Theft is any activity which involves stealing, whether by force or not. It includes an array of crimes, such as burglary, robbery, shoplifting, embezzlement and fraud. Theft crimes where force is used, where a deadly weapon is involved, or involve financial institutions, can carry much heavier penalties than theft alone.
With theft, the amount stolen determines the penalties for the crime:
- Under $750: Up to 1 year imprisonment and up to $5,000 in fines.
- $750 – $1,500: Up to 5 years imprisonment and up to $10,000 in fines.
- $1,500 or more: Up to 10 years imprisonment and up to $20,000 in fines.
