English term or phrase: Going equipped
A person shall be guilty of an offence if, when not at their place of abode, they have with them any article for use in the course of or in connection with any burglary or theft.

The offence of going equipped for theft can be a serious allegation linked to accusations of burglary or theft. Going equipped is an offence defined by section 25 of the Theft Act 1968.
If you accused of going equipped, the Prosecution must show that you:
Had a tool or other article in your possession,
That tool was intended for use in the course of a burglary or theft, and
You were not at your home
Going equipped is an offence where the key issue relates to what the suspect intended to do with the tool in his possession. People frequently carry the tools during the course of their business or trade, but what defines the offence is the purpose for carrying out a theft or other dishonesty offence.

going equipped
equipar-se / estar equipado


Explanation:
There is no need to be creative here when Portuguese has an equivalent counterpart.

equipar: Prover ou prover-se do equipamento ou material necessário para determinada função ou actividade (ex.: vamos equipar a escola com novo material informático; foram equipar-se porque o treino ia começar). ≠ DESEQUIPAR

"equipar", in Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa [em linha], 2008-2024, https://dicionario.priberam.org/equipar.
