Speaker 1 (00:04):
I would not believe this story except there's video to
go with it. There's these people that broke into a
restaurant and they were there to rob it, but before
they robbed it, they decided to have sex inside the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
It's all on camera. It was after hours.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Was this an oyster bar?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It was after they left. It was the security camera
they were caught. This is in Scottsdale, in Arizona, the
Phoenix area, Scottsdale, and you know they put this, uh,
it's the mon Cherie. That's the name of the restaurant,
The Montcherie, My love, you're doing the pepulp.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Come away with me through the castog.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
That's in the Old Town section of Scottsdale, Phoenix, Arizona.
And I'm thinking to myself, why do they have to
use the word probed by Scottsdale police because that's what
is being probed.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Doesn't that depend on the camera angle?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I suppose security footage showed a man and a woman
entering the property engaging in sexual activity in a rose
flower decor photo wall near the patio. This is all
the video is out there. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
That's got to be public domain stuff. It's public record
evidence in a you know, crime, So.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
They were getting it on. They entered the restaurant, stole
the items. They stole about four hum and fifty dollars
in cash, an iPhone five? What's that worth? An iPhone
five for maybe five dollars? And that was used by staff,
supposedly a staff member. What the hell are they using
an iPhone five place?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
They still one of those You can't update them, No,
you can't.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
No. And then they took a bottle of liquor. They
damaged two doors and forced to open a cash cash register.
Alex Stone ABC News is joining us now and Alex

first part of the name of the restaurant.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
Is moan, you're so good man, look at you drugs?
Do you think we're involved in this? Who all love them?
Who burglarizes a restaurant? And then it's like, you know what, No, no,
they did it. It is Moan here. So what are
you saying?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
They broke in and then they were gonna rob it,
but before they did, they did that, then they finished
robbing it. Whenever I'm I don't have the energy at
that point to rob the play.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I'm like, I'm looking for a sandwich.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
They're calling him play on this, but not right now.
I don't want to go on over the air so.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
You can see it's there.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Bonnie and Clyde, Oh good lord, Why would.

They offend the memory of Bonnie and Clyde, two great
American criminals?
Speaker 1 (02:58):

ski cap.
Speaker 2 (03:25):

that you guys are having in La.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
So it's like derees, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Oh my gosh, this place looks so Arizona.
Speaker 2 (03:41):

a pink carpet leading to pink flowery way pink carpet.

