Hi, I got caught shoplifting at coles. Not sure how much I had but it was a lot. I got pulled outside of coles by 2 undercover ladies with badges on (I’m not sure if they were police or something else). They were kind enough to let me go, I just had to return al the items and I left like how I...

Hi All. My query relates to being caught shoplifting at Coles recently, value totalling about $40.00 AUD. A regular staff member at checkout asked to check my bag just AFTER I paid for a few items using my bank card and loyalty card. I agreed to let her check my bag and she asked me whether I...

Hi, I was caught for stealing $40 worth of items. They took my ID and a picture of me and made me sign a 12 month trespass notice. There was no police involvement. The security explained that I will be in their database for 12 months. What will this mean? Will my name be completely cleared from...

If you get caught shoplifting at Coles and they get your details to be put in the database (as what the security guard said), how long will it stay there for? And if the police had given a written warning (cautioned), is it a criminal record under your name?

Hi. I just received a 12-month trespass notice from Coles because I didn’t realise I had a $2 item hiding in between my reusable bags. As I left the store after paying for my other items, a guy flashed a badge (I assumed he was a police officer) and he questioned me about it. I walked in the...

Hi all, I was caught shoplifting at Coles earlier worth $18. Once I left the store, a shop assistant asked me to come with him to the back office. There I was questioned by a police and issued a fine of $300 (he gave me a fine ticket just like a speeding fine ticket on the spot). But on top of...

Help! I was caught shoplifting about $65 worth of things from Coles (Queensland) earlier today. First time ever (last time ever). To be honest, I don’t know why I did it. I’ve been stressed, exhausted and things are tight - still no excuse. I got stopped by 2 plain clothes officers and then...
