12:19 am
12:22 am
you're watching realtime video of a thief in the act of stealing a car. it happens over and over again. in fact, every 30 seconds another car is stolen somewhere in america. until just a few years ago las vegas led the nation in auto theft. but the police here responded with a specialized unit called viper, and soon the crime numbers began falling. we've been riding along with an lieutenant showing us specialized bait cars. >> this has a map. each car is represented by a color. >> here's how it works.
12:23 am
two undercover detectives, a male and a female drive one of the vehicles into a high crime area and get out of the car and appear to start an argument. in the chaos they pretend to abandon the vehicle, a real life scenario that lieutenant duvall says happens more than you might think. >> we use real situations where people have had their cars stolen because they left it running. >> tonight it takes only a few minutes for the bait car to attract attention. >> we have someone interested. >> at first just one woman jumps in. >> door open. >> and what she doesn't know is that the police are following her. we're right behind her. we're watching and listening to everything she says. >> come on, fool. >> she picks up three friends. >> hurry up. see if they got some money. >> and rummages through a purse intentionally le b just look through the [ bleep ]. >> the bait car, the escalade
12:24 am
was out for probably less than three minutes. a woman got in, grabbed it, and then picked up some other people. >> i'm about to run this light. >> now they're running a red light. >> we got to park this [ bleep ]. >> talking ab going to the house and parking it. >> it's time for the cops to cut off the power to the suv. >> kill it, kill it, kill it. >> oh, no gas. >> let me see your hands! driver, put your hands out. let me see your hands. >> officers arrest all four people in the car and charge them with grand theft auto. before they're taken off to jail, i get a chance to speak with them. starting with the driver, who goes by misty. i'm wondering if you just tell me what happened. >> yeah, the lady was arguing with her boyfriend. >> the lady who was originally driving the car. she describes after seeing the commotion and the abandoned car,
12:25 am
her friends egged her onto take it. >> they wanted me to get it. >> they wanted you to get it? why did they want you to get it? >> i don't know. >> well, they're your friends. so you just did. why not just turn the car off and call police? >> i don't know. i was going to probably do that when i got here. >> what were you all saying to each other when you took off? >> nothing. just let's go park it. >> see i could hear what you were saying. that's not what you were saying. >> i said, look through her wallet. >> look through her wallet, see if there's any money. so you're going to take the pun if you found money. >> because i have no money. >> i know, but you're not supposed to take money that's not yours, right? >> one of the other passengers, timothy dillon says his friend misty has it all wrong. >> now she says, misty says that you all said, get in the car, get in the car. start it. drive around, pick us up.
12:26 am
>> i have no idea why she would say that? >> she claims that's what happened. >> i mean, she got her opinion. i got mine. >> and what's your opinion? >> she asked if we needed a ride, so we got in. >> i heard what was going on. and it didn't go down just that way. you want to give me another shot at the story here? >> that's the one i'm going with. >> the other two suspects are siblings. he said he knew this was a bad idea. i said, i'm not getting in there. my sister is like, yeah, you are. come on, come on. >> i had some -- i -- >> his sister loretta admits she's been drinking. so what made you decide it was a good idea to jump in there? >> to have a ride. >> to have a ride. a ride that on this night land her and her friend behind bars. all four suspects have pleaded guilty and were sentenced to less than a year in jail.
12:27 am
so what's going to happen to you now? >> i'm in trouble. >> you're in trouble. all right. >> yeah. >> coming up, thieves so bold they stole jewelry from one pawnshop and hocked it at another. how they were finally put on ice. >> i foub the gun. it's under the passenger seat wrapped in a towel. two masked men, guns drawn,
12:31 am
two masked men, guns drawn, order terrified customers and employees to the floor as they smash display cases, hidden jewelry and cash. he says all the robberies share a similar pattern. they pull up right in front of the pawnshop. the men wear masks made from t-shirts and carry guns and use pillow cases for the loot. >> they force him in there. >> throw them in the pillow case. who are they?
