Original Note:
No such rule prevents shoplifting from being investigated. The law provided for thefts below £200 to be classed as 'summary only' offences, which could be dealt with by fixed penalty; that did not stop such offences being investigated or charged as 'either way' offences. https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/theft-act-offences
