we can pay for whatever it is I wasn't trying to steal it I just I was on the phone and I didn't even realize that I was doing it I'm not lying you li you li you lied you're going to jail I didn't lie to you I know you're listening to me I can see your eyes mov when I talk to you one a scared scar there four kids on SC right now cops are often called to shoplifting incidents where surveillance cameras and eyewitnesses leave the suspects with little to no chance of Defending their innocence however there are some who still fake it till they make it now let's watch a few interesting cases when shoplifters play dumb and act innocent young people are often Reckless but sometimes their carelessness can ve into criminal activity getting them in trouble over something trivial on October 6th 2023 Florida officers were called to a liquor store frequented by a 19-year-old shoplifter upon arrival they find her sitting in her vehicle I'm deputy sheriff johns with the mark County Sheriff Office okay uh where are you coming from um total total L yeah okay um here let's can you cut off the car from me okay uh can you step out do you have your license with you no sir okay can you step out for me go ahead Lan up guest's car I'm just going to put you in handcut just to detain you you don't have anything on you no am I able to call my girl for you uh not right now don't hold off on calling anybody can you take your phone out of your pocket yeah okay like I said you're just being detained you're not under arrest um you don't have anything else on you no okay go ahead turn around all right okay the teen suspect later identified as NAA seems to be confused she seems nervous from the start but the reason remains unknown we res a thefts at to wine all right the details might not be straight now but I'm trying to be as transparent as possible when're not here there for see uh depending on what Total Line says I mean did you make any purchases or no can I search the car where do you have hats I'm just asking you if you get me first to oh you don't want me search it okay uh where were you you were coming from totalan you set yeah I just came from Stewart my house okay all right so when you say that you went to Total L and then you're on your way yeah I didn't get out of the car though oh and the far l i the line I did not go in the store today no so there shouldn't be video footage of you in the store going obviously the cops have nothing to go on yet but Naja has staunchly denied visiting the store that day but note how nervous she seems is this a giveaway that she's guilty the cops ask her about the contents of her vehicle while waiting to see the Shop's footage we got a call about somebody possibly stealing uh some merchandise from total total L your vehicle match to this today um they didn't take me anything today but they have video from another day uh your vehicle match the description so that's why I pulled you over so just hang tight there's no bottles of tequila or anything up in there no I appreciate you being up front people we're trying to straight some so just SC out never been a rest no I I believe yeah so they have video I I wasn't able to get it but he said he does have video of the suspect from a yeah if you can to see if the video matches while one officer keeps an eye on NAA another goes into the store to check out the footage the employee at the counter has some interesting things to say about the suspect and her history with the store try to suure out the female today do you know about that this sh the black in know do you have video her T yes is that her C that yeah I'm working on resue stre okay this is not from today's interaction yet this is the interaction I had with her on Wednesday so she was in here today yes sir she was just in here attempting to steal had something in her possession and I guess my team was too aggressive here you're going to see her stealing um then we move to this camera you'll see her go ahead I the video speed yeah and I can show you today's interuption I'm just trying to confirm that's who we got stop yes sir I have a license and some other stuff so I C all you're going to see she had already taken a few items off the shelf here you're going to see concealment see a bottle start going into her bag you have open King in the B for her I so we had an interaction on Wednesday you never want to I mean this is basically death they want press father now na is in trouble the video evidence means she'll have a tough time proving her innocence in court but what about her previous visits now it's time to find out just how deep this Rabbit Hole goes I know you have your policy and stuff in the State of Florida anybody who attempts to to uh deprive you of your property so it go through the store and they put it in the crse they walk around the store they have it hidden that's SP okay they do not have to leave the store they don't have to pass All Points of sale that's still a that because it's depriving of your property at that moment they're out they're trying to hide it right concealer yeah so that's the fact so at this point we have our video putting those T bottles in her bag right yeah I don't know what those bags are no for bother with it the there was another incident prior today yes yes sir what what day was that uh Tuesday is it reported yes sir I have a case number here okay how much was that about $300 any other incident such you 5 one1 that was it reported no sir no what this that one sir was on the 22nd of September but you repord we didn't cuz we didn't catch conceal she interacted with somebody somebody with this you have conceal yes that's I have thing the one on Tuesday what did you help a different vehicle I will say that she that day