- Let us out. - It's not happening. - Let us out. - Who raised you kids? Enough! - [Suspect 1] Let us out. - Stop it. - [Suspect 2] No. - [Suspect 1] Let us out. - What do you mean no? - [Suspect 1] Come on. Let us out. - Stop. 482799. - [Dispatcher] Go ahead. - I've apprehended the suspects. They're in the back of my police vehicle now. Is backup on the way? (radio crackling) - [Dispatcher] Yes. The sheriff should be there momentarily. - Copy, ten four. - Let us out. (dramatic music) - You kids think you don't have to listen to me? What if I turn the car off? Two minutes it's gonna be nice and toasty back there. You're not getting any more air. (dramatic music)

Sorry about that, sir. - Yeah. I heard you're calling them kids. How old are they? - Eight and nine. - Eight and nine? Are you sure they're the perps that robbed the Apple store? I mean, are you positive that's them? - Oh, believe me, sir. They're vicious. - I better check this out myself. - Here we go. - Oh, my goodness. It must be 100 degrees in here. Are you kids all right? Come on out. What did he do? Did he put handcuffs on you too? Now let me get those off. Come on. You okay? Jacobson, could you get a couple bottles of water for these kids? They're in dire need of hydration. Are you kids all right? - Thank you so much for saving us. - You're welcome. - Jacobson, what in God's name were you thinking? - What do you mean? They just robbed an Apple store.

- Number one, robbery. Number two, evading arrest. Number three, I don't know yet, but I'm sure I'll figure something out when I run your record. - We're only eight and nine years old. - No, no, no. Don't try to look at me with those puppy dog eyes. Crime has no age. I'm not that naive. - We were just in an Apple store getting an iPhone 14 for our dad. - I'm supposed to believe that you two can afford an $1,100 phone? - Yes, that's the truth. - I've had it with you two. Enough, turn around. You're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. All right, let's go. Move, that way. Hurry up. Move. Get in there, go. Get in the car. (car door slamming) (gentle music) - Let us out, please. We didn't do anything.

- Overzealous? I'll show you overzealous. Let's turn around. - What are you doing? Why are you doing this? - I'm taking you downtown to arrest you. I'm arresting you for endangering those kids' lives and arresting them with no proof. (car door slamming) - It's unbelievable. - Kids, I am so sorry about what happened today. My sincerest apologies. Can I take you guys somewhere? Do you have any place you want to go? - Yes, we would love to go home. - Okay. I'm gonna give you a ride home. - Yeah. - Let's go. (dramatic music) (bright music)

- Hey, where's Dad? - Hey, Dad? We're outside of the mall waiting for you. He said he can't pick us up right now. - Hmm. I guess we'll have to walk home then. - Jacobs here. - [Dispatcher] We just received notice of a robbery at the Apple store at the Mango Park Mall. Two suspects, both African American. Witnesses say they left on foot. - Ten four. I'm in the area. I'll keep an eye out. Two African Americans walking. Is that a new iPhone in her hand? That must be them. Hey, kid. Stop right there. Gimme that iPhone. - We're only eight and nine years old. - I'm supposed to believe that you two can afford an $1,100 phone? - Yes, that's the truth. - You're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Get in there. - Let us out, please. We didn't do anything.

- They're not even 10 years old, and you could have killed them in the back of that car with the heat. And besides, do you have proof that they robbed the Apple store? - I mean, Sheriff, do you really think two Black kids could afford an iPhone? - Jacobson, have you been listening to yourself? Yeah. I believe they could afford the phone. Did you ask them for a receipt? - No. I knew they didn't have one. - I got the receipt. Here it is, paid with my dad's credit card. - Thank you. One iPhone 14 Pro Max, $1,099 plus tax. What do you make of this? - Sorry. - Jacobson, you assumed they were guilty because of their appearance, now didn't you? Not only did you falsely arrest them, you traumatized them and endangered their lives by putting them in the back of that hot car. - I guess I got a little overzealous.

- You kids think you don't have to listen to me? What if I turn the car off? In two minutes, it's gonna be nice and toasty back there. You're not getting anymore air. (dramatic music) (bright music) - Hey, where's Dad? - I don't know. He said he would be waiting for us right there. - Wanna call him and ask? - Yeah, let me call him. Hey, Dad? Yeah, we got the iPhone 14. We're outside of the mall waiting for you. What? You can't pick us up for another 30 minutes? Whatever, Dad. Lisa and I will just walk home then. Bye. - What did he say? - He said he can't pick us up right now. He's busy doing something. - I guess we'll have to walk home then. Our house is 15 minutes from here. (bright music) - [Dispatcher] Calling for Officer Jacobs.

Calling for Officer Jacobs. - Jacobs here. - [Dispatcher] We just received notice of a robbery at the Apple Store, at the Mango Park Mall. Two suspects, both African American. Witnesses say they left on foot. - Ten four. I'm in the area. I'll keep an eye out. (gentle music) Wait a minute. What do we have here? Two African Americans walking. Is that a new iPhone in her hand? That must be them. (gentle music) Hey, kid. Stop right there. 482799, I've located the suspects. They're on the run. Please send backup. - [Dispatcher] Copy that. Backup on the way. (dramatic music) - What the hell is wrong with you kids? - Please don't hurt us. - I told you to stop, didn't I? - We were scared. - Well, running just doubles the trouble you're in. Give me that iPhone. - What did we do wrong, sir?

(car door slamming) - Hey, Jacobson. - Hey, sheriff. Thanks for showing up. - Yeah, I heard your calls for backup. I just happened to be in the area. Well, what's going on? - Luckily, I got it all under control now. I got the call about the robbery, so I started scoping the place out. I saw the two suspects carrying the stolen merchandise. Do what I had to do. - Well done. I see you got them both in the back there. - Yeah, but it was not that easy. They resisted, started running, caught them in the end. - Well, it's never easy. But I gotta say I am impressed you caught both of them. - Just doing my job, sir. (window rattling) - Hey, they sound like they're getting a little excited. Do you want to go check that out? - Yeah. Yeah. Give me a second. I thought I told you kids to be quiet, now you're up.
