Court convicts defendant of attempted shoplifting and theft, merging acts into a continuous crime chain.

The court convicted the defendant of attempted shoplifting and theft, merging the two incidents into a single continuous crime chain under Article 278 of the Criminal Code. The prosecution argued the defendant repeatedly took perfumes from store shelves without paying, while the defense likely contested the continuity or intent. The court ruled that the acts constituted a continuous offense, resulting in a one-year prison sentence and an order to compensate the store for the value of the stolen goods.
