Of course the security guard can make that allegation. Same as anyone could just like I am in this thread. It would then be for the police to investigate.It appears rather then get the police involved, Tesco have decided to ban the OP from their premises which is their right.The offence was close:
OP presented a till receipt to customer services to claim clubcard points that were not issued to him. By doing this he intended to gain those points which have a value of upto 4x the amount.This would have caused loss to Tesco as the OP did not make a purchase to earn those points.
1) Whether the notional value of virtual loyalty points is equal in law to the loss of actual money or goods.
2) Whether the loss is demonstrated because Tesco had already agreed to give the points to the original purchaser - and therefore a claim of the points by someone else is not a net loss to Tesco.
3) Whether this is an offence which has an "attempted" variant, and whether the actions of the OP amounted to an "attempt", because they certainly didn't amount to the full offence.0 -

There are three issues that need to be considered before determining whether an offence had actually taken place.0 -

The Law covers literally everything.
And this is another feature of these kinds of organisations - the belief that they above the law.0 -

It's not illegal for them to ban someone so you're wrong. Tesco own the store, they can ban who they want. The law has nothing to do with it. There law would only be involved if Tesco have done something illegal but they haven't.0 -

Does the law cover the nonsense you come away with?0 -
