Thank you all very much for your responses. I've told her to avoid that tk maxx for a while. I've also recommended she seek some legal advice if she's really that worried; however, as it is her first offence and she was unsuccessful at it she might not really have that much to worry about. Just hope she never does I again. I think she missed her mess that day as it's very unlike her. Thanks again!

Thanks very much for your response. It's much appreciated. Dodgeball I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying that if she goes back in there with legitimate intentions that they can have her arrested even if she hasn't committed a second offence?

Tk Maxx, I'm sorry, I thought I stated that.

Hi there A friend of mine put some clearance stickers over two full prices pairs I jeans and attempted to pay for them. The clerk noticed and peeled off the red stickers and asked her colleague to check whether the original price had been discounted. My friend played dumb and was never asked nor accused of swapping by the clerk and she then went on to purchase one pair of the jeans (at full price) as well as some other items she intended to buy (also at full price) and then walked out of the store with no one following to apprehend her. My friend saw the clerk write something down on a notepad with various headings. She thinks it was details of the items but can't be sure. The book had other entries, assuming many others have tried the same. My question is.. As they didn't apprehend her then, but did know that the prices were changed, can they review CCTV footage and have her arrested by the police? It wouldn't be that hard for them to find surely as the clerk may have made a note of the time when it happened...? My friend is sick with worry that the police are going to knock on her door or put her picture in the local paper for identification. Any advice would be appreciated.
