People can only get away with shoplifting for so long

Especially when they keep hitting the same business!

Check out how a gang of teenage girls finally got caught after they kept going after the same store.

Start now!

So organized shoplifting is a thing.

“During the last weeks of working at my first retail job, my boss busted a group of teenage girls shoplifting.

The cameras in our store had quite a few blind-spots, and the shoplifters knew them well. My boss had made it his personal mission to bust this band of thieves; he finally managed to catch them on camera during my last week working.

Our cast today:

The ringleader, 15, used to be best friends with my younger sister, stopped due to her being a “*****”, as per my sister

The ringleader’s girlfriend, 16

2 other girls who I can remember, but both were 13.

My sister’s boyfriend’s sister, 14

My boss, Ryan, 60-ish

Myself, age 18

There was some commotion.

So, while working a shift stocking shelves at the store, I hear something going on in the front of the store. I go to check it out, and the police have arrived.

Only two of the girls are up there when I was called up, the ringleader and the GF. The other three ran, and the sister’s bf’s sis was brought in later.

Ryan tells me to grab a basket and to put everything the police find on them in there. I ended up filling a basket full for each one of the shoplifters. The list of things we found for just the three girls:

This was quite a haul!

A grand total of 48 bracelets, 4 necklaces, and one hairband that had been slipped down from their pants into their boots.

3 candy bars each

2 packs of mechanical pencils

5 Kool-Aid liquid flavorers

And one hair straightener, still in the big, bulky box (it was stuffed inside of a jacket)

Unfortunately, my shift ended while this was going on, so I have no idea what charges were pressed against the girls.

All I know is that they were banned, and my boss kept on giving my sis’s bf’s mom the stink eye. I quit that job, and moved elsewhere about a week later (family issues).”

And this is what Reddit users had to say about this.
