Hello
Unsure if I should start my own thread but my situation is very similar to LouisaFort in that I was caught shoplifting in M&S almost 4 weeks ago. I walked out with trolley containing mostly food items and a couple of home items, totalling apx £140. The security guard stopped me outside the store and took me into an office where I gave him my personal details and he said he was recording our discussion. I apologised as have money and could pay for the items but in my panic didn’t offer to do so. Police weren’t involved and he said I was banned from the store for 2 years, and would receive a letter from M&S as systems were down. I still haven’t received anything at all and am so anxious that every time I hear a car or there’s a knock on the door I think it’s the police. Whilst again no excuse for my behaviour, I’ve been very unwell for sometime with severe depression and taking medication for 8 months. I have been a customer of M&S for over 40 years and have their credit card spending an average of over £3500 per year. I don’t know what came over me and have never been involved with the police.
i am so embarrassed and sick with worry and hoping that someone can advise if this long wait has happened before and if I should make contact either with the police or M&S.
Thank you for any help or advice
