What is a theft crime?
A theft crime is a criminal act of taking another individual’s personal property without the individual’s consent. In California, theft crimes are classified as grand theft or petty theft. Petty theft is taking another person’s property (valued at below $400) without the person’s consent. In most cases, petty theft is considered a misdemeanor. Grand theft is taking another person’s property (valued at $400 or greater) without the person’s consent. Many grand theft crimes are considered felonies; which means that the offender can be sentenced with over a year of jail time if convicted.
Frequently Committed Theft Crimes
Frequently committed theft crimes include: shoplifting, carjacking, burglary, robbery, armed robbery, credit card fraud, identity theft, vehicular theft, embezzlement, larceny, and money laundering.
California Drug Crime Legal Penalties
Once a person is convicted a theft crime, he/she may be punished with:
- imprisonment
- large fines
- restitution
- community service
- probation
- parole
Theft crime charges and legal penalties will depend upon the type of theft crime committed and the value of the property stolen. If the defendant is a repeat offender, he/she may be subject to enhanced criminal charges and sentencing.
