Florida woman caught shoplifting $1,000 worth of Walmart merchandise tells cops she was just playing a GAME - and giggles as she says it's 'really fun'

A Florida woman caught shoplifting over $1,000 worth of Walmart merchandise told cops she was just playing a 'game' as she giggled saying 'it was really fun.' 

Amber McCann, 30, was arrested by police at a Walmart store in Palm Coast, Florida on Monday, March 25, after walking out with a cart of stolen items worth $1,030. 

In bodycam footage released by The Flager County Sheriff's Office, one officer stops McCann outside of the Walmart parking lot and says, 'We're doing an investigation right now. Apparently someone walked out with ...'

'A cart? Yeah, that's me,' McCann replied to the office nonchalantly. 

McCann explained that she was playing a game called '21', which involves grabbing as much merchandise as possible and leaving without paying, attempting not to get caught. 

'It was a game I was playing,' she said. 'It's really, really fun!'

'Well it's not a game, it's theft,' a police officer told her. 'Okay, going to jail is fun.'

'I suppose. Am I going to jail?' she asked the officer. 

'We will see how much stuff you took,' the officer replied. 

'It's a lot of sh**,' McCann responded while laughing. 

In Florida, shoplifting $100 to $300 can result in a first degree misdemeanor, with up to 1 year in jail and $1,000 fine. 

Shoplifting $300 to $20,000 can result in a third degree felony, up to 5 years in prison and $5,000 fine - and over $20,000 is a second degree felony with up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. 

Initially, McCann claimed she placed the stolen items in a random car and left upon spotting police in the area. 

However, she later admitted the car belonged to her boyfriend, but claimed he knew nothing about the illegal activities she engaged in. 

'I thought you said it was a random car,' one officer said. 

'Yeah I know, I lied to you,' McCann replied.

'My boyfriend doesn't know that I steal. And he doesn't know that I put all this sh** in the car, neither,' McCann said. 'So I'm going to be really in trouble with him, but that's the thing.'

Upon searching McCann's boyfriend's vehicle, authorities found approximately $1,030 in stolen goods.

Police found illegal drugs in the car, including a digital scale, hashish, a glass pipe with burnt residue, and empty bags of marijuana, methamphetamine, and alprazolam. 

Inside a locked safe, deputies found various precious metal bars.

McCann is facing charges of grand theft, marijuana possession, hashish possession, alprazolam possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, and trafficking in methamphetamine.
