    Default Group Shoplifting

    My 16 year old was arrested today at a Krogers. He picked up two packages of spree candy - one for him and one he handed to a friend. The friend opened his package of spree candy and ate a piece before paying. My son had an unopened bag of chips and an unopened spree package, but was with the other kid - so faced the same charge. They were not leaving the store and my son had nothing concealed - according to Kroger's report. So, I got to see my "perfect" kid in the back of a cop car and hear a cop say Kroger screwed up, by calling this in, but I still have to go through the Juvinile court system. Will this cost me money? State is KY. Does Kroger's have grounds by charging eveyone in a group? Last catch - the police report does not match the report I signed in Krogers security office - and Kroger refused to give me a copy of what I signed. The police report says "they opened candy, they ate candy, they concealed packaged, and they attempted to leave store." I feel helpless and have no money to fight Goliath.

    Who stopped the kids, the store manager or loss prevention. Your son can be charged with accessory.

    Thanks for the replies. This might seem trivial, but really is a huge isssue for us.
    Risk management stopped them. And told me he had to charge both - that is how Kroger does it. They said I will see a copy of their report at court. I can't believe Kroger is acting this way all over a piece of candy. Police, courts, paperwork, etc... all costing taxpayers.

    And shoplifting cost consumers it works both ways. I am unclear about your story sorry but its not clear. However if your son was aware of theft and stood by hes guilty as well.

    I don't understand how they can prove that the boys were not going to pay for the candy. If that is the facts then it sounds pretty weak to me. However if the boy did "conceal" the merchandise that is a totally different story.



    p.s. relax Panther not everyone needs the morality lecture you give them.

    KY have implied intent? I know in NJ once you conceal no matter where you are in the store it's implied that you intend to deprive the merchant permanently...they probably passed the point of sale anyways
