This is beyond simple shoplifting. She needs to spend years in jail.
Decades
AND LOSE ALL FUTURE BENIFITS ELIGIBILITY
Agreed
Why waste tax dollars? JUST DEPORT THEM!
Decades in prison.
Arguing that she has “strong ties to the community”??? What a joke!!!
All her baby-daddies are in local jails so she has strong ties to the community
With other scammers, shoplifters, etc...maybe....😅😅😅
Idk I think she has strong ties to the local 🦍🦍 community
Yes...all the crimes are in that neighborhood.
She has strong ties to the community's shopping centers, that's for sure.
I wish they would put all of them in jail. NOT probation. NOT house arrest with an anklet. JAIL! IN EVERY city across the nation. JAIL. NOT probation.
Female privilege law is soft on women's as we feel bad.
They need to do time fit for the felonies! She has strong ties to organized crime😅
That’s right. This all has to stop. And she has a child ? Bet she’s on welfare. Obviously she doesn’t care at all about that child.
this is racists and Islamophobic! How do you expect people in the community to make a living? l bet these young democrat entrepreneurs have about 20 childrens between them that they need to support
@@Destiny-xk6oqI lived on it because I was waiting for disability pension to clear. Not everyone is an a hole. 😢 I am disabled on disability pension. Got to eat and pay rent too. I used to work but my health got worse over the years. 63 now, I am totally alone and live on $1110 a month to live, b4 anything. Even rent. Do not assume everyone us a loser or worse lazy. 😢🇨🇦🙋🏻♀️
This is not shoplifting. This is second degree ROBBERY. Nobody in that store would confront these thieves due to fear of retaliation with grave consequences
If the employers tried to stop them, this women would have just come back after closing hours and threw a brick into the windows.. it's sick, the mentality of those people
Guardian Angles of 1973 can do good...
LLL employees would be fired for stopping thieves.... Absurd company policies and even more ridiculous laws that pretty much promote theft with impunity.
Health issues prevent the mother from being charged? REALLY? WTF
Yet she was healthy enough to go to court and testify to get her daughter released.
That's WA State for ya.
She was healthy enough to lift 50lbs of goods and walk fast enough to get away.... But she SAYS she's sick?? She can be such and die in prison, it was her choice to do that
I think she was still charged, just not jailed for health reasons
Not jailed for HEALTH reasons!!!?
She has strong ties to the community!.. Which community? Organized crime community?
the community that sucks the most of all
Lol
the one with tents. same situation in Europe & western nations. Come in name of asylum and most of them gives riots and such things. Sorry but hard fact
🤣😆
NO RESPECT for RULE of LAW...perhaps if our laws do not protect the public and private sector, organized groups, the "Guardian Angles" in 1973...take these thieves out of circulation
Is that mom serious? Not only is she a terrible mom for getting her daughter into a life of crime but to say she she should be freed because she has a child is a joke. She committed the crime knowing she had a child and didn’t care. Also, these are repeat offenders. There should be no bail. Send them to jail for a couple of years and take those kids away. Maybe after that they’ll stop.
The sheer AUDACITY 🤬🤬🤬 They ALL deserve Federal charges!!!
Best part was when the judge didn’t lower the bail.
Another amazing part to this story! A firm judge?
Give it a couple weeks
Why even allow bail in this case lol
Yeh. In NYC they are nice to thieves.
Damn straight!
It was just a property crime her mother said, I’d raise the bail to 500,000 and give her 15 to 20 years !
This
Yup
Mother part of the problem
OH YES!
That shawl sure comes helpful. She's with those criminals who acted sick and there she was bright and healthy, yet covered up 😮😂
The mother should be charged !
About time, a judge actually doing something
If she's healthy enough to speak up for her daughter, she's healthy enough to speak up for herself while going to jail.
Healthy enough to steal 😮
They could've gotten a job. Her mom was wearing designer glasses while pleading in court.
Yes, she was able to appear in court for her daughter just fine.

That mother is just a complete failure.
The mother is the accomplice
And so typical
100%
The mother is the ring leader and chief operations officer.
😂😂
health reasons....those health issues did not stop her from stealing....and having a child did not stop the daughter from stealing!! Excuses, excuses!
Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law!!!
Another parent that needs to be held accountable along with their offspring.
I'm black and I can say, America better wake up and start hauling parents along with their terrible children. Ghetto people only learn in the harshest ways, going soft on them just encourage them.
Question is do the parents even know? So how can they be held accountable with such nature if they don’t even know?
@@jayjaymejia4149would you notice if your son/daughter was bringing home tons of clothing items with no receipts? The mother could have been just as complicit and could have worn some of the clothing too… you never know what these investigations will turn up.
@@jayjaymejia4149 Ignorance is not an excuse.
