You know, they're trying to talk to you guys, trying to work things out >> where the most you guys probably got was just to get trespassed and called back. They're both. Yeah, they're both good. >> They're both good. >> So, we'll just wait for that. >> So, those two are together. >> Yes, these two. She's the one that >> staff also noted additional items. Jeans, a hoodie, shirts that were picked up but later put back. The original recorded loss totaled 11876 hits. >> Committed the theft. She walked out with it. He was just like merchandise with her. But we picked them up and they were way back here. >> So it's like the jeans, the hoodie. >> There's some other things I can't remember off the top of my head.

LP says they were stopped at the door. >> Was the merchandise recovered? >> Yes. >> All of it was >> Yes. >> All merchandise was recovered. unclear area where they see death charges or trespass or DC what we we think uh we're going to do they do want to proceed with it I think we're for the male it's going to be more of a complicity they we just noticed something with the male involved so we're going to double check to make sure he did not conceal anything in his pants and stuff as well all right I've got loss prevention here we're working on some affidavit real quick >> officers pated down and detained the male for questioning meanwile While the woman continued denying theft, repeatedly asking why she was being accused as officers read her rights. >> I'm going to get a copy of the receipt now.

Do you understand, Miss Ramy? Do you understand? Okay. >> Can I get in the truck? >> Just Just hang tight for me. All right. walk over to my car over here. >> Y'all basically cut me up because I was hostile. Y'all didn't like that. That's what's going on. That's what's going on. Basically, just be honest. Y'all didn't like that. I was being hostile with the situation due to the fact I didn't steal. What am I stealing for? I have money on me. I asked him, "Did he want me to buy this shit?" He said, "No." He tried to make me go back there. I told him, "No, I ain't steal [ __ ] What am I going back there for?" And I walked out. So, how did I steal? Can you explain it now? >> I will.

