The standard for arrest is probable cause (low) and for conviction is beyond a reasonable doubt (very high). That said after arrest you have a right to a lawyer, to know what you are charged with, except in unusual cases to have bond set (and shop lifting is the opposite of unusual), etc.

What! In my previous life I knew witches…….and what’s more I can still spot them today…….gawd knows New England is still full of em today😝
Probable cause gives us the right to search/investigate. It doesn't give us the right to detain except while searching for said probable cause.
To make an arrest you have to have "probable cause." Being an incompetent investigator and failing to do your job does not constitute probable cause. It does, however, create legal liability in civil court.