@@Mike-tc8obright but why blame parents for EVERYTHING our Children do…🤦🏻♀️ Remember once our Children close the door behind them we really don’t know who they are. Peer pressure and Social Media plays a huge role in this as well!
Shoot I mean if ADULT as in Parents get influenced by Social Media you think the kiddos won’t ( kiddos is all ages to me)

Family owned Business.
It really pisses me off when people keep doing this over and over! Keep them locked up! 🤬
Curious. You ever take a cookie as a child without asking? That is stealing. Maybe borrowed a thing off someone? Ever lied? Should you be trusted? Why would anyone hire a liar? See the problem? It is saying this is ok but suddenly not ok if isn't us. How much is a socially accepted thing is the problem. Nobody is immune to thus self entitled behaviour. Esp in God's eyes. Not preaching just fyi. It starts in upbringing.😊🧏🇨🇦 Stealing is stealing. Cookies off the plate at grandma's. A smoke out if dad's pouch. A blouse off a sister or pal. No dif. 🤷No disrespect btw. I just find it comical people think they are not as irresponsible as these people. Just less so.Taking us stealing if not ok by the person we take off of. Upbringing in families determine later actions in life. Saying one action is ok, because one did it in their family. Ironic. A pal it f mine let her pal steal a french fry off my plate. I caught her do it again though and slapped her hand. I said did I say you could help yourself to my paid food? They laughed at me. Stealing is just that. You stole from me. It is not ok. Not the value of the item but morally ethically.
Officer Seth did an amazing job reporting on this incident
Thorough, professional and honest 😍
Trying to use the woman’s child as an excuse for her not to be locked up is straight comedy.
Always
Of course, at the same time Mom and a Grandma teach the child how to act just like them.
Exactly. As if the men in jail don’t have kids.
It's sad, not funny.
It works. I had an employee steal a prescription pad and forge my signature to get thousands of percocets. She used and sold them for over a year before the state cops caught her. Her boyfriend got jail time for his part, but she did not because she had a young teen child to care for.
They’re not going hungry that’s for sure.
Maybe she just 'big boned'.
Call them what you will, but don't ever call them late for dinner... 😆
Well lulu's have a high value.
They stole “active wear” 😂
Big backs
Why am I not surprised when I see the pictures?
Same.
Yup. Not surprising. And they’re so victimized. Yeah right.
I was
Finally a good judge
Oh well, excuses excuses. She should have thought about her child before she satrted stealing
She’s been getting away with this for months and yrs. This was her career.
Truth!!
Facts
She should've thought about quitting stealing before she had a child*
@@KeithCarterEOG She should have stolen some condoms.
"She has a child that she's the sole provider of." Then she should have thought about that before doing the crime! Sickening!
How can these people just walk out unchallenged
They should all be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. How the mother wasn't held because of "health" issues....seriously?
One of the thieves has strong ties to the community by fencing stolen merchandise.
Al Capone had strong ties to the community as well.
@hardwired4548 al capone is dead. This is normal is every major city in the US. It's 2024. Get with the times, loser.
exactly... stealing from places just to resell it again and live a high end lifestyle in that community
I could not believe the lawyer saying that the offender should be out of jail until court date because of strong ties to the community. WTF
Practically a woman of the cloth.
“She’s the sole provider “ tuh. Sit down lady. Getting gov benefits and stealing from stores. The nerve.
Ty! You read my mind
Too infuriating for words! this is why we seniors who worked hard and lived honest all our lives have to pay higher prices all the time to cover the costs of these criminals 😔😔😔
@@Ourladyrulesthe same seniors as in those sitting on Capitol Hill that are telling us younger people that we'll have no social security when we become seniors even though taxes are being taken out of every check?
Yeah I am sure she reports all income from her illicit sales too. She has an IRS problem also.
"Punchy" 🤣
Shocker. They look like such classy citizens.
Define classy.
The judge should have immediately made an appointment for a court date for mummy.
She was obviously well enough to attend.
Prison at least 15 years no parole or any other breaks!! Thank you Judge!
Labor camp, not just prison.
"strong ties to the community" = clearing stores totally out.. Well.. you should deny bail..
it's unbelievable the audacity of these crooks!
“She has a child and that’s the way she WORKS to feed the child” apparently…what a great example!
Both, Mother (Advocate) and Daughter should be in jail
It's her own actions that put her in jail. She wasn't thinking about her child. Now the court has to allow her to get away with theft because she has a child .. completely insane. Give them some real jail time.
Bet money she's on welfare and SNAP and is a professional fraudster.
Excuses excuses never fails.
They need to do the same bills that Florda is passing, if they really want to clean this mess up. 30 years in jail for repeat offenders.