was on a black can with it 100% Rob 100% in all honesty Na's case is looking worse by the minutes there's video evidence multiple reports and a store that's ready to press charges she's got a lot to worry about suddenly understanding the trouble she's in NAA decides to say something to an officer like I said you're not under ARR you're just being detained we're just in fact finding mode right now so what's going on oh okay when was that oh okay what what did you take our okay just one okay but sir I've never been a r first off let's get your name before we move for what's your name j liquor bottle you stole um no sir you don't when when was that when was that you stole it oh week was it this week remember okay while it's nice to see NAA confessing her crimes it might be a little too late for regret desperate to avoid arrest she makes an offer that might let her walk away without further incident hey I hey then can you please ask him to have people well we'll figure out what we're going to what they they're going to do and then I'll let you know okay um obviously total W gets hits with a lot of thefts so we'll if we'll see what they want to do if they want to press charges they're going to press charges so if they don't press charges I still get arrested if they don't press charges we don't get arrested but that's up to them but no one to a wi they they do I'm not I'm not going to sway them either way you know what I mean cuz they do get a lot of thefts there but I'll let you know what goes on after observing the video evidence and hearing her confession the officers search her car and they find some interesting things inside things a 19-year-old definitely shouldn't possess there bottles in there yeah okay never mind we Auto uh Del onon Blan and a small orange uh ribbon with Patron what size is this 40 or oh size size oh and then it looks like uh Reposado Patron tequila I don't see we Sor that uh the the patron is 200 M oh 750 m and the da on is 750 m oh hey there's another one oh she has two oh bet I'm going to take a picture of jogging with behind having found so many bottles the officers have all they need to take NAA to jail but was the alcohol worth the the risk NAA knows how much the bottles cost and readily shares the info great be able to call my road uh when you get to the jail um I'll let you get a phone number out of your no I already know her name okay so you can call her when you get to jail her vehicle is being told um so you didn't give us permission to search the vehicle but since we have to search the vehicle to tow it and we found the alol so uh you're going to be going to jail for that today and then uh you can uh call your girlfriend when you get to the jail okay oh do you know how bed it's going to take uh no that's something you got to ask to jail um depend on how much those balls cost I don't know how much it is misdemeanor or felony but uh we'll figure it out I'll let you know they cost like 80 this Al together huh they only cost like $60 all to give okay all right well it sounds like it might it'll be a miser but I'll let you know when we get the final okay I appreciate you uh cooperating with me all right thank you risking jail time and a criminal record over 60 to 80 Na's careless Behavior has no excuse but this might not be the first time she's done something like this and we don't mean the previous liquor thefts do you think I'm going to be able to Def it out yeah no I already have a charge a death charge you have a theft charge already for when for the like February February oh I got to check the statute but I know like if you have like if you have if you've stolen from like more than one place in like 30 days oh no I haven't no then and they could bump it up to a felony no I haven't but uh you should be able to get should be able to get phone it's Petty dep so you should have a bond I don't I had to check what the bond is but should have B sorry I just really never been so you you got arrested in February no I didn't get arrested okay they didn't arrest me it was at long okay wait a stop selling I'm I'm a I'm okay inste I was out so I was to CL footall yeah I have no excuse for this but you have money in your pocket how I'm 19 why why are you doing thatand is she correct ra Miranda okay you told him you want yeah and I told him my my question what why why are you doing this I it's a l Cloud I do you drink not really nasha's actions make no sense to put it bluntly her shopliftings become a bad habit of hers her girlfriend arrives on the scene shortly after maybe she has an answer a rational explanation about why NAA stole the alcohol he's been very Cooperative yes C cool what this sh what what what what's going out there what do she doesn't I you can talk to her I can't I did she she doesn't know why I can't get it open up whatever she tells you do she have a drinking r i don't oh she if anything she's probably really ready for winter or something um like I said she does open up is she for like the thrill or I wouldn't say it the real being the book said want to talk to you real quick she she's homeless she's lost she open up she has been places she Naja was charged with petty theft first degree and possession of alcohol by a minor hopefully she's learned from the experience and sought out professional help instead of getting in trouble again over petty theft of alcohol [Music] unlike NAA not all shoplifters will calmly accept their fate and confess when confronted with their crimes in this next case officers in Indian River County Florida were called to a Best Buy just as a shoplifting couple attempted a daring Escape thankfully they were stopped by nearby deputies turn the vehicle off vehicle this that direction put your hands back