00:00:02
come Qui all right d so they got you on camera taking money from the register money where this is doah Hol a Walmart
00:00:11
employee who has just been accused of stealing hundreds of dollars from a cash register when she was confronted with
00:00:17
evidence she snapped BR don't touch me I got to get my but some employees have caused much
00:00:25
more harm than this like this manager who did not only steal money but also assaulted an
00:00:33
employee he hit me do or this man who posed as an employee and stole expensive products and attempted to escape the
00:00:42
cops but first let's start with the case of DOA who got caught red-handed stealing on security cameras on November
00:00:49
24th 2023 police were called at an Illinois Walmart where security staff caught an employee stealing cash from
00:00:56
the register for the first time when analyzing the footage you can see that dodg a slips her hand under the bills
00:01:01
and removes an extra bill each time she gets change for a customer she then gives the customer the correct change
00:01:06
but Palms the stolen Bill and slips it into her pocket if you look carefully you'll notice that the left bulge in her
00:01:12
vest starts to show a crease indicating that she's stacking up a sizable amount of cash in there she's obviously far too
00:01:19
comfortable doing this and may have been doing it for longer than security realized after the officers looked at
00:01:24
the surveillance evidence it was time to confront DOA come with me real quick please all right d so uh they got you on
00:01:36
camera basically taking money from the register putting in your pocket money where yeah they got you on
00:01:44
camera can I see for myself pictur I'm going to show you the pictures just to show there's a camera
00:01:52
like literally right I know I know that of course so here's the times that I guess you were taking in
00:02:00
the other days right the other days okay I can't see I see me putting taking money out
00:02:09
DOA argues that she can't see anything in the printed photo and maintains her innocence the security footage may be
00:02:15
somewhat unclear but it's easily enough to show exactly what she was doing still
00:02:20
it doesn't quite Dawn on her just how much trouble she is in but for the cops it's time to arrest the culprit and
00:02:27
that's when things get violent can remove your vest okay that's one my property so you can put that vest and uh
00:02:35
your ID and your work okay so y'all saying that I took something up child door we're not saying

00:03:55
realize the gravity of the situation fighter flight starts to kick in for DOA and she gets about as violent as she
00:04:01

00:04:07

00:05:33
officer being quite patient with Doja she doesn't take the hint and gets more aggressive injuring herself in the
00:05:39
process eventually they were able to deescalate the situation and medical staff arrived shortly after to treat
00:05:45
doa's injury she was then transported to the squad car and back to the station where she was charged with theft
00:05:51
resisting arrest and aggravated assault on a police officer but Doo wasn't as unpredictable as this next Thief who
00:05:58
tried a daring getaway in the worst place possible hey what are you doing Albuquerque Police received a call
00:06:08
earlier last month about a shoplifter caught by a Target employee trying to steal a pile of Xbox console 22-year-old
00:06:14
Curtis van had come up with an ingenious plan to walk into Target grab a selection of his favorite consoles and
00:06:20
walk out without anyone suspecting a thing he did it by pretending to be a Target employee and he managed to get
00:06:26
away on more than one occasion robbing three other stores until he was finally caught this is like
00:06:35
$1200 good check oh I did not I I just okay uh do you have an IDE on you it's in my truck
00:06:45
I SC to do you have any weapons on you no no I don't okay could you please sign up I just want to check for your weapons
00:06:52
yeah I can take out my as you probably noticed the shopping cart the police have confiscated is full of brand new
00:06:58
Xbox consoles costing thousands of dollars he was caught by their loss prevention officer who explains how
00:07:04
Curtis came to be in possession of a Target uniform in the first place his name is CJ he used to be a Target team
00:07:10
member at se Target he pushed out 11 gaming consoles out of our rear Rancho store a couple months ago so he imitates
00:07:16
that he's a Target team member gets Keys gains access to the locked case or the stock room he just left our rear Rancho
00:07:23
store and then came here he didn't get anything from them this morning but he was able to get someone to let him man
00:07:30
all those consoles there is what he selected he tried going out the entrance store where I stopped him I can show you
00:07:36
the that's from yesterday that's him walking out with it okay out of up town so I know he got
00:07:42
one I'll have to ask is that a PS4 PS PS5 okay and that was at the Uptown store yesterday he was driving a U-Haul
00:07:50
okay I'm going to talk to him sounds good my name is Officer you you're CJ right right is it short for anything
