What is shoplifting?

Not sure what it means to be charged with shoplifting?  Criminal laws, including shoplifting laws, can be complex and confusing.

Consequences of shoplifting.

If you are convicted of shoplifting, penalties can include the following:

• Probation.
• Restitution orders.
• ines and victim surcharges.
• Jail time.
• Conditional sentences.
• Diversion programs (where the crown agrees to drop or stay the charges in exchange for your performance of community service).

A shoplifting conviction will leave you with a criminal record, which could have lasting effects on your family, career and ability to travel.
