So we have this lady multiple occasions for the same woman not only doing the item corrects but also sweethearting product just letting her leave the store with the >> Does she like know these people? >> So she did. She said so during my interview she acknowledged who she through the person was. She said she met him through a friend and became friends with him. She said it was no personal gain but she knows that she's struggling and she felt bad for this person. I went a little bit further with her. I didn't really get too into details cuz I did this could have just opened up a whole freaking whole whole mess. >> Yeah. >> She did it for other people too. A contractor. She started going down that rabbit hole. I'm like let's get back to her. So we have a we have a felony documented with receipts over $1,100.

So basically what it's telling you is how we opened up what what tools we utilized to find the investigation, the dates of when what she did and when she did it and for the person she did it for and then the total amount and then a little bit more on here it goes into basically what information I have on her which I have more which you'll get yourself obviously. Um everything is going to show a screenshot, the receipt, the amount, and the total amount that was out. Um and showing the description of her and everything like that. She acknowledged everything.

Like I mentioned to you earlier, I have nothing to do with how it gets paid back or any restitution. I have nothing to do with that. I'm just the investigator, so I I speak to you about the situation, you admit to what happens, and then we go from there. Um but based off of the investigation and our conversation today, um and on the notice it basically reads that on today's date you admitted both written and verbal to um uh allowing a a friend that you met to leave the store on multiple occasions with merchandise that was not paid for. >> Didn't get much graph, didn't get into much detail, just basically that piece on the termination notice.

So, 1 year from now it expires, okay? 1 year from now you can come back to the store. You can do whatever you want, okay? But, for right now for 1 year you cannot come back to this location. That means you can also not be anywhere in the parking lot on the property. You can't go inside anything like that, okay? So, do you understand that? Okay, ma'am. You're good to go. Um there may be someone reaching out to you just with more questions about what exactly happened with with the incident, okay? Okay.

There was four separate incidents going back all the way until the 17th of last month, right? They have it on the register. They have it on the CCTV that you were logged in on the register and then the CCTV CCTV footage as well of you taking these items off this lady's cart and then just putting them right back in. You didn't scan any of them. Okay. Do you remember any of this? >> No, sorry because I can't remember. I know I what I remember, she have a cart. You know when they had the four for 10? >> Yeah. >> And she bought a whole lot of cart full of mulch four for 10. And I think she bought about six dollars. It was a four for 10. And I know she had two of the thing you know that she put down that you put the mulches on. >> Right. But so battery. So, based on all of that together, right? And I was able to look at the CCTV footage. Cuz all the It's got all four of the incidents covered on there. It's from right above your register, the one that you were logged in on, right? Okay? So, based upon all that, it it is going to be looking like you're going to be charged with grand theft at this time. Okay? >> Really? >> Yes. So, I'm very sorry, but you can >> me Hold on.

I wouldn't I would bring as little stuff as possible because it's all going to have to go into their holding cell, okay? >> I I wouldn't bring the sneakers either cuz they're going to give you shoes there. Anything that you bring, you're going to risk cuz you know it's just going to go into a bag and it's going to go into a big pile. So, you know. >> won't get them back? >> You will. You'll get it back, but it's just you know, I would just bring >> might get mixed up. >> Right, stuff stuff happens. That's why I usually tell people don't bring any jewelry, I'll let them take their jewelry off, anything like that, anything valuable like they have a nice cell phone or headphones or anything like that.