And Samanda, this place looks great. Let's go in here.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
We'll turn the lights off for you.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
They go in and then they hear that music and
see the roses. They're like, well, you know what's next.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
May babe. I just felt my mustache bro really thick,
and I feel like cleaning a pool. So what that
music sounds like?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Wow? Well they posted this footage, by the way, on
social media saying, hey, it's clear facial images of these people.
So they're like, hey, is any man they're gonna find
me if they can find the people who, you know,
take a baseball from a kid at a game. And
then all of a sudden, you know, not only where
they work, where they live. They got the address, the
(04:58):
phone number of social se You already know they're gonna
find these people. They already probably have found him, I'm guessing.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
And I'm guessing there's some DNA that probably yeah, probably.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
After what they did.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Oh, I can't eat there now.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Maybe some strands of hair somewhere.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Ah so meaty whoa.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Anyway, I'm watching it right now, and then it looks
like he eats while he's there.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
He's chewing on something food.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, food, Okay, it's double checking. Yeah yeah, that is Uh,
that's crazy. I thought to myself. In this day and age,
you can't walk down the street without somebody's ring camera.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You know. They like, we saw you pick on your
nose last night when you were walking by.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
It's like, what I mean, these people are like going
in here and going you know what, once we get
nobody will see us.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Let's go in here because man, it's time, baby, it's time.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Like I say, got to be drugs involved, right, Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Absolutely absolutely, Maybe the what's that one that extas?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Maybe that Yeah, they're like they're like, oh these rose
petals feel amaze.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
That was not the drug. That was the goal. That's there.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Legendary is correct.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Yes, what did Jack type in to get that adult
music automatically?
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Like that? Oh?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Who knows? That's from his personal soundtrack.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
When he's driving home at night.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
But yeah, that was that was on my phone, you.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Know, And I was seeing some of these switching gears here,
you know, because the candy and the warning, Well, why
do these companies make weed candies, weed, you know, candy?
Why do they make it so close? And I guess
they get you know, they're getting publicity and all of that,
but at the same time, it feels like it's a
(06:49):
negative publicity that they're getting right now.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Well, yeah, but these aren't the real candy company.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well they look so, I got it, but they look
so close that the case and the companies, the the
THC candy companies, the weed company.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Why why would they do their packaging so close. It's
weird to me that they.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
I mean, I think it's the thing because then you
know what it's going to taste like, and you know
it's gonna be Dorito's or sour Patch Kids or Skittles.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
So so they do it.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
But you remember growing up at our time, it was
there's gonna be a razor blade in the chocolate bar.
And was there ever a razor blade in the chocolate bar?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Not once, not one time?
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Or a needle that you know that they're telling you
needle was going to be.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Or if it was in an apple, which that was
completely safe. No kids biting into an apple.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
No, they don't want that I don't want that.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
It's not going to be THC in there.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
You realize giving away candy at Halloween would cost you
like four hundred and seventy thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Weed gummy would have to be a mistake if you
did it that your kid went in and went, oh
these are work and you know, started giving those away.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
But so in.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Warren, Michigan and their warnings, In fact, your governor has
been warning about this stuff as well. But Arkansas, Michigan,
a lot of different places is that they're saying they're
seeing this stuff come up. But in Warren, Michigan, they
did a bus recently found a bunch of this candy
and they say that it's got a ton of THC
in it, or it can be psychedelic mushrooms in them,
(08:11):
and they look really, really real, and police saying we.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
Thought for ourselves, well, if a group of trained investigators
looked at this and didn't pay any attention, what's your
average hiding to do on Halloween? And we just felt
we wanted to get this message out there to parents
and children to be vigilant this Halloween season.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Now, you're right, I don't know how it would get
into the Halloween bag. It would have to be by
mistake or it would be really nefarious. If somebody's saying
hanging to make some kids really really sick, they would
put it in there. But the maker of trolley and
then nerds telling us are deeply worried about their candy packaging,
the imagery being used, and these look alike logos, but
the items are counterfeit. They're often sold at gas stations
(08:50):
and less reputable convenience stores, not like Walgreens and CBS,
but you know the convenience stores of those gas stations
in certain areas of town that you go in and
they would be in there, and police that look that
something will be off. It could be the color, it
could be the smell, the words that are misspelled on it.
