- TH-camrs Face Prison For This Challenge...
Safe to say this is a 24hrs challenge gone wrong...
TH-cam family vloggers that go by saucy and honey decided they wanted to do a Target overnight challenge. In the end they were caught and are now facing 7 years in prison.

The fine should be working at target for 8 hours, two weeks in a row, during black friday. -Sincerely, A Target Employee
I was thinking a year of community service. The community service would be mandatory (unpaid) nighttime security at target. Also their access to social media would be restricted during working hours so they couldn’t vlog it. You know, since spending the night at target is so fun for them.
^^ Lmao what about all the other damn people who did this shi on TH-cam ? Why haven’t they been fined ? Hmm I’m getting a feelings it’s bc they are POC smh !!
I agree
You retail workers are a godsend.
Bless your soul
(even though I am not religious)
@@user.LCW01 that’s okay, we sold our souls when we joined retail lol
Rule #1 of content creation: Don't do things that are or could be illegal.
Rule #2: DON'T RECORD THE CRIME!!!
u NEVER record the crime!! 😲
Rule #3: please follow rule #1 so you won't have to worry about rule #2. 😩
@@adrianbailey6119 Rule #4: If your dumbass records doing something illegal, DON'T SELF SNITCH BY POSTING IT ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA! or actually, please do, so that your stupid ass can get caught
Crime 101, leave no witnesses.
Ok lil wayne 😊
These dingleberries didn't even stay the whole time. They left out a emergency exit. Came back and filmed the "ending" later. So they lied on top of being dumb.
Wait, what? Was the emergency exit seriously not alarmed?!
Big box stores usually keep those alarmed 24/7 to make sure people don't use it as a "this is the door we walk out with products we stole."
If they actually did that, if I was the DM/RM for that store, not to mention Loss Prevention, I'd be on that store like flies on crap.
@GrayhatJen nah the alarm went off. They just kinda left. And they were dumbasses and came back to the exact same target lol. I'm surprised Atozy didn't show the footage of that. You can see that happening on other commentary channels that are talking about this.
How they get out of emergency exit when all Emergency exits have sensors that when they get triggered they set off fire sprinklers and call the police and Unlock all the doors if they're a little more advanced For just in case if people are trapped on the other side of the building
@@bobbythompson6017 There’s footage of it online. They legit just walked out and so think that’s what actually triggered the alarm. That’s also why the police didn’t find anyone when they showed up.
@@bobbythompson6017 an alarm definitely went off when they went out. Idk if sprinklers went off
That poor manager probably just got done with a 12 hour shift and had to come in in the middle of the night to make sure no one was trespassing 😭
8 months later and wanted to check up on them
UPDATE:
They're both doing fine. still together, and Honey is pregnant. Their trial is happening in mid-January.
EDIT: trial has concluded, they pled guilty to a misdemeanor and have probation for a year
The cases are still open, as of today 1/3/23. Court scheduled for 1/6/2023 ('court call' may be like a pre trial conference) and trial scheduled for 1/13/2023. Neither seems to have an attorney which shocks me, idk how profitable their channel is though
Thank you both! I was curious
@@TruhbledPrincess oh i mustve read an incorrect article! tysm!
@@Pax-vobiscum the wheels of Justice move slowly - we can't rush stuff cause it seems cut and dry (I'm naure it os but it's gotta be done right to make sure an oversight doesnt lead to injustice). In reality criminal trespass of a shop isnt THAT serious in pa, and with no criminal history they likely wont receive very serious punishments, maybe some county time before probation but who knows when they're moving forward with no counsel
Great idea to have a child when your facing 7 years in jail ..
first. they didn't spend 24 hrs in the target. Even if they didn't get caught they would have only spent overnight. If they wanted to do a challenge, go to a 24hr walmart and try to stay in. You technically can't get in trouble. You could buy something and still stay there. As long as you aren't an asshole drawing too much attention to yourself and annoying other customers you shouldn't be asked to leave. I'm sure they'll still notice and still talk to you to figure out what you're doing, which could still be used for thumbnail and clickbait title.
There are still 24 hour Walmart’s?
@@mariewolfgang8698 hmm, looking it up, maybe the pandemic has stopped that.
@@wheelsndealz But like 2015-2018 that shit was popping. Good times
hell back in high school me and my friends would sit in the furniture displays they have at Walmart and chill. As long as we weren’t causing problems they didn’t care at all lol
@wheelsndealz
Late af but for anyone still wondering, yes that pandemic stopped that. They all close at 11pm.
This gives my the same vibes as the sponge bob grave yard shift episode and sponge bob is hyped to be doing simple tasks but… at night. We are in target but at night.
Lmao this reminded of when spongebib and Patrick got stuck in the toy store at night and they were freaking out because it was dark
I was thinking about when they turned themselves in for "stealing" a balloon, and they were imprisoned for a whole five seconds. I feel like the cops should do that with this couple; pretend to put them in prison, but then sike them out and make them pay a hug fine/do community service, like what Atozy suggested.
