In a voluntary police interview waiting for court been waiting nearly a year which i understand Due to circumstances of the world at the moment i didnt do it for gain for. Me i used it. To pay stuff for kids and school to help out my. Family as my working tax was paid low due to my. Manager forcing me. To. Do overtime i accept all thos and know i was a. Idiot and also nearly lost my. Kids and partner due to it iam now a stay at home. Dad i never had any thing like this before never been in trouble.

Depends to some extent on your record - were you of good character before this? Sentence could be anything from a community order to custody.

[Djmikey666]

Yes never been in trouble with police never done anything like it before

[islandgirl]

Then the answer is yes, there is a chance you will not go to Jail! Is the sentencing hearing at magistrates?

Hi its not gone courts yet i had the pc who did the interview come yesturday and i signed for a simple caution how long from. Now will it take to go courts and and it meant to go to court not local court but other one not sure of name might be magistrates

If you accepted a simple caution the matter will not be going to court.

However you do now have a criminal record, which may affect certain aspects of your life

Did you have a solicitor with you at court?

As Des said, if you agreed to a caution then it will not go to court but it may show on a DBS check. However a caution is automatically spent so you do not have to disclose it under normal circumstances.

However, if you received a caution for 1 case of theft and then another comes up you could be rearrested. If this happens , do not say anything and ask for the duty solicitor

Use this if you have more details

So all you have to do is follow police instructions.

CRS will be looking to payment being made regularly, and every now and again ask you to increase the amount you are paying.
Don't agree to an increase unless you are sure you can keep to the increase.
Your family needs come first!
