What won’t people do for social media views? Police in Pennsylvania say two people hid inside a Target store and remained there for hours after it closed. They may have even gotten away with it if they hadn’t filmed their activities and posted them on YouTube in a video titled “24 Hour Overnight Challenge in Target.” Police say 24-year-old Charlotte Fischer, and 25-year-old Johnson Larose, built a fort in the Exton store and then filmed themselves wandering around inside after employees left. Police say the pair left the store at 3 a.m. on February 21st, triggering an alarm, then returned at 8 a.m. to resume filming, pretending they had been in the store all night. Target employees found surveillance video of the pair the next day. Police say they didn’t take anything from the store, but the investigation that ensued wasted police and Target resources. The two have been charged with third-degree criminal trespassing and conspiracy, and could face a maximum sentence of seven years in prison. In addition, their bail conditions ban them from every Target outlet in the state.