00:07:56
short for Chris Chris all right Chris so I'm going to read you your warnings okay
00:08:00
so just listen up for a second okay would you like to talk to me yes or no about about to just about the incident
00:08:07
while you're detained right now you don't want to talk to me something to talk about so go ahead and stand up okay
00:08:13
so you're going to be placed under arrest for felony level shoplifting okay shoplifting isn't the most serious of
00:08:19
charges unless you've stolen goods worth over $500 then it's a felony where you could
00:08:25
be looking at thousands of dollars in fines and even prison time he's been caught red-handed and there's plenty of
00:08:31
evidence to link him to the other thefts but Curtis doesn't want to cooperate and
00:08:35
chooses to say nothing at all good side I'll take a you want to use the restro or no yeah
00:08:47
all right man now that Curtis is in the police station you'd think his best option is to cooperate and surrender to
00:08:53
the inevitable but what he does next is bold and extremely stupid hey what you doing what are you doing what are you
00:09:10
doing stay here you need stay here man stay here you're not going all doors are L even if you get P
00:09:19
you're not going to get away from here no get on the ground I to CH you you cannot leave you put the chair down put
00:09:27
the chair down put hey you make this hard we make this easy yeah we don't want to do this
00:09:36
you're not going anywhere work with us man please work with us I just want to leave that's not you're not going
00:09:41
anywhere all the doors are locked we don't want to use Force you're on camera you're not free to leave it looks like
00:09:47
Curtis knows he's got nowhere to run as he barricades himself in the corner he isn't a major threat but he can cause
00:09:54
harm with those chairs so the officers have to play it safe and try and talk Curtis out of this crazy St off that
00:09:59
he'll never escape from let me specify a little bit more all right I'm not going
00:10:03
to let you hurt one of these officers all right look at your stance right now look what you're doing you obviously you
00:10:08
obviously are physically going to resist us and not go to jail I'm not going to let you hurt one of these officers all
00:10:13
right so what we're going to use I'm I'm actually going to specify what we're going to use we're going to use our
00:10:16
taser and it hurt again goes back to my point it hurts it hurts to happen you can do it come on
00:10:24
okay I'm again man I'm being 100% truthful with you cuz I'm not going to let you I'm not going to let an officer
00:10:29

00:11:01
bro after that frankly hilarious standoff officers were able to easily overpower Curtis and arrest him again he
00:11:08
was then put back in the squad car to be transported to the main station Curtis is yet to go to court but is facing
00:11:13
charges including felony shoplifting resisting arrest and Battery on police officers another case where surveillance
00:11:20
footage played a crucial part was in Florida where an altercation at a fast food restaurant between employees was
00:11:26
caught on camera we're are siblings we have to SA he hey CH chill fler police arrived at a fast food restaurant after
00:11:33
a 911 call about a man assaulting a woman the man shown wearing a dress and Bonnet is actually one of the managers
00:11:40
of the restaurant and he's angry after being accused of stealing over $1,500 from the register and the argument had
00:11:46
become so heated the police had to rush to the scene for real you hey baby I call the police I my youo stay right
00:11:54
here we're our civil we got to stay chill chill bro matter it matter to me come between me
00:12:03
and my family if that's how y this my actual s this is my actual biological sister
00:12:11
this how yall really just go in go in no it's about money and because this girl working on a fake name she told you the
00:12:19
alcohol on you about that you I got for y'all that is a fifi what's going on well first and
00:12:28
foremost the fight because she grabbed me okay all I did was hold it down a't no man against no woman I got a surgery
00:12:34
let's clear that up first the that she works under a fake name here I came up y we're arguing but the moment she swung
00:12:41
at me and you ripped my hair out my head bro I'm all I'm doing is holding you down trying to distract the officer by
00:12:45
accusing his workmate of using a fake name isn't going to take the heat off himself apart from the theft he's also
00:12:51
been accused of assault but he's claiming he was the one who was assaulted and the officer is about to
00:12:56
hear two different versions of the same story where was she at when the where were you sitting at he he came up in
00:13:02
here but he had already text saying he was on his way to her to fight her for what they've been it's it's a argument
00:13:09
or whatever whatever he got in his head boyfriend girlfriend no I don't I got to ask he don't want he need
00:13:16
to go to jail I'm hurt I don't need know this but he attacked her first so far it
00:13:20
