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 store with him and was unsure what he talking about.
I searched through my reusable bags and realised the $2 unpaid item was in there. I of course panicked and then he asked for my ID and the item. A lady asked me to follow her in a room. I didn’t know what was going on. We had to wait for the man to come back and they told me that the item was $2 and that I have to sign a trespass notice.
The man or woman didn’t ID themselves and then they told me that they would get the police involved. I signed the form (as I wasn’t sure and scared that police would be called) and left. I was apologetic and had no idea the item was in my bags. Is there any way I can fight the trespass notice or not?
Thank you.
