Simon, the owner said, then came to the front, paused for a moment and returned to the back of the store, stole another pack of Virgin Hair weave from the middle aisle, folded the two she had already stolen and came back to the front, used the child to hide the bag, and left the store without paying for the hidden items.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26631\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/viconsortium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/diamond-girl.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26631\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-26631\" src=\"https:\/\/viconsortium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/diamond-girl-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Diamond Girl Hair &amp; Beauty Supply's entrance, located in the United Shopping Plaza.\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wp.viconsortium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/diamond-girl-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wp.viconsortium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/diamond-girl-600x337.jpg 600w, http:\/\/wp.viconsortium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/diamond-girl-620x350.jpg 620w, http:\/\/wp.viconsortium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/diamond-girl.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-26631\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diamond Girl Hair &amp; Beauty Supply&#8217;s entrance, located in the United Shopping Plaza.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;I was not going to call the police, but because she was so bold like she didn&#8217;t care, I decided to call them,&#8221; said the store owner, who made the move to contact authorities after viewing the footage of the incident himself.
