Theft under $5000 from two stores, 18, Canada
A few weeks ago, I was caught shoplifting at a clothing store, a tshirt that costed under $20. The cashiers called security and they took me back to their office and searched my bags, and found another tshirt that I have taken from a separate store. I do have fingerprint and court dates arranged that I have to attend. I was just wondering if the judge/crown will be more serious about this case because I have shoplifted twice in the same day. Will I still be able to be up for diversion? This is my first offence, so usually I've read that people can have a chance at a diversion program, but I'm not really sure about this, because I have been charged for two separate stores. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your help, my court date is in 3 weeks or so.
Crossing US Border, Theft under 5000 withdrawn charge
I got my charges withdrawn today for theft under 5000. Is this an absolute discharge?
I am also travelling to Hawaii in 3 days, and I don't know if it will show in the CPIC. Will a withdrawn charge cause the US to stop me from entering the states? What are the chances that I will be held back in Canada?