@@DxC-95 what we are learning here are these people are cartoon characters or reality copies art or spondebob is real
@@helainanatasha7496 I thought of the same episode 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣The hash slinging slasher episode.
This legit terrifies me as a retail manager. Everytime I see a "sleepover" I get very paranoid when I am closing down
omg.. u aughta hear the story about my old friend "Deanna Seifert" (a 10 yr old that NEVER made it home, from a sleepover that was just RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, from her very OWN house) .. i've already put the story out there myself, & it can b found by others as well.. (i know ALL the details tho) "Andrew Trombley" is a terrible person.. 😠 (& so were his 2 buddies 😡)
A bit dramatic 😂🤦♀️ your store has alarms and motion sensors and probably doesn't allow you to enter back in without police
@@LelynnsSquirrels the person is talking a sleepover in a store like the video, not a children sleepover.
@@XxHevener being a short femme person that can't fight worth anything, I would rather not run across someone who wants to steal after I leave for the night or ambush me while I count money
Convince your company to go cashless. They'll steal merchandise instead and the company has insurance most likely
As a Target employee, I can't stress this enough. Before, during, and after the announcements of the store closing for the night, security and team members usher guests out the door or to the check lines or self-checkout; Target security guards does a final walk-through before declaring the store free from shoppers, but there are still team members inside the store.
Target has an overnight crew restocking the shelves for the next business day. Now the cameras on the ceiling aren't to show people they actually work.
@notfiveo and people don't know how sentencing for crimes work, including Atozy. Every crime has a maximum sentence, and no one will as a first time non violent offender will do 7 years, it's probably legally impossible for them to get the max with sentencing guidelines.
I was gonna say, my best friend works overnight at target. So I was confused like aren’t there people somewhere
They didn't actually stay the entire night. That was faked. They were there at closing. Then left at 3am and returned after opening to fake their coming out of their fort and leaving the store. It's possible a night crew came in after them.
@@helbent4 after hearing and watching what happened to these two idiots, my overnight Manager caught two teenagers hiding behind the cases of water and walked them it the door telling them off.
@@lilblackcat213 It seems like the Internet is the sole cause of and at least partial solution to the problem here.
Lol!! My brother and I loved to talk about doing this at Six Flags (American amusement park) a long time ago before there were security cameras. We could spend hours talking about what we would do and eat and where we would hide. Obviously we thought it would be just the two of us at the park, able to ride all the rides (because of course they would leave all the rides running overnight and no one would be suspicious of two little kids riding on a freaking roller coaster when the park was closed)! 🤣🤣🤣 This cracks me up to think about now - we were so stupid!
I guess most criminals are stupid tho.
But we were KIDS (and it was the 70’s) - not grown ass adults in a time when people are always being recorded 🙄
Idiots
I just watched a video on this yesterday, they didn't even stay in the damn store all night, they left at 3.A.M and came back like dumbasses the next morning to act like they were waking up in the store... *All of that for 18k people and they had the nerve to say "Don't try this at home we're entertainers" *Yeah Ok Sure you are💯😂😂💯
nothing about this is entertaining too. The gag is, they chose a more luxury, cushy store to film. I'd have more interest in hiding in dollar general overnight. Not target where you can camp out in the pillows to music.
As someone who works retail, I would be terrified if someone was just hiding in the store after hours.
Same I be running to my manager. I work freight so I’m there 9-6 5 days a week.
Wouldnt the store be accountable for any accidents (if people get hurt etc etc) thats looks like a major problem!
@@maxnum1sgameclub263 The store is probably liable if they get hurt. They also went into back areas not meant for non-staff. That probably was an even higher safety risk for them.
Ikr. They're complete assholes and they look way too old to be doing things like this!! Weird!
@@Sclasspsycho Given the shit Dollar General workers have gone through, I think you are being naive. Maybe Target just gives more of a shit about their workers and doesn't fight them in court when they get hurt or attacked on the job, and if so I find that commendable, but it's not a sure thing for retail workers in general.
as someone who works overnight by myself in a closed grocery store, i am terrified of this happening.
Don't be scared because I am a qualified lesbian
6:17 as a retail worker you said it perfectly that's exactly our mindset. we just wanna go home no one looking behind any boxes. only to recover but that's it.
I want them to get a year in jail solely for that “no regrets” line. That “no regrets” line shows that they have learned nothing from this experience and will probably do something else stupid soon after, maybe even making a habit out of doing stupid shit.
Fun fact about target. The night manager was probably fired for leaving them in with the doors locked. My sister was a night manager there and if she left anyone in she would have been fired on the spot
Umm I'm pretty sure they didn't know these ppl were there cuz they were HIDING!
Still wouldn't have stopped the risk of them being fired, it could have easily been spun that they didn't do a proper final check before closing.
@@nidzaboricua3294doesnt matter. Corporate doesnt care
There was a homeless guy that lived in a store for a while in the garden department (I think, it was Walmart, but I am not sure.), because he did the same thing with making a "fort" behind the boxes. He was caught after he got too confident and got a grill out and was cooking up a steak.
