Allegation of theft – 11 day trial

After police executed a search on our client’s home they found her in possession of a large number of brand clothing items, allegedly stolen from the clothing store at which she had previously worked as manager. The initial charge was stealing as a servant. It was then amended to possession of stolen or unlawfully obtained property. Following an 11-day trial in the Perth Magistrates Court our client was found not guilty and we obtained costs. All of the seized clothing was returned to her.
