A woman is wanted for allegedly teaching a young girl to shoplift. The child attempted to lift a large bottle of liquor but found it to be too heavy.

In the video, a woman and girl can be seen walking along an aisle when the woman points at a bottle and walks away, leaving the girl alone. “(She is) a 5-year-old child and (she) shouldn’t be taught to do that”. She walks to the counter and waits for the woman to block the view of the clerk before slipping outside.

For the store’s owner, it’s not the theft that has him so angry.

It looks like she tries to put the smaller bottle in a bag then decides to hide it behind her back.

Police said the child – estimated to be about 7 years old – stole a 750 ml bottle of 1800 Silver Tequila during the incident on August 11. The young girl then went to a white Chevrolet Impala or similar model waiting in the parking lot. “The way she did it looked like it really wasn’t the first time”.
