Theft Crimes Attorney 

 

in Broward & Palm Beach Counties

Theft crimes, or Larceny, can range from a simple shoplifting incident to a felony grand theft. Fraud is also a type of theft. Penalties depend on the value of the items, and can include heavy fines and up to 30 years in prison. Florida Code § 812.014  states that theft also extends to temporarily taking property without authorization. This can easily be something trivial like a borrowed car, or a misunderstanding, and leaves many people vulnerable to prosecution. Theft crimes stand out particularly on background checks, as ‘crimes of dishonesty’, and are a red flag to future employers.

Larceny: The unauthorized taking and removal of the Personal Property of another by an individual who intends to permanently deprive the owner of it.
