PFD attached Apologies PDF is on its side. But should be easy enough to rotate. Quality looks readable to me. Will try and get him to send the original. Also, in the original message i said my friend was an accountant. Apparently he says he's got an audit to do at the Met Police and they ask all third parties to fill in an NPPV2 form (it wont let me post this but you can google it and its the first hit) He filled in the form and he says it got rejected. However, apparently it is normal for it to be rejected because things like addresses need to completely correlate in chronological order. In saying that he was worried that it could be because of this incident. So the question is would the Met Police have access to this information? Full page photo.pdf

Hi, Just to keep you updated. My friend has received two letters from the RLP requesting payment. I can post the letters here if you need me to. As per your advice the letters have been ignored.

Thank you for all of your informative information. I will inform you if my friend receives a letter and advise them to ignore it accordingly. Once again, thank you. Regards

First of all thanks for moving this post to the right place. Sorry about that. My friend said it was the Police Community Support Officer that informed him that because his position involves a duty of care and there is a code of ethics to abide by then the employer may need to be informed. This makes sense to me as if it was someone like an MP then surely that would result in automatic dismissal. Like I say because it was my friend's first offence and he was honest no charges were made. But surely the Police Community Support Officer has contacts with the police who can then inform the employer. My friend said they took their national insurance number as well as the details from his drivers licence. So I thought that the NI number would be used to identify his employment. Furthermore if they ignore the RLP letters can't the security team of the shop then contact the police to make the arrest and subsequent charge. Apologies if my questions sound silly. I've just got my friend in a panic and wanted to offer some reassurance. I should say that my friend is more worried about his employer knowing as he may be excluded as a member from the accountancy body.

Hi One of my friends was caught shoplifting today with goods worth about £50. They took him into the security office where he admitted it. They said that they would not inform the police and therefore would not be charged. RLP would be involved and they would issue a civil penalty fine. A police community support officer was called in as well. My friend is an accountant and they said that they might have to contract the employer. Is this allowed? My friend is worried sick so I said I would investigate the issue for him. I told my friend that the employer would probably be contacted as accountant is a similar position to something like a doctor where you need ethics. Cheers a4007035
