Theft Crimes

Criminal charges that are considered theft include shoplifting, bad checks, burglary, robbery, identity theft, fraud, and embezzlement.

The penalties for theft offenses can be severe. Even shoplifting an item valued at less than $50 can result in a Class C misdemeanor, carrying fines of up to $500. If the value of the property ranges from $1,500 to $20,000, it escalates to a felony, potentially leading to incarceration in a state jail. Theft involving property exceeding $20,000 could result in a prison sentence.
