She also acknowledges she has shoplifted from this Target numerous times before. >> Like, I'm living in a hotel. I'm just having a hard time right now. >> I get it. And we all have hard times. >> I know. >> So, but we have a bigger issue right now. How many children are in your car right now? >> Two. >> Two kids.

And what what has taken place before? why you came to this particular Target? >> It was no particular Target, just that my son go to school in the area. >> So, how many times have you been at this Target right here and stolen items? >> I don't remember. I'm not sure. >> So, it's just been a a whole bunch of times. Okay. And have your children been present with you while you've done it? Like physically in the store? >> Maybe. >> Maybe. Okay. because um that's also a completely different charge. >> Police explain she faces multiple charges, including committing crimes in front of juveniles, and warn she could be arrested if she returns to Target. >> Because you are committing a crime in the presence of of juveniles. >> So, I'm not taking the arrest. Somebody else is going to take it. I'm here to pretty much kind of feel it until that person comes. Now, I will whatever it is that you what what you're telling me right now, I will relay it to the arresting deputy and it'll be up to them what they want to do. Okay?

If you do come back to this target, you will be subject to arrest. Okay. I do have to take a photo of you. >> Did you get the vehicle open? >> I can't just open it. >> They got the vehicle open. >> They broke the window. >> I can't say if they broke it or not, but if your 10-year-old is in the car, pretty sure he opened up the door for him. >> Yes. >> 4 513. That's 104. Hey. Hey. So, I'mma leave this car open so you so I'm going to go ahead leave this car. >> Deputies open the car to give the kids fresh air. A relative arrives to pick them up as the woman is taken into custody. >> Open so you guys could get some fresh air. Okay. >> All right. >> Uh um what's your name? >> Um >> and that's your sister Brenda. >> Yeah. Going to be in the fifth grade to make sure you guys get in some pair condition. Let me see. Make sure you guys get some get some hair over there. Okay. Like I said other I'm going to wait for the other deputy to see what he wants to do and then we'll go from there. Okay. >> Chocolate eyes. >> Uh do you have the information if he's picking up the kids or >> Yeah, I got it. I'll put it. Okay. Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Did you get her? It's right there in the Target. >> Yes. They're right there. They're about to suck. Okay. >> And they're on their way. >> Mhm. >> All right. All right. So, if you want to put your phone in your purse. >> Okay. Is it possible I can just leave it with them? >> The purse? >> Yeah. >> That's up to you. >> Yeah. I I trust this person. So, they are taking the stuff. I thought you just told her. >> No, I told her that they were taking the stuff because I don't know like how this works. I've never been to jail, so I have to take I I don't know like how long I'm going to be there. So, I They need food to eat. >> Okay, go ahead and stand up. Turn your hand back. Hey, how you doing? I >> just come to pick up the kids. >> You are? >> Yeah. Um, I'm your dad. >> What's your name? Sorry. >> Your name? >> Yeah. Oh, so you tell me what happened. >> Um, yeah, if you want to close the door. >> Yeah. So, their mom got caught a stealing out of that and so she's going to jail. >> No, not stealing. >> Stealing. >> Yeah. >> What What now? When you say stealing, that's a what? I don't know exactly what she took or what she you know and of course this isn't the first time. So you know >> loss prevention confirms she has been caught stealing at least seven prior times though she's being charged only for this incident. >> So let me call you right back. Let me call you right back. >> Let me ask you a question. Um things. >> Is there like bail or anything like that? >> Yeah, it's probably depending on what it is. As of right now, it's probably $500. It could be more. Um I don't know. She have a Florida license. >> You possible to pay that now? >> No, you won't be able to pay. It'll take some time. Um they go our loss prevention officer. >> Are you related to the subject? >> Yes, that's the >> This is all the stuff that she actually paid for. She didn't want to refund it. She said that she would like for it to go with you guys so they take food. Some of it is frozen. Now, let me ask a question. What like this is what she stole? >> No. >> What did she steal? >> She actually she actually asked us if we cannot disclose information to whoever was coming to pick up. Um it will obviously be public record and you'll be able to see it anyway. Um but this I'll just say this isn't the first time. >> No, she's never did this before. >> I'm saying this isn't the first time at the store. I'm telling you it's not >> that she did this. >> She's done this many times. I have documented incidents on I think probably seven or so. But I'm only charging her for the one today. I will say that >> she has children in the car. >> Absolutely. I told them that we we knew that she had children in the car before we even stopped her. >> So she was >> she just she just didn't papers and stuff, but I >> All right. What's in that pocket