Confronting the sales associate with your knowledge is the best course of action in this situation. It is important to address the situation and bring it to their attention in a professional manner. Ignoring the behavior could potentially make you complicit, and reporting it to the police without addressing the associate first could escalate the situation beyond what is necessary. It is important to give the sales associate the chance to explain their behavior and take responsibility for their actions.