Some of them will have warnings on them of the
amount of THHC or psychedelics.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
That are in there. But the police say that they
look really.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Close, look for unusual symbols, unusual orders, anything that may
indicate this isn't normal.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
And people have seen these things in the stores. They say,
they do look really close.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
They do that.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Then they agree with you Mark that they don't understand
why they do it, but they look really close.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I don't know if they're trying to advertise to a
younger generation or what, but that looks craze.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
And that is it.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
The younger generation goes, oh, these are going to taste
like sour Patch kids or Dorito's or whatever they're being
sold as, and then they get them. But Arkansas's tobacco
control board that they're putting out warnings right now, Ohio
is Michigan is So this is something going around, But
what is the chance. It seems more likely that maybe
at school a kid would find something at home and
(09:55):
be like here, you know, here's a sour patch kid,
and then accidentally share them. But being handed out how
police say it's a possibility, But is it going to
go on?
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I am going to really really monitor post Halloween to
see how many of stories happen where they're like, well,
and these kids ended up eating this accidentally. I bet
you we don't even have one instance, or if we do,
it literally will be one or two in the entire
United States. If you think about the you know, millions
(10:25):
of kids who are going to be trick or treating
and all that. And certainly, don't get me wrong, it's
definitely worth mentioning and all of that. But I think
by and large, especially as much as they shine a
bright spotlight on this, that any parents who have this
type stuff in their home are going to work extra
hard to keep it out of the kid's trick or
treat bags, which I suppose is what they're after here, right.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
And you'd hope and you know, those parents spend a
lot of money on that stuff, and they're going to
put it up high and make sure that the kids
aren't around it. You hope, I said.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
What you did there?
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Yea, So may not be a real thing, but but
police are.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Warning, yeah, yeah, this is this is one of those
things that I suppose that the higher end of like
in other words, the gummies that are packaged in some
of these like that look like the is it trolley?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Is that how you're saying?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
That trolley in the nerves bear gummy bears and and
like the one that you know look like a Dorito's bag.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
And those are not on the lower end.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
As far as pricing goes, because think about the packaging,
just the packaging and all of that, you would think
that it's kind of elevates, if you will.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
The marijuana the price. Yeah, it's gonna cost somebody a
lot of money.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I've never seen those here locally. But
like when they did the this, uh like the story
for this, I saw some of this packaging, and that's
what I was telling you, Alex, I'm like, it is
it looks identical.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
It looks Yeah, some of it, they'll they'll spell the
name a little bit differently. Some of it it's exactly
the same the way they I'm surprised that the companies
that make the real products haven't gone harder against these
fake ones. But they are made on the black markets,
so maybe they haven't been able to go after them.
But if you are the candy maker or the chip maker,
it seems like you'd really want to shut that down.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
How much do you guys typically spend on trigger treatment
and a lot.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
We've got so many bags from Costco right now. Yeah,
we get so many trip No. I mean we go
for the the real We.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Don't do the full size, well not full size.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
But I don't see Alex as a bit of honey
person either, chuck kind of here. No, I don't see
that because we buy the stuff that if we don't
give it all out it's stuff we like.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Too, then you're gonna eat it.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, well, and that's just it.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I mean we we very well could be you know,
it could be July and I'm like, hey, uh, do
you think this is still safe?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:55):
I'm totally there.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
I've opened up a candy that you're like, I wonder
how many Halloweens ago this year? Like in my kids,
you know, they've got a little container of stuff and
you open it up in the chocolate's like light brown
and kind of dusty, and you're like, it's probably fine.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
It doesn't have a lot of flavor, but it works.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Hey, the Snickers is green.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
What do you think it's fine? Go ahead and need it.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You know what I gotta send you when we uh,
when we hang up, Alex, I'm gonna I'm gonna hunt
it down in my phone and I got to send
this to you from a couple of years ago. Stone
had When you see how he had this organized. He had,
once upon a time had bunk beds in his room,
and there there are drawers across the bottom bunk, and
and he always slept on the bottom bunk, but there
(13:35):
are drawers that were you know underneath, way do I
show you. I gotta find it and I'll send you
the pictures he had. It looked like something off of
like Cribs, like where they open the fridge and it's
all labels out. Everything looks all night you you're gonna
die laughing. When you're gonna crack up, You're gonna crack up.
I just was like, oh my gosh, I'm raising a
(13:56):
serial killer, you know. I was like, it's like, what
is he doing? And what's funny is like we get
into the spring and literally there's some left you can
tell what wasn't his favorite.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
It kind of was still there like April or May.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
He knows where his candy is. He's got it all organized.
Good for him.
Speaker 2 (14:13):

