Shoplifters Hit with $1,000 Fines After Friars Hill Road Supermarket Theft
A pair of shoplifters who attempted to steal more than $1,700 worth of merchandise from Epicurean Supermarket have each been ordered to pay $1,000 in fines.
Acting Chief Magistrate Dexter Wason imposed the penalties on Monday after both defendants entered guilty pleas to larceny charges stemming from the June 20 incident on Friars Hill Road.
Court proceedings revealed that the duo had concealed a variety of items throughout the store using handbags and shopping carts as cover for their theft.
The total value of the attempted theft exceeded $1,700. Both individuals accepted responsibility for their actions by pleading guilty when they appeared before the magistrate days after the incident.
Damn thief. Work for what all u want
Well that certainly wasn’t food for the children!.
What a nerve, don’t they realise that shops never lose, they just put up prices to cover their losses
The economy is hard. No reason to shiplift. But there are situations you ask yourself what else can i possibly do.
A supermarket as big as epicurean? The charge is a joke frl! These people should be charged a loan sumn
Well well. This is mad!! Not even the armed robbers wanna rob that supermarket and you wanna do it? This is hilarious
That $1,000 fine could’ve bought a lot of groceries. Maybe they should’ve just, you know, paid for them.