Put them all in jail!! It doesn’t matter if she has medical condition … she could steal and NO excuses!!!
I am surprised cops are doing something about this on the west coast. I thought this was allowed?
Never forget that Lululemon fired 2 employees for interfering with shoplifters last year.
Do you know why? Because they are responsible for their employees if they are hurt on the job. That means lawsuit or workers compensation. Then let's not forget if they do something to the person that is stealing, they themselves are able to catch a charge. There are good reasons your job doesn't want you to put yourself in harm's way. It all boils down to money! They say it's for safety, but it's really money. Lord knows if you get shot protecting their store and you die you'll be replaced the next day 🤷♀️
I find all of this laughable because lululemon wants to be so peaceful and soft on crime and they got exactly what they bargained for. Those women knew no one could stop them so they did whatever they wanted.
@@Psychiatricnerdgenuinely i hope Lululemon has enough theft they get ran out of business. They helped promote the ideologies that have led to entire cities becoming hellscapes. They want and promote their sociolist utopia, let them have it!
Victim blaming?
Only took 42 stores to figure this out. Great detective work.
Your taxes hard at work.
Slow Justice encourages crime!
That's WA state. Police and store employees know the criminals but can't do anything.
sometimes its about building a case and allowing them to steal more so they can have longer sentences.
As a convicted felon she shouldn't be allowed bail
None of them should be allowed bail
There's a need to have stiffer laws for felons if not this will continue to happen
Put them in jail , minimum 10 years.
Usual suspects
What does that even mean???
Weave and lashed up HYENAS
@@Zaerion1 He's trying to say only black people steal completely dismissing the fact that most child predators, mass shooters, and psychopaths are white. All we did was take something off a shelf😂
@@Zaerion1Blac. The op just doesn't have the ballz.
@@Zaerion1 MUHAMMAD WILL BE PROUD!
It's about time the courts actually did something about this rather than let them go without bail or dismissed charges.
Thank you to law enforcement for helping the community be a better place!!!!!!
That is just nonsense you are spreading. Stop being a doofus
That mother is shameful and was spouting lies. She’s well enough to appear in court buy not be charged…wtf?! Well done judge for not backing down on high bail.
Good. The mom showing on her behalf, and then mentioning her kid...... rich!!!!!
Finally, a judge that does right.
No the right thing would have them both in jail, no bind because of priors!
@@desmondjefferson2127 What did he give them?
Mother was healthy enough to steal
@@eddyvideostar he gave the daughter a bind and the mother nothing
Like the prosecutors said, again and again and again. This is not just one time. This is more than once. This is habitual. They should go to jail for this.
03:54
No officer, it doesn't send a message that you will hold anyone accountable 😂😂😂 Do yourself a favor and watch this news clip.
I live in the UK & haven't a bleeding clue where Bellevue is but "Boy" do i like the sound of their PD. Thanks to the LEO involved, keep safe & keep up the good work. Backed up by a judge who defo is with the programme!!
the audacity of the mother
She’s getting all that stolen loot too
Typical delusional m u s l i m mindset 😂😂😂.
She's out due to health issues. Darn, she looks good and talks good for having health issues. Doesn't look like dying to me.🤦♀️
There are no excuses, a crime is a crime. Fin.
Consent is given if there are no consequences......This crap is ridiculous.
This is ALLOWED....HELP YOURSELF!!!!! OUR courts will do NOTHING!!!!!
Our "justice" system is broken. They need hard labor in prison.
They are already doing hard labor to get state benefits if you know what I mean 😂
Citizen in these Cities/Counties/States that allow soft on crime sentences need to start re-calling Mayors, Judges, DA's that allow this!
Mom: The criminal I created needs to get back out to steal more stuff to "provide" for her daughter.
That's exactly what she said.
Where's the father...oh wait
She is probably the leader of the entire operation and hoping the daughter doesn't rat her out.
What is the commonality with all the criminals? Exactly! Statistics dont lie
I’m so glad they finally caught these thieves. It’s really sickening that people go around doing this instead of paying for it like everyone else. I can’t say anything about the mother’s issues since it’s health wise, and plenty of people have done a lot worse than this and gotten off, and they didn’t have any health issues. Now, when the mom mentioned that her daughter has a child, well I guess the daughter should have thought of her child before stealing thousands of dollars worth of stuff. Just pray that every time they see a POC going to actually shop and/or buy, they don’t think they’re thieves.
"She doesn't have a job or anything else of that matter" YES THAT IS THE PROBLEM CAPTAIN OBVIOUS
Police need to crack down on this nonsense. You live here you have to follow the laws.
Bidens America.
Privilege race
Cops arrest them - lib courts immediately release them.
