A SUSPECT has been arrested after allegedly being caught on camera trying to kidnap a four-year-old from his parents at Walmart.

Police were called to a store in Lehigh Acres, about 140 miles northwest of Miami, on December 29 for reports of an attempted kidnapping.

Pablo Pintueles Hernandez has been arrested and charged with false imprisonment of a child 13 years old and under

The arrest came after an incident was captured on surveillance cameras in a Walmart store

Hernandez walked out of the store after the incident

Pablo Pintueles Hernandez was arrested and charged with false imprisonment of a child 13 years old and under, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.

Walmart’s surveillance footage reviewed by cops revealed that Hernandez allegedly walked up to a boy in the store, grabbed him by the wrist, and forced him to walk away.

He allegedly told the boy: “Let’s go.”

But one of the child’s family members pulled him back.

Hernandez then exited the Walmart store.

Video of the incident was shared by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office on social media.

“What this criminal did is incredibly disturbing,” Lee County, Florida Sheriff Carmine Marceno said.

“I never want anyone in Lee County to feel unsafe, especially going on a simple shopping trip.

“My team will stop at NOTHING to ensure criminals like this face the consequences of their actions.”

Police were able to identify Hernandez quickly thanks to advanced technology.

“Utilizing the latest and greatest technology is key to solving crimes quickly and efficiently,” Marceno said.

“The teamwork displayed during this incident from our Communications, Patrol, Real Time Intelligence Center, and Major Crimes Unit is unmatched.

“Their dedication to the safety of our citizens is the reason why this man is behind bars, at the Marceno Motel.”

Still, parents in the community are unnerved by the incident.

Ariana Ferguson went shopping at the same Walmart store the very next day.

“It’s very scary because I come here all the time with my daughter,” Ferguson told local NBC affiliate WBBH.

“I am surprised because I’ve never heard of this happening. I’ve been living here for about three years.”

Ferguson wasn’t alone in feeling worried.

Another parent, Charles Swift, told the outlet that he was “shocked” by the incident.

“To even think about it I would freak out and tell parents, really watch your children these days,” Swift said.

‘It will blow your mind,’ says security expert defending Target and CVS ‘last resort’ of locking up everyday items | HKK3QA0 | 2024-01-03 01:53:36 https://ift.tt/FSG3jWZ

EXPERTS have revealed that rampant organized crime has led to retailers resorting to extreme anti-theft measures to stop thieves in their tracks.

Customers have been slamming stores like CVS and Target for locking up essential items to stop rampant theft.

Organized retail crime experts say locking up items is a last resort[/caption]

‘

However, according to experts, it has become a necessary step to protect products from crime.

“No retailer wants to lock up product,” Jason Brewer, executive vice president of the Retail Industry Leaders Association told San Francisco’s KQED.

“It is a last resort. But it’s only done when it’s impossible to keep a specific product on the shelf.”

Customers have been taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, over concerns about the anti-theft measure.

One person said: “My eye drops, and nose sprays are locked up. Like f**k I’m gonna talk to a stranger to open that lock. I had to wait like 5 minutes for someone to even come get me.”

Another person said: “This new locking up all the personal care items & having to wait for assistance to get an item is really more of a shopping deterrent than a theft deterrent. Killing the vibes honestly.”

According to Brewer, shoplifters have been targeting products that are easy to steal and resell.

“Right now, it’s way too easy to use a fake business address, made up a screen name, and essentially fence stolen product from an online marketplace,” he explained.

Organized retail crime involves groups of people reselling stolen items on a large scale.

Thieves can sell what they want online without sharing their identity with the public.

These crime groups could be organized on an interstate and international level, according to Brewer.

These groups have different jobs for everyone involved including people who steal, people who sell, and those who organize the plan of action, a federal report claimed.

Andre Godwin, an armed security guard has seen firsthand how advanced these crime groups have gotten.

While working at a retail shop, he would see shoplifters ask employees to unlock the items and they would simply walk out of the store.

Security guards like Godwin are not allowed to chase after the criminals, leaving the retailer powerless.

“I’ll get sued and lose my job,” he said.

Shoplifters are aware of this and often take advantage of the policy.

“Like I told you, we’re in a no-win situation.”

He has also explained that while working, he has even seen people taking advantage of self-checkout often only scanning a few items, or even scanning barcodes of smaller items while stealing more expensive products.

“It will blow your mind,” he said. “It just doesn’t stop.”

Organized retail crime has gone up 22% in the last year, according to crime experts.

“Retailers are seeing unprecedented levels of theft coupled with rampant crime in their stores, and the situation is only becoming more dire,” said David Johnston, National Retail Federation Vice President for Asset Protection and Retail Operations.

