If someone was accusing another person of theft if they went to police but didnt actually have any material proof that the items were taken. Could you be charged if the person was really adamant that you had taken them. also had two other people backing her up agreeing that you had taken things? There are receipts for the items but they arent where they are supposed to be. can police do anything??

They can and may investigate, but the word of someone(or three someones) is taken very lightly in comparison to the evidence. If you didn't do it relax. If they have evidence cop to it and you may get away with paying for the items and not being arrested.

In English law, at least, you're innocent until proved guilty. Can anyone prove that you took these items? Are there any witnesses who can swear they saw you take them? Do you have them in your possession?
A court will require proof and the police are not going to charge you with something they cannot expect to take to court.

It is an allegation of theft at the end of the day and the police need to prove you guilty , you dont have to prove your innocence.Did any of these so called witnesses see you take the items ? have you got them in your possession ? If the answer is no then they aint got a case.

You say threre are two witnesses what did they witness?.The fact that the stolen property cant be found is not an issue it could be hidden or disposed of.If the witnesses did not see the theft but did see in possession of stolen goods or you said something incriminating to them then you could face charges.Really need more info.

I have not had good luck pursuing items that I know were stolen. In one instance, someone stole a tv from me and sold it to someone I know. The person I know was shot and killed and I went to the sheriff's department and gave them the address and the serial number of my tv. They told me that there was no evidence to warrant a search. The only time I have ever recovered anything stolen was after the items were pawned in a pawn shop.

It's very unlikely that you will be charged with anything. You will be investigated as the Police have a duty to do so, however, if they can find no evidence to prove it was you that committed the theft, if indeed any theft has actually occurred, then you cannot be charged.

If there was no evidece that you had taken the item then it wouldnt go to court.
However if you could not prove that you did not take it...ie did not have an alibi and were seen or witnessed to be in that place at that time also could e supported by fingerprints etc then you could be charged.

In our town you can be convicted before you ever go to trial.
Our town has so many constitutional violations being heard at the Supreme Court level, I don't know how they are still in business.
That happened to a close friend of mine...3 people swore that she was making terroristic threats on the phone. Next thing you know, she has a warrant for her arrest for the fines she must pay. No one investigated anything......

Well, one accuser and two witnesses--- let me see..
And - no receipts - HMMMMMMM!
I think the chances of being charged with theft looks fairly likely here.
