Defense for Theft Crime Charges

Theft crimes are defined as the intentional, unlawful stealing of an object, property, money or other item that belongs to another person without their permission, with the intent of keeping the property from their possession. These types of crimes are punished harshly in Connecticut, especially if the stolen property is of significant value. For more valuable objects, the penalties can increase if you are convicted of a theft crime, up to extremely strict criminal punishments for felony crimes. When you are arrested for a theft crime it is highly recommended that you acquire legal aid from a Danbury criminal defense attorney with significant experience in handling theft crime charges.

Due to the nature of theft crimes, the penalties and types of charges will vary greatly depending upon the value of the property stolen and the nature of the crime. These crimes can range from smaller misdemeanor crimes such as shoplifting and theft of items valued at lower amounts to more serious and possibly felony crimes including embezzlement, fraud and identity theft. In the event that the charge is a violent crime such as armed robbery, the result could be an extremely serious felony charge and very harsh conviction penalties including enormous fines, and jail or prison time of up to life in prison.
