away, and then that car that parked next to you come and takes the groceries. So, for that reason, which I explained to you beforehand, if you provide a false statement, I'm going to take you to jail. >> Just came out. I'm taking you to jail. >> You just came out and said I was telling the truth. >> You just came out earlier. I was telling the truth, bro. >> We're not going to play this game. >> Say truth to what I said. >> Yeah, you did put the groceries in the car and said this truth. >> Stop tensing. Stop tensing. >> Bro, I just asked y'all to tell me what they want to do, bro. >> Why are you doing this, man? What's wrong with you, J? What's wrong with you, man? You a psycho, bro. >> Let's go. >> What the? Bro, >> go ahead. Sit in the back of the car. >> How do you sleep at night, bro? You You throwing an innocent man in jail. I got robbed. >> Put your feet in. >> I got robbed. And you're throwing me in jail. >> You're going to catch another charge. >> Oh my god. What is wrong with you? >> They charged the man with making a false police report. They set the man's bond at $1,000. But if you thought he almost got away with it, the next suspect came even closer. On the 18th of January 2024, airport police were dispatched to Sunglass Hut after reports of a theft. When the officers got there, they began searching the airport and they quickly located a man that matched the suspect's description. >> Hey, sir. Sir 3. David two. I'm not with him. David 10. How you doing, sir? Come on. Hey, so >> I just got a call cuz were you at the >> the sunglass store? Were you at the sunglass store? Sung this? >> Yeah. >> Oh, did you take anything from the store? >> No. >> No. >> Is that your Is that yours? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. No. We walked in with these. >> You want to go back to the guy? >> Do [music] you have a different pair? >> No. >> Is it okay? We can search you back. >> Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah. >> Okay. >> For a moment, it looked like the man was going to pull the I don't speak English tactic, but as things turned out, he was actually just Irish. He handed his bag to the officers and let them search it. And while he said that he didn't have any other sunglasses on him, as things turned out, that wasn't the case. >> I showed him I had no glasses. You want to go back to the guy? >> No, no, you go ahead. >> Yeah. No, no, no. He knows. I have these. They're my own. >> They don't sell these glasses. And I had this. I told my shape I like. >> Mhm. >> What? What about in here? Do you mind if we go through there? >> Go ahead. Or >> Okay. What happened over there? Did you just look to find >> this? From Ireland. >> Where? Where do you live in Ireland? >> I just came from Ireland. Yeah. >> Where do you live? In Ireland. >> Ireland. Yeah. >> Yeah. Where you flying out to now? Uh, Mexico. >> Mexico. Okay. >> Yeah. >> What happened? >> What do you mean? What happened? >> What happened in there? >> Did you Were you trying on sunglasses? >> Yeah, I was trying on glasses. You want Let's go back to the guy. >> Okay. Wait, wait, wait a second. Wait a sec. One sec. >> The suspect seemed unusually nervous and anxious. If he truly hadn't stolen anything like he claimed, then he had very little reason to worry. Once the cops confirmed that he didn't have any stolen merchandise, he'd be free to go on his way. That in here? There's any other glasses? What's the What's these glasses in here? >> They're my own as well. I showed them what I had. >> Okay. >> I walked in with these on. >> They don't sell. >> Listen, we got to call. We got to do our due diligence. Understand? >> Do you want to go back to >> Wait one second. Why do you want to go back so bad? >> Cuz I have to go catch my flight, bro. >> Okay. What time's your flight? >> Uh, in an hour it leaves. >> You have ID on you? >> Yeah, I have my passport. Yeah. Look, I'm going to give you one opportunity. One opportunity only. Okay. Cuz I have video footage of everything straight up. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> I didn't take that. >> What? Why did you bite the uh the glasses for on the video? >> These are my glasses. >> Listen, he's asking you a question. Why did you take the the sensor off the glasses? >> I didn't take a sensor off glasses, bro. >> Tell you, I have a video of everything. Okay, >> let's go check it, brother. You'll see that I have my own glasses. While he initially said that he only had one pair of glasses, the cops ended up finding more. By that point, the man's nerves were getting to him and it was very obvious. That being said, the more the cops pressed him, the more things got worse. >> They want the glasses back. >> Look. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Take the sensor off. Okay. >> You see? And then the glass just go missing. It's crazy. >> Because you don't have it doesn't mean >> Oh, the glasses are in the shop, bro. The thing was hanging off the side. I couldn't put them on my ears. >> You just don't go like this. Okay. Don't Don't Now Now you're Now you're >> You're thinking I'm stupid. Okay. And I'm getting stupid, brother. >> Okay. >> You can check me. You can >> just because you don't have it doesn't mean you didn't take them. >> I'm I'm traveling alone. What do you think I've done? >> Let's go. >> Let's go back to the show. >> I just want the glasses. >> You're ask me something that I can't give you. Let's go to the shop and down to check the shop. >> Let's go to the shop. >> So, am I making >> No, I couldn't try the glasses on because the thing was hanging off. >> So, what did you do with them after you took them off? >> I put them back on the shelf in front of the guy. >> Okay. >> Despite being caught on video, the man somehow thought that he could prove he was innocent just by the fact that the things he was seen stealing were not in his possession. But it's not completely impossible that the manager stashed them. While he continued denying any wrongdoing, they headed back to the sunglass hut to talk to the manager. >> Did we find them glasses or they >> No, I haven't found any. >> So, where did you say you put them back? >> You were standing right beside me, bro. >> Show me. Show me where you put them back. Show me where you put >> I don't know. We looked at many different pairs of glasses, >> bro. I showed you I had two points. Listen, you're talking to me. Show me where you put the glasses back. >> Man was standing right show me where you put the glasses back. >> I don't know where. >> Where were we standing? Many many pairs of glasses if you look at >> I saw >> you were standing right beside me the whole time. >> But I also footage I see that you take off a tag >> of a pair of sunglasses. >> There's a pair of glasses here and the tag was hanging off and I couldn't put them on and I put the glasses down. I put the tag down. I showed you where's the tag? >> I showed you the glasses. I showed you the glasses. You stood beside me and you picked the tag up. Am I right? >> Mhm. >> Yeah. So, what the lay >> like tearing something with his mouth. >> Okay, leave it right here. Wait right here. >> It was proving to be a more difficult case than the officers thought. Without the stolen sunglasses, the suspect here could just continue denying it. If the cops were going to make an arrest, they'd need a little more evidence. >> Want to take a look at these real quick? Yeah, these are bottles. Confirm. I see the rest of those weird like 100%. >> These are Oh my gosh, dude. I'm on holiday, boys. >> Where's the other two? >> They're in that jacket. >> Can I not get these? >> You get them. >> Just give us a second. >> Let's go right behind. >> Where's the other two glasses at? >> They're in the jacket. >> Okay. So, you said you only got two, right? And now we got a third one. >> I never said I only had two. I said I had two. >> Go back to my camera and say, >> "Oh, bro, come on." No, you just you literally just told me I got two pairs of my glasses. >> I got my He checked the jacket. >> So, >> I'm not 100% sure they are. >> Do a quick inventory. See if you can find what skew it is. See if we have another one in stock. >> According to my inventory, I went ahead and checked the number inside on the on the sunglasses. I have two matching numbers, 1447 red, 1447s. I only have one of these. It's a reality display. I have 1476s. I'm so supposed to have two, but I'm only seeing one. That means it should be one in display, one in back stop. And this should be the back stop one. >> Okay, there we go. >> And then this is the one I have in back stop. >> You're missing the display one. >> And I'm missing the display one. As far as the suspect went, [music] things were not looking good. He might have taken the tags off, but the serial numbers were still embedded on them, and the sunglasses they found on him matched up with the pair that was stolen from the rack. >> All right, that's >> good. Do me a favor. Put your hands behind your back for me. >> Oh, no. >> The glasses are there. I didn't take the glasses. >> It's on video. Good. I didn't pay I have a flight to cash. My father's terminal will cancel. So, I need to go home. >> Listen, the camera doesn't lie. >> So, there's 80 glasses. Keep them. >> The camera doesn't lie. You're in the possession. It is what it is. We We gave you the opportunity. >> Lads, come on. I need to go get a flight. My father is terrible with cancer. I need to go home. >> You put yourself in that situation. >> 80 glasses. You can keep them. >> L. Come on. How the you fix this? >> So, what's going to happen? So right now you're going to be booked into our holding facility here and go before magistrate probably said >> please help me figure this out. You tal I get that >> I need to go home. >> If you got no other story than it's their job to find it and we got you on camera. >> The glasses are there. Take them glasses. >> No, we're beyond that. >> Ultimately he got a theft charge and as a result he missed his flight back to Ireland. He was released the next day with a notice to appear in court. >> [music] >> On the 28th of November, 2025, the cops were dispatched to Best Buy after reports of a shoplifting. When the officers got there, they caught up with the suspect in the parking lot. >> How you doing, man? >> All right, let's go talk inside real quick. >> Just real quick. >> Sure. >> You guys got to check her first. >> Yeah, go ahead. >> Just looking for weapons. Weapons or anything? >> No, no. All right. >> I don't even remember. >> Huh? >> I was just trying to do something so I can try to make some money and pay for my dog. I swear it was so stupid. But I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't have that kind of money. >> They had busted the woman red-handed. It was sad to hear that