I've contacted Primark about the issue and I was told that it would only go to court (in aprox 6 months) if the RLP from Primark receive a police report from the incident (which they hadn't received, so it was probably archived). Later I called the police office and the officer basically told me to "forget about the incident and move on". So what I conclude is that if you have no criminal record, debts, etc, thus being your first time shoplifting AND if it's a small amount, the police in here will very likely archive the incident and no action will be taken.

I think Primark operates differently in Portugal. From what I've read, I'll receive a letter saying to go to court and then I'll probably have to pay a fine.

No, I mean I'm from Portugal living in Portugal. I just found this UK forum, basically.

"All Primark could claim from you IF they did decide to take you to a CIVIL court is the costs of any lost goods, a small adminicon fee and the court costs so they would look at around £100 tops." What about this that you stated? Also, is there any chance that the whole process is different in Portugal? I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but I'm a little worried (and ashamed as well).

Thank you so much! If I do get any letter I'll post it in here. So it's still possible that I receive a letter in order for me to go to a civil court and pay a small amount, from Primark? If so, it is likely that I receive such thing?

For sure I won't do such thing again... It was really dumb and stupid of me. The police can't prosecute me if I ignore the letters? I'm asking this because I gave my real address, number and I suppose they could track me down?

Thank you for the quick response!! I've been reading a few threads in here, but most don't involve the police... I figured it would make a difference, perhaps? What if it's a letter from Primark telling me to go to court?

Hello. Today I got caught shoplifting from Primark as I was making my way out. The RLP sent me to a small room in which they told me to put everything I stole on the chair next to me (total was about 44€ - I'm from Portugal). I did as I was told and then police came up after 20min. Then we went to the police office, they checked if I had any record of previous thefts, debts, etc (which I didn't). Then they told me I was free to go but I'd probably receive a letter from Primark to go to court. My questions are: what's more likely to happen - not receive a letter at all, receive a letter to go to court and/or pay a fine? Thank you so much for your attention
