Dale grabbed me this morning and said he and Chandler got an email last week and I guess they've been like tracking it and I guess now I guess that was a lucky number. 26,000 I guess. I don't know. I thought maybe like a dollar was enough. >> Yeah, that have been it. >> Yeah, I guess. Round. Jeez. So, I guess um they're going to show us the evidence, you know, if you've got the evidence, we're good. What how we got it to this amount of money? >> That's big boy. >> That's serious money. >> Come on in. >> Thank you, man. >> So, is she here now? >> Yeah. Okay. >> Okay.

Has >> she done anything yet? >> Oh, yeah. >> We've already done the pre-bag look at. We've already pulled all the large bags out and put them in the 82 bag. >> So, it's already happening. >> So, good news is when you do your investigation, she will have cash on her. >> Oh. Okay. >> So, it'll be Oh, yeah. Your job. >> This her right here. >> Yeah. >> Yes. [snorts] >> This is live. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> So, what is she supposed to be doing? >> So, what she's supposed to be doing is she processes the save. She writes it all down on this little piece of paper and then she's supposed to go through each one of these bags individually and then put all the money from the bag inside of this machine. She should have no money on her whatsoever. >> Okay. >> No money comes out of that that that office. >> Okay. When What does she How have y'all caught her? What have you all seen? >> Yes. So, here we can go in my office and I can give you so on that video, but essentially we got an email from our investigation center um two days ago that this team member was flagging for um like shortages in our cash office process. >> Um >> you want to do that or you want to watch this? >> Your place. Um, so we have obviously we'll have all the evidence and everything ran out for you, >> but essentially while she's doing the cash office process, she is um filtering like she's pulling the high bills from those bags, >> putting them and keeping them in a bag, rolling that bag up, concealing it into a cardboard box, and then when she's done with the cash office process, bringing that box to the restroom, emptying it on her person somewhere, and then throwing that empty box away. So yesterday we did a full review of everything. Um and we even like pulled the trash. It's bagged and tagged up there. Um so we can confirm that she left with cash >> and emptied it in the bathroom. >> Um but she's been doing this. We only have video retention for 30 days. So in the last >> days >> $26,000 of her. is the overview of that for all >> location. >> But this is the live one, but I can show you. >> Does she know? >> She does. Um, but this is a covert camera. So, we put a smoke detector above the ceiling with a camera in it. >> So, we had >> So, she's in that camera. >> We had this view. >> Okay. And so like the way she's moving her hands, um it was pretty. >> You've got footage of her actually like pulling the bills out and >> so yeah, yesterday we made a camera move. So we can confirm over the last 30 days that she's doing this with this camera, but then yesterday's and today's will definitively. >> So you just this camera is new? >> Yes, we put [snorts] it up there. So this has only been here for 24 hours now. Um but we have a video of her doing this on each occasion. So, $26,000 total. Let me go to yesterday. >> I don't know if you guys come to the store a lot, but this also isn't if you ever worked with the LP over here. >> Yeah. Yep. >> Um, he's on vacation. So, I'm from Jacksonville's from Brunswick. >> Oh, he's probably so happy he's here. >> Oh, he's probably >> He doesn't even know this is going on. We haven't called him. >> Oh, shoot. >> I told you going to get back. took vacation. >> Yeah, we moved all of his cameras and they come back and his office is just an overview cuz we didn't want to stand up. >> Okay. >> Cuz I ended up calling you guys cuz I worked with JBP before and under their jurisdiction, all employee theft, they have to get a warrant before they can even talk to somebody. So, I had to I called you guys to make sure you guys could actually come out here and do >> Oh, yeah. If you got proof of it, we can Yeah. I was like, I don't know what your jurisdiction does. >> Oh, yeah. >> So, she filters through, pulls all the big bills, puts them in a single bag. >> That wasn't very slick. Not at all. >> Big bills. >> Oh, no. >> There. >> Are you guys checking out today's? >> We're looking at yesterday's. >> Where do those bags come from? >> These are all from different registers. So, this >> Okay. So those are those are polls from a different register. >> Yes. According to the register >> she decides there's not enough bills there for her >> but she'll go through each bag >> and filter it. So then she transfers it into this bag which is registered. >> I can read it. 82 >> just pulling them into there. >> And then the old bag, put it inside this cardboard box right there. And then she'll leave us where I go to the bathroom. Let me get my cameras. >> That's the bag. >> When she grabbed the Y. >> So when she puts the bag right there, that's when she This is where you're going to watch it. Right here. She put on that box. >> Yeah. So, >> she >> So, the penny box is where she's going to stuff it. But now we're gonna