Auckland City Police have completed enquiries into a shoplifting in late 2024.
The shoplifting occurred at the Pak N Save in Royal Oak on 12 October 2024, and was reported to Police for investigation electronically using the Auror platform.
Police have carried out enquiries into the report and a decision has been made to not file charges.
Any Police investigation considers the Solicitor-General’s Guidelines for Prosecution, including factors such as evidential sufficiency and a public interest test.
In this case, Police have considered the public interest test was not met as well as taking other factors into account. The store has also been consulted on this decision.
For context, the item taken was valued at less than $40.
