Someone found me stealing oil from a forklift in an iron factory, and people called the police to arrest me. Is it okay if I run away?

First, if the other person doesn't know who you are, it may not matter. If the police pay attention to it, an in-depth investigation may find that you have committed a crime.

Second, if people in the iron works know you, your escape is only temporary.

The key is how much oil you stole and how much it is worth. You are suspected of theft. If the amount is not large, it may be punished by public security administration, fined or administratively detained for less than 15 days. If the value of your stolen property exceeds 1000 yuan (more than 3,000 yuan in economically developed areas), you have reached the standard of criminal filing. If the police know that you have committed a crime, they may hunt you down online. So, you can't escape. If the value of the property involved has reached the standard of criminal filing, it is best to ask someone to inquire. If the police have filed a case, it is best to come back and surrender, because running away is not a lifetime thing, and surrender can reduce the punishment. If you take the initiative to refund the compensation, the other party understands that the amount is not very large, at least you can suspend it. This is much better than hiding in the east and hiding in the west.