You're going to see Thank God I got this camera. >> You'll see her. >> You worked really hard for God. >> You got to do it in like slowmo. Yeah. Here we go. >> You don't even need it in slowmo where the camera's at. >> Does she know those cameras there? >> Nope. It's a It's like in a fake fire detector. >> There goes that box. stuff away, baby. >> So, this is it. This is it for the for the rest of it. So, she's got it. Yeah. She only does one bag now. >> So, she learned go through all the bags in the beginning. So, she opens every bag when she starts and pulls it and then stuffs one. But yeah, so she's done for this until she walks out. >> Get my stuff in Chris's office. >> Um, >> if you want to grab Oh my gosh. There's a gift card. So, I found my gift card, a Starbucks gift card yesterday on the sales floor when I was vlogging. Um, I already have it bookmarked, too. She took it out of the lock box at the service desk. Tried to add it to her phone and just threw it at the trash. >> Where is it? It's up front of the service desk in the trash. >> In the trash? >> Yeah. Here, >> I made Chris take a picture of it. So, I >> bold. >> So, she just did it. She just rolled it up just now. >> She did. >> Yeah. So where did she put the [snorts] >> It's on her purse. >> Does she like go out to her car after? >> So she's a smoker. So we do have her vehicle yesterday morning, but the camera goes out because of smoke her car. >> I'm going to go and also pull the trash. I think we have video of it. So we walk into the trash can with gloves on, sealed with the trash bag, brought it in here, opened it on camera and confirmed that it was empty. Um, so we've got full ceiling in the box. She goes to the bathroom, >> puts [snorts] one in her purse, and then she goes out for a smoke break. >> So she goes out to her car. >> Okay. That's where she jumps in her car. >> Yeah. It's either in her car or she holds on to it for the day. But we can't So when she walks out right now, she's going to have her in that box. >> So yes, what we're going to do is >> just put it in the box. >> Yeah, it's in the box right now. That's what I'm saying. >> So she's going to leave cash office. >> We're going to let her go to the bathroom and we're going to let her throw it away. As soon as she throws it away, Target is going to pull her to do our interview. >> It's a whole process. It depends on how comp there. It's consual. >> Um, so my goal, I'm going to be interviewing her. My goal is to get her to admit to it. She might, she might not. >> Um, have a whole certification on how to get her to talk to it. So, we'll see. >> Um, we have our [laughter] ways. >> We have our way. >> Yeah, you guys have your ways. I have >> There's the bathroom. >> So, I'm going to get attempt to get her to admit to the fact. Um, she might admit, she might not. And then at the end of my conversation with her, we will terminate her employment. and then at that point we'll turn over to you. Um you guys are welcome to hang out in the office. I don't know if that's going to be a five minute conversation or an hour conversation. [snorts] Really depends on how long how much she wants to talk. She's also in the past gotten verbally argumentative and thrown a mouse at like a computer mouse at someone. >> Okay. >> So if she gets >> if she does that one, we'll just jump in on that. >> Yeah, for sure. >> That's enough. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Um but #charge. >> I know. I'm ready. She's like, "Go. Let's go." >> This is fun stuff. >> Dor. >> Well, once you once you go in there, someone will walk us to that journal. >> She just said she'll So, once you guys complete like all the video review talking through the case, you need to um >> I think we're good. >> They just watched it live. >> Yeah, she just did it live. So, >> okay, cool. Um >> Yeah. Do what you got to do. >> Give me a chance. >> Yeah. Yeah, I get No, I get I get she's like, "Yeah, let's do this." >> I like the energy. >> Thank you. >> How many USBs do we need of today's? Do you want I mean, >> we've got three copies. If we need more than >> Well, I need to do today's download. >> We'll probably just need to put it on. >> How far went back on? How much? >> We've got 30 days. Okay. If she admits to it, no matter what. I mean, between 20,000 and 100 is still the same degree of felony. So, >> either way. >> Either way. >> Yeah. I mean, she might all of it. >> Yeah. It should be beautiful. >> It'd be great. Yeah, >> it'd be really great. >> And then so we're going to let her throw that box away. So according to your chain of custody, do you guys need to go? Is it an empty trash bag right now? Because we just cleaned the trash out. Do you guys need to grab it? Do you want us to grab it and bag it up like we did yesterday? >> I'm not worried about that box that she used to put the money. >> Money bag into it as well. So she leaves the money bag and the box >> in the trash. >> So we'll we'll definitely pull it with gloves and bag it up. That's my >> record. If you all need it, you can take it. But, you know, I'm gonna have a witness in there who will be taking notes. We'll have a copy of that once the interview concludes. >> You said there's no video of the room. Okay. >> Um, there's no video. >> It's pineapples. >> She might yell at me. So, you might probably hear it. >> She won't.