🤣 OMG!!! On one hand I’ve gotta laugh at that, on the other though it makes me sad that he was probably legitimately starving and that was probably the first real food he had had in who knows how long…
LOL
@@mrs_maverick1121 If I were security, I would have been really tempted to let him have the steak and then call the police. It's not like they could put the steak back at that point.
...give a person an inch, they take a mile 😭
@@mrs_maverick1121 There's loads of programs and charities to feed homeless in America. He wasn't starving, he was a thief.
i love how stupid creators face up to 7 years in prison for basically doing something stupid and not that harmful, yet people get to walk free for much worse things. fuck. this. planet.
It's really simple They broke the LAW
@@Outrageousconduct Just like people that get to walk free at times
@@Outrageousconduct read guy... READ
@@GoInGcRz sometimes people can't it really Is a shame
@@Outrageousconduct did you not understand the comment?
Speaking as somebody who worked in a fast food place with similar radio set up. Yes, the music stays on 24/7, unless there is a signal problem or someone messes with the box. The "radio" is not usually controlled by the store at all. Other then a box in the manager's office which can be unplugged or has a volume knob. So the options are pretty much what corporate says to play or nothing.
"Do not attempt what we do at home" i never knew you could trespass in your own home 🤣🤣🤣
So the actual report says that they actually left around 3am and tripped an alarm on the door and came back once target opened again to shoot the ending of the vlog...
And as far as their punishment they are facing 7 years max so the judge can make an example out of them, so the rest of the clout chasers won't start doing this b.s.
exactly. this only coerces people to do this without getting caught.
That’s exactly why they could get 7 years and they should .. they are grown ass adults …they know better… u expect this from punk ass kids!
As they should. Hope they get a hefty sentence to help deter others from this nonsense.
7 years tho.. really? df
@@StopMarxism its trespassing straight up trespassing is a serious crime and 7 years is the max sentence the fact that the judge gave them max to set an example is a good thing because otherwise you get idiot kids doing this to and maybe something will happen to em during it the fact is not only does trespassing put those who own the place and work at the place at risk but it puts the trespasser at risk what if these two knocked over something heavy and it landed on top of them? then both the company and themselves are liable and the company can be sued over it even if they did illegally trespass
"Prison is temporary, clout is forever"
So deep and poetic

💯 truer words have never been spoken
Wise words by the tallest 5'6" man on the planet!
Who said that?
Speaking as somebody who works in retail at a store not much unlike Target & with similar protocols:
- Yes, the music stays on 24/7, unless there is a signal problem. The "radio" is not usually controlled by the store at all, but rather the district office and then streamed to the stores in that district.
My own store once got trapped on a children's music playlist for an entire weekend because of a mistake at the district office. It was a horrible weekend of the Frozen soundtrack and Dora The Explorer songs.
- Most stores do have motion detectors. And when those detectors are set off and the alarm goes off, not only does the alarm company alert the local police, but the manager of the store is called as well and is fully expected to drive /back/ to that store in order to follow up with the police, do a sweep through the store, and file a report. It doesn't matter how far away that manager lives or what time of the night it is, once they get that call, they HAVE to follow up on it or they will get fired.
On top of that, the risk of the manager or the closing staff getting fired over this kind of "challenge" is incredibly huge because the corporate officials could have easily spun something like this as being the fault of the employees for not properly ensuring the building was fully vacant prior to closing. While yes, it is the responsibility of the employees to make sure the store is empty before leaving, we aren't trained to look behind every box and shelf for idiot vloggers, but that sort of distinction really does not matter to corporations. All a corporate office will see is "two "customers" were left in the building after the staff had locked up for the night, so obviously this is the employees fault."
People like this are not only incredibly stupid, but also annoyingly insensitive. Retail workers deal with enough shit, we don't need this kind of shit.
💯💯🔥true facts
good comment, people are so self absorbed they never realize the consequences their actions could have on OTHERS.
Good reminder for me to never work in retail again, if i can avoid it. Even if I was a manager, expecting me to get up in the middle of the night, nah. Id rathe lose my job. Like for real do those managers even get paid the time they return? Doubt it.
When I worked at Target (2006) they didn't play music because they wanted customers focused solely on shopping. We didn't even do overheard announcements, we used walkies.
@Sllort I always found the no music thing more creepy than anything. It just felt off.
It doesn't surprise me stores use music to encourage shopping, heck, everything from displays to store layout is designed to encourage people to buy buy buy.
While I don't work at an American department store I can attest that most that I know of never turn off their music off. Hell the store I work at never even turns its lights off. Also that couple was lucky that Target, seemingly, doesn't have a night crew. Spooking one of them in the middle of the night is a great way to get shanked with a boxcutter
Lights on are usually emergency lights, and boxcutters don't cut skin very well. We had a ton at my house because we moved a lot, and my manager once gave me a lecture about how "sharp" they are. To demonstrate how wrong she was, i firmly pressed the blade into my palm and dragged it across and it hardly scraped my skin.
... I wasn't allowed to use the box cutters anymore after that, LOL.
