Whoever intentionally alters indicia of price or value of merchandise or takes and carries away, transfers, conceals or retains possession of merchandise held for resale by a merchant without consent and with intent to deprive the merchant permanently of possession or the full purchase price may be penalized as provided in Subsection D.

The intentional concealment of unpurchased merchandise
which continues from one floor to another and beyond the last station
for receiving payments in a merchant's store is evidence of intent

merchandise concealed upon the person or among the belongings of another

concealing such goods.

of the purpose for the detention and may make phone calls, but he
shall not be interrogated or searched against his will before the
arrival of a police officer who may conduct a lawful interrogation
of the accused person. Compliance with this subsection entitles the
merchant or his employee effecting the detention to the same defense

in the line of duty.
