Brandi S. Givens, 24, of St. Louis, was charged with a Class C felony for stealing over $500 at the Brentwood Promenade Target store on Oct. 16, 2015.
According to police and court records, Givens removed the UPC price codes from items in the “dollar section” and placed them on other, more expensive items. She then took the merchandise to a checkout aisle. The merchandise — which should have come a total of $827 — rang up at a total of $26. Givens paid the reduced price and took the items out of the store but was apprehended by security guards. The merchandise was recovered.
Ha! This is a scam that my juvie friends andI perpetrated back in the 80s. Thing is, technology is so different now you can’t get away with it, especially at the scale she was trying. Stupid.
Don’t you feel shame for stealing?