@@kiyokumabear I dunno what kind of boxcutter you're using but your manager probably never changed the blades. When they're new they'll cut flesh like a lightsaber. The fixed blade ones are particularly sharp
@kiyokumabear
If that boxcutter couldn't cut your skin how was it cutting anything at all? Dull knife blades also don't cut skin, but they don't cut steak or paper very well either. There's a good reason you weren't allowed boxcutters anymore...
I think they should go to jail. The justice system needs to start taking accountability and letting society know these type of things are not okay.
How stupid could they actually be???? Most stores have a overnight crew and a receiving dock that have a manager in there. How stupid to actually do this. I worked at a huge store here in Baltimore back in the day and in addition to the camera’s we had a stocking crew that came in at like 3 AM.
I was fixing to say the same thing. I currently work at target and we have an overnight stocking crew that roams the store at all hours of the night restocking shelves and unloading trucks, cleaning, etc.
I am a qualified lesbian and I do the same with my girlfriends
The craziest thing is that those people thought that spending night at target is "living their best life'
They might get slapped with jail time because they’re a) not remorseful b) filmed it c) are ‘influencers’ with a following that could choose to imitate them d) prosecutors may want to make an example of them
I sure hope so. Frankly, I'm done with immature ADULTS!
I fully agree. I get that people may just want them to be fined and let go because in the video they didn’t do anything super bad (who knows what’s on CCTV). However, they showed at the start of the vlog that a fine wasn’t enough to stop them from committing a crime. Maybe a little jail time will stop them from committing future crimes. 7 years is a bit excessive. I think a judge will give them time but not enough to ruin their lives.
@@dianabodemer1889 that’s the crazy thing about nowadays, you get all of these young adults acting like literal children and thinking they have no consequences to their actions. Hopefully this is a wake up call for this couple.
Fingers crossed 🤞
No more than there were in the past. You just see it bc it's on the internet now. @@oceangravy799
I used to work retail I would’ve been horrified. It already sucked being recovery for people to be wanting to do pranks when you just wanna clock out 😞😭😭
I think they should a couple of years. These content creators need to start being held accountable. They treat society like their own playground, damned be everyone else.
People like this have zero respect for common decency and the public rules and laws we all have to abide by.
That IG Live had maybe 19-20 people viewing it, and I struggle to see how these vloggers thought the opinions of those people were worth putting themselves and everyone else at risk.
I agree with u but everyone else? I don’t understand that last part nobody was there who else? I’m not tryna be rude just curious
@@CookieCat9849 You actually assume that they were thinking? Bold.
People are desperate foe views bc money
@@Thomas_420 At least one person lost their job because of this. I'd consider that putting someone at risk.
They left at 1am through a back door and then came back when Target opened to film the rest qs if they had been there all night, security camera footage shows. Even they knew it was boring and pointless to stay all night
TH-cam really needs a policy stating that if a channel exists for the purpose of being a nuisance to the public or tethering on the edge of what is legally and morally right it cannot be monitized.
These morons need to be saved from the greed they've gotten off of easy money
Yeah that'll go over smoothly. Less videos AND even less when there's nothing to react to
@@TannerisSmol97 you're right, TH-cam should pay for crimes.
It’s just that this stupid prank probably cost people their jobs and thereby made their lives worse. Now these two get to stay happy at home, conceived a baby, all comfy. The Target employees who were most likely fired are looking for jobs and worried about their futures.
Yes, because TH-cam has a shortage of videos/content to recommend to people. 😂😂😂@@TannerisSmol97
Bro imagine being torn up about losing your job at Target. Who gives a fuck? Did them a favor if anything. Aint nobody losing sleep over losing a retail job, nor jumping at the chance to get one. @@annenelson5656
Being a stripper makes way more and probably has the same level of stress.
I looked at their youtube channel and it looks like they didn't face any prison time. They're doing their vlogs, but their views are down because their Post-Target videos don't even consistently get 1k views anymore.
I honestly think they need to face at least SOME jailtime for it. If it's just a fine, they're not going to learn.
I mean, if they weren’t caught on CCTV, uploading their “challenge” would’ve done it for them anyways
Actually Gabi Demartino had done this and got a lot of views, nothing happened to her. Police do not police the internet unless it’s a really bad crime. Which is good, they better be controlling our streets with our tax dollars, not stupid challenges on the internet
@@emsa5034
If Gabi didn't get arrested it's because she got permission to be in the store and didn't say that. It's not about police scrolling the internet, it's about civilians reporting you or people who happen to work at that store or happen to be police officers seeing that video. You really ok with vloggers breaking laws in the name of content? Selective enforcing of laws, that's what you want?
If they stayed up in the main store area they might have been fine, but they went into the staff only area where the stock was. They could have been hurt if there was anything dangerous or if a shelf fell over on them which could cause the Target to be sued so I'm really not surprised they went for as harsh as they did
From what I heard, they snuck out the back at 3AM and came back when Target opened. Sneaking out is when they tripped the alarm.
