Hi all... I have been caught shoplifting for the 3rd time, first I went with a warning, second I went through diversion and was not charged, now I have been caught for the third time, it was at Coles for $60 worth of food. and the loss prevention officer had called up the police to do a name check on me. They told me they had informed the cops but the cops were too busy to come, so they will let me go, and said the cops will call me at a later time so that I will do some "paperwork". I'm scared that I will be charged for this and then get a criminal record...
It is very stupid of me, to do this again...
I just wanted to know if they will actually call me ?? Is it possible that they can delay this and call me at a later time to arrest/charge me??
I also don't understand why some people just get "fines" for shoplifting , where as I have been charged and had to go through diversion/court in previous time.
Please advise... thank you..
