penalties for shoplifting in n.ireland

[carlydeans]

i suffer from depression and anxiety and panic attacks. i was in m+s and exchanged 3 shirts got my receipts, but as i walked away i knocked over a pile of pamflets and as a result i suffered a panic attack. The next thing i knew i was outside with a member of security with 2 items that i had not paid for.I was arrested and am now awaiting post in relation to this. What will happen now.
