If you caught the person red handed, why did you not report the matter to the police to start with? What was stolen and to what value? You are expected, by law, to report the case. If the person was not caught red handed but was suspected of theft, how did they find the person guilty? What mitigating circumstances can there be if a person was caught for or even admitted to theft?
Theft is theft. The LRA is perfectly clear as far as theft or fraud is concerned. It is a first offense dismissal. Summary dismissal. There is no excuse for theft, unless you really pay your employees very badly.