A _fine_ is what they were expecting. They deserve something a tad harsher- a month in prison. If you only give them a fine, they'll think it's fine and do it again.
Idiot Influencer = Desperate people who things for attention
Entertainer = A person who is doing SCRIPTED and legally contracted to do so
not the same damn thing
I feel bad for all the night managers that got fired for them pulling that stunt. They deserve the felony for messing with people’s lives.
I haven't read any articles that say people got fired. Where did you hear this?
@@mommadeth3066 My bf is a manager for target and any guest left in the store after close and leaves thru the emergency door is an automatic fire. The door that they went thru triggers an alarm to call the police and fire department, so corporate makes it an automatic fireable offense.
@@PurpleHeartsOnFire so no actual article stating someone did get fired just word of mouth from your BF that someone might have gotten fired.
@@mommadeth3066 Yeah word of mouth but it’s a fact that they got fired. It’s an automatic firing from corporate so there’s no way to stop it.
@@PurpleHeartsOnFire no bro idk bout target but they illegally entered and knew they were in target illegally it wasn’t a accident
I'm a mall janitor and the music never shuts off. The lights dim down but music stays on all night long.
is there a reason the music stays on?
@@bunnihart As far as I know, no. They programmed the lights and ac/heat to go off from 12am til 5am but the music is never adjusted and we asked for them to shut it off at closing time for safety and they still refused. It's quite annoying and loud when nobody else is there!
@@kellsr2244 I think it is great that you are a qualified lesbian
Wow. Why
@@dellawatson1669 There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a lesbian!
Stating, after the fact, that they have no regrets is not going to look good to a judge. Showing remorse is the way to go, so they are doubling down on dumb.
The judge will listen to them cry and plead their carelessly poor decisions…..but the prosecutor will play this “doubling down” evidence AFTER THE FACT…….and the judge will tell them he doesn’t believe them in court. Because their ACTIONS after they knew it was wrong was to dbl down. They will get 6 to 10 months in prison. My guess. No remorse or responsibility is their ticket to prison. At this point. Speaking from a guy who stood in front of a federal judge and took it on the chin.
@@KellyBNunn Hopefully 6 years
Wish we got more people to do this. Just so we could separate the idiots and the common sense people in different countries.
People can steal up to 900 dollars from a store and states like Illinois and California will hit them with a misdemeanor. 7 years for trespassing shows how messed up our legal system is.
Back in my day people would get locked like places like this overnight and just have a crazy store to tell the next day
According to Pennsylvania law, up to 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine from breaking and entering/trespassing. Which, what they did is considered by PA law.
False on the breaking and entering. Tats why they only mention trespassing
@@XxHevener breaking and entering/ trespassing is what PA categorizes it as. 2nd and 3rd offence. That's why I said it that way. Same charges, different names. I pointed out what they are liable for based on PA law. Up to 10 years and/or $25,000 fine for either named crimes.
1:30AM: everything's quiet until...
"THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!"
*Then the Target monster jumps out and grabs their dumb*sses lol
ooooh, i like this. a friendly supermarket turns into horror place once the night set.
Unpopular opinion I guess but I wouldn’t feel that bad if they do some time. There are people in jail for way less who actually needed to commit crimes for survival. This was incredibly stupid and probably was consumed by kids who may not know the risks the way they should have.
How much time should they do?
I'm with you, I almost feel like they should serve some time to discourage people from doing this and give them consequences to their actions.
@@lochness_jenni6116 how much time?
If anything I would say give them at least a week or two of jail time. Especially if they want to send a message for people not to do this in the future. The risk of paying a fine obviously wasn't enough to deter them.
@@melissaholman2605 I don’t think a week or two is enough time in my opinion but I’m also not in the legal field 😅 I definitely agree that a fine is not enough to deter them so just giving them a fine would only result in them repeating this action again. “See how much clout we got from committing a crime let’s do it again!” The amount of influencers that do not face any consequences to their actions is a palling to me. It’s literally in their name that they influence people. They, like celebrities, should be held as accountable as any regular civilian, if not more so because of their reach. Granted, these individuals didn’t have as big of a reach as other influencers but they’re still influencing people.
Ah yes... The US legal system. Stores are literally closing in big cities because of the rampant retail theft that is intentionally not being prosecuted, but just remaining in the store past closing could result in 7 years of prison. Got it? Got it.
Sup Atozy
Plot twist: the store manager doesn't press charges and pulls off the same challenge at there crib's !?.
Actually I completely understand the 7 years of prison, especially after they knew they were breaking the law and still decided to go through with it for content because supposedly a fine wasn’t enough to deter them from doing it
It’s both a health & safety issue to do something like this and I’m sure their state wants to use them as an example of the punishment you can receive from it
Atozy is assuming that all they did was walk around but there’s no way to prove that from our ends. They could have easily contaminated hundreds of thousands of dollars of consumer products and the only people that know are the people that have access to the store’s camera footage
They could have easily set a bomb, spread Covid bacteria everywhere, messed with electrical wires & computers or stolen private company and employee information 🤷🏽♀️
Fair point. Didn't even think that far. I agree. I think they should get jail time. 7 years is a bit much though. Maybe 6 months.
