Caught While Shoplifting in Stockholm First Time
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Stockholm
I was caught by a security guard in a super market while coming out 3 days back. They called police and they found out the stuff worth of 700 SEK( food items). It happened accidentally while I came out for a trolley because the weight was heavy in my hand. It was the first time and I am very depressed now. what are the consequences of the case? I am not a swede. I am going to my home country for a vacation in 3 weeks.
they said you will hear about this soon.
And I have no idea what punishment or penalty am gonna suffer.
thanks in advance

Hello,
This is a US-based site.
If the laws in Stockholm are anything like in the US, I would be cancelling my trip, to avoid missing court and having a warrant placed for my arrest.

That aside, there's a reason we tell you on the posting form that we handle US LAW ONLY. We cannot help you, you will need to consult counsel in Sweden.
