Around 4 years back, I was arrested in US on a shoplifting case (petty larceny) and it was a misdemeanour. However the charges were dropped after I did community service. I plan to visit UK this year. Will the UK Immigration people come to know of it?
Shall they grant me a visa? Is there a risk of my visa getting denied from the UK people?

I am not an American citizen.
Also, should I be honest and declare my record to the UK Visa people? Do they at all have access to US criminal records?

americans don't need visas but you wil have to fill out an immigration card when you land in the uk and you'll have to specify if you have a criminal record.

Yes. You will be denied.
If, howerver, they let you into the country, if they later discover the arrest, they may deport you.
