Woman Caught on Camera Ripping Off Hialeah Liquor Store in Company of Young Girl: Owner

Owner says peace sign-flashing woman has stolen bottles of liquor at least twice

A Hialeah liquor store owner is battling back after he says he was ripped off by the same woman twice, once while she was with a young girl.

Oscar Lopez said he's adding security cameras after a shoplifter pulled off some bold moves at the El Gigante Liquor #2 on Hialeah Boulevard recently.

Surveillance video from the store shows a woman swiping bottles in the company of a young girl. The woman stops, chats with a store clerk, then gives a peace sign before walking out.

"Being a father of two, I despise that, there's no way, shape or form you should do that to a little kid," said store clerk Rudy Abru.

"It's too much," said owner Oscar Lopez, who believes the young girl was there as a distraction.
