I have a best friend that was caught shoplifting at one store and they took her in and did all the normal stuff. Yesterday though the police showed up at her door looking for evidence that could have possibly been taken at another store and that is where I am confused.

This other store I was with her but had no idea because it was done while I was in another part of the store. When she walked out they did not stop her or question at all.

My questions are:

When walking out of a store dont they have to confront you then and not several weeks later about it?

I guess they can confront her now because she was caught at another store of that chain.

For the store that she walked out of with merchandise and did not get caught, they did a search warrant.

I am so worried about her more then about myself right now.

Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
