If you are charged with a crime, you might also be found guilty of another crime that is connected to the first one. This can happen if the police can prove you committed the second crime, even if they can't prove all of the first crime. You can be convicted of the second crime if it is part of the crime you were originally charged with, as described in the law that created the offence or in the charge itself, and the police can prove you did it, as seen in similar laws such as the one found at s 339.

If the commission of the offence alleged (as described in the enactment creating the offence or in the charge) includes the commission of any other offence, the defendant may be convicted of that other offence if it is proved, even if the whole offence in the charge is not proved.
