Friends of mine were shopping in a supermarket yesterday and were arrested for shoplifting. Packet of toilet rolls hanging on the back of the trolley were not paid for, Female friend hung them on the trolley and male friend was pushing the trolley out of the store when they were stopped by store detective. Police called, both of them arrested and formally charged.
What would happen next? My friend is in a right state about it and thinking they may not get their visa now for a holiday to America in 9 weeks. Would this be a possibility?
Thanks in advance.