right there? >> It's a pen. >> The pen? >> Yeah. Let's walk you this way real fast. Okay. All right. Go in there and grab it. >> Yeah. >> I'm just going to tell you right now, um, anything else you have on you if it's introduced into the jail, it's going to be >> officers warn her about introducing contraband into jail. Final charges include grand theft and committing a crime in the presence of minors. >> Charge. You understand? >> Anything but >> anything else on you? any other drugs, knives, guns, anything like that. Any kind of >> substance? >> No, I don't have any. >> Okay, we're just explaining if you introduce it to a jail after this point, it is introduction contra. Okay, >> I don't have anything. >> Okay. Despite the seriousness, she receives only 3 months of probation. Leaving children in danger while committing crimes only adds to the harm and consequences. Desperation is never an excuse. Poor choices today can destroy trust and future opportunities. If not the craziest incident you can see, the next case even more. [music] >> [music] >> on August 9th, 2024 in Flaggler County, Florida, police officers responded to a call from Target after loss prevention staff detained a woman who had captured on CCTV switching price tags on multiple items prior to checkout. >> Okay, so what is going on tonight? Honestly goes a long way. >> Going through a divorce. Don't have any money. Didn't know what to do. >> Okay, so they have like I said they have camera footage and everything. >> I've been living in a house with no water. >> Okay. >> Nothing. >> All right. Do you still have this on you? >> No, I don't have that on me. >> No. >> No. >> Okay. So, they had you on on on camera swapping tags, >> price tags, and stuff like that. Okay. So, the total amount that you should have paid was over $200. >> Roughly. >> $200? >> Yeah. What? >> This what they're scamming right now is at $189 from what you >> What? >> Well, just alone that Lego set it was almost $100. >> Oh my god. >> The suspect identified as Carla was involved in a scheme known as price tag switching. a tactic where a person removes the price tag from a cheaper item [music] and places it on a more expensive one to pay less at checkout. >> The parents was like 2530 bucks and you put a new tag on it. >> How were you putting the tags on them? >> I didn't put those tags on that. They were hanging in the clearance aisle. >> Okay. >> I bought them. Yeah. >> You didn't take any of the tags off the pants? >> No. >> What tags did you put the video? I'm in the clearance aisle the whole time. >> What tags did you swap them? Just the um sticky ones. >> Okay. How many items did you swap? >> Um a folder, the Lego set. I told him that. The folder, the Lego set, and nothing. And then a bag didn't have a tag. >> Okay, >> that's it. I'm not sure what the price me I can't go to jail. You guys don't understand. Carla was desperate to avoid going to jail, knowing she was already on probation for a previous theft related offense. To make things worse, her young son had been with her during the entire incident. >> Understand what's going on. They they might not have pursued charges, but she's done this multiple times in this store. >> In this store? >> Yes. >> I don't understand. I gave her money to go get sleep aids and tea. I'm like, go to Dollar General. >> She's been doing this apparently. >> She didn't know. No. Okay. >> Okay. >> It has that's not the it has nothing to do with your soda, buddy. Okay. But and Grandpa will explain everything to you. Okay. I already kind of gave him a speech and mom made a mistake that she knew was wrong. But um yeah, they they they just haven't caught her until today. >> The officer informed Carla's father that he wouldn't be able to bail her out that night since she was already on probation for theft. Unlike his daughter, he appeared to be a sincere and decent man. that they're from. I left Dollar General two weeks ago with a 12-pack of water and forgot all about it. So, I went all the way back and I forgot to pay for this. The lady's looking at me like >> I did it too for plastic utensils. >> This might be uh might be it for >> I don't know. I don't know. Seems like she's perfuming the pig with with him. But I already told him I said she made a mistake, >> you know, but she did something wrong. So >> trying to help her. I mean, she's going through a rough time with, you know, five kids moving into house a little bit off, but like >> she's not helping herself right now. >> Yeah. She refused to go to the store. Hm. >> I refuse to go to the store with her >> because I'm like, you bring me out. I'm like, >> it's almost every time. >> I don't know. I don't trust her. >> That's bad. >> What Carla's father described seemed to resemble kleptomania, a compulsion to steal, even when there's no real need or gain. It was as if she was addicted to shoplifting. >> Dad just said he gave you money. >> He did. He gave me $28. And then I just came here to see if they had my mom's sleep aids here. >> Why did you steal? >> Because I've been locked in my house for 9 years with a husband who controlled me. >> What does that have to do with you stealing stuff? >> To have money or anything. >> What does that have to do with you stealing stuff and setting a terrible example for your son? >> Ma'am, you don't have to