“Far beyond the financial impact of these crimes, the violence and concerns over safety continue to be the priority for all retailers, regardless of size or category.”

‘Makes it easy not to want to shop there’ Target shopper fumes after waiting 10 minutes under strict anti-theft measure | HKK3QA0 | 2024-01-03 01:53:36 https://ift.tt/FSG3jWZ

A TARGET shopper has blasted the popular chain’s anti-theft policy of locking items in cabinets.

The customer said that the measure is making it easy to shop at other outlets.

Target has come under fire over its anti-theft policies (stock)

Target has resorted to locking items in cabinets in a bid to clamp down on the scourge of shoplifting.

Sueski () said they were buying Lego for their grandkids but had to push a button on the case to grab a worker’s attention, per a post shared on X, formerly Twitter.

They fumed that they waited 10 minutes, claiming that a staffer didn’t help them.

The dismayed shopper claimed: “Talked to people at [the] customer service desk and they didn’t care.

“You are making it easy not to want to shop there anymore.”

Replying to the shopper, Target said: “We appreciate you for bringing this to our attention.

“We have documented your feedback, and will be sure to share it with the appropriate team so they can address your concerns.

“Have a great rest of the day, and Happy New Year.”

The U.S. Sun has approached Target for comment.

Locking items in cabinets is just one way Target tries to combat theft.

But, the measure has not been welcomed by all shoppers.

Slamming Target, consumer researcher Kurt Jetta said: “You can’t lock stuff up to prevent theft, and then not have a sales person anywhere within shouting distance to get it out.

“How many electronics and shaving sales have you lost because of that? Definitely lost a $300+ basket from me.”

Target apologized to Jetta for his experience in-store.

Shopper Sydney Burgmann claimed locking items in cabinets creates a happy shopping experience, per the CBS affiliate KIRO-TV.

Meanwhile, disgruntled shoppers have claimed the policy has turned shopping into a game of Where’s Waldo.

Cosmetics, razor blades, and mouthwash are among the items that have been locked behind a cabinet.

TikToker Shane () offered viewers a glimpse of inside a Target store in Washington.

He said: “They [are] locking up the toothpaste. What in the hell?”

Brian Cornell, the chain’s CEO, has claimed shoppers are thankful because of consistent supplies.

“And actually what we hear from the guests is a big thank you, because we are in stock with the brands that they need when they’re shopping in our stores,” he told CNBC.

“And because we’ve invested in team member labor in those aisles and make sure we’re there to greet that guest, open up those cases, and provide them the items they’re looking for.

“The fact that we’re in stock is what’s most important for the guests.”

Locking items in cabinets is not the only anti-theft policy Target has resorted to.

In October last year, the chain closed nine stores across the US.

Chiefs closed a store in Harlem, New York, two in Seattle, three in San Francisco/Oakland, and three in Portland.

Bosses said the decision to close the outlets was difficult.

“In this case, we cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance,” a spokesperson said.

Target revealed it has invested in cyber defense measures to combat shoplifting and training store associates and security so they can protect themselves.

‘Most brutal scenes,’ man who ‘stabbed grandma to death and hid body under carpet and lattice’ arrested after manhunt | HKK3QA0 | 2024-01-03 01:53:36 https://ift.tt/FSG3jWZ

A MANHUNT for an alleged murderer has ended after cops captured the man suspected of stabbing his grandmother and hiding her body in her yard.

Anthony Castleman from Huntington County, Indiana, was taken into custody on December 26, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Anthony Castleman, 37, is in custody following a manhunt for him as the prime suspect in the gruesome murder of his grandmother[/caption]

Bernice D. Eubank, 72, was found with multiple stab wounds and covered in carpet and lattice near a barn in her backyard[/caption]

The 37-year-old allegedly stabbed his grandmother, Bernice D. Eubank to death in her home where he was living at the time.

On November 12, deputies found the 72-year-old’s body near a barn under a carpet and pieces of lattice.

Eubank’s daughter called the cops after she had not heard from her mother for several days and then visited the home to find a rug with a piece cut out of it.

Investigators stated that the grandmother had been dead for “a period of time” before she was found, per a Law & Crime report.

Eubanks died as a result of multiple stab wounds for which Castleman was quickly determined as the suspect.

Citing an arrest report, local affiliate WTPA reported that Castleman allegedly visited his cousin the day before Eubank’s body was found to ask for bleach.

According to the documents, Castleman told his cousin it was to clean up a mess and that he was “going to prison for a long time.”

The investigation also revealed that he used his grandmother’s car and cell phone when visiting his cousin.