They're doing their jobs. There's just not enough of them to keep up with it all due to the defund the police movement. It's the DAs and judges that just keep giving these repeat offenders light sentences when their caught is the problem. They need to stop coddling the criminals and give them hard time.
StevenBazin-bp4sc You won’t be saying that in December.
No bond for any criminals. What ever the crime
From the bottom of my heart I respect your duty.
Great job 🎉🎉 God bless you all
Ofc she’s going to have a strong connection to the community when she’s selling luxury brands 70% off.
This is disgusting!! It's we the people that pay the price. NOT the corporations or the government. There must be SEVERE consequences.
If you don't shop there you don't pay the price so not true.
Calm down Karen
BS. The corporations are absolutely paying a price.
Laws must be changed, applying the Castle Doctrine to businesses and shops. Owners and employees should be able to protect merchandise by any means necessary.
System broken, lock them up, and take what ever they own to pay restitution back.
Strong ties to the community or strong ties to local gangs?
Since she's been mentioned as having done this in Oregon too, that's crossing state lines... federal charges should be automatic.
Something wrong with the system when a codefendant in the same case can come to court to advocate for the other criminal. Speechless.
I'm no longer shocked anymore... The justice system is beyond broken.
😂😂😂😂 punchy for reals?? Guuurrrlll you look so good in that jail house jumper looking like the kool aid man. 🤣
"In a surprise appearance, Downs' mother, Janeice Wiley, also her co-defendant, who was not booked after her arrest due to health issues, urged the court to consider the "Affordable Bail Act" and her daughter's role as a single parent"
Hold up. Where were those "health issues" when she was out committing felonies?
And making her way to her daughter's bail hearing?!
And I'd say she abdicated her role as a parent when she prioritized criminal activity over taking care of her children.
She wanted her daughter out before she snitched on them and their co-conspirators. How else did they get guns, a tinted out black Caddy, and multi-state crime spree?
Mommy wants daughter out before she snitches.
if you're not going to charge them with RICO don't call it organized
If the prosecutors would stop with the plea deals and start stacking the charges like cord lumber something might change.
What's RICO? Thanks so much.
@@LostJedi26 use google search
RICO is federal
Absolutely agree with you.
They have gone FERAL it's damages so much more than just the stores .
Why tf would her mother have standing to speak at a bond hearing?
The mother is just as guilty for trying to downplay what her daughter is doing . And her bringing up that her daughter is the sole provider of her child is just another excuse to justify her daughter’s actions .
Her mother was stealing stuff as well
If she’s the soap provider for her children, then she should get a second job.
Let me her daughter couldn’t support a child by getting a j.o.b?
Another absent father.....
Yes I'm sure mother is involved deep!
My son and his wife had to shut down their new business because of a smash and grab. My heart breaks for them . They worked so hard. And insurance did not cover their losses exvept for 500 dollars
And I bet you voted for liberal leadership because Trump was too mean calling out criminals😂😂😂
@@ontherockswithsalt2335 exactly!
The nerve of that mother, between the two of them they stole thousands of dollars worth of property, wants out because “it’s only retail” and “she has a child” should’ve thought of all that before 💩
I believe online sales sites are the “legal” fence for these stolen goods.
Cut off the money supply.
What a times for thieves, they stroll in with bags, pack up, and casually walk out, and nobody does anything to stop them. I'm not surprised there is so much theft going on.
Always the same parents helping of course no bail ..they never heard of work..30 years period 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Like Mother like daughter, Good luck to the grand daughter.
Want prices to go down? VOTE RED.
It's absolutely nonsense. Teach them a lesson.
THE BAIL IS SET TO LOW, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN $1,000,000 FOR THE RECORD SHE HAVE AS WELL AS HER MOTHER, DON'T LOOK LIKE SHE HAD ANY HEALTH PROBLEMS STEALING.
NO BAIL
1:53 Not 1 has skipped a meal and are remorseless. Having children isn't a pass for criminal activity.
This is a victory after 53 stores are stripped? Explain how they were able to just walk away from 43 stores. Stores need to stop these thieves or at least challenge them. Claim health issues to avoid being jailed? This is a joke not a success.
Blame your good ole Washington state government. I’m fairly certain it’s a law.

People don't fear police or prison 😮
"her attorney arguing that Janice has strong ties to the community, shes here with a lot of support"
Yeah, they will miss out on all the high end merchandise they can get from her, on the cheap.
They need to start putting these people in prison instead of the county jail.
The store should have known something was up when those big girls were shipping at a Lululemon.
As a Seattle Lululemon employee who had & has witnessed this for years almost every shift, the company literally tells us not to do anything at all, they would rather merchandise get taken then any employee getting harmed or into altercations. We get fired if we intervene it’s kinda crazy.
My God, she SHOULD GET A JOB to support her kid like the rest of us!!
