Understanding Theft
Theft means taking another person’s property without their permission. Theft describes crimes such as robbery, larceny, and burglary. Someone commits theft in Apache Junction when they steal another person’s belongings with the intent to resell them to make money. This can apply to non-tangible things such as social security or credit card numbers. Regardless of the situation, an action is theft if someone steals something that isn’t theirs. The severity of the theft charge varies based on the total value of the stolen item/s.
Penalties Associated with Theft
Theft of anything worth less than $1,000 is a misdemeanor, which can carry a jail sentence of six months. Anything from $1,000 to $2,000 is a Class 6 felony resulting in up to two years of prison. Anything over that amount could lead up to 12 ½ years in prison. Our theft charges defense team can investigate your case and determine if there are any factors that can lead to reduced or dismissed charges.