“In all my years of law enforcement, this may be one of the most brutal scenes I’ve ever seen or been part of,” Huntington County Sheriff Chris Newton told local CBS affiliate WANE.

“I think it kind of shook our own folks seeing something like that, especially when you realize it’s an elderly woman and the perpetrator in this was her own grandson.”

A press release revealed that a manhunt was launched after cops could not locate Castleman.

“Throughout the early part of the investigation, officers learned that he had fled Huntington County and trying to get out of the state,” the agency said in a press release.

According to investigators, they spoke to Castleman on November 12 after they found Eubank’s body, and he allegedly told them that he was in Lexington, Kentucky.

Wanted posters of Castleman were posted around the state of Indiana in a bid to locate him.

Law enforcement then had to fight misinformation about the suspect’s vehicle on social media during the search.

Following a six-week manhunt, Castleman was apprehended by US Marshals in Georiga, according to an update from the Huntington County Sheriff’s Office.

An official press release is expected over the coming days.

No motive for the homicide has been released.

According to her obituary, Eubank stated that she is survived by her two children and stepson, seven grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren.

‘Most hated mom in America’ Casey Anthony’s parents take lie detector test to clear names in death of her daughter | HKK3QA0 | 2024-01-03 01:53:36 https://ift.tt/FSG3jWZ

Once dubbed the most hated mom in America, Casey was accused of the 2008

CASEY Anthony’s parents have taken a lie detector test to clear their names in the death of their granddaughter, Caylee.

Once dubbed the most hated mom in America, Casey was accused of the 2008 murder of her two-year-old daughter, whose body was found in a swamp.

Caylee Anthony went missing from Orlando, Florida in June 2008

Her mom, Casey Anthony, was charged and then acquitted in Caylee’s murder

Casey’s lawyers accused her dad George Anthony of being involved in Caylee’s death, and he has now taken a lie detector test to prove his innocence in the case

Casey’s mom Cindy Anthony also took a polygraph test for the A&E special

The young girl was last seen alive leaving her grandparents’ Orlando, Florida home with Casey on June 16, 2008.

But Caylee wasn’t reported missing for a month.

Casey’s parents, Cindy and George, realized something was wrong when they received a notice that their daughter’s car had been impounded and they hadn’t seen Caylee in 31 days.

Cindy told a 911 operator that July: “There is something wrong. I found my daughter’s car today, and it smells like there’s been a dead body in the damn car.”

Casey told police that she also hadn’t seen Caylee in a month.

She initially blamed the toddler’s disappearance on a nanny who, investigators later learned, had never even met the Anthony family.

Caylee’s remains were found in December 2008 in a swampy, wooded area near Casey’s home.

Casey was charged with first-degree murder but was acquitted at trial in 2011.

In a 2022 documentary on Peacock called Casey Anthony: Where The Truth Lies, Casey accused her parents of being involved in Caylee’s death.

‘I HAD ONE JOB’

Now, Cindy and George Anthony have taken a lie detector test hoping to clear the air.

The test was part of a new special called Casey Anthony’s Parents: The Lie Detector Test, set to debut on A&E on January 4.

A retired FBI agent posed questions to the parents about their relationships with Casey and Caylee.

The polygraph test was done entirely on camera, with Cindy and George reacting to one another’s answers and the results.

At one point, according to a preview for the special, George is asked: “Did you knowingly conceal Caylee’s whereabouts?”

The couple is also asked if their marriage is going to survive.

George was also asked if he “ever had sexual contact with Casey” after she accused him of such in the 2022 documentary and at her murder trial.

“I know what he did to me — and that was my fear,” Casey said in the documentary.

“I had one job — to keep her safe,” she said of Caylee.

“I failed her again and again and again, because I still protected the person who hurt me.”

George has denied the allegations hurled at him by Casey.

He told The Messenger hours before taking the test: “It will prove, number one, I never assaulted or hurt my daughter in any way, and I certainly didn’t do anything to my granddaughter.”

“I did everything that I possibly could.”

But the results of the lie detector test haven’t yet been revealed by A&E.

‘SHE KNOWS THE TRUTH’

Meanwhile, Casey has refused to take a polygraph test despite being approached by multiple TV networks.

A source told The Messenger that Casey “doesn’t give a s**t” about her parents taking a test.

“She says she knows the truth, and so do her parents,” the source told The Messenger.

“A polygraph won’t change the truth.”

An ex-friend of Casey’s previously told The U.S. Sun that the young mother was primed with excuses during the month when Caylee was missing.

At the time, Casey was living with her boyfriend, Tony Lazzaro, and his three roommates.

Cameron Campana was one of those roommates.

