CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) - In an effort to educate kids about the consequences of shoplifting, the Chesapeake Police Department in cooperation with Chesapeake Public Schools and WCTV, created a video called "Caught, Teen Shoplifter Exposed."
The video will be shown in all physical education and health classes at the middle and high school level. The 29 minute video depicts five video segments with varying outcomes of teens involved with shoplifting and the consequences that come along with it, according to a spokesperson with the Chesapeake Police Department.
The police department recognizes that juveniles, through peer pressure or other forms of influence, commit offenses without realizing the repercussions of their actions.
The Chesapeake Police Department hopes the video will help deter future juvenile larcenies.