tell me how to be a mother. I understand. I'm >> not telling you how to be a mother. I said you're setting a bad example. >> I understand >> multiple times. Yes, you're right. You're 100% right. Thank you for admitting >> that. Must have been tough for her to hear, but it was something she needed [music] to face. The officer was absolutely right. Stealing was bad enough on its own, but doing it in front of her son sent an awful message. >> Tell your son that you forgot to pay for it. >> I didn't tell him that. >> Okay. Cuz I already told him. I said, "You made a mistake and you made a bad decision." >> Hold that thought. I told him that you made a mistake [music] and you made a bad decision. and that you knew what you did was wrong. Your your parents are helping you out. You didn't have a need to steal anything. >> My parents doing the best. My mom has cancer. My dad barely has anything. >> So you needed a popsocket. >> I didn't take a popsocket. >> Why did you have the wrapping? Why did you open up the wrapping if you weren't stealing? I didn't. I ripped it in half. I threw the other half. >> Why? >> Why not? Who cares? I don't get it. I >> Why would you destroy the packaging? >> Why would you destroy the packaging? [music] >> I don't know. >> It's a terrible lie. >> So, you're setting an example for your son that he can walk around the store and just rip and open the packaging. >> [music] >> We get lied to on a regular basis and that's a terrible lie. >> She was formally informed that she was under arrest, then placed in handcuffs as officers began searching through her belongings, documenting every item tied to the theft. >> What's your name? >> THC. That's a felony. >> No, I have my card. >> Where is it? It's not on me, but you can look up my name on it. >> When you have something like that, you're required to have it with you. [music] And you know that. >> I do know that actually cuz my ID always works in the dispensary. >> What? >> I don't have to bring my med card. I can bring my ID >> because they can look it up. But once you get it, you are legally required to have that at all times. >> Yeah, I know. The popsockets in there. >> So why did you lie about it? >> Cuz I felt stupid. [clears throat] cuz they were like over. >> What about this? >> That looks like it's package. That looks like it's terrible. >> You're not even showing me what you give me. >> I'm not required to. It >> doesn't belong to you either. >> Is it mine? >> No, it's not yours. >> That's what we're trying to figure out. And they just said, "No, it's not yours." So, you can't even keep track of what you stole. >> Yeah. Just pull them out of everything. In what way did you think you had a right for me to ask them if they if that was their property or not? >> It was clear the officer had reached her limit with Carla. She was visibly disturbed by Carla's dismissive attitude and even more upset that her young son had been exposed to the entire ordeal. >> You know you can lose your medical marijuana license for not abiding by their laws, right? >> I know that. >> You should know that. It's your responsibility to know that. >> Just like having your driver's license mean >> I'm not being mean. I'm being blunt and honest. >> Just because you don't like what I'm saying doesn't mean it's mean. I'm being mad. It's a It's a statement of fact. It's your responsibility. >> I get it. >> I'm not being mean. I said it's your responsibility to know that >> consequences, right? >> Yep. [music] >> Exactly. >> All deputy has to do >> is charge you with this for not following the rules and your medical card. Is it her? Okay. >> Yeah. I don't I don't know for sure about that one. >> Well, we can't tell. We can't trust when you say it's yours cuz those underwear are yours which they're showed me you opening up before. I have a bunch of underwear. >> So, they're not yours. >> I kept looking at them to see if they were too bad or too small. >> You can understand why I don't believe anything that comes out of your mouth. >> Further investigation revealed that she was already on probation for a petty theft incident dating back to September 2023. Given her repeat offense, Carla was once again charged with petty theft. Stealing may seem small at the moment, but it destroys trust and can ruin your future. Honesty and integrity are worth far more than anything money can buy. All right, let's move to this next case where things might get even messier. >> Did these end up in your purse? >> I was literally walking with my wallet like this. So like I had it like this. >> No, no, don't grab it. >> I'm No, I'm just saying like if I had it like this. >> On March 1st, 2025, officers responded to a retail theft at Walmart and spotted a man and woman who looked like they were in mid Walmart Olympics. The cops stopped them and politely escorted them back inside for a little receipt review. >> Okay, let's walk back inside. Let's walk back inside. Okay, walk right back inside cuz like 2:15 we'll be out with you. >> We just got to verify something. Okay, we're going to walk over here to the corner. The suspects swore they paid in cash because apparently cash makes everything legit and let the officers check their bags and purses while carefully dodging certain questions like they were on a game show. >> Hard to find or