behind your back what sir I'll explain all that in a minute P right now for guys it's the suspects don't seem to be concerned about the situation but time will tell if their dispositions change with both suspects now secured the cops can investigate what exactly happened what exactly do we have um I what she have watch she we had a cart we have the cart there still yeah and I came out here with the cart with the cart and then I said hey can I see re see can I see see your seat kept going kept going and then I was like can I see your receipt and then that's when she ditched it right here and then ran to her car oh like uh gray sweatpants with a maybe a little stripe and a purple shirt medium belt Brown air we go by can you have them 10 12 come this way for a show up that's affirmative and uh you want to find out about the mail party yeah just uh see if anything's willing or wrong place wrong time the N that last just seeing it looked like it was uh in concert do you guys believe that the first trough was working with her yeah based on what uh well that was the getaway they they backed up the reverse all time they almost got like more people okay we have the video of them reversing not only were the suspects shoplifting but they also arranged a getaway just like the ones you'd see in the movies now it's time for the police to question them where are we coming from oh uh we live in PM Bay okay yeah where are we coming from cuz you're not coming from pom B oh well the avenu we're visiting over here the Avenues The Avenues yeah gas something I heard about shopping over here um to visit the Avenues and I was turn for a job the Avenues are in beer is it the the Avenues of the hair no so what's going on not much where are you guys coming from uh Melbourne you were westbound on 60 where did you where did your vehicle start from b i about champ M man I we were we came from 95 okay right and you're heading back towards 95 yes okay right U well actually know we were going to go the eat where were you headed to e um is there like a Wendy's or something over there I I'm not from this area I get that sorry okay yeah you pass the Wendy's back our way back there okay okay well you're heading back that way so where did you come from east of here uh we had stopped and grabbed something and E over we're going to grab something to eat but we only have $5 left and I was like where are we going to grab something to eat at popey or r or did you guys get out of the car no no you guys come from Best Buy uh well we were at Best Buy you were at Best Buy yeah okay both of you well we weren't at Best Buy but we were at W's we about to eat then we didn't need so we said we'll spill it to one over here at 95 did you guys go to Best Buy no they've hardly even started talking and already there are inconsistencies in their story in the meantime an officer confirmed via video footage that the pair had indeed shoplifted and almost crashed into another car in the parking lot so what do they have to say about that oh you wouldn't know what I was talking about when I said a vehicle matching that description with people matching your description and matching his description were just a Best Buy um took a bunch of stuff dropped it as soon as they got out and then hauled ass from the parking lot in Reverse you wouldn't know anything about that she's n navigating I'm driving okay you didn't you didn't navigate through the parking lot backwards no no cuz I mean they got good cameras no no no okay cuz I mean I'd much rather you be up front honest with me now than me find out that you know you're you're lying to me and then then there's no no that's no way no way man okay okay so when these people from Best Buy come up here they're not going to be able to identify either one of you no the cameras aren't going to be able to show that that's that vehicle yeah because I mean I'm a little bit more inclined to work with you now than if I have to jump through hoop after hoop after hoop but if I got to do all that then it's like you know okay at at no point in time did you stop at Best Buy you didn't get out she didn't exit the store with with stuff you didn't no haul backwards in Reverse three Best Buy parking no no I have enough I have no uh important stuff in there that's the best Best Buy or the suspects aren't changing their St even after being confronted with the fact that they were caught on camera the male suspect's so confident that he allows an officer to inspect his car and the officer does find something though not something he particularly wanted to any objections with me taking a look in there if I if I want no no no no I can look around yeah okay sweet so the stru that's that's what it sounds like how oh God what is that oh God thought I was H with that one dude oh I oh not what I wanted to get my hands on while they do have video footage the cops still haven't found the stolen merchandise so they bring out an employee to see if he can identify the shoplifting culprit you're saying that 100% that's her okay he says 100% the female that's her that's the truck and that's the truck but they cannot identify the male party that was driving the truck am I going to jail okay yes how what it cuz you're positively identified as a shop lter at Best Buy I know right crazy you have a seat purple purple sweater yep I got it right here it was in her bag well obviously she's going to jail Unfortunately they got you as well okay what song they they got you driving the be well and you called me about shoplifting and then the way you left the parking lots all on video okay so the way that you left the parklot is enough for me to articulate that you knew what she was doing therefore it's shoplift and concert so you can both