  • Accusation if shoplifting

    Hi...can someone help and advise.I'm hopefully worrying about nothing but..in the early hours of the morning approx 2.30am after finishing a night shift I went to the 24hr Asda to get a few bits...I had a basket and went round throwing in a few bits n bats...obviously the store was very quiet other than staff restocking shelves and maybe 1 or 2 more shoppers like myself.
    Well I grabbed a pair of tweezers and last time I bought a pair from the store they were useless so I didn't bother taking them back as they were only a few pounds so I binned them,so last night I removed the tweezers from the packet to check the nib end of them and if they were ok.I was satisfied with them so threw them in my basket and chucked the wrapper in a near by rubbish cage as they were restocking shelves down the aisles and throwing the empty boxes in as they did so.Now I realise what this looks like and how it seems but genuinely I was not gonna rob them...I was just gonna say at the manned checkout that they are £4.75 mate and I binned the wrapper so I could check them.
    As I went down other aisles and put more stuff in the basket roughly about £30 worth of goods the security guy appears holding the wrapper I had chucked in the rubbish cage.He asked what's going on to which I said ..hang on,I am going to pay for those..he then said he watched me on camera dispose of the wrapper to which I admitted and told him the tweezers where still in the basket as well as the other goods.He said that doesn't work for me and you will have to leave ....I questioned what he was doing and told him he was wrong but he said put the basket down and leave and basically followed me as I walked out.
    Now he didn't ask my name or address but I was wearing a work jacket with the name of the company I work for on it and as I left I got to the work van which is a hire van.
    Do I need to be worried that they will follow this up as in they may get in touch with the hire company and the hire company get in touch with my work and realise it's me...or am I simply overthinking this??...going mad with worry x

    I would say you have nothing to worry about. The security guard went about it the wrong way in my opinion.

    I doubt you will hear any more about it and as it’s a hire van I doubt they will apply for an exclusion order.
