Types of Theft Crimes
A theft crime can be classified as either a misdemeanor or felony level offense in New York State, depending on the specific facts of each case and the value of the property alleged to have been stolen.
Common types of theft offenses include:
Petit Larceny or Shoplifting
One of the most common theft crimes is petit larceny, or "shoplifting" (N.Y. Penal Law § 155.25). An individual is guilty of petit larceny "when he steals property," regardless of the value of the property. Petit larceny is a class A misdemeanor criminal offense, and is punishable by a maximum jail sentence of up to one year in addition to a fine of up to $1,000.00.
Grand Larceny
- Grand larceny is a felony level offense that carries more severe penