In March 2024, police were dispatched to a Walmart in Round Rock, Texas, following reports of a theft in progress. Using their sophisticated surveillance system, asset protection agents observed a male and female suspect exit the store without paying for merchandise. Upon arrival, officers located both suspects, a 37-year-old female named Lisa and a 39-year-old male named Mingo, attempting to exit the store without making payment. It is noteworthy that Lisa and Mingo have a significant history with law enforcement, having previously been arrested on charges that include criminal trespass, assault, driving while intoxicated, theft, possession of a controlled substance, public intoxication, forgery, and mail theft. >> The uh the male has a cap with a stealing price tag attached to it, and they have a bunch of pills they grab. >> I guess I'll already ask you, you want to press charges? >> Yeah. Okay. Just want to make sure. What register are they on? >> Register 35. 35 like right on this side.

So it still hasn't been scanned. What's in the basket? >> Female's got green hair, green dress, and apparently she has tights on. the the male has a hat from the store with the tax still on it on his head. >> So, are they still committing the act or what are they doing? >> They're still in the act uh doing it.

Obviously, we can wait here, but it has to be a reasonable amount of time for us. All right? Obviously, it's a we can say it's a death in progress, but it hasn't been completed quite yet. Obviously, there's circumstantial evidence that they're probably going to commit the act. >> We're also not going to stay all night and wait for them to try to scan. So, what we can do is go in there and make contact with them. Um, if y'all want to deny any type of business obviously at this point, we can do that. Um, and then remove them from the premise, that's up to you. What do you want to do, Carl? Cuz they can only be here for a certain amount of time. >> They still have the unpaid merchandise that she put the tights on. And I don't know if the hat is or not. Not too sure.

You know, >> obviously though, you've shoed before in retail. You understand that you're supposed to pay for something before passing all the points of sale or the exit door, right? So, you understand that. >> That's what I'm saying. Like, I always follow her like and she always pays for everything. Her mom, grandma always pays for everything, man. >> Don't tell, you know, you can see she has long, you know, money and credit cards, you know, but I mean, I'm just there with her and, you know, I love her.

The store looks at it as you have 30 chances to pay for it. >> Is there anything that you need to get from here before we take them off? >> Is there anything you need to get from here before we take them out? >> I tried to pay.