seems like everyone involved in the incident are acquaintances of each other but the officer is justifiably confused
00:13:26
as they all try to explain their side of the story fortunately a impelling piece
00:13:29
of evidence emerges that will decisively reveal the true culprit this the first video it's three video it's when he
00:13:38
first came in here hold on that's when he first came in yeah okay the one with the pink they both
00:13:48
off no we not we come on at 4:00 we supposed to come on now but he came in here started
00:13:55
it see he went to hit me so when he hit me goodby when he hit Play One More Time see when he hit me that's when when
00:14:06
he uh when he was doing that did his finger touch your nose or it went look CAU me that's when he caught your eyes
00:14:11
he he caught his nail in me Meo one more time look so yeah it's kind of hard to see cuz it like you hit first but but
00:14:20
you got to watch kind of close like okay okay the officers now have all the evidence they need to apprehend the
00:14:27
perpetrator but luckily for them he also sent several text messages to staff at the restaurant telling them that he was
00:14:33
coming over to beat someone up giving the police plenty of probable cause but as the officer moved to make the arrest
00:14:38
the situation began to escalate on my driver Li I'm about to pass out but no and when the truth come out now you want
00:14:45
to first of all you got your kids up so don't talk about endangerment baby you run your record that's all you do they

00:15:51
God you're going to jail for battery criminal mischief and disorderly conduct inside of a restaurant and that's
00:15:58
exactly he was charged with along with an additional count of Grant Theft he was sentenced to probation for his
00:16:03
crimes but instead of staying out of trouble he committed a similar offense only 3 months later and was arrested
00:16:09
again unlike this next employee who was caught committing a bold theft on surveillance cameras on July 28th 2023
00:16:17
police at Logan Township New Jersey were dispatched to a Target store after an employee had been caught stealing
00:16:23
thousands of dollars of goods he works in the warehouse and has been helping himself with some of the most expensive
00:16:28
items on the shelves so what's going on so we had a team member uh about $4,000 worth of theft in the facility okay he
00:16:37
has admitted to theft sign a documentation just itemizing what he's over okay very Cooperative nice guy okay
00:16:45
um he's in the interview room right now with one of our uh security staff yeah uh they're the only two ones in there
00:16:52
right now okay I can give you the I automize list of everything that he yeah I'm going to
00:16:58
need that all right um my uh supervisor just showed up let me go tell him what we got and then if you want to get that
00:17:04
for us I'll be right back in okay I just talk to a security guy said the dude's an interview Cooperative he's signing an
00:17:11
itemized list of everything that he stole already it's about $4,000 wor the proper so I told him I'll come out let
00:17:19
let you know so at least we're in there but he's in the interview room and I I told him get me the list of everything
00:17:25
that he sold they charge I think they want charge I didn't ask the yet I told him to get the listed everything that
00:17:30
was taken first are you guys looking to get them charged for everything or okay I didn't know if you just want to
00:17:34
documentate it or if you guys were going to charge or you want us to go through the process is there any video or
00:17:41
anything of him taking items it is see yeah please Y video evidence will be key in getting a prosecution as the store
00:17:47
has chosen to press charges and the evidence speaks for itself we have this whole this is our like evidence thing
00:17:55
that we tracked so yep that's him that's him exent thing and then this is our evidence so iPads five of them Apple uh
00:18:05
watches 10 and then airpods 10 so this thing that he's driving is called an order picker is that him here or is this
00:18:12
him here this is him here okay and we purposely put our high value products back in this aisle and the other aisle
00:18:17
that we were just looking at so Theo is that like they'll just go up to it on their order Pickers in this case he'll
00:18:24
just he's supposed to be putting away product but like you see him take it and it goes missing in the time frame that
00:18:31
it's reported missing but still in location although the video doesn't clearly show the employee stealing the
00:18:37
products they do disappear after he picks them up to the untrained eye this looks like an employee casually going
00:18:43
about his work but with security measures in place they can tell he's clearly stealing after Gathering the
00:18:49
necessary evidence officers proceed to confront the culprit all right just need your badge and if you take your vest off
00:18:56
as well for me sir and if you can hold traffic coming this is this your back Sir there's nothing in here that's going
00:19:04
to hurt us no weapons all right and I just before before we move on with anything employment status terminated
