Hi All,
I’ve been reading through this forum to see if I can gain any advice regarding my criminal matter and thought I would sign up and just post a question.
Here are the relevant details and I would appreciate advice, experience, likelihood, anything that could assist me.
-managed a retail store for 2 and a half years
-stole product worth $35,000 (value) $12,000 (cost).
-way I stole was I created fake sales (which weren’t picked up for a long time) and then took the product.
-I also created fake sales (selling product that we didn’t physically have, whether that be inventory discrepencies/external theft) for no reason than to ‘boost sales’ and avoid negative stock take results.
-towards the end of my employment I started to create fake refunds, which totalled around $4000. Which ultimately led to dismissal.
-total theft amount $40,000 (value) $17,000 cost.
Other factors include
-I was arrested and given a caution in the UK 13 years ago (when I was 18) for theft as an employee (amount less than $150).
-I returned about $3000 worth of product I had.
-I have offered to repay multiple times, but advised to cease any communication.
-I am a British citizen, and have been in Victoria for just over 5 years on a partner visa.
Events
-I was interviewed by a PI, manager and HR manager mid December.
-suspended and then terminated two weeks later.
-during that time I have hired a lawyer.
-I haven’t heard anything since.
I am wondering about the following
-time of arrest (it’s been 3 and a half months)
-likleihood of police knocking on my door or calling me to come in?
-sentencing outcomes
Any advice, comments would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the length (I’ve noticed not many posters give details and therefore get limited response).
Thank you!
