If you are shoplifting and the police are watching and allow you to continue shoplifting in different stores can you be charged with multipole crimes and sentenced to consective sentences?

Answer 1

You can be charged for multiple offences if the Police have sufficient evidence about your crimes..although it is unlikely that any Judge will sentence you seperately for all crimes if dealt with on the same trial..so yes ..you could receive a consecutive sentence, also to run concurrently with other sentences that the Court may have imposed upon you previously..i.e.. a suspended sentence -will also become activated.
