A senior woman stole from a store in Hradec. When she said that she was hungry, the employees and the policemen agreed to give her a fine and food

The officers informed about the case. Their spokeswoman, Eva Kněžourová, stated that they deal with shoplifting practically every day, but this case deviated from normal practice.

“During the discussion of the case, the officers found out that this was the first offense of this elderly lady. In addition, she really only had basic foods in her shopping basket. Therefore, the fine was imposed on her by an order on the spot at the very bottom of the rate,” said Eva Kněžourová, the spokeswoman for the city police in Hradec Králové. She did not specify the place of the event or the specific amount of the fine.

According to her, the senior woman explained that she was sorry, but that she had no other choice. “She said she was hungry and had no money. She supports three other people from her pension, which will arrive in 14 days. The woman was very ashamed and apologized,” added Kněžourová.

The spokeswoman did not specify how these people are related to the perpetrator.

When the pensioner was sadly leaving the store, a policeman stopped her and pressed a bag with a paid purchase into her hand. And the employees of the store also joined in and paid the imposed fine for the senior woman.

They also contacted relevant social workers, who should help this socially weak family, for example, with the settlement of social contributions.
