Shop Rite Shop llifting Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft

With your admission above, you elevated a simple mistake to a crime.
Keep your mouth shut about this.

 

Not sure why you would identify the store by name AND location in a public forum, but no one here is likely to know anything about the loss prevention practices of this company or particular store. Nor is it likely that anyone here knows the likelihood that the local police in your area will make an arrest based on a shoplifting report.

One thing I noted about your post is that you didn't mention whether the loss prevention person took your name and contact info. Rather obviously, if he didn't, then there would be no way for the store to report you to the police and for an arrest to result.

 

Well, 3 items does stretch credulity quite a bit, especially when you have to take each item out of the cart, place it on the scanner, then bag it. Hard to miss 3 items that don't get scanned.

You were very lucky that the incident didn't escalate into something more serious. Be more careful from now on.