Campana told The U.S. Sun that Casey “had an excuse right off the bat” when she was asked why the roommates hadn’t seen Caylee.

“She’d be like: ‘Oh, yeah, her and the nanny are going to Universal [Studios] this week, then they’re going to Epcot one day, and the Magic Kingdom another day.

“And it was believable, it wasn’t like she had to think about it or whatever,” he added.

“There was nothing that would make us be like: ‘Is there something weird going on here?'”

Casey Anthony’s Parents: The Lie Detector Test premieres on January 4 at 9 pm ET.

A CITIBANK user has been left in financial ruins after his bank account was drained by scammers.

Scott Jacobson from Illinois, said he was left in a financially difficult position after he lost $120,000 through wire payments he said he did not make or approve of.

A Citibank customer claims to have been left in financial ruins after scammers drained his sisters trust account for her care[/caption]

‘’’

Scott Jacobson is his sister Lauries primary caregiver but after being a victim of a scam he is now struggling to cope and has been forced to take Citibank to court[/caption]

’

The Skokie resident said the account was a trust that his late mother left to Scott to help take care of his sister Laurie who has Alzheimer’s disease.

Before she died, “she said, ‘Please take care of Laurie,'” Jacobson told local NBC news affiliate WMAQ-TV.

As his sister’s primary caregiver, it is Jacobson’s responsibility to ensure that Laurie is cared for, a role which is aided by a trust account left by their mother.

However, two years after she passed, the trust account was drained of most of its money despite Jacobson never having used it.

“We’ve never touched her account at all. Never at all,” Jacobson explained.

“Up until October 14, 2021, when everything occurred.”

It was on this day that Jacobson went to an ATM to check the bank balance which should have been around $150,000.

Instead, he found that it contained around $30,000.

“I was like in complete shock and shaking,” he said.

“I was shaking because I was more concerned about my sister than I was about anything else.

“I showed the teller my slip and I said, ‘Can you please tell me what this was all about?’

“She looked at it and says, ‘You have three international wire transfers from Bangkok, Thailand,’” said Jacobson.

However, Jacobson said that he never approved the transfers and was not notified of them.

The discovery of the scam was purely by fluke and luckily it was just one day after the last fraudulent transfer.

Jacobson promptly filed three fraud affidavits with Citibank but was shocked when their response was simply to lawyer up.

“I had a personal banker, and I went in there and I asked him about all this.

“He says, ‘Well, you’re gonna have to get attorneys,'” said Jacobson.

He hired James Bonebrake who is representing Jacobson in a lawsuit against Citibank and shares his client’s frustration at the situation.

“What the heck happened? He’d never even known what a wire transfer was,” the attorney told the news outlet.

“You would think that they would want to preserve, that you would think they would want to get down to the bottom of the fraud, not only for Scott’s sake but for the sake of across the board their entire clientele.

“And this is what really, really puzzles me and frankly, upsets me as a lawyer.”

A follow-up letter sent to Jacobson by the bank following his fraud claim shows Citibank admitting that they did not call Jacobson for approval for the transfers but that they did send him text messages and emails.

However, Bonebrake revealed that despite requesting copies of these from the bank, “We’ve never seen the email” and no texts have been shown either.

Court documents show that Citibank uses a third party to send text messages and emails and that copies of these are deleted after 60 days unless the company is instructed otherwise by the bank.

According to Citibank, “Jacobson, through counsel, first made demand on Citibank to repay the three wire amounts on Aug. 29, 2022.

“By that time, [the third party vendor] had already deleted the emails and text messages sent to Jacobson.”

Citibank added in court documents that it is “in compliance with all regulations regarding wire transfers.”

In a statement to the news outlet, Citibank said: “We have a great deal of sympathy for those who fall victim to fraud, and we take these matters very seriously.

“Our team has thoroughly reviewed this claim, and I’m afraid we’re unable to comment while there’s pending litigation on this matter.

“We encourage customers to visit citi.com/fraudprevention for information on the latest scams and tools to help customers stay safe.”

According to Jacobson, the ordeal has left his family “in financial ruins,” after he was forced to cut Laurie’s caregiver’s hours and has had his home foreclosed.

He warned others: “You have to have to look at your finances. Make sure that you know what’s happening with them.”

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Citibank and Jacobson’s attorney for an update.

‘Setting you up to fail,’ Walmart customer says he’s done with self-checkout as stores turn into ‘giant vending machine’ | HKK3QA0 | 2024-01-03 01:53:36 https://ift.tt/FSG3jWZ

Customers have long expressed their frustration with stores like Walmart turning exclusively to

A WALMART shopper has said he refuses to use self-checkout after declaring that new policies turn the store into a giant vending machine.

