Why aren't other stores doing this?

Two women entered the Sunglass Hut on Cabot Drive in Corona on Nov. 15 with large empty bags and immediately began placing items in their bags without paying for them, according to an Instagram post from the Corona Police Department.

Sunglass Hut employees confronted the two thieves as they attempted to steal merchandise and eventually locked them inside the store.

Upon realizing they were locked in the store, the two suspects, identified as 25-year-old Tajonae Mondy of San Diego and 27-year-old Chavellia McMullen, began dumping the glasses on the ground, damaging most of them.

It was later discovered that the two had attempted to steal over $18,000 worth of products, the Corona Police Department said. Responding officers arrested Mondy and McMullen on charges of retail theft, grand theft, vandalism and conspiracy.

I’m sure there is some retarded law that will allow these criminals to file a lawsuit against the store and win.

Much better than when the employees just stand there videoing with their phone. As if anything is going to happen after thieves leave with stolen items.

Reminds me of morons filming carjacker driving a stolen car. Thanks those license plate numbers, they will be crucial to locating the driver inside the stolen car.

They were just trying to feed their babies. It was a crime of necessity.

I don't understand why more stores haven't come up with a way to lock the doors on thieves and just wait for the police to come get them.

Because if you're wrong or in the wrong jurisdiction, that's kidnapping.

It’s a slippery slope. While locking them in seems like a good, fun idea.

Unless the video shows them making a run for it, all they need to say is, they were just putting them in a bag as a Shopping bag. That’s their defense.

There's a really SIMPLE solution to all this high $ theft...i.e. all high end stores should require a picture ID to enter while live recording...no hoodies/masks allowed !

They should have learned that racist math so they would have only stole enough to avoid California prosecution

I like the action. But unless you are a sunglass hut with no customers, locking in actual patrons with some wild animals would be a very costly decision.

Employees will be fired. If they let them walk the store loses minimal amount but by locking them in they then decide to dump glasses and cause much more loss to the company. I applaud them but I’m sure corporate will see it differently.