12:32 am
the video from the pawnshop is of little use. then a tip comes in. jewelry stolen from one pawnshop is being hocked at another. this suspect is identified on store surveillance wearing a gold chain stolen that very morning. police identify him. antonio richard. a seven-time convicted felon. >> i didn't have enough to get identified from the victims in the pawnshop. so i had to do something to get the cases solved. >> the only way to know is to keep richard under constant surveillance. the detective turns to a specialized unit. -- to catch them in the act. lieutenant ted lee, who heads up
12:33 am
the specialized unit, says it's the career criminals who commit most crimes. >> unfortunately that's their job. that's the business. that's all they really know. the sergeant and his team are assigned to watch antonio richard every waking hour. first it seems richard is living a crime-free life. even has a job as a courier. until another tip. >> we have a new piece of information. informants say he's going to hit another super shop and give him a time and arrest. the suspects show up before the sergeant arrives on the scene, the men are spooked when they see a security guard and drive away. but police follow the men and
12:34 am
arrest them a few blocks down from the road. so were these the guys responsible for the armed robberies? remember that white grand van? they were arrested riding in a white grand am. crime scene investigators search the car. >> we're looking for any kind of clothing, firearms, anything like that. >> and find masks made out of t-shirts, just like the one used this the robbery. >> one that we just pulled out. a gun underneath the front seat. >> it's wrapped in a towel. and a pillow case just like the robbers were seen carrying. a few weeks later i went to the jail to speak with richard. how did it all start?
12:35 am
>> just doing something to be doing something. wasn't really no reason. >> richard admits they were the claim behind the mask but claims they had no intention of hurting anyone. >> it seems worse than it really is. >> in what way? >> it looks like we were going to hurt someone. we were trying to make situations happen and come out of there as safe as possible. that's all it really was. >> richards says he and his police, who has pleaded guilty, netted more than $20,000 in stolen goods. extravagant things. what was the most extravagant thing you bought with the money? >> going on trips? fix the cars up. pay the bills. just gamble.
12:36 am
at 42 he's already spent more than ten years in prison. is prison a deterrent for you? >> i don't being locked up. i stay locked up. i parentally it must be something within me to where i must be liking this type of lifestyle or something. coming up, he's in hot water. how many people do you figure you guys scammed? but say it's all his fault. >> i'm done. i mean, are you charging me with something? >> i'm not charging you. i'm a correspondent for a television show.
12:40 am
>> this 82-year-old was looking for someone to help her maintain her property. you had landscape work. so the flier on her doorstep seemed worth looking into. they soon did some work. did some landscaping. trimmed the bushes. cleaned up, and you wrote him a check for $120. >> you're watching the actual video from the day the men worked for kay. here they are blowing and raking leaves off her driveway. what none of them knew was that someone else was watching, too, sergeant chris laveck and his team of undercover detectives. >> it's just a cat and mouse game is really the best way to describe it. >> police had been surveilling the men for weeks, and our
12:41 am
cameras were with them on the way. >> gary stevenson, wearing a dark long-sleeved t-shirt. >> why would police follow two landscapers? because the cops knew something else about these two. they were thieves. this is surveillance video of the men with another accomplice at a marshal's clothing store. >> surveillance video. they're ripping you have tags and putting stuff in the car. >> they cut off security tags and hide merchandise in bags. >> what kind of stuff are they steal sng. >> on that occasion just clothing.
12:42 am
he cut open a box of men's cologne and had taken some boxes. >> here they are another day at lowes. they pick up some window screens and simply walk out without paying for them. so when they were spotted blowing leaves in the neighborhood, cops suspected they were up to no good. and that's when the suspects approached kay. she paid them to do some yard work. but then they made their move. he got done yard working. he told me to open up the garage door. the landscapers told her they checked her water heater. the water heater is perfectly fine. >> it looks like he's going back up to the house. >> so she agrees to pay them $1,000 to replace it. they load it into their truck and haul it away. >> and they're away going eastbound.