@@eglorious-yt they could b encouraging copycats TOO
there's NO telling WHAT they mighta done, OFF camera, WHILE in there.. 😬 QUICK.. SOME1 GETTA "FOIA REQUEST," FOR THOSE SECURITY CAMERAS!! 😉 (since ppl wanna claim it's so easy.. 🤷🏼♀️ as they TRY to b as invasive as possible, claiming to b an untouchable mouthy camera, that just insults everybody 🙄)
I get your point and I agree to a certain extent, but 7 years is still a bit much, especially if they have no evidence of any harm done. Plus, what's the difference between them contaminating stuff at night and the hundreds of people that do it during the day
Does your shoulder hurt from reaching that far? Everyday shoppers s touch everything in the store anyways, with that logic, everyone has contaminated everything. I’m sure the case documents are public now and it would list anything and everything they’ve done in that store was illegal. 7 years is still too much considering there’s sexual predators that get away scotch free or little time.
Honestly facing 7 years is perfect. How else are they going to stop people from doing this without giving harsh punishments. Let alone they left at 3am setting off the alarms. Waste of police resources.
And 7 years in prison is not a waste of resources? Lol. Also you dont need to send them to jail to cover wasted costs. Just force them to pay it. You're advocating stiffer penalties for this than lets say drink driving or assault (which has a bigger potential harm by far). Surely you can see how crazy that would be.
@@martinaasandersen3775 you know what's even crazier. Rapists and pedophiles on average only getting 2 years for their crimes let's not count how many don't go to jail because judges think the receiving party deserved it or didn't have enough evidence. 7 years is exactly what they deserve. If you are to give just a fine and pay back the merchandise how many people do you honestly think will actually pay? Probably only a hand full and it creates a bigger problem of showing the slap on a wrist you can get for pulling something like this. 7 years is nothing to the massive wave of damage they could have caused to the building, staff or even security/police.
@Lost pelican well there is a way to stopp this stupidity. It's called either take the labels off everything and let nature do its job or parents step the fuck up. Oh wait that isn't going to happen well shit. Harsh prison experience it is. Maybe just maybe might scare them enough they wont do anything again.
@@martinaasandersen3775 They're not going to get 7 years in prison, but the publicity around that threat will have spread far and wide and act as a deterrent.
I think 7 years is fair to make an example, so creators stop doing things that other people have to deal with. Some employee got there in the morning and immediately didn’t want to deal with that 😂
Ex Target employee here! To be honest I don’t think most stores have sensor that are activated by motion because there is an overnight crew that does things such as restock and organize in the back. So there is always someone in the store 24/7, fun fact there’s a doorbell that anyone can ring so the night crew can notify the store that they’re outside. I personally didn’t work at night, I did a couple shifts and I hated it so I stick to mostly day.

Dude I highly disagree I hope they get the max sentence. Especially since they obviously don't care if they get fined. People are going to keep pulling shit like this till they cross a real line and someone gets hurt. If they weren't so YOLO about it I would say a fine would be a good punishment.
An expensive fine proportional to their finances would more than suffice for the stupidity of their actions. Prison should be for real criminals, not dumb people.
7 years is so excessive and unnecessary. A fine would be better
@@flaviolujan1907 breaking and entering is a real crime.
@@vismattress5760 @vi’s mattress breaking and entering is a real crime, but it is still usually just a misdemeanor. They would only be facing up to one year in jail.
Apparently Pennsylvania has some really strict laws about tresspassing since what we would call breaking and entering would constitute a second-degree felony (here they are charged eoth a third-degree felony since they didn't break in).
The lack of remorse might bite them in the ass when it comes to sentencing. They have said publicly that they don't regret it.
A silly prank gets 7 years(possibly) but yet someone who SA someone gets a 2 year suspended sentence.
2 year suspended sentence, probation terms that ban them from accessing the internet for 5 years. Give 'em an internet time out
Locking someone in a Target overnight as a leader is a final warning, which means they spend a year at risk of immediate firing if anything like it happens again. Nice of them to think about that sort of thing.
Well, yeah. That seems pretty negligent. I would hope that wouldn’t apply in this situation tho.
Even if they were hiding?
I'm not a lawyer, but as I understand it, it is incredibly unlikely that they will receive anywhere near the maximum sentence. Those are generally reserved for criminals with a record a mile long. However, their complete lack of remorse NOT going to help them.
They didnt even spend 24 hours inside. The alarm was tripped when they were walking out the back at 2:30am and came back in the morning to make it seem like they spend the night there. Not only they got caught they also lied about spending the whole night lmao.
30 days in jail, 60 hours community service is what I think would be fair and punishing enough for them to think twice about doing it again
Honestly I approve the whole prison time. "influencers" and tik tokers so called fun is out of hand and deserves the consequences. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes as the internet always say.
I just feel like there's no way this would be worth it. Get caught and ultimately the police will charge you with breaking and entering. People that will do anything for clout need to have an example made out of them.
