Theft Crimes

Getting charged with a theft crime may seem like a minor offense, but in the eyes of the law, serious charges and penalties can be enforced. A theft crime is defined as depriving someone of their property with the intention of not returning it. Penalties for theft crimes increase depending on the stolen property’s worth and other contributing factors.

There are several degrees that theft crimes fall under, typically depending on two factors: the type of property stolen and the stolen property’s worth.

The following are the classifications of theft crimes:

Class 3 Misdemeanor: Involves concealing merchandise with the intent to deprive property from the owner.
Class 2 Misdemeanor: For second offenders who repeated the crime within three years of first offense.
Class 1 Misdemeanor: If the stolen property was worth $1,000 or less, resulting in up to 45 days of incarceration.
Class H Felony: If stolen property was worth more than $1,000.

If property is stolen by breaking and entering or if a firearm was used at the time of the theft, it will be considered a felony, regardless of the property’s worth.
