Types of Theft Crimes in Santa Barbara

Theft crimes are typically charged as a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the way the crime was allegedly carried out and the value of the property which was allegedly stolen. Theft crimes involving property that is valued under $950 are usually considered misdemeanors unless a special circumstance was involved. Those crimes involving property over the price of $950 and those with special circumstances (such as armed robbery or if someone was hurt as a result) are charged as felonies.

A few of the most common theft crimes we defend include:

• Shoplifting

• Fraud

• Burglary

• Robbery

• Motor vehicle theft

• Grand theft

Prosecutors work hard to reach convictions and punish offenders severely, which is why you need aggressive representation on your side. Depending on the nature of your charges, you could face jail or prison time, in addition to community service, probation, fines, and restitution. If convicted, having a criminal record can affect your future for years to come.
