The Ghahraman charges

1 News reports:

Auckland District Court documents show that Ghahraman is accused of stealing $2060 worth of clothing from Scotties Boutique in Auckland’s Ponsonby on December 21 last year, and $7223 worth of clothing from the same store on December 23.

The third charge dates back further, with the ex-MP accused of shoplifting clothes valued at $695 from Cre8iveworx in Wellington on October 22. In total, the value of goods allegedly taken is $9978.

The two charges related to Scotties Boutique each carry a maximum penalty of seven years’ imprisonment, while the Cre8iveworx charge has a maximum penalty of one year imprisonment.

Allegedly stealing twice from the same store, just two days apart, seems very targeted.