get a fell CH no I was not even there I didn't even back up and drive nothing none of that stuff El was driving your vehicle who else has been in possession of your vehicle today I was driving okay all day you've been driving okay all day with a positive identification and the clothing found the cops are ready to book the suspects but the female suspect asked for a chance to speak with an officer about something interet you wanted to talk yeah okay so what what happened I was first of all I just found out that somebody died that was really close and I was on the on the phone with my parents talking to him and I was just on the phone I went to go walk out the store and they like literally came and like ran up on me didn't even think about it I'm just walking and as soon as they're like where is should re SE and went to go grab everything and it creeps me to like the hell out like really freaked me out so I just like I ran I didn't know what else to do but we can pay for whatever it is I wasn't trying to steal it I just I was on the phone and I didn't even realize that I was doing it that be freaking name for it why did he he didn't know because I I cuz I when I got in the TRU I said Bally thought I was stealing something just go go is I know where you get in trouble now that was a pretty weak explanation and quite dramatic at that seeing where all this is heading of course the female suspect goes for the usual tactic that shoplifters use when they get caught we been pay for this stuff I wasn't they just freaked him out when they ran up on me I thought he just trying to protect his wife okay well unfortunately Best Buy is not going to want you to just pay for it ask well I I I mean I barely even walked out the door and then they were like man stop stop stop and I was like whoa whoa whoa what's going on and then just like free out so I just I just walked away I didn't know what else to do that'll be that will be something for you and your defense attorneys to to do you find out if if he called him an optim if we paid for it even though this tactic never works it's still pretty typical for shoplifters to ask if they can pay for what they stole hoping to avoid legal repercussions why there's no way that would bring t every like you look at see they stood this else to do like that and I just I justone there you know arrest me I swear to God we could pin and stuff I she was doing and I there was nothing of us do I'm sorry with I'm sorry I mean I didn't mean it like that you know you know how I meant we don't know about me yeah sounds like it's yours Fon K yeah the that we didn't do anything swear you look at the video of what happened with me it didn't look like I was trying a sh left or 8 and that's Justice swiftly served while we lack any additional info we know that they were charged with felonies this pair tried a Hollywood robbery in a Best Buy and they were given a reality check by the local sheriff's department when they're caught shoplifters often drop excuses by the Dozen trying to weasel out of the situation they'd found themselves in this next suspect has only one excuse but she never steps away from it in May 2024 officers in Flagler County Florida caught a female shoplifter who'd stolen an item from Target then proceeded to hide it in the bathroom when confronted I then you going into the bathroom I had to go poop I had to take a literally I mean as you can see I didn't the fact of you concealing it in your bag is a crime in itself so you're going to go to jail since you be liar I'm not great I'm not lying care not you li I mean I you lied you lied you're going to jail I didn't lie to you okay why do we put it in the trash why don't you just come out and be straight up about it I mean I I didn't put it in the trash like how add up there then I don't know I didn't put it in that trash I wasn't even I I didn't put I went to go poop in the bathroom literally I went to put in the bathroom quite a nasty coincidence that she had to go to the bathroom right as she was carrying an item that she hadn't paid for the officers had to search for the item when they caught the female suspect and now she has to explain why she'd hidden it so you would have poop in the bathroom you had all intentions to pay for this you put in the trash can where was it at it was in the uh toilet like the tampon trash can oh really so you had intentions to pay for this but you're going to go into the bathroom after you conceal it and then you're going to throw it in a tampon trash can I didn't because you had to poop no I had to go poop I didn't go into the bathroom to steal anything the mere fact of you doing what you did is you stealing it I didn't well I I don't understand like I didn't leave the store with anything my question is how did it end up in the trash can though why didn't you come out you know I was in there I didn't know I didn't know what had happened I didn't know why I didn't know who you were who was saying is April you had some idea clearly if it was in the trash can but I didn't put it in the trash can that's I did not stick that in the trash can the suspect seems pretty calm after the interrogation but there might be something going on beneath the surface a 100 thoughts are probably going through her head and this seems to be confirmed when she asked the officers a question is there any way that I can like that you can just trespass me from here and not arrest me like you have to like I said it sucks but it's our job we have to do it you're going to be trespassed either way but we have to do what we have to do at the same time so what am I getting charged with retail cost and how much is that like to get bonded out you know 500 bucks prior convictions do you have Reta I don't I don't think I have any I might have one so 100 bucks 10 bucks so so it would be $100 is that what he said yeah he said that I guess $10 so bonds SP because it's always 10% of whatever the bond is so if you have no if you have no priors I have I'm saying it would enhance into a felony and I may have one is it a felony like it's was if you have two or more oh yeah I only I only have one I'll have to check the she check the statue to make sure well at least she didn't go through the whole can I pay for the items routine though this act wasn't much better after being given an answer the suspect seems to be resigned to her faith ready to be put in handcuffs I know it sucks but this it's not the worst thing can happen well do you want to take this ring off cuz that's going to have to come off anyway at some point is the worst thing that could happen my you could have involved in a Mur something yeah obvious put your hands together like a PR go right it's only 100 bucks you can call somebody sign for you sorry pining it's a little it's a little TI um yeah I have I have myne yeah but I'm tell it's going to be the report that you were forthcoming us us about so again a lot of people take that consideration and they respect that because that's all they want to see somebody accepting it and moving on and learning from it you know don't get don't get scr they put you on paper or something like that you I'd like to see you hold a sign out in front of the store saying you stole the cops were right her cooperation might make things better in court now that everything's wrapped up the only thing left to do is to take the suspect to jail this suspect went through all that trouble for an item worth $100 it's baffling that she tried to hide it in the bathroom as if the cops wouldn't find it but her excuse makes this case an amus using one some people go on shopping trips when their kids are about to go camping but sometimes they go shoplifting in July 2023 police were dispatched to a raw store after reports of a couple shoplifting fre I uh short version is I was just walking in just you know and I was actually why their car didn't they park right where you park okay I saw them running out did not identify myself or anything but I graide a car um and he told me to get out of the way instantly so I did get a picture and can that okay all right and do we have video of them we must I literally just out here okay yeah come to the off down good after an explanation from the employee the officer documented the details regarding suspects and their vehicle the car was spotted a day after at a Safeway store hey man I'm gar please Department hey corpal ask Police Department you come and CH me real quick hey man can you just have a sa with my bumper please so hee around put your hands bind your back for me this being detained right now what is he being detained for both you guys are being detained right now me what did I do SEC put your hands together hey man put your hands together hey fingers together Palms together I'll pick up your cigarette I promise drop your cigarette P together hey I I will tell you here in a sec put your palms together sir don't together no they are put your palms together theing thing on bro hey put your fingers what's up man you know L your fingers you're still going I'm not BR get mys good bro I didn't that's all youon stop it Brandon it's going to be real quick we'll let you know what's going on okay and then we're going to be out of these pucks right we're going to explain to you what's going on and why you're being detained okay I didn't do anything the officers acted swiftly but the male suspect identified as Brandon seemed pretty nervous and potentially uncooperative if he's feeling nervous maybe he should stay silent but then again he might have other ideas you guys are nuts I'm not nuts man cuz you live all the way in ever d i I was dropping my kids off the camp yesterday bro the you mean bro out of here no that chill you got me up bro so yesterday yeah a mail about you your description get my letter can I get my SE yeah hey D me Ms rest my the out of here let me explain expl hey I'm going to explain it all to you but you got to let me explain it to you can I get can I get my leg Yeah I got L hey I'm willing to work with you on this but chill chill hey I will explain everything to you but you got to chill for me okay Brandon so you're staying you had this vehicle yesterday it wasn't in the city at all your car no I was driving my off the yes it was in the city yesterday the car was yes because uh my friend who's in the store right now um came here to get grocery he took was he with your friend yesterday or was it just your friend in the car it was just my friend in the car Brandon's pretty agitated and he's lucky to have such a patient police officer attending to him however from the very start his story about the car doesn't match up with his Partners this could lead you to think it's a clear-cut case but apparently there's another person involved your car was involved in the here in city of Kirkland so let's go with you saying hey it's not him or it's not Brandon it's not you so who was it my friend that's in the store probably she took mear yesterday she has she I can't 1 2 3 I'll take one white here please I don't want uh I'm not going down for something that she yeah she did and I'll tell you what well he he's giving a bunch lip I'm going to show you the proof that it was your vehicle okay and you can tell me if I'm lying how's that sound hey is that your car with the ground sticker and the same license plate right here so yeah so right now you guys are my theft suspects right until I know otherwise well she's in the store right now getting her