To cut a long story short I let off a half empty fire extinguisher at my old place of work and they have found out and though not yet I believe the police will be round.

Apparently it can lead to up to a 5k fine, if I get fined (which I hope I don't) could it lead to me being sacked? I'm in my trial period still.

It is the first time I've been in trouble, I'm really worried and upset about it.

Thanks a lot.
Hi mate if you go to court and get fined you will be deemed as having a criminal record and RM would look at that case on its merits............. ????????????????? :wave :wave

you will not get sacked for that. Have seen people get far worse as a criminal record whilst at RM. They will definately want a word with you about it though.

I'm hoping by apologising to my old boss and offering to pay that the police will stay out of it because they haven't been around yet.

Cheers for the advice.
