One Response to Police ask: Can you identify these alcohol thieves?

I suspect very little will happen with any outcome if/when they get caught – that’s just the way it is nowadays.
However, I hope that things change and they will carry a criminal record that is not simply expunged after
they turn 18 (if under).
This will impact them later in life when they can’t pass a basic ‘police check’ and have no chance of ever getting
a ‘security clearance’.
There needs to be consequences, even if in the short term it results in no meaningful punishment.