medicine but I don't want to be known that I told that it was if it was her not me okay a big bigger G Le on here okay so this story about an unknown male who matches the male suspects description helping the blond friend shoplift sounds a bit far-fetched however the cops need to question the friend before coming to any conclusions right now you're entertained because yesterday you had possession of the vehicle that's out there that's your friend's car yesterday I had possession of the car oh you know like I've been on my death bed right like I mean death b or not you match the exact video footage of a theft B occurred at Ross yesterday in our city with that car and you talking to the Lost prevention officer I'm sure you remember it so I just want you to be honest and tell me what happened popping to the last of yeah on your way out I don't think you R who lost prevention so tell me what happened yesterday with all that sir seriously yeah I honestly I'm very Str right now I don't want to let him say but can I please at least get if you're going to thinking Z at least can I yeah we we'll work to that but talk to me about yesterday I just said I'm the same that what happen I know you're same so what what happened to all the merchandise you stole from Ross yesterday I Hadad is it is it still in the car the blonde female suspect seems to be un well but that's to be expected when you're confronted with the consequences of your actions the officer who continues to be patient and very understanding continues to question her is there any merchandise that when you stole you stole some like kid shoes and stuff I get it you probably got family or taking care of them but where's that merediz style is it in the car or is it at home somewhere else it's g p our flight whatever we was scre all good have four KS they went to Camp okay see I these are things I need to know right right I can understand keep falling hard time but it doesn't mean when is tror right that's right you know and you know I appreciate that you're being honest with me now the next thing I want you to be honest in me about is who was with and I really knows hey what it is yeah well we'll go get them but who was with you yesterday was it the mail that's out there right now is it was Brandon with you yeah H ins not all the say now there's a little mystery left regarding the blonde female suspect but what's Brandon's role in all this what do you think was this guy really the other shoplifter or was he really mistaken for someone else entirely so was the Brandon with you I don't even know that I my friend okay was the who was the gentan with you yesterday was it the gentleman out in the car with you today yeah that yes yeah you did you just say yes to me one a scared scar I all four kids on scar right now he right your honesty goes a long way with me right now right it's the difference between me keeping you in jail or take you to jail or sighten you cuz you got medical issues right there four kids have M but I need your honesty about everything that happened okay yeah so the gentleman Brandon guy with by D was with you yesterday and he was the male we stole the items from the store correct huh by Cory who is four okay and you also stole items from the store yeah due to her Cooperative Manner and her medical issues the blonde suspect probably won't see jail time but Brandon might not be so lucky if he continues to lie and Brandon's partner has a disclaimer for the officers after learning his fate so child your friend she's under arrest too my partner's in there with him but she's advising that she along with Brandon we're both in Ross yest so Ross yeah here in Kirkland and they got stuff for the kids kids to go to camp and that's what they stole oh no clearly she and Brandon were both in on this yesterday so clearly you're not the person I'm looking for so I appreciate your honesty with me appreciate her honest I'm going to go talk to Brandon but right now Brandon going to be under arrest for the theft as well of here and somewhere else of here did she did he steal anything from here no I thought that's what we were in the parking lot from stealing from safely they well yesterday your car is involved in a theft at Roth you didn't yeah you didn't say that you said safe way I said safe way it was safe yeah I told him yesterday so it sounds like they got for uh the kids to go to Camp so I'm going to go chat with him and then she unfortunately got all these medical stuff looks like so she might not be coming with me but we'll figure that out as well okay she might have stuff we might still take her in to get fingerprinted photographed but release her today just because of her

looking for and this suspect hasn't stopped insulting them from the moment they approached him the man continues to be difficult with the officers as he's LED towards the cop car rock your head watch stand up stand up you going to slip on the ice again I'm trying to stand up sit like sit up sit back you got on this the other something don't worry about the seat belt got to put through the seat belt Safety First dude sit back there's not much more to this this case seeing as Justice was swiftly served the suspect was charged with retail theft assault and resisting arrest and all of this happened over $5 worth of stolen items [Music] when shoplifters get confronted excuses running and resisting arrest are sadly the norm but this next case is a bit special in July 2022 officers in Athens Georgia responded to reports of shoplifting in the Burlington store and the Kroger Supermarket this suspect has a unique idea on how to avoid arrest you you're under arrest now obstructed get your hand I had seizures I had I had seizures well no I didn't do nothing