Hollywood Theft Crimes Defense Attorneys
If you take another person’s property with the intention of depriving them of it, this is considered a theft crime. Depending on the value of the item stolen, a theft crime can be classified as either petty theft or grand theft. If the item stolen is valued over $400, you may be charged with grand theft. If it is worth less than $400, you may face petty theft charges. Like other felonies, grand theft is extremely serious and can result in 1 year or more in a state prison, fines, community service and probation. A misdemeanor petty theft charge conviction may put you behind bars for up to one year and may also include a fine, community service and probation.