she was down on her luck, but it was no excuse to steal. And to make matters worse, what she had in her purse wasn't all that she had stolen. >> Are there any weapons on your person? >> No. No. No. >> What's on your person that we should be worried about? >> Nothing. Just this. >> Take it up. Okay. 1934 injuries. >> I have no idea. >> They're $99 >> a piece. Yeah. >> I don't even know what that is. >> They did a more thorough search of her purse. And luckily for her, they didn't find anything else. While the cops went on with their questions, the loss prevention staff began toting up what she had stolen. >> So, when we asked you about, "Did you drive here?" And that's the way to start being honest. We can start actually talking about some stuff. >> Just take me to jail. That's what you're going to do. So, just take me, please, because I feel like I'm really going to be sick. >> Okay. Ultimately, we are going to end up going to jail. >> I know. >> Um, and I'm going to be honest, we do know that you drove your car here. Your car is in the parking lot. >> And we do know you were in the store earlier. >> It's not going to change the fact whether you go to jail or not, but I do know you were in the store earlier doing the [music] same thing before you were stopped. It sounded like the cops had plenty of evidence and she had done multiple rounds through the store, stealing merchandise, then storing it in her vehicle, and then going back for another round. Depending on the total amount she'd stolen, she might be looking at a charge of grand theft. >> And I understand that you're going through a lot with your with your dog, and most of us can relate cuz I prefer animals over people, trust me. All right. [music] >> But what I'm not trying to do is hurt you even more financially because we believe that there's more items inside the car >> that belong to the store. >> Okay. I have to I can't really take your word for that because you lied to [music] me earlier saying that your car is not here. So, do you see where I'm kind of getting with that? So, I don't want to get you a tow bill. I [music] don't want to get you uh I don't really want to go the avenue of seizing your car because there's not really much I'm going to do with it. is, but we have to verify whether or not there's stuff inside [music] your car because you had stuff on your purse and inside your purse and you're going to your car for the second time. Hard times call for desperate measures. [music] I'm just trying to help you those hard times not be as hard right now and you can only help yourself in this situation. [music] I can't force you to do anything. >> I know. >> So, >> the cops here wanted one of two things. She could either confess to them that there were more items in her car or she could at least give them permission [music] to search it. After all, if they arrest her, they were going to search the car anyway. >> It's [snorts] the same thing. >> The same stuff. The same amount. >> Yeah. >> Where inside the car is it? >> When you open the back door. >> Mhm. >> It's there. >> Do I have your permission to go retrieve it so it's [music] no longer seen inside your car? Will you leave my car here and let my husband pick it up? >> I will talk to the management here. I will be not touching it. [music] It's going to be on the management at that point, but I will not be moving or towing your car. >> Can I Can I call my husband and tell? >> We will definitely make sure we your husband is aware of what's happening and where your car is. >> Having a sense she had no way out, she made the best decision that she'd made all day and decided to confess. While the cops went on with her questions, some other cops came out to the parking lot to search her car. Oh god. >> Is this from here? >> I have no idea. >> I think we need to take it on the list. >> She definitely has a lot of bags. As if this is what she does. >> Oh yeah. I don't know if the other stuff's involved. >> That stuff I can't verify. It doesn't look right. It looks like stuff. >> You guys can look over the list. There's lists from like your store and there's like other there's other stuff that we can't confirm is stolen, but we think it's stolen. >> This was in her car. Oh, >> the car was full of electronics and they definitely weren't cheap. Furthermore, the cops found out that her merchandise came from multiple locations around the city. Apparently, this sweet old lady was a serial shoplifter. >> So, Melbourne, Seinal, Aokei, Amal Springs or Orlando, Jensen Beach. >> Let me see this. >> This is a list of things she's checking off what she's pretty much got. >> Thank you for not answering me. Thank you. so much. >> All right, let's go. >> I'm not going to run. I promise you. >> If you run, I'll just tase you. >> I'm not going to run. >> I'll be honest with you. If you're trying to, I'll just tase you. [laughter] >> All right. >> I'm so sorry. It was so stupid. But sometimes you do the wrong things for the right reasons. >> Hopefully, we won't see you out here again. >> [music] >> Whatever treatment her dog needed must have been hella expensive. They charged the woman with grand theft over $2,000. Well, folks, as far as this episode, that's a wrap. These shoplifterss might have thought that they could outsmart the cops, but after the facts came out and their cover story stopped adding up, their next stop was the jail house.