I didn't do nothing run oh please no no oh I just had give me your hand oh I'm please stop please stop this dude right here is trying to keep me from videoing this you got your hand I out the way I didn't do nothing well you shouldn't have name can you stop causing issues what I steal what I steal sit up on your side I can't please me we're 26 I'm 104 we're in front of c i not steal anything from your sto come on roll over and stand up let me up all right come on I can my store why'd you run for me because I know that was pointless I know you didn't do nothing why you running I a know what was going on for real I just sit right there what's your name look that wasn't worth that I did not steal anything I'm this with st but now you got us all scuffed up that's right a seizure was her way out of the scuffle of course it didn't exactly turn out how she'd planned a police officer searches her bag for the stolen items and he finds something very interesting well there's a cut straw on there like come on it's crushed up at the end you've been snorting with that I no I thought it on the ground I come on I did you pay for the stuff from Kroger well this stuff where' it come from all right this came from Kroger a representative from Kroger arrives to identify the stolen items you from Kroger right yes sir Hi how are you today how are you I'm not done talking hey I'm not done okay you tell me what's y''s cuz these are obviously yours I'm sure this came from there all right I'm going to continue reading and ask you two questions the I'm to just let me know if here yeah I guarantee all this yeah you just let me know if she actually went and paid cuz it don't look like she did cuz she just shoplifted from Burlington I didn't sh from Burlington while the officers and the kruer representative were identifying the stolen items another officer went inside to check out the security footage showing our suspect in action and then she had dropped a sensor on the floor and she's loading stuff into her bag right there [Music] if you got any camera angles where you can see your face I can get it from outside too no that's all right we already have her in custody they just got her the suspect was caught red-handed both live and in video but then it seems she might have had a bright idea while the officers were reading her Miranda rights it's hard to tell if the seizure was real or perhaps she thought she could put up a better and more dramatic performance this time do you understand thems 18 she's going into a seizure okay you got to get up you got to get up you got to stand up sit on your side goodness you got to sit on your side start fire as well just in this yeah bam yeah sit on your side for me stay right here keep breathing for me oh the officers of course call in paramedics an emergency medical technician does a short checkup and tries to talk to the suspect but it seems she might have fallen unconscious in the middle of it hey wake up I hear him man here I'll take over hey wake up yeah Master hey hey wake up I know you're listening to me I can see your eyes moving when I talk to you come on you're all right yo hey you go hey those please all right arrives on the scene and they're ready of course to take care of the suspect however one of the technicians has a surprise Revelation for the police officers we just brought her to the hospital for this earlier did you okay same situation okay same situation like she being arrested shop lifting over at CVS okay got okay gotcha it's good to know yeah I'm going call Mar right now did she just get out of there then yeah okay soy said she refused everything over there um she went over there slept for 3 hours we get said not good walk out okay W her to go again cuz she's not having SE no she's definitely faking yes since all of this was just an encore performance that nobody asked for the officers are sure now that she's faking everything in the meantime the officer inside the shop coordinates with the workers and the other officers to detail the stolen merchandise she have the merchandise with her when he got her uh yeah she's got quite a bit I'm not sure watches from where she's definitely got some stuff from Kroger and probably Burlington as well it's clothed with tags on it all in her bag 10 for I'm going to be in R you to get that stand for thank you sir if you mind just pulling out the photos of her um while she's at the rack just so we can get some some photos so she ditched the cart yeah she ditched the cart and that's when I looked over and behind the cart you could see the sensor on the floor okay so she pulls in and then her yellow shirt magically disappears and then uh you have the footage of her leaving yeah what's wrong with the shirt tell her I can do 10% back it just up just a little bit there Spong she's right in front of the door like right there there the suspect was taken to the hospital medically cleared and then taken to jail she was booked for shoplifting times 2 obstruction of law enforcement and giving a false name to law enforcement hopefully she doesn't believe in the saying that the third time's a charm in January 2023 Florida officers pulled over a woman who'd been suspected of stealing Legos from Target she fled the scene in a red SUV with a broken right window hello how are you I sto to you because this vehicle uh was possibly involved in a shop lifing from Target so they provided the description very well of the vehicle and uh description of you know you so uh do you have your driver's license with you yeah I don't you know yeah so I mean you essentially know what I know right now I mean there's a deputy there that has confirmed it um and they're trying to get all the details hashed out but um they provided a