I agree wholeheartedly, although they didn't B&E and a lawyer would have a tough time proving they forced their way into the store. They definitely trespassed for sure.
When I worked at a retail store years ago I was the one responsible for cleaning the bathrooms every night. I would generally do that after the store closed, mainly because that is when I had time to do so. One night, unbeknownst to me, another employee unlocked the restrooms for a “customer” not too long before closing time. When I entered the men’s bathroom I immediately attempted to enter the single stall in there, but couldn’t because it was locked. Looking through the door crack, I could see someone in there. I announced myself and said we were closed but did not get a response. I then jumped up to look over the stall wall and saw a guy passed out on the toilet.
Left the bathroom and reported it to the shift lead, who called the police. 5 minutes later the police arrive go in and arrest the guy. Apparently this same dude had done the same thing the week before at another store nearby and got away with stealing some things. This time he was promptly arrested and hauled away. The only things he stole from us was a muffin and a drink.The cops also said he had heroin on him when they searched him.

Seven years is insane, considering that actual criminals with actual victims face far less, and in some cases get rewarded, but prison time needs to be on the table. A few months would definitely be understandable.
Am I surprised? No. But am I disappointed?
Also no. These guys always have it coming.
depending on their criminal records and if they even have one i highly doubt they’ll get jail time at all. most likely will only have to pay a fine and probably banned from targets
I understand why they are facing such a long time tho. In this time and age the rule is to "up the anti" every time. If they were to go free or with a lower sentence, some "maverick" would do worse just to test the limits. As a retail worker who often does closing shifts I'm always wary of seeing out every last customer (we also have a "nr in&out" on the door) and checking out motion detector before closing. I don't want some sh*thead to wreck out the place or, worse, jump out once the store is closed with the crew still inside and potentially harm us.
Before lockdown we had a customer who, being old, didn't ear the closing message. I almost sh*t my pants when, goin to the back to change my clothes, I found him in the back of a shelf. The poor man was terrified as much as me, and it ended with a laugh and a pat in the back, but man I almost punched him LOL.
People need to find better way to be remembered.
Imagine JAIL...I'm in for murder, rape, brutal assault, drug manufacturing... what you in for? I'M A TH-camR😂
Crickets 🦗 🦗🦗🦗
All retail stores continue playing their Muzak systems, it's not controlled by staff at all unless they have it as a closing procedure to turn it down but in what world would that matter to them.
they’re probably just going to get fined for this and serve no jail time. assuming neither of them have criminal records. i’m assuming they don’t because they were released from court on a 25,000 bond but they’re due to go back to court later this month. they’re gonna end up spending a lot of money on lawyer fees alongside the fines. the woman was asked if she regretted doing the stunt outside of court and she said she didn’t. this is strange to me because i can’t imagine they made enough money from the video to cover even a fraction of the money they’re going to have to pay to their lawyer/the court. they’re gonna get in trouble for the trespassing and also for setting off the alarm, making police waste their time going over to the target to see what’s going on.

I work at Target and we literally could give less of a fvck if someone did this. The music is garb btw and we do leave it on 24/7.
The music/announcements (except for the live "We're closing" ones) come right from corporate, don't they?
Visiting any store that isn't of the mom and pop variety is an entirely manufactured experience. It's not live radio. Where each customer ends up shopping, is for the most part, controlled by what products are placed where.
It's unreal how well they can predict what will work best where. The level of psych and crap that goes into planograms (or whatever resets are called these days) is both interesting and creepy.
Also, I'm sorry they pay you sh!t.
@@grayhatjen5924 truthhh but actually I heard target employees make 15-20$
No they didn't . They left at 3AM. Tripping an alarm. Going out a side door. Tipping the cops off. Store managers watched it all on CCTV the next morning. Then they returned when the store opened at 8AM. Then the cop's found her live an the video when they put it up on TH-cam that same day. It's all in a News clip that covered the store. About two weeks ago.
Worse part is that they didn’t stay the whole night! they left out the emergency exit tripping the alarm at 3 am which got them caught then and returned later when the store opened
I'm thinking some Target employees also got fired for not "properly doing a security check."
They absolutely should get 7 years. If these TH-camrs think all they'll get is a fine, we're gonna see a lot more of this shit.
I think it should be more than a fine but it shouldn’t 7 years.
While I do agree about how unfair the sentencing is in this country, I can guarantee you the harsh sentencing is there for show. With the way challenges like devious licks and tide pods blew up once they got popular, target was probably afraid of this couple kicking off another popular string of criminal tiktok challenges, and so they said, "scare the shit out of them." There's plenty of places that have overnight staff restocking, unloading, taking down and putting up new signage and sales. If retailers don't want to have to pay for even more security until the challenge dies down, the cheapest and easiest thing to do is to make an extreme example out of this couple to deter anyone else from trying. It sucks for this couple to be the example, but that's why most people fake this shit or don't do it in the first place. They're lucky they got stopped here cause if this challenge took off in popularity and had tons of copycats, retailers could be vengeful and petty and sue the couple for damages for starting this whole thing in the first place.
