Rancho Cucamonga Shoplifting $962.44 in Items, RISE Program

About This Case Summary Briefly: Client caught shoplifting $962 in items from Macy’s in Victoria Gardens Mall in Rancho Cucamonga. She explains to loss prevention that did so to support her sister in Nigeria. Case resolved for diversion through RISE program and no conviction.
Our client, age 42, went into the Macy’s at the Victoria Gardens mall in Rancho Cucamonga. She was recognized by loss prevention officers, allegedly for being suspected of shoplifting weeks earlier, but was not stopped at that time. Now she was back in the store and loss prevention recognized her, so they watched her closely.
As loss prevention suspected, our client was indeed observed placing two handbags in a Macy’s bag, as well as five clothing items. Loss prevention then observed her exit the store, walking past the cash register “check out” area. Our client was stopped about five steps outside the store and taken back into the store’s loss prevention office, where the stolen items were inventoried.
The items were valued at $962.44. Loss prevention accused our client of stealing from Macy’s in the past. Our client responded, explaining that she would send the items to her sister in Nigeria, who would then sell the items to simply survive. In a way, the police report seemed to suggest that our client admitted to stealing regularly from Macy’s, but it did not state this in so many words.