something? >> No, >> we pay cash. >> You guys pay cash? Okay. Just just stay right stay right here. Okay. >> Okay. Do you have any weapons on you? >> No. >> Okay. >> Can I just make sure you don't have any weapons on you? >> Here's a receipt. I'll take this. We're still here. Turn around. What do you got in here? Do you mind if I look? Don't reach. Don't worry about your charger. Don't reach. >> All right. You got your wallet on you or anything? >> Can I have your ID? >> Can you roll it out for me? >> Where you guys from around here? >> I'm from Alak. >> Let's go to the LP office. Okay. I'll I'll I'll take the cart. Okay. >> Okay. So, you had your own handheld basket? >> Yeah. And then once it got like full cuz he was supposed to throw in it, then he just took the basket and threw it in the cart. >> Okay. So, who put the the purse in in the carts? >> Would have been him and then the basket. But like, >> was it in your basket first though, >> Deon? Is there any like country or any thing from the store in your purse here? No. >> If I just checked. The woman wasn't thrilled about a full purse search, but admitted some things were from Walmart, just [music] already paid for, or from somewhere else. Basically, the classic, "These aren't the droids you're looking for defense." >> Don't reach. Don't reach. Do you mind if I check? >> I say, "Yeah, don't mind." I was going to say, >> "Do you want Can you just show me that there's nothing from >> I was going to say there's literally nothing in here?" >> Why? Why can't I check the rest of this purse? >> Cuz I mean, I just don't see the really need necessary. Well, I want to make I want if you're saying you didn't steal anything. The only way for me to prove that >> this is this is there. >> This is this is there. >> Yeah, but that's about that's it. >> Okay. I need to verify there's nothing else in there that belongs to the store. So, I need to search this first. That's what I'm saying. >> No, I'm telling you like I'm I'll give you everything that's in there. >> Okay. Can you show me? >> Yeah. I'm going to say here's this. >> I'm giving >> This is from there, too. >> Yeah. But that's it. This is mine. >> Why was this in your purse? I had it in my hand with my wallet. So, >> did you pay for this? Okay. >> So, other than that, like I'm telling you, everything else that's in here is mine. >> Can you start pulling stuff out and putting it on here then? If you're saying there's nothing else in there, this is mine. >> That's yours. This is not from Walmart. It's from all Walmart, but it's the one on walk. >> You paid for it >> in walk. Yeah. >> Okay. This this everything else is like basic cigarettes. More vapes. More vapes. Keys. I don't know. >> She kept pulling out random purse items like a magician doing a hat trick, insisting each was from a previous [music] shopping trip. The officers, however, were less impressed and more interested in why the timeline didn't add up. >> As I said, ain't nothing else in here, though. I promise you. Right. >> Can you open this up? >> Everything else that I bought is in there. >> But you bought What's that right there? What's that? >> That's from. >> Can you pull that out? >> Yeah. I was going to say that's from Waggan. >> I was at the Waggan Walmart yesterday with with a buddy. >> Same guy. And you purchased this. Do you have a receipt from this? >> Uh, he should have the receipt. >> Stop reaching your purse. Take this out. I I'm not going to look into it, but stop reaching for take this off and just put it on the ground. >> Okay. I was going to say I promise you they sell the same thing at Walmart. I got it at the Walmart walk and I got the same card in the Walmart walk. >> Okay. How much did you pay for this? >> Yeah, it was like $59. >> $59? >> Yeah. Okay. >> All right. So, walk me through what happened today. Who put what in the cart? >> Everything. So, everything that got put in a cart was I had a basket that had my stuff in it and that when the basket started getting overfilled, he put the basket in the cart. >> Like that. >> The woman said she and her companion split payment at selfch checkckout, denying any skip scanning and claiming she just liked storing items in her purse while shopping because who needs a cart when you've got a Gucci tote. >> Handheld basket. >> Yeah, like the handheld basket. He dumped it in the car. >> All right. And then did you Who paid for what? Who paid for what? >> We paid for it to set like together. So like I scanned all >> Okay. >> And then mine was $62 or something like that. And then he scanned all the rest of his stuff and it was $88. >> All right, Deon, be honest with me cuz they have cameras on each of those selfch checkout registers. When we watch the video footage, am I going to see you skip scanning any product? Anything? >> I like you said, I I everything I scan, I put on there. And if I didn't want it, I told him to take it off and I handed it to >> which guy? the the one that was standing the worker. >> Yeah, the worker. He took every one of them. >> How did these end up in your purse? >> I was literally walking with my wallet like this. So, I I had it like this. >> No, no, don't grab them. >> I'm No, I'm just saying like if I had it like this, I was walking like that. >> And you put these in your purse and >> Yeah, I put all of this like that. >> Why