very clear description of the vehicle which matches this description and almost an identical tag number so um you know just uh hang out okay you don't have any weapons in the vehicle or anything okay all right I'll be right back the description of the SUV is a dead giveaway and this woman is indeed the person they're looking for but the officers still have to conduct the investigation in the meantime she's acting completely clueless you don't know what happened what's yeah did you make any stops when you got off the highway um yeah where'd you stop Target you stopped the target oh nobody said you took anything oh so what' you get a Target nothing I didn't get you didn't buy anything no okay um she's got a bunch of Legos in the back of this truck so it's uh possible that uh we could have more than one choplifter uh incident from another location how come you sto that Target just just to shop because I like I buy and sell Legos so you buy and sell Legos so you were shopping but you didn't get anything I didn't end up getting you didn't get anything no okay so they didn't have what you were looking for yeah the officers are trying to confirm if there are any other reports of stolen Lego boxes in the area having found a few in the back of the suspect's vehicle an officer then notices that she might not be as clueless as she acts you nervous you see him like here shanking a little bit yeah well they got the property yeah out she I mean she passed all lines of sale outside they recovered it outside the store you know she's got a bunch of Lego boxes uh like Star Wars Legos and all that I mean I can see in the back possible that uh according to the store they're saying that um she's been hitting other stores in the state I'm going to grab some water okay okay any weapons in the car no did you just get that no no do what yeah it since yesterday now it's been confirmed the suspect has been hitting stores on the hunt for Lego sets the cops have step out of the car before explaining how things will proceed from then on we're going to do a show up and uh the deputy is going to bring by the witness that we have and they're going to say whether or not that what whatever they observed was uh you or not I didn't didn't take anything from there [Music] well I mean uh according to them pass all lines of sale got out of the store and they recovered the property outside the outside the uh doors that was not outside doors you can see okay sounds to me that you have kind of an issue with this stuff you know and maybe you should get some help you know CU this isn't the way to be I'm not been rough time right now honestly like I'm going through divor b abusive yeah and I'm sorry the carelessness of the suspect seems to be giving way to something else rather than act innocent she now claims to be the victim of abuse to earned sympathy from the officers stating it as the reason for her shoplifting so you're going through some tough times that's kind of why you're getting caught up in this stuff yeah yeah like financially difficult times yeah my husband not supporting me at all and be together so are you I mean are you having to are you having to shoplift to provide for your needs that kind of deal huh is it basically I don't want to say too much to I'm sorry can't I don't really want to say too much to oh okay I see what you're saying not having your needs taken care of or suffering abuse of any kind is no excuse to go around shoplifting Lego sets the cops proceed to search her car and what they found only made the woman look even sketchier I'm starting to dig up a few uh things these are some brand new shoes in a Target bag no tags um there's a lot of like Target BS are in this um compressed like State here's a Walmart roll here's a Target roll blank receipt paper like but on the back is the store paper wow what an interesting collection of items the suspect either has a Keen Eye for Oddities or she has a malicious plan in mind on how she'll use all the things she collected I guess explain to me like so I mean you had these items and um according you know it's it's your word versus theirs right because they're saying something explain to me what happened how how did it all go go down I was pushing a car out of the store and they said they stopped me and I just walked away where did they stop you in the in the vest room the door vest um you mean like the main doors to the store all right so so you didn't that you didn't uh you weren't like in the parking lot going to your but you were heading out and they stopped you before you could get out they stand what's that yeah the suspect's story has drastically changed from the beginning when she pretended to be clueless at this point the witness arrives for the show up and the woman stands next to the road so we can confirm or deny if she's the culprit yeah just he want SL right under so just take a look as we drive by and let me know mhm that's her okay stand up turn off face the car put your hands behind your back like you're clapping put your BBS together I have broken fingers I have broken you have broken fingers I I broing pink sorry I was kind of being uncomfortable all right listen you've been qu try to take it easy on your hand hereen my's that it's going to be toad back my vehicle the investigation later confirmed that the suspect had tried to steal $1,137 32 cents worth of Legos from Target she was charged with Grand Theft and taken to the county inmate facility the shoplifters shown in these cases all had one thing in common the inability to understand that their actions have consequences but on the bright side many of them learned that honesty is the best policy and maybe just maybe they'll think twice before shoplifting in the future
