The criteria for identifying multiple thefts are:
1. Thefts must be committed more than twice within two years. In theory, according to the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China", repeated thefts are considered serial offenders, and the crime amount should be accumulated as one crime of theft. If the conviction standard for a relatively large amount is met, criminal liability can be pursued in accordance with the law;
2. The crime of "repeated theft" does not need to meet the conviction standard for a relatively large amount.