Just don’t bother doing this at kohls. I used to work there in like 2010 and they had a lil security room and had hella tvs and two people working in there 24/7. So who knows what they have now lol. They also use to give cash incentives to employees when they caught people stealing so they were always watching shoppers. Again that was back in 2010 lol
The US got private prisons sooo: Where’s the “influencers/content creator’s” prisons? Let’s give things like this 1 year in ✨influencer prison✨
The big mistake was doing it in a target lol
I can't tell you how many times I was called by the security company at like 3am because people were trying to break into our store and I had to drive 45 minutes to my store to talk to cops, check cameras, and submit reports. These people think this shit is funny and cool but it's irresponsible behavior because someone has to suffer from it!
I know for a fact that grocery stores play music on a loop 24/7. Surprised the night crew didn't catch them, if Target even has one, which would probably start their shift around midnight.
I worked in a small local retail store. No headquarters, no security, a few cameras and an alarm. Really not much compared to these corporate stores. One night I was doing a walk-thru making sure everyone had left. Upon entering the bathroom i found a teen who was trying to stay unnoticed so he could stay after we closed. He was trespassed indefinitely. Some Days we had as few as 3 people working while other days roughly 15 or so. Now I work alone in a store and the bathroom gets locked up an hour before i close. And yes, I carry at work.
I think they should have to do a shit ton of community service! I think that would make a great example out of them, humble them like they need to be humbled, and help the community all at the same time, not to mention save the tax payers money from having them sit in prison… Win all around!
I've heard of SA cases getting much less than 7 years. No one got hurt so why punish them that hard???
No one gets hurt if someone just brakes into your house and decide to stay overnight either, so I guess you'd be perfectly fine with any stranger coming to your house and stay?
I doubt they will get 7 years that's just the max. If they don't have no past record or anything like that they'll probably get probation and a big fine like you said. Unless the judge wants to make an example out of them they might get some jail time
I agree that up to 7 years of prison time is outrageous, and that it should probably just be a large fine, probation, maybe some community service. Hell, maybe even a few months in county, but not 7 years in prison. They did admit they were expecting a fine though, maybe the threat of up to 7 years in prison is to discourage any other vloggers who don't think a fine is a big enough deal to NOT spend the night in a target. That sounds like a terrible experience to risk jail time for, cus it's not like you can use any of the products in the store without adding larceny to their list of charges. I mean, far worse/more ignorant things have been done to get clicks and views.
Worked at jc penny and they literally forgot me and another employee and locked us in. She said it wasn't the first time either. Lesson - If you get a job where you're looked at as a cog, you can do overnight challenges with basically 0 effort. 😆
We ended up setting the alarm off and one of the managers had to wake up at like 1:30 am to let us out.
Stupid challenges are sooooooo 2015-2017💯🤦🏼♂️
the second hand shame and dread from watching people like this get caught doing dumb shit is more gut wrenching than the suspense of any horror movie i’ve ever seen
Probation and community service. Seriously, they need to give back to the community somehow after this..
I agree, I think community service would be a far better punishment for them than sitting in prison!
@@mrs_maverick1121 to spoiled brats like them prison is the worst, they dont get catered to
They’re obviously not receiving counsel. Why would they post that response, “No regrets?” Yes, I hope the judge sees that too, but I don’t think it will be received so well…
The way the law works (in Pa at least) you get sentenced based on your gravity score. There's charts. I assume they have no gravity score. You get one by being convicted of crimes. If someone has like the max score (I think 5 idk) they're getting smoked like they're getting hit with the max but some regular never been in trouble person no way they getting the max or even close unless they go off on the judge or some other extenuating circumstances
Honestly I hate everything related to content these days. This to me is far less aggravating to watch, it also seems like they are truly just trying to have fun it doesn't seem like it was solely for views so I hate reality hit them that hard.
At the Target in my town, the store is almost never empty. The night crew does all the unloading and stocking and they're locked inside the store.
Also, these people should get at least a couple months in jail just for being obnoxious, and a couple more months for being idiots that are wasting people's time and causing unnecessary headaches for the people who work at this store. Six months seems entirely fair to me (they won't serve the whole sentence anyway).
It's easy to say "they face up to 7 years in prison" and act like that's excessive, however that's the maximum sentence which is never given to first time offenders, and they're likely to get a WAY lighter sentence. Plus, unless you're a real piece of shit, you're not going to serve the whole sentence. The law is "excessive" for exactly that reason.
Thanks for reminding me they are locked in. i forgot that fact when I worked there. I remember teammates rushing to get food before closing so they could eat through the night, on breaks.
Night crew was easily 10-12 people at mine so they wouldve been caught. they are so lucky.
@@AH-ph3cb Yeah, my brother worked at our Target for like 2 weeks after he got out of the Navy, and would rant about them locking the night crew in. I thought that was absolutely crazy that they'd lock employees inside the store.
Pats on the back to everyone arriving late
7 is too much, but I hope they get 5 👍🏽