00:19:16
not back not welcome back here all right you understand that if you do come back
00:19:19
here there are charges that all right so right now do me favor Turner hands on your back going to coming with us we'll
00:19:27
get this stuff taken care of get you out of here and then um depending on what ends up happening
00:19:32
from there we'll probably be able to get you back here get your car okay luckily
00:19:35
for the officers this employee is not as violent or aggressive as in the previous
00:19:39
cases he was quickly transported back to the station where he underwent processing and was charged for his crime
00:19:45
following this he was escorted back to the store to retrieve his car and before being released the arresting officer
00:19:50
offered him some valuable advice all right man for any reason if you have to come back here you got to go to the
00:19:55
station beforehand let us know we can always U indate some of the uh problems around it if for some reason this is
00:20:03
just me just talking to you okay you have any of those products that was taken if you want to return them usually
00:20:08
helps in the long run come to our station say Hey listen they know what's going on I'm not saying you do don't I'm
00:20:14
not saying you're guilty or innocent cuz we don't charge we don't do that that's
00:20:17
court but just letting you know okay man all right apprciate it no problem man you have a better one dude thank you I
00:20:22
wish we met on different yeah so do I always do I never meet people in good terms that's that's that's the problem
00:20:28
all right man you're welcome like a review you guys did you know are amazing usually we have Facebook offer messages
00:20:36
all right as well as losing his job he was charged with theft of movable property but last we heard his case is
00:20:43
still ongoing he wasn't clever enough to fool security unlike this next employee
00:20:47
who concocted a plan to steal thousands of dollars prompting a full-blown police
00:20:52
investigation what money came from the store just hund just hundreds not the tens inside
00:20:57
here on June 6th 2023 officers from the broard county sheriff's office responded
00:21:03
to a call at a nearby Walmart upon arrival the officers were greeted by two undercover employees who had suspicion
00:21:09
about a cashier who was reportedly stealing $1,000 per day from her register their initial investigation
00:21:14
found some evidence but over time more information was uncovered that proved this situation was far more serious than
00:21:20
anyone had initially realized s favor stand up for me so do you guys have um everything all
00:21:39
the information do you have the receip I have all the information well it wasn't
00:21:43
receipts really was Cash oh it was Cash okay how much how much cash is it um around 7,000 so I have 5,000 of it
00:21:52
documented but she admitted to the other so I'm going to go ahead and document that to them and I can send that to you
00:21:58
guys but she has a cash here somewhere she said it's SM somewh the smoke shop so
00:22:05
she took 1500 today so it's she said it's by the smoke shop so I don't know if it's by the smoke shop over there why
00:22:12
don't we ask her before we do so let's grab her I it's in the parking another store yeah the smoke shop
00:22:19
at9 something like that she stashed it there but that's not the only surprise in store for these officers as they
00:22:25
would later uncover that she had been orchestrating this operation AC across multiple Walmart stores siphoning tens
00:22:31
of thousands of dollars in the process you guys can't open it no we are we're asking you what money came from the
00:22:36
store just 100 just 100s not the T inside here how much 40 4,000 4000 on top of this higher charge
00:22:58
it's um it's 7,000 total that I found she might took when we did the [Music] audit the thief's employer explains that
00:23:13
an audit had been conducted earlier and that there had to be more money hidden away somewhere totaling up to
00:23:19
$115,000 so that's when the cops bring her into an interrogation room to try and figure out what she done with the
00:23:24
rest of the money and figure out exactly how she's stolen so much money in such an elaborate way you seemed like you're
00:23:31
disappointed very yeah I'm I was trying to get my life back in order so you're trying to
00:23:38
press fast forward on that getting life back together yes man is that exactly what happened exact what happens you do
00:23:46
know you worked for a really big Corporation [Music] right is there a reason why you were
00:23:55
like oh they're so big they won't know is that kind of the thought process I don't know honestly I was L just
00:24:00
trying to get my life back in order yeah just trying make it quicker than it was
00:24:08
supposed to the interrogation starts with the officer acting friendly and the girl reacting positively to it officers
00:24:14
and interrogations generally want to start things off in a calm manner when they don't have enough information she
00:24:19
may Begin by telling him the details about how she was trying to speed up the process of getting her life on track