did >> I Where did you get this stuff? >> The makeup aisle. >> Okay. >> I wasn't even like I couldn't even feel it when I'm like sitting like this. >> Okay. >> We can't feel a lot of that. But I was going to say that's like5 $6. Did you put it this stuff in your purse with that stuff right after you picked it up off the aisle or when you were walking out >> when I an aisle? >> In the aisle. Okay. >> I'm pretty sure. >> Can you stay here with Officer Wright just for a second? >> What's that? >> Did you go through the towel right now? >> I guarantee you the package for that cord he was talking about in there. >> And it was a cord he was concealing in your guys' cart. >> Uhhuh. I guarantee it because >> Officers suspected a product box had been hidden. Walmart staff suspected skip scanning and confirmed they were missing items. >> Threw something up to the pallet towel I ordered like oh I don't want this anymore and it looked like a box. >> So you saw him cons? >> No, but I didn't think it was a I thought he just threw the box back and was like I don't want this anymore. >> So where did you where did you get this from? >> Wkegan. >> Waggan. How about this? >> Walk. >> Okay. And those two things that you gave to me earlier, you said you took it. What else did you take? Cuz Walmart's saying that you skip scan. >> They're pulling it up right now. They're saying you skip scan. >> What did I skip scan? >> That's what we're getting all that information now. I mean, at minimum, you took those two things. Not a big deal, but we got to go through all that stuff. So, hang out here with Officer Wre I'll be right back. >> Okay. >> Charles, right? Do you go by Charlie? >> Yeah, >> Charlie's fine. >> Charlie. Okay. >> I know you've been asked a lot of questions, but here's your opportunity to just be straight with us. Just let me know what happened today, who took what, and what exactly happened. >> The man then dropped the bomb. He'd removed phone chargers from their boxes in the store and stuffed them in his pocket, [music] tossing the empty boxes away because in his mind, the woman would totally cover for him. >> Just the phone chargers, but I thought they were going to be already paid for. So that was my violence mistake. As far as everything else in the car, I was just a guy. I was just standing there. >> The phone chargers. >> Yeah. The packaged phone chargers or the unpackaged one? >> The package or the ones that were in there? >> The loose ones. >> Yeah, >> I think that's >> okay. So, how how do they come un loose? If they >> I open them cuz I was going to see if they fit the phone. >> When did you open them >> in the store? But I thought she was going to take care of paying them. >> Okay. That doesn't really make sense to me if you're going to pay for Where's the Where's the package? If you un >> I just threw it cuz I'm lazy and didn't want to. I just put it on the shelf. But I thought she had another one so we could scan too. How do you think the store was going to figure out how much these were if you didn't have the package? >> Cuz I was going to I thought that I had another box in here. >> Okay. So, you're telling me you took off the package? Where did you hold these? >> Where were these at? >> They were in my pocket cuz I was checking them on my phone. >> Okay. Do you see how this looks looks to us? >> Yeah, I know. I'm take the package out. I will pay for anything. >> Why did you put this Why did you put this in your in your pocket here? >> Cuz I thought it was already paid for. >> At what point did you put it in your pocket? >> When I was walking in the store. Cuz I thought >> Out or in? No, I was in the store. >> You were walking in the store and you concealed these in your pocket? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> At any point did you take these out of your pocket at the register? >> No, I thought the box was in here still cuz I thought I put one box in here to scan two of them. >> Okay. But you threw but earlier you >> I did throw on shelf is like I just want to be lazy but lazy. >> He explained their divide and conquer strategy. split up, unbox things, hide some in the cart, some in his sweatshirt, and meet at selfch checkckout for the grand finale. >> There's other things at the bottom. I didn't know that that was not scanned. They said you could look at the scanner. I was just standing there, but I'll pay for whatever is not paid for. I didn't know the >> So, we're a little bit past that point. Um, >> and you guys are getting a total. >> Um, so just to make sure I understand it right, you and Devin came to the store together. Who drove? >> Deon. >> Deon. Okay. Is her car out there? >> Yeah. Is there anybody else out in the car? >> What type of car is it? >> What color? >> Gray. >> The license plate off hand. >> No. >> Okay. So, you guys come to the store together. What are you trying to get? Like >> I just came here for my phone and I seen the jacket and I'm like, "Okay, I'll get the jacket." >> Are you guys going around the store together or are you guys just going separate ways? >> Uh, kind of like half and half. >> Half and half. Okay. Don't Don't answer that right now. I got to talk. >> You're fine. Okay. Okay. So, you're in the store. Who picked up these from the shelves? Who when they were boxed? Who? >> I did. >> You did?
