Hours after an Indian woman was caught shoplifting in the United States, the Donald Trump-led country has issued an advisory warning against theft or burglary.

In a post on social media, the US Embassy in India also mentioned that indulging in such acts could lead to the revocation of their visa and making them ineligible for US visits in the future.

“Committing assault, theft, or burglary in the United States won’t just cause you legal issues – it could lead to your visa being revoked and make you ineligible for future U.S. visas," the advisory stated.

“The United States values law and order and expects foreign visitors to follow all U.S. laws," it added.
