After all, in today's world of surveillance footage and cell phone cameras, it's almost [music] impossible to sneak out of a business with unpaid merchandise. So, right when they thought they might get away, that's when these dumb shoplifterss get instant karma served to them by the cops. >> I might as well be arrested. >> You're not. Just hold on. Okay, so I got to figure out who she is. >> On July 29th, 2023, officers at a grocery store responded to an ongoing shoplifting report.

Can you show me on another contact at the front line? >> Well, then you'll just have to call a new one. Let's go. >> No, I don't because my my insurance is not caught. My insurance is not covered. >> Okay. So, this is what's going to happen right now. Either we go figure this out or I'm going you're being detained for this. We're going to figure it out and then if you've stolen this stuff, then I will arrest you for it. Or we can go inside and solve this issue and then we don't have to go down that route.
