as mentioned in one of the earlier responses
likely the investigation side opined that prosecutorial discretion
proposed course of action was concurred by the empowered DPP to then opt for stern warning
if the shop theft is super petty (eg one set of newspaper), think at the court mention, the judge would also have give the subject one hell of scolding 1st before proceed with the session ie either PG and plead for leniency or for the subject's prerogative, claim trial
very lucky liao lor