00:24:24
giving the detective resources that may help back her into a corner later I knew
00:24:28
what a credit credit card was but I didn't know how it functioned so I played around with it I was young so I
00:24:35
didn't know which made me go into debt 21 years old in debt how much debt did you go into um I'm at $5,000 first time
00:24:46
you took money how much did you end up taken probably was 1,000 okay is it kind of like the same way you were doing it
00:24:52
today like where you kind of leave it underneath the register yeah is that exactly how it started or it was
00:24:58
something by the way no that's how I was started so you do it like on every shift yeah every shift she explains her
00:25:07
significant credit card debt to try and gain some sympathy and shed some light on her situation the officer is kind and
00:25:12
understanding once again it's all an act to extract as much information about the
00:25:16
Grand Theft operation she was running what did you end up doing with the other uh well if I do the math like every
00:25:24
other week do four or five so over the course of the month of May that puts you at like 10
00:25:30
grand um so what did you do with that then I also have T-Mobile I was paying I had a job remember I quit cuz I left my
00:25:39
parents house uhhuh so I was in debt with T-Mobile so you paid a couple Grand to T-Mobile what did you end up doing
00:25:47
with the rest of the money like did you pay rent did you help your mom out did you give it to your boyfriend what' you
00:25:53
do my mom how much did you end up giving it to her I don't remember how much I end up giving it asked you like hey
00:25:59
where you getting this from she did I was say Mommy I was say mom don't worry about it in an open and
00:26:05
shut case the officer has heard her explain her reasoning for the theft of $10,000 and possibly more but it was
00:26:11
clear with the amount that she had stolen in such a short time that she was very unlikely to stop even after she
00:26:17
paid off her debts after the interrogation the girl was arrested and charged for her crimes but her exact
00:26:22
conviction is unknown another eagley loss prevention officer was responsible for catching this next employee of
00:26:28
Walmart who had stolen thousands of dollars of goods and was caught completely off guard police were called
00:26:33
to Walmart on October 23rd 2023 where they found the suspect had already admitted her guilt and her history of
00:26:40
shoplifting but she also admitted to having some disturbing thoughts that might alarm the officers and changed the
00:26:45
nature of this arrest she finally admitted to everything that she has done she did admit that she also has I guess
00:26:54
previous um charget that you guys have done she also admitted that she's been homeless that her mom kicked her out and
00:27:02
that's the reason why she was stealing and she also admitted that she multiple times she tried
00:27:09
to so I just figed I'll let you know because this also might take her to that so my job is to inform you guys
00:27:19
about um thing CU I'm kind of like she's filing that out she oh she's doing a written statement yeah it sounds like
00:27:28
this employee is facing significant challenges in life but resorting to theft is never Justified however
00:27:34
empathizing with her is about to become considerably challenging as this next piece of information comes to light so
00:27:40
it is sitting at a little over $2,000 at the moment for when you first received it you said it was two watches and it
00:27:47
was these three items what is so iPad mini um Apple watch and Apple watch sport but this is
00:27:56
the total right now of everything that's been taken and do you have her on the camera taking
00:28:01
it oh yeah all that you got all the videos of everything there was a couple where she got the items and she'd stage
00:28:09
it back in all mine pickup sit it there until the end of her Ship by the end of the ship she'd run over there grab that
00:28:15
skip all all God makes my job so easier so she stole wine too she did she got wine uh she's got Corona rolls yeah well
00:28:27
it might have been somewhat understandable if she had been stealing food or other Essentials to survive
00:28:32
given her situation the fact that she was stealing wine and luxury items like Apple products while being homeless
00:28:38
makes her story less credible and difficult to empathize with nevertheless the officers now have all the evidence
00:28:44
they need to confront the culprit hello hello Carol yeah right here okay so I have a situation yeah that
00:28:58
good I am asking for [Music] forgiveness you wrote this and everything on here is true
00:29:13
okay despite being apologetic and taking responsibility for her actions it doesn't change the facts that she must
00:29:19
face the consequences she's accumulated over $2,000 in stolen goods which resulted in felony charges of Grand
00:29:26
Theft but she's not not as clueless as this next employee who was caught out with one of the oldest tricks in the
00:29:32
book when her boss planted money to see if it would go missing on June 26th 2021
