"Individuals such as Aziza Graves commit egregious thefts through brazen and repeated conduct that greatly impacts retailers' ability to operate and serve the public...These crimes demand accountability." - District Attorney Brooke Jenkins
The Scam:

- Enter the Target in San Francisco.
- Bring items to self-checkout.
- Scan items and insert a single coin or bill.

She was convicted of 52 counts of petty theft and one felony count of grand theft. KRON-TV reported she stole over $60,000 worth of merchandise.
