Omaha, Nebraska investigators are currently looking for two couples who allegedly stole over 100 bras from a Victoria's Secret inside a shopping mall last week. Employees didn't realize the items were missing until last Friday, but investigators believe the crime happened last Wednesday. Police are looking at mall surveillance cameras for more clues, but have determined the alleged thieves came into the store empty handed and left with bags full of bras. Management says that the stolen merchandise is valued at over $5000.

Questions to consider here are how did these people get bags full of bras out of the store under the noses of employees, out of the mall, and to their vehicle without being spotted? Why wasn't the alleged crime discovered Wednesday night rather than Friday (remember, last Thursday was Thanksgiving)? Finally, what will be seen on those surveillance tapes?

Video cameras are everywhere these days. Lots of people who have committed crimes are caught when they show up on surveillance footage. While burglaries and shoplifting continue to occur, it is getting more difficult to get away with it due to cameras. However, the surveillance footage ensnares the innocent as well as those who allegedly break the law. Grainy video is obviously no substitute for seeing someone do something in the flesh. If you have been charged with shoplifting, an experienced defense attorney may raise enough doubt in the mind of the jury that the person seen on the video could be someone else.
