Be on your right side. You want me to go a little bit further? Park in front of them? Yeah, you go up a little bit. All right. You see them? If not, they went into this variety store right here. Yeah, I see them. Where are they? Have they come out empty-handed, just, I guess, other than make the U.E or if they walk toward you, then let them get a little bit closer, then we'll cuff them and then we'll probably like whoever bought that, uh, that, um, that the Thursday. All right, the first one's going to be New Jersey. Sierra 5-5. Papa, Bravo Golf, Honda, Honda, Shiovi. Second one's going to be Iowa. Oscar, Yankee, X-ray, 029. Nissan. Let's go on this gear right here in front of me. Yeah, they're walking in front of it. You want to just get hurt, we keep following them, or whatever the boss want? We'll follow. Just stop this girl right here. She's playing it in her truck now. Are you on the air? Stop the girl with the key. You can always grab by receiving or just grab the average back and then grab her for receiving from the property. As I see, there's a below from this morning, so we'll check that out. So if you want, you can stop her. She was excited and you stop those supplies. I have received. TV going on once in Mount on Myrtle. You see them. They're talking to a guy right there with a blue hat, blue dulae. Yeah, Berg, I think CCTV can show it down the block. The guy that sold that one to the girl in the green. There's, um, she's probably trying to sell it to her, but the other guy is walking down the block. We're going down in Boswick now, but there's a damn bus on the way. So, if you still have eyes on the other guy, let me know. Right now, I don't see him. Oh, wait, let me see, hold on. How about you? The guy with the two detergers in his hands will be on the left side. He should be wearing the yellow, yellow and dark colored hoodie with the atheist book bag, and the lime green or lime yellow sandals. The other guy. who sold the, who gave the one to the growing the green shirt. He's talking to somebody, and he said, like, in the middle of the block. Yeah, he didn't take it. He walked down. He's going to the store. They kept walking. We're still in the corner. I'm just waiting for the thing to pull off. We've pulled over. Do you think that guy from the bull was that Scott Mennel, Megan's X, or Megan's Man? I think it's a possibility from what I saw, yeah, the first guy was going to all black. Alright, we just got Ocean. I'm trying to see if I see him, still walking. It's a long block. But he might be trying to hit up one of these whole Davis around us. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think anything's coming as far as any walkroom shoplifting in the area as of now. So we can't lock him up for receiving. You can lock them off with his team. You know it's going to be stolen, you know he took that. Can't lock them up for the shop with as it now. Up now, Myrtle. I don't see that guy. Unless they went back up the block. Do you see anything you see? Passing Santos, address is 293 Old Berger Road Department number one. Thank you. You're welcome. It's like a backyard, like the driveway right here on Myrtlebird, if you look on CCTV. It's the first driveway to your left. They're there in the corner. They're like chilling. I don't know if you want to pull up on them or just let them walk out. Are you a piece of the drive or west of the drives? East, if you look on the cameras, we're going to be on the south side of the street. But they're on the west, I'm sorry, the north side of the street. And right by that, if you look, it's like a Hyundai, right next to the Hyundai and the left is that driveway, and that's where they're in. They're inside there right now. Looks like they're just hanging out, though. No, I have no coverage, so you're not going to have to. If you want to stop them, stop them, if not, keep it moving. I mean, at worst case, I would stop, I'm going to get an ID of who they are, and if something later comes on. We always know we've got something else with them, you know. Quick stop, I'm not going to hurt you. If you want to take the detergent. I mean, if we're going to take it, might as well charge them with the receiving. Just get them ID then. Let them keep it, get the IDs, look at it, check it, see if they have a receipt, and we'll take it from there. I understand, but if they don't have a receipt or anything, then I'll let you know. So Sergeant Wayne on Tyler told his lady that brought it. No, I think you're going to go stop them. If you guys stop them, just remember the receiving, it's under the amount, which is going to be, it's just a ticket. So you've got, we have to run them, and then if they come back negative, we'll get. I receive, but I'm actually for, um, the girl that brought it over here on, um, I'm okay. You guys stopped or no? Yeah, she's still here. I would just waning on T if you need to help or anything. But we still got high ground. Alright, just standby then. Where is she at? She's just like in the car or somewhere? Yeah, she's just here. She's in and out of the store. All right, just make sure you get that transfer at the very least and we'll see what they do when you stop. and the following will be last three 343, 345, 346, 347, 348, 348. I'm sorry, the very first one you gave me, that was 159, 328, or 348? 28. 28. So one, five, nine, three, two, eight, and then 343, 346, 347, 348. You got to receive. All right, and just the top, please.
