Riverside Theft Crimes

The Law Offices of Gregory H. Comings, providing criminal defense in Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Orange County.

There are many types of theft crimes, and they can be charged as misdemeanors or felonies.  Theft related charges usually depend upon the value of the property that is stolen.  If convicted of a theft related crime, you could face severe punishments such as imprisonment, monetary fines, community service, and probation.  You may also be sued by the rightful owner of the property for damages.  A theft conviction will show up on your criminal record, which can negatively impact any future employment, education, or housing opportunities you may have. 

In California, the most common types of theft include:

Petty theft:  Theft of another person’s property, with a valued amount of no more than $400. 

Identity theft:  Stealing or using another person’s personal information, without consent, as your own to commit fraud.

Grand theft/Grand larceny:  Theft of another person’s property that exceeds the amount of $400. 

Burglary:  Theft, at the felony level, in which the offender breaks into a building.
If you have been arrested for theft, your best course of action is to hire a competent attorney with California criminal law experience.
