Thanks guys. It's a relief to know I won't have to wait a long time. Feeling sick w anxiety

Weeks or months?

Hi, thanks for your reply. We dont have RLP here in Ireland, I think most shops tend to call the police and let them deal with it.

They would have CCTV evidence

Hi, I'm in Ireland. Thanks

I shoplifted in Boots the other day, but also made a purchase with my credit card, so I'm probably on CCTV, and they have my credit card details. I took approximately €30 worth of makeup, and as I was leaving the shop, I heard a shop assistant say "Excuse me!" I didn't even look to see if it was me who she was talking to, I just ran. I feel so terrible about both stealing and how dumb I was. If they decide to trace me using my credit card details, when should I expect a call from the police, a few weeks or months? The worry is driving me crazy.
