Hi there,
I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.
You need to give the police a statement and explain exactly what happened! Tell the police that they can visit the store and see the security footage, or such like, to see that she was with you when you sold the stuff.
