Shoplifting Charges Dismissed

Our client is a sales executive at a local computer software company. Several months ago he was caught in video surveillance footage stealing from a local retail store. Using security videos the police were able to see the make and model of the car the individual entered. The videos showed the car exit the parking lot and enter a gas station adjacent to the store. Officers obtained credit card receipts from the gas station and were able to match the car with the receipt. The credit card used to purchase the gas was in our client’s name. Registry of Motor Vehicle documents were sought and our client’s license photo matched the person seen stealing from the store. Our client was summonsed to court and charged with shoplifting under G.L. c. 266 section 30A. Our office was able to get all charges dismissed upon making a restitution payment.
