I have admitted picking up a phone and putting it into my bag after finding it but not admitted to wanting or trying to keep it, therefore a caution is not an option. What will happen now? The police states that it will probably go to court and tell me I may need a solicitor.

What is the statute of limitations for an offense of theft in the UK?
The UK has NO statute of limitations with regard to criminal offences. In short, you can be arrested and taken to court for an indefinite time after the offence was committed. The closest thing to a statute is the UK rehabilitation of offenders act, which sets a time on the period when a past offence becomes void and need not be mentioned in further criminal trials. The period of time is itself dependent on the lenght of imprisonment given by the court - up to 2½ years imprisonment means the offence becomes void after 5 to 10 years, depending on the nature of the offence. With sentences of over 2½ years imprisonment there is no voiding of the offence. The 'sentence' refers to the sentence passed by the court and not the time spend in prison.