00:29:38
a call was made to the Castleberry Florida Police Department by an employer who wanted to report an employee for
00:29:43
theft when the officers arrived the employer explained that she knew someone was stealing from her and was trying to
00:29:49
track them down by marking her bills and recording their serial numbers she would
00:29:53
then leave money in the cash register to see if it would go missing only to find
00:29:57
the Thief a seemingly clueless employee sporting a Gucci handbag so the first question is can you guess why we're here
00:30:05
um I was accused of stealing money at a party that was it all I was doing was trying to for a tampon I thought I
00:30:11
started my period And I had moved this girl's bag I only paid her back cuz I didn't want anything to happen I didn't
00:30:17
want it to be put on me because I'm not that kind of person I'm sorry who is the
00:30:21
Sheep was it your manager or no it was um a girl at the party that I guess she had messaged me and she said like I saw
00:30:32
you the one doing that but she said like either way I'm going to like put legal okay where was this party it was at um
00:30:40
like new way Event Center in Lake Mary Lake Mary okay well we appreciate it but that's not necessarily why we're here
00:30:48
today we're here because you're being accused of theft however the death is not in regards to that part it's in
00:30:55
regards to something that's happened here today ironically this girl isn't just facing accusations of stealing from
00:31:00
her workplace but believes the police are there for a separate incident where she was accused of stealing from someone
00:31:05
at a party she's unwittingly providing officers with additional information making their job easier so you have a
00:31:13
manager um who advised us that for not manager you have one of your other co-workers who advised us that they left
00:31:23
a certain amount of dollars very identifying marks on that and you were the only person in the
00:31:30
store okay so she also has the receipts of the opening of wind the drawer was open what exact time okay where we're at
00:31:39
right now is uh I can't I can't promise you anything but for me and I'm sure officer for same
00:31:49
thing honesty is the best policy okay so could you tell us anything about that I
00:31:55
did do it I'm having some issues with money right now um I just like bought off a new car
00:32:05
so it's I haven't been working lately um I will Adit to that so was it just today or has it been in the past it was
00:32:15
today and then I've done it in the past before but never like large amounts how much would you probably like that's want
00:32:22
you to the b 300 maybe was the most beforehand it's in my bed okay can I go do that yes sir once again experiencing
00:32:30
financial difficulties is never an excuse to steal and it becomes even more challenging to justify her actions
00:32:36
considering she had recently paid off a car and luxury handbag although she confesses to the theft she still thinks
00:32:42
it's minor and just isn't aware of how bad things are about to get press charges yes I do because I added it up
00:32:49
it's thousand that's been going on you're breaking my freaking heart I have a documentation in my car I wasn't
00:32:56
prepared to turn it over cuz I was was trying to rule it out but I'll show you what I Was preparing for my insurance
00:33:01
company okay let see it's it's well over what she has here I was hoping she would
00:33:06
show it all what you took this morning and you didn't so no I let not make it let's make it not contentious and where
00:33:13
was the other where was the other I I told him it was in that back pocket of my bag like which one the one with the
00:33:19
zipper right here yeah is that the rest of it from today or yes sir she put the she put the
00:33:27
[Music] photograph is this all from this business yes sir all righty what's your
00:33:33
name Yana all right y do me a favor stand up right now you're going to be placed
00:33:40
under AR rest with okay do me a favor lift your hands up the owner who didn't even think it was the girl in question
00:33:45
is bitterly disappointed in the situation it is clear that these two have worked for some time and the owner
00:33:50
even thought she was innocent before finding out the employee was arrested and put on probation for a year she must
00:33:56
also pay back $2,000 to the store she stole from however this next employee had a much more elaborate scheme and
00:34:03
managed to get away with stealing thousands of dollars for several months on September 14th 2022 officers from
00:34:09
Charlotte County were dispatched to investigate an incident at Plato's Closet upon arrival the manager informs
00:34:15
the officers that an employee had been conducting fraudulent transactions on the store's computer purchasing
00:34:20
non-existent items and pocketing the cash the scheme nearly went undetected until the manager noticed a significant
00:34:26
loss in earnings with all the necessary evidence gathered the police proceeded to interview the suspect I wanted to
00:34:33
