What IS THEFT BY RECEIVINGn?

  • If the prosecution can show you concealed an unpurchased good, this will give them automatic proof towards proving you intended to steal the item that was concealed.

  • The proof of the concealment will make it easier to prove you committed Theft.

If any person willfully conceals unpurchased goods, wares, or merchandise owned or held by and offered or displayed for sale by any store or other mercantile establishment, whether the concealment be on his own person or otherwise and whether on or off the premises of said store or mercantile establishment, such concealment constitutes prima facie evidence that the person intended to commit the crime of theft.
