*Two female shoplifters were arrested after one of the women returned to the scene of the crime to retrieve her cell phone.
As KTLA reports, the incident occurred Sept. 19 at a nail salon in Murrieta, California, where two women snatched up several items and walked out without paying. A short time later, one of them returned for a cell phone that was dropped during the theft — but the employees refused to hand it over.
The wild scene was caught on Premier Nail Supply’s surveillance cameras, and footage was shared with FOX 11 Los Angeles. In a statement posted on Facebook, the Murrieta Police Department stated: “Last week, two women walked into a nail supply store just after noon. After they found what they wanted, they proceeded to walk right out the front doors, failing to pay for the now stolen merchandise.”
The statement continued, “Believe it or not, one of the suspects returned just minutes later and told the store employees to return her phone that she had dropped when stealing from the store. #YoureKiddingRight The phone also had her California Driver License and credit card inside the phone case. #YupThatsHer.”

The store employees refused to give her back the phone and one of the suspects threw the store owner to the ground, causing minor injuries.
The two suspects, who police identified as Kaydrianna Hall, 24, and Serenadi Banks, 19, left the scene in a black vehicle, Fox News Digital reports. They were contacted by police minutes later and located about 1 mile away. They were still sitting in the car, outside their home, with the stolen merchandise in plain sight.
Hall and Banks allegedly stole $600 in merchandise. They are no longer in custody after posting $5,000 bail each.