12:43 am
but if the water heater wasn't broken, what were they up to? it seems these thieves got greedy because the water heater was still under warpty and heading to this plumbing store. >> they said they had a warranty heater replacement that they got. >> by presenting this sticker to the management of store. they could get a new one for free. the plan, pocket kay's thousand dollars for a nonexistent repair, replace her water heater, and keep the extra one for themselves. but cops have seen enough. and they move in. you know you are under arrest now, right? for burglary, grand larceny and larceny. >> as police sort out what happened to cay, they arrest stevenson and whipple. stealing from the retail stores. >> we've been following you guys for a while. we've been watching you every morning. we've seen you on your shoplifting sprees.
12:44 am
>> it was somebody that looked like me that wasn't me. >> do you have any twins? >> do i have any twins? not that i know of. a few weeks later, he agreed to speak with us, too. >> when did this term from a landscaping business to a criminal enterprise? >> about two and a half years ago. steven said they scammed people they believed was the most vulnerable, the elderly. >> go to the old folk's neighborhood. kick somebody's water system over. completely break it to where water is gushing everywhere. come back 10, 20 minutes and say, look, your water system is broke. t got to get fixed. if you don't get it fixed, your water bill will go skyrocketing. they would hire us to fix it. >> there were other scams, too. >> go to somebody's home and say we're washing roofs today.
12:45 am
it's really hot. you told these people that you had a whole plan to protect the roofs. >> exactly. >> but there were no repairs once they got on the roof. just a hosing, literally. >> just spraying water. >> and what did that do for the roof? >> nothing. just clean it. >> how many do you figure you guys scammed? >> we scammed probably about a good 100, 150 people. >> all elderly? >> all elderly. >> you're okay with that. >> i was strongly against it. >> that's because he says none of it was his idea. he blames this man, joe ridell, a career criminal who stevenson says forced him into a life of crime by beating him. >> i got to tell you, gary, if i'm living with a guy who's beating me, making me pull off
12:46 am
scams, i'm out of there. >> i was scared for my life because he's already told me after i got back with him that if i ever ran away, and if he ever caught me, he would break both my legs where i could never walk again. that's when i started looking. i was like, well, i can't do nothing, so i might as well just do it. if i don't do it there's going to be consequences. >> did you feel trapped? >> i felt trapped. i really felt trapped. i was scared for my life. >> why didn't you just go to the police and say hey, look, i'm in this bad situation. this guy is making me commit crimes. he's threatening my life. >> plus he threatened my family as well. i knew if i went to the cops the first place he would go is to my grandma's house. >> so who is joe ridell, who allegedly controlled the scammers? chris hansen with "dateline nbc". how you doing? ridell is a three time convicted felon.
12:47 am
we met him at the clarke county detention center where he was being held on another case. gary stevenson told us you were the man behind the scene, where you would send these guys out, target the elderly people, ripping them off. >> never. >> did you ever send gary or a guy named dave to punch holes in people's water lines? >> never. >> to destroy the sprinkler systems so you could get paid for repairing them? >> never. >> ridell says now that stevenson has been caught he's just making up a story to cover his tracks. >> you know you are under arrest, right? >> so why would gary stevenson say all this? >> because the guy is a crazy nut. >> he's a crazy nut? >> yeah. he got himself in a bunch of trouble. so he lies about everybody else. that's what. >> but ridell says he never beat or threatened stevenson, in fact, he says he helped him. >> took care of him. lived there.
12:48 am
>> we also asked him about allegations that he's a white supremacist, and that's when he decided to end the interview. >> what does that have to do with anything? i'm done. are you charging me with something? >> i'm not charging you, i'm a correspondent for a television news show. >> oh, okay. >> hey, one other question before you go. anything else you want people to know about this case? >> it's bull [ bleep ]. i mean, come on. the dude went to jail for [ bleep ] stealing to make money for himself. he got caught. he started making lies up about people. >> david whipple also claims that his partner is making things up. >> did you ever go out and break somebody's sprinkler system so yoco>> no, never once have i do anything like that? >> have you ever gone and dug up somebody's water pipe? and poked a hole in it so you could come back the next day and charge them to fix it? >> no.