I mean, I think it's the thing because then you
know what it's going to taste like, and you know
it's gonna be Dorito's or sour Patch Kids or Skittles.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
So so they do it.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
But you remember growing up at our time, it was
there's gonna be a razor blade in the chocolate bar.
And was there ever a razor blade in the chocolate bar?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Not once, not one time?
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Or a needle that you know that they're telling you
needle was going to be.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Or if it was in an apple, which that was
completely safe. No kids biting into an apple.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
No, they don't want that I don't want that.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
It's not going to be THC in there.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
You realize giving away candy at Halloween would cost you
like four hundred and seventy thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Weed gummy would have to be a mistake if you
did it that your kid went in and went, oh
these are work and you know, started giving those away.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
But so in.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Warren, Michigan and their warnings, In fact, your governor has
been warning about this stuff as well. But Arkansas, Michigan,
a lot of different places is that they're saying they're
seeing this stuff come up. But in Warren, Michigan, they
did a bus recently found a bunch of this candy
and they say that it's got a ton of THC
in it, or it can be psychedelic mushrooms in them,
(08:11):
and they look really, really real, and police saying we.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
Thought for ourselves, well, if a group of trained investigators
looked at this and didn't pay any attention, what's your
average hiding to do on Halloween? And we just felt
we wanted to get this message out there to parents
and children to be vigilant this Halloween season.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Now, you're right, I don't know how it would get
into the Halloween bag. It would have to be by
mistake or it would be really nefarious. If somebody's saying
hanging to make some kids really really sick, they would
put it in there. But the maker of trolley and
then nerds telling us are deeply worried about their candy packaging,
the imagery being used, and these look alike logos, but
the items are counterfeit. They're often sold at gas stations
(08:50):
and less reputable convenience stores, not like Walgreens and CBS,
but you know the convenience stores of those gas stations
in certain areas of town that you go in and
they would be in there, and police that look that
something will be off. It could be the color, it
could be the smell, the words that are misspelled on it.
Some of them will have warnings on them of the
amount of THHC or psychedelics.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
That are in there. But the police say that they
look really.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Close, look for unusual symbols, unusual orders, anything that may
indicate this isn't normal.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
And people have seen these things in the stores. They say,
they do look really close.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
They do that.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Then they agree with you Mark that they don't understand
why they do it, but they look really close.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I don't know if they're trying to advertise to a
younger generation or what, but that looks craze.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
And that is it.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
The younger generation goes, oh, these are going to taste
like sour Patch kids or Dorito's or whatever they're being
sold as, and then they get them. But Arkansas's tobacco
control board that they're putting out warnings right now, Ohio
is Michigan is So this is something going around, But
what is the chance. It seems more likely that maybe
at school a kid would find something at home and
(09:55):
be like here, you know, here's a sour patch kid,
and then accidentally share them. But being handed out how
police say it's a possibility, But is it going to
go on?
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I am going to really really monitor post Halloween to
see how many of stories happen where they're like, well,
and these kids ended up eating this accidentally. I bet
you we don't even have one instance, or if we do,
it literally will be one or two in the entire
United States. If you think about the you know, millions
(10:25):
of kids who are going to be trick or treating
and all that. And certainly, don't get me wrong, it's
definitely worth mentioning and all of that. But I think
by and large, especially as much as they shine a
bright spotlight on this, that any parents who have this
type stuff in their home are going to work extra
hard to keep it out of the kid's trick or
treat bags, which I suppose is what they're after here, right.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
And you'd hope and you know, those parents spend a
lot of money on that stuff, and they're going to
put it up high and make sure that the kids
aren't around it. You hope, I said.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
What you did there?
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Yea, So may not be a real thing, but but
police are.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Warning, yeah, yeah, this is this is one of those
things that I suppose that the higher end of like
in other words, the gummies that are packaged in some
of these like that look like the is it trolley?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Is that how you're saying?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
That trolley in the nerves bear gummy bears and and
like the one that you know look like a Dorito's bag.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
And those are not on the lower end.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
As far as pricing goes, because think about the packaging,
just the packaging and all of that, you would think
that it's kind of elevates, if you will.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
The marijuana the price. Yeah, it's gonna cost somebody a
lot of money.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I've never seen those here locally. But
like when they did the this, uh like the story
for this, I saw some of this packaging, and that's
what I was telling you, Alex, I'm like, it is
it looks identical.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
It looks Yeah, some of it, they'll they'll spell the
name a little bit differently. Some of it it's exactly
the same the way they I'm surprised that the companies
that make the real products haven't gone harder against these
fake ones. But they are made on the black markets,
so maybe they haven't been able to go after them.
But if you are the candy maker or the chip maker,
it seems like you'd really want to shut that down.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
How much do you guys typically spend on trigger treatment
and a lot.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
We've got so many bags from Costco right now. Yeah,
we get so many trip No. I mean we go
for the the real We.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Don't do the full size, well not full size.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
But I don't see Alex as a bit of honey
person either, chuck kind of here. No, I don't see
that because we buy the stuff that if we don't
give it all out it's stuff we like.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Too, then you're gonna eat it.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, well, and that's just it.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I mean we we very well could be you know,
it could be July and I'm like, hey, uh, do
you think this is still safe?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:55):
I'm totally there.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
I've opened up a candy that you're like, I wonder
how many Halloweens ago this year? Like in my kids,
you know, they've got a little container of stuff and
you open it up in the chocolate's like light brown
and kind of dusty, and you're like, it's probably fine.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
It doesn't have a lot of flavor, but it works.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Hey, the Snickers is green.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
What do you think it's fine? Go ahead and need it.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You know what I gotta send you when we uh,
when we hang up, Alex, I'm gonna I'm gonna hunt
it down in my phone and I got to send
this to you from a couple of years ago. Stone
had When you see how he had this organized. He had,
once upon a time had bunk beds in his room,
and there there are drawers across the bottom bunk, and
and he always slept on the bottom bunk, but there
(13:35):
are drawers that were you know underneath, way do I
show you. I gotta find it and I'll send you
the pictures he had. It looked like something off of
like Cribs, like where they open the fridge and it's
all labels out. Everything looks all night you you're gonna
die laughing. When you're gonna crack up, You're gonna crack up.
I just was like, oh my gosh, I'm raising a
(13:56):
serial killer, you know. I was like, it's like, what
is he doing? And what's funny is like we get
into the spring and literally there's some left you can
tell what wasn't his favorite.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
It kind of was still there like April or May.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
He knows where his candy is. He's got it all organized.
Good for him.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
So funny, man. I was like, you're hilarious anyway.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Alex Stone, ABC News out of Los Angeles, Alex, thank
you very much.
