Stole from m&s very worried

[dx100uk]

no the police will not be involved.

p'haps you should have thought a bit more about your child before you started this spate of repeated premeditated shop lifting....

all very well having worries for their future afterwards as some kind of excuse for being allowed to do it and continue to get off scot free.

i see where you are going..but..

the store staff (wages expense) hours to search (if still existing) CCTV footage was available far out weighs the loss via the 'thefts'.

and any later external scammers like RLP/DWF etc can never have such access under GDPR.

what really disturbs me is the OP's historic attitude.

the police will not be involved nor will you ever hear from them...end of no if's or buts.

this is a very very low level matter to them. IF they ever would get involved they would simply refer the matter back to M&S stating should they wish M&S themselves could deal with this under the civil court system. but ofcourse they wont.

its a daily incident carried out by 100's of people across the country each day.

prison...NO NO NO NO.

pers im rather more concerned by:

I've not seen any responses on forums to what had happened to them after being caught and contacted by the police.

you weren't stopped at the time on the day, so the police would not be the first point of contact to you now. never seen nor heard of the police knocking on doors.

But I've seen plenty of articles with people getting weeks and months in prison for stealing food/drinks

mostly gang members AND the police were called when caught in store.

there is a couple that says the cctv was sent to police and they tracked them down.

i very much doubt that unless it was for £100's or £1000's of in store theft. yours is not serious to them. and over many occasions. not worth the staff time to find them all and tot up your total 'theft' .

the more I read about this stuff the more i think I'm screwed.

nope.

they dont even know who you are and the store/security staff most certainly under LAWS cannot pass your details on to anyone other than the police.

if these RLP/DWF retail loss scammers latterly write i'd be seriously questioning their GDPR right to do this. never ever heard of it ever happening .

i used to work with in store/shopping centre security CCTV for +25yrs. never once did this happen to a joe public on theft that wasnt +£1000's worth.