They retrieved the merchandise. >> They didn't retrieve nothing from me. Not my personal. >> Well, I mean, there's an officer in there. He's reviewing body camera or camera footage. So, you told me you told us to go check the cameras and somebody's doing that and that's what it shows because you're trying to conceal merchandise. >> It shows me dropping it in the car seat. That don't mean that we trying to steal anything. >> Okay. >> What the >> All right. So, that was the answer to your question. >> Then I asked buy [ __ ] He said no. So, can I go in here and buy that [ __ ] >> No. >> Like I said, you're under arrest. >> All right. Cool. Close the door. That's all it is. >> Can I get your seat belt? So from video evidence, everything like that, you guys are concealing merchandise, correct? You told me about the multiple hats. How many hats? I said just keep working with. >> Police explained that concealment and attempting to exit without paying qualifies as attempted theft. With surveillance as evidence, both were warned they could face charges or at minimum a trespass. >> So we can work with you a little bit better. >> Yeah. >> He's going to jail for what? >> So as of right now for them, Okay, I said the camera footage, we're still going on it. >> Okay, our policy is we usually take two like people who get charged with theft to jail. Okay, we're trying to work with you so you don't go tonight and give you a court date. But I would prefer to get your side of the story a little bit better now. Okay, that way we don't have to take him, take you, and your baby needs to get picked up by somebody else. >> We took a couple items, but put it back. He got it all. He don't He don't have nothing. >> Okay. You took a couple items. Were you planning on paying for them? >> Yes. He was going to pay for some. >> And where did you put those items at that you were planning on playing? >> He got them. I told you I gave it to him >> when you first picked them up. Where did you put them at? >> Did you put them in a cart? Did you put them in the baby's uh baby carrier? >> Baby carrier. But we you know, I used it as the cart, you know. >> He got He got everything. >> You put underneath the baby. On top of the baby. >> On top. >> On top. Okay. Were there any other items? But your intent was to steal them. It did not work that way. You put them out and you guys did not walk out with any clothing. Correct. >> Okay. >> And you know you can still get charged with theft for attempting, right? >> Okay. I said they're going through camera footage. They see everything. >> I said it might have been better. You guys were a little bit nicer. You could have got trespass. >> I understand. >> Okay. >> I was nice. >> Okay. I wasn't there. >> I'm not approved. >> Okay. >> So, like you said, hang tight. You're not free to leave yet. We're going to give you a court gate and we're going to go from here and see what else is going on. All right. >> So, you attempted to steal. You were concealing. I'm You want me to answer the [ __ ] question, brother? >> All right. So, you are concealing items in the baby stroller, right? That's what she is telling us, right? And you attempted to leave the store without paying for it. They stopped you, retrieved the merchandise. That is attempt of theft. I I think you should just get behind accepting that this is happening and then you could fight it in court. All right. Uh she's going to get a court date and you're going to go down to the justice center, Miss Ramsey. All right. So, these are the lost prevention guys. You already met them, right? So, they're going to verbally trespass you, right? So, you can't come back to this meer ever again. >> Any meer. >> Any meer. All right. And then um they're going to take a picture just and post it up in their office so people know. All right. So I just ask you to comply with them so we can continue on with the night. All right. >> All right. Thank you. >> All right. Mr. Horn, these are loss prevention guys. All right. You already met them. All right. They're going to give you a trespass. All right. From all Myers. All right. >> So I was going to ask you to listen to them. >> I'm still going to the justice center. >> You're still going to just center. That doesn't change nothing. So >> close the door. You don't want to talk to them? >> What is What am I talking about? I didn't steal [ __ ] >> I'm going to trespass you from the Green Township Meer. Okay. >> I didn't steal. >> That's okay. It has nothing to do with anything. I could trespass you because they don't want you here. All right. So, don't ever come back to Green Township. Got it? You understand that? If you were found here at Green Township, you'll be arrested. Right on. >> So, I stole. So, you found me. >> You're trespassing. Did you stab me with something? Did I steal? >> Right now, I get your trust. >> I'm just asking you a question. Let me get a picture and let you go. >> I need a picture of you from >> I'm asking you a question. Did I steal? Yes or no? >> I'm listening to the officer. >> I'm asking you a question this year. >> Just take a picture, >> man. You got me. >> Sir, I need a phone for my reports. >> All right. >> I appreciate your quit. Can't even be stand up ass people. >> Put this [ __ ] in her car. Who the [ __ ] know she had this? >> She got caught out trying to pay for this [ __ ] Who got the money? What the is this [ __ ] >> Careful, buddy. You get another charge. >> Get a charge for what? I ain't destructive. [ __ ] Ain't [ __ ] break. >> Yeah, you are. >> Ain't [ __ ] Nothing break. >> So how am I getting another charge? I say you will if you keep it up. >> Keep acting like that. >> Acting like what? >> All right. >> Y'all detaining me for no reason. Yes, I will act like this. >> The I'm innocent. You count everything in her purse or whatever the you call. >> Who the [ __ ] is supposed to know she making this [ __ ] disappear? >> Final outcome. Both the man and woman were charged with theft. The man was booked and released. The woman received a scheduled court date. Trying to hide items in a baby stroller doesn't make theft any less serious. Store cameras and staff will catch it. Cooperation with officers can reduce consequences, but hostility only makes the situation worse. But this is still not the worst case. Just wait until you see this next one. >> How was it? On October 11th, 2021, our scene opens at Dick Sporting Goods where officers respond to a report of shoplifting. The suspect, a woman, is already mid plea telling officers she was going to pay but didn't have a shopping basket because obviously carrying Adidas gear in your purse is totally normal when carts aren't available here. So, there's a woman inside. What happened was I saw her purse and it was rather thin. She came in, she started going into the Nike pad, uh, the Adidas pad. Okay. And then I saw her kind of dodging me, whatever. And so I approached her and said, "Ma'am, would you I noticed you you were looking at our Adidas clothing. Would you kindly tell me where those items are so I can put them away?" And she's like, "Oh, uh, I have them here in my purse. Uh, I use that as the storage bin, but we have plenty." I've heard that story a zillion times. She's still in the store shopping. She gave me the items back and I put them on the back of the register. But we want to trespass her and we want to we want her out. We're going to prosecute, too. >> Did she go past the points of sale or anything? >> Uh, no. No. But she she concealed in her purse, and you know, that's enough for us to trespass and and prosecute. >> Okay. >> Thank you so much, Officer Woods. >> All right. >> Well, >> I told her it wasn't a big deal so that she kind of stay here, right? >> Yeah. >> I got you. >> Store employees chime in. They watched her tuck away some Adidas clothing in her purse.
