Court convicted thieves of shoplifting under continuous act rule, sentencing one to prison and others to fines.

The court convicted four defendants of shoplifting in two separate incidents on January 18, 2016, finding them guilty of theft under Article 278 of the Criminal Code. The prosecution argued that the defendants acted in a continuous series of crimes with a common intent to steal goods worth over 1,200 PLN. The court accepted this view, applying the continuous act provision to treat the multiple thefts as a single criminal episode, and sentenced one defendant to four months of imprisonment while imposing fines on the others.
