Hi I was caught shoplifting in a department store for an amount under $150 and security stopped me after I had left.
I returned to the store and was completely embarrassed and felt very ashamed of myself.
Undercover security made me sign a trespass notice and banned me from the store for 12 months as well as made me sign a voluntary statement about taking the goods.
Police were called but no charges were filed.
However they have my personal details including address and I’m extremely worried they will later send me a court notice or police will decide to charge me later.
They let me pay for the goods and said I was lucky but I am sick with worry.
If anyone with legal knowledge can help I’d appreciate it.
