Types of Theft Offenses
Defense Attorney in Long Beach, CA
There are serious consequences that an individual who is convicted of a
theft crime in California could face. Depending on the type of crime committed,
your criminal history, and various aspects of your case, you could be
convicted of a misdemeanor or a felony. There are two categories in the
state of California: grand theft, which is any theft of another's
property or a theft of value over $400, and petty theft, which is any
other theft crime.
The punishment you face for theft crimes can be quite severe. Some of the
punishments meted out by the state of California are as follows:
- Jail or prison time
- Restitution
- Fines
- Community service
- Probation
There is also the potential for civil suit, which can later be filed against
you by the individual who was victimized by the theft crime or the victim's
family. The term "theft offenses" pertains to many different
types of criminal activities, including the following:
- Breaking and entering
- Robbery
- Burglary
