Cleveland, OH asked in Criminal Law for Ohio

Q: Hi there... I got caught shoplifting at giant eagle and the theft loss and prevention guy stopped me.

He stated I needed to come back inside, I just left the cart and went to my vehicle and left. He took a picture of the license plate but it isn't my vehicle. I don't want them to get in trouble. Will the cops be showing up at their house? Please help

A: Hello. If the police got a good picture to capture the license plate, then I believe the person that owns that car will be getting a visit from local law enforcement. If you need an attorney please feel free to call Attorney Linda Malek (330)819-8018 or Attorney Chris Vogt (330) 703-6467.
