Shoplifting

> Shoplifting is theft.

> Shops have the right to protect themselves against it and use highly sophisticated methods to catch people.

> Shops have the right to refuse admission or to ask you to leave.

> Store detectives and security guards can make a citizens arrest if they think that someone has committed an offence, but they cannot search you unless you agree.

> If the police are called you can be held in the shop until they arrive. If this happens, it's best to wait quietly and to say nothing.

> Just don't do it. It's not worth it.

> A criminal record stays with you a very long time.
