Hi,
Please can you help me and share some advice.
I stole from John Lewis recently and was caught in the shop. The Loss prevention team banned me from the shop, took my id and photo and searched my bag. When searching my bag I had another product which i took from another store. I told them which store it was from but didn’t say I stole it nor did they ask for my receipt but they did ask if I worked at the shop in question. I paid for the item which was from JL and then they took the receipt. I was quite shaken and didn’t ask what happens next as I was in a lot of shock which has left me with a lot of questions.
The police were not called at the time but I’m worried they’ll share my details with the other shop or with the police at a later stage. Also, would JL review their CCTV in all other stores too or just the one specific store? Does anyone have a similar experience, do they use facial recognition? It seems they don’t use facial recognition or biometrics on their policy but looks like there is debate that they haven’t updated their policy but do use it.
Has anyone had a similar situation, did it get escalated to the courts? I’m aware of the RLP letters based on the advice from other threads but I’m more concerned if it’ll go to court. I’ve not received any letters as of yet.
Any advice or support would be appreciated, understand how wrong this was of me and I’ll certainly never do it again but I’m hoping this community can help or at least help someone else who is reading this thread.
