Does my behavior constitute shoplifting?
Many of us narrowly define shoplifting or retail fraud as stealing items from a retail store by hiding them in our bags or clothing. The crime of shoplifting encompasses much more. Shoplifting charges in Rochester Hills also includes switching price tags to pay less for an item, returning stolen goods in exchange for cash, and using children to steal on your behalf. While it may not seem like an egregious crime, shoplifting leads to criminal prosecution and can result in jail time.
