A Las Vegas shoplifter was caught on video bragging she'd never be caught and laughing as she brazenly snatched items off store shelves – but soon got busted by city police.
"They’ll never catch me," the woman said while stealing from a convenience store on South Las Vegas Boulevard in January, the video shows.
The woman could also be heard laughing as she walked away.
The video helped identify 51-year-old Nicole Waters as the suspect after it was posted online by the department, police said.

In a Wednesday Facebook post, Las Vegas police announced Waters was located on March 16 a few blocks away from the Las Vegas Strip and arrested.
"As a reminder: don’t steal things," the police department wrote.
