    Question In Need Of Advice. Very Bad. 18 yrs old

    Today i got caught stealing from a store. The manager wanted to charge me but the security guards told me that since she left to go back to the store and left me with the guards outside where she chased me that they weren't going to charge me. I didn't take the merchandise out of the store, she caught me in the store and i gave it back and left right away. They told me to not shop there anymore. The police weren't involved. But i have had a charge before for young offenders, but since I'm 18 i don't have a criminal record unless i get into trouble within 3 years of my first charge. My question is: Are they still able to charge me after they let me go, since they have my name and address? Will it be added to my criminal record because of this? I am very worried, please post.

    Default Re: I Have a Criminal Record and I Got Caught Shoplifting

    Your story is confusing.

    You didn't leave the store. But..."left me with the guards outside where she chased me"

    Can you explain things better? We can help better when we can understand what happened.

    Did you sign any papers? Was your information and photo taken. Were police called?

    no, i didnt leave with the item. she caught me in the store. then i gave the item back to her, without leaving the store with it. and then i left to go out front of the mall. and she came with a security guard. i didnt sign papers, the police werent called. but the manager wanted to press charges. but since they let me go.. can they still charge me? they dont have my phone number, they only have my name and address.