talk to you cuz I have video surveillance about the past couple days while you've been working doing these
00:34:38
buys and you take these buys I see you on camera taking cash putting in your pants you want to tell me a little bit
00:34:44
about that uh yeah u i just been having some stuff that I don't want and uh most majority of it is yeah shouldn't be
00:34:59
taking money from her where is the stuff that you brought in cuz I've watched the
00:35:03
video surveillance and there you're not bring anything in the store you're not well the LA the last like probably like
00:35:09
I want to say two weeks ago I have been I I brought in a two purses and a pair of shoes for the rest of the part the
00:35:18
rest of the times I have it you say only twice is that am I correct only twice you brought in actual merchandise
00:35:27
swapped it out yes for the other the rest of the times you have done these transactions you
00:35:32
just scam the register yeah to think that there was a b yes okay how many times do you think you've done this in
00:35:39
the past year um here the girl is clearly reluctant to disclose the full truth she's aware of her wrongdoing and the
00:35:48
extent of the damage caused but she tries to appear as reasonable as possible to mitigate the consequences
00:35:53
however the officers investigating her have seen all the evidence and are asking question questions to probe her
00:35:58
honesty a tactic that shows just how untrustworthy she really is about this how much money do
00:36:07
you about I want to say a th how me a th I have all documentation I have paperwork dating back until January and
00:36:20
I see all the and it's totaling way more than $1,000 you're doing a couple hundred you're doing hundred and
00:36:27
something dollars day how much you take today was like 150 I think is that typically what
00:36:34
you're taking a day yeah i' say is it always over 100 that thing say yeah and would you say that you've done it at
00:36:41
least 20 times so it's over 100 you've done it B 20 times that's 2,000 right there and
00:36:49
that's a rough estimate right see what mean how that adds up where is this um I have it you're saving it you
00:36:56
have it yeah it's clear that this had been an ongoing scheme to the extent that the suspect struggles to recall the
00:37:02
frequency of her thefts from the store to prompt her memory and elicit further incriminating details one of the
00:37:08
officers gives her a rough ballpark estimate to get her thinking if I were to say
00:37:12
$166,000 would that be about what it is yeah do you think you have all that $16,000 yeah okay and what what's what's
00:37:25
going on why is it this do you have you ever been no I'm just living in a hard spot right
00:37:31
now I live with a roommate and I've been working with him for a while and and I feel
00:37:43
like I do so much you have your under PID yeah and I know that's not his fault um at all like I should probably
00:37:53
look for another job but it's like I feel bad for him like if I delete what do you think what
00:38:02
do you think will happen to him and he's sitting here going on now $166,000 it's not fair I shouldn't I
00:38:09
should not be doing that right I take full responsibility I whatever comes with that is it because he hasn't paid
00:38:17
you have you been paid oh I have I have I have been paid I know this makes me look like a stealer like I'm stealing
00:38:25
money like I'm that's like the most thing you could probably ever steal from somebody it probably makes me look bad
00:38:32
it makes me look that I steal things but I don't here she attempts to elicit sympathy from the officers citing her
00:38:38
challenging situation and claiming to be underpaid for her hard work as if that could justify Grand Theft she even
00:38:44
denies being a thief insisting that her actions were merely to make ends meet however the officers have heard enough
00:38:50
and it's time to conclude this matter talk to him to who she wants to say something to you
00:38:56
she wants to talk to you $166,000 you RI me off I could be doing good instead I'm
00:39:01
taking out a loan to survive because you stole $166,000 from me since January what did you want to say I'm
00:39:12
honestly just so sorry I mean I don't expect you to me I expect you to pay me back oh I I am I'm going to pay back I
00:39:21
don't expect you forgive [Music] me good to you nothing but good to you always treated you it's my number one it
00:39:29
was nothing against you it was my personal issues it was it was nothing towards you all right I'm going to grab
00:39:37
your bag you're just going to call me all right okay um do I have to go to the car I'm not
00:39:45
going to put you in handcuff we going to walk out we going to walk out the front
00:39:48
door okay okay the girl was charged with felony grand theft and ended up on a 5 years probation as well as being ordered
00:39:55
to pay back the $20,000 she stole but this next corrupt employee wasn't just caught on camera but also caught
00:40:02
red-handed in front of the cops while stealing I wasn't take that yes you were you put it all in the box and you were
00:40:08
