Hi,
3 days ago I were detained for "an offence of theft".
I left the store (a Debenhams) with a small perfume bottle + watch in my pocket.
I'know that i have done a big mistake in my life I can't deny.
2 men along with a security officer was outside and brought me inside a small room
.They took the products back and they threatened me of calling police and finally they asked my ID (I'm not english, I'm from another country in EU), asked me for proof of identification
,I gave my DL and they took my EU address and asked me to sign the papers.I said them a correct address
. They didn't call the police and they told me that i am banned from the entire shopping mall as well as they gave me a banned letter along with a RLP copy.
Finally they told me that i wil be receiving a letter from RLP within a week.
I have no excuses for what I did but I'm worried and I don't want to destroy my life in UK.
So, I have many questions:
1) Will they give my details to police?
2) Will be leaving to my country,next week --> Will there be any detention in airport ?
3) Since i am for a short visit to UK,Would I have any problems to return in UK in the future(Related to VISA and UK on arrival verification)?
4) could I have any problems with a job?
5) the value was around £108 thats what they had mentioned,
how much could be the fine?
if it isn't too much I could pay and close the case (so I punish myself for what I did)
Please help me on this,
Since I am really tensed and
Please let me know about RLP(Since they have taken the product back,Will they impose a hefty fine and will they put me in jail ??)
