The suspect interacted with a customer service representative, who was purchasing an item but ended up not buying it. The shoplifter is described as wearing a backpack with the number 23, white slippers, and a cap. The store has footage of the theft, and the suspect is seen putting the wallet in his hand and then into his backpack. The store staff and police officers discuss the situation, with the shoplifter claiming he was looking for McDonald's and 7-Eleven, and that he is flying to India. The officers decide to search the suspect's belongings, and the shoplifter is confronted about the wallet.
🤔 Confusion Over a 'Free' Wallet
In the second paragraph, the shoplifter, who claims to be a student, insists that he was told the wallet came with a purchase as part of an offer. He argues that he did not intend to steal and that he was under the impression he could take the wallet for free because it was included with his purchase for his mother. The store staff denies this claim, stating that the shoplifter never paid for the wallet and that there was no such offer. The situation escalates as the shoplifter is questioned further about the wallet's whereabouts and his actions, with the police officers explaining the process of being detained for questioning.

Ultimately, the decision to prosecute is made, and the shoplifter is arrested for theft.

bucks
yeah you think they'll go through all
the trouble or just tossing you said
what do you think don't go through all
the trouble the da or just toss it him
in I mean that's not our decision to
make I mean I spoke to her and uh she
has kind of a thick accent too but she
said that he he was picking up wallets
and she was like do you want this wallet
and he was like no I just want to know
the price so he was picking up wild and
she was putting them back cuz he said no
I don't want it but then when she went
to the back to put it up that's when he
put the one in his backpack so and then
he he purchased a purse so when he was
checking out at no point did he mention
the wallet say can I have the wallet and
also they said she gift or anything
never came out of her mouth so I mean no
problem mean it's not our issue I mean
it's their issue they have have death so
I I was going to ask him if they would
take
pay he he says that he can he can buy it
oh well we can ask him if they if if
they want to do that way then we can do
that way cuz if not then again I'm not
trying to interject how you guys run
things here I'm just saying yeah we can
ask
he that's why I took the wallet that it
is on offer I should take it for my
[Music]
mom I was going back I wanted to gift
her took it paid her
$170 okay
hold
on so if they if they'll take payment
for it we can do that if not he going to
be arrested for it so
either okay so so was it a
misunderstanding when she told no she
said she never told him anything she
said she specifically he was picking up
wallets and she was like do you want
this he was like no I just want to know
the price so when he said that she went
to the back and put the wallet up and
that's when he put the wallet in his
back another wallet wallet that he
didn't even touch so she said when he
checked out he didn't mention anything
about a purse nothing about a gift
nothing canot have she said it never
came out of his mouth so one really
misunderstanding you know she made it
clear do you want this wallet he said no
and she went to the back and put it up
and that's when put it the back so our
options here obviously you have it back
um if you would want to take payment for
the wallet now if not he's going to be