leaving with it on November 11th 2021 Athens Clark County officers arrived at a Walmart store after security staff
00:40:15
discovered on surveillance cameras that an employee had been leaving her shifts with items that she didn't pay for
00:40:20
apparently it wasn't her first time either as she stole multiple items every single shift when the officer approached
00:40:27
the suspect he caught her red-handed in the very Act of theft do you have a receip for this
00:40:37
here that wasn't I wasn't take that yes you were you put it all in the box and you were
00:40:45
leaving with it no I wasn't going to take it I was going to go back so you've already taken
00:40:50
it past the register put this down for now I'm detective Franco with the Athens Clark County Police Department put your
00:40:56
hands behind your back being arrested for shoplifting at this time we're going to go to the office and
00:41:02
talk about this okay up front of the store was that you went out the door with it I was going to
00:41:13
go get my car you've done this several times we'll talk about it you put stuff in boxes like seven days in a row and
00:41:20
took it so we'll talk about it all in a minute Britney appears oblivious to the gravity of her situation and immediately
00:41:26
lies multip times about going to return the items she stole but she's about to be confronted with damning evidence that
00:41:32
she cannot deny she she's pulled video and said you didn't pay for any of that pH I paid on the online pay
00:41:40
thing okay I don't even know how you do that you got to take them to a register you can't you got to go to a register
00:41:46
what do you mean online pay there's no way to scan the app on your phone you got to go to register yeah you got to do
00:41:53
that to register okay let's just go to the next one now some of those boxes were empty okay promise every day that I
00:41:59
pull to have pictures here they are notempty well here's here's my problem if you did it today and you did the same
00:42:04
thing taking empty boxes out the other days none of those had the guy in automotive helped me put the the empty
00:42:10
boxes in my car the other day I don't know his name they were just empty boxes I swear now the bumper corn today yeah
00:42:17
no so when we watch back video we're not going to find you putting anything in these boxes I mean I don't think so
00:42:23
Britney keeps insisting that she didn't steal anything and claims she was is only taking empty boxes she even has an
00:42:29
alibi ready suggesting she planned this and that this was more than a spur of the- moment decision you know we're
00:42:35
going to go back and review video are we going to go back through video and find
00:42:40
you putting stuff in those boxes if you've done it more than once and you can see we have great video she's been
00:42:46
working on it of course they they haven't had time to review every video but all she has to do is sitting here if
00:42:51
she needs to and she can sit all day and review video are we going to find any more cases of you doing this the more
00:42:57
honest you are now the less hard is GNA be on because I don't want to let I don't want to have to take a whole bunch
00:43:03
of arrest warrants on you that you don't know about so you get pulled over with your kids in the car and get taken to
00:43:08
jail yeah I don't want to go to jail have you done this any other time besides today and yesterday the I know
00:43:15
the pillows I paid for how did you pay for the pillows I paid for them I put them back there and I paid
00:43:23
for them later where at a register cuz that's the only way so you walk through a register what's in this box
00:43:31
underneath that was yesterday what's in this box nothing that box is still in my
00:43:36
car there's nothing in there I swear to God where is it in your car cuz I just went and looked in your car in the trunk
00:43:42
oh so why are you taking a bunch of boxes cuz I was putting my Christmas stuff in after some more pressure from
00:43:48
the detective Britney starts to change her story and admits to taking some items without paying for them are you
00:43:54
stealing these for Christmas presents What's your deal why are you doing is what I'm getting at I'm just having a
00:43:59
hard time with my three kids but that doesn't make it right well I understand how old are your kids eight
00:44:07
six and four well here's what we're going to do okay okay you have somebody that can take care of your
00:44:13
kids um not really no you're going to have to all right call somebody cuz you're going to go to jail today cuz I
00:44:19
can't let somebody just get off who's been doing this every single day Britney was banned from the premises of the
00:44:24
Walmart for 2 years and was arrested for stealing from the store multiple times she was fired but was given leniency
00:44:30
because of her situation as a single mother despite her protest of Hard Times none of the items she stole seemed to
00:44:36
help her family unfortunately it's not known exactly what happened to Britney and her family but hopefully she used
00:44:42
this experience of being caught red-handed to learn and to give her family a better role model