Customers have long expressed their frustration with stores like Walmart turning exclusively to self-checkout instead of employing traditional cashiers.

A YouTuber shared why he no longer uses self-checkout at Walmart[/caption]

He told the story of a woman who was charged with petty theft after forgetting to scan an item[/caption]

Some feel that they’re working for the store by having to scan and bag their own items while others fear the possibility of being arrested for forgetting to scan something.

A YouTuber known as The TEC Show, hosted by David Clark, has more than 261,000 subscribers.

He shared a video explaining why he no longer uses self-checkout machines.

“I want to get the word out when it comes to self-checkout,” said Clark. “There are a lot of nightmares when it comes to self-checkout.”

He shared a story of a 60-year-old woman who was arrested for petty theft after forgetting to scan an item at the machine.

The woman, who did not want to be named, said she was shopping at a Walmart in Arizona and forgot to scan a few items at checkout.

“Out of the shadows, two women just jumped out at me and grabbed the cart and ushered me all the way back across the store into a tiny little interrogation room,” she told local ABC affiliate KGUN.

“They told me I was being arrested for shoplifting and I was in complete and total shock because I had absolutely no knowledge let alone the intention of not paying for my items.”

The woman was given a petty theft citation for the incident, adding that she was held in the room for about an hour and a half while the sheriff was called.

Because the unscanned goods totaled over $30, the police said they had to arrest her.

“I’ve never been arrested in my life and I’m in my 60s,” she said. “They were just very rude and inconsiderate and I kept asking them to explain things because I didn’t understand what was going on.”

In a statement, Walmart said it takes basic measures to control inventory and keep prices low like other retailers.

“For obvious security reasons, we don’t discuss specific store policies. When necessary, we reach out to law enforcement as part of our commitment to meet our customers’ and associates’ expectations of a safe and enjoyable shopping experience,” the statement read.

After retelling the story, Clark explained that he had a similar experience recently where he was using self-checkout to scan four items.

Two of the items were the same and he scanned them separately, however, only one of them was recorded.

“Now, I didn’t know this but luckily, there was a lady that was standing there, one of the employees…and she said ‘Oh, the last one didn’t scan let me go ahead and scan it again.’

“And so it can very easily happen,” he said.

Clark admitted that there are people who intend to steal while using self-checkout but said there are more people who “fall through the cracks.”

He also mentioned that more stores are requiring receipt checks because customers are using self-checkout.

“What does the store do? The store’s only real responsibility is having food on the shelves,” he said.

“I mean, this is giant a giant vending machine when you think about it because you’re doing everything else.

“They’re setting you up to fail.”

The video received more than 9,000 views and had more than 150 comments.

“Instead of paying for security to monitor us at self-checkout, how about HIRING another cashier to ring us out instead,” wrote one person.

“I don’t use self-checkout because they are turning customers into free labor,” wrote another person.

A third person wrote: “Thank you, I have been saying this since self-checkout started, I never use it and never will!”

However, others had a more positive experience with self-checkout and said they prefer it over traditional cashiers.

“I like the idea of self-checkouts,” wrote one person. “Don’t have to wait through the long lines.”

“I always use self-checkout. It’s up to you to make sure you have scanned your items,” wrote another person.

In a TikTok video shared by user Richie Hustles (), a woman is seen hastily leaving Walmart with a cart of items.

As she neared the exit, a store employee grabbed her cart, demanding proof of receipt.

The customer starts to yell, “Excuse me,” at the employee, who refuses to let the woman pass without adhering to the receipt-checking procedure.

Rather than giving in to the employee’s aggressive behavior, the customer yanked the cart from her grasp and continued to the exit.

The video has been viewed more than 9,000 times.

Some users praised the customer for refusing to show her receipt.

“At that point, I’d just turn the cart over and walk out,” commented a user.

“Oh, forget that. Unlawful detainment – lawsuit,” said another.

“There’s no sign up upon entrance stating it’s required. Test me,” said a third.

“If the cops were there, an arrest warrant would be handed out,” chimed another.

However, others warn customers should show their receipts to avoid escalating the situation.

“Show the damn receipt!!!” commented a user.

“What’s the problem showing a receipt?? Lots of shoplifting going on these days. Merchants and honest shoppers have to pay for this s**t!” commented a user.

“She’s stealing!” said another.

“Show the damn receipt!!!” chimed a third.

Meanwhile, a content creator is being praised for his response to Walmart employees who demand to see his receipt.

And lawyers have warned that Walmart shoppers can refuse to hand over their receipts when exiting the store.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Walmart for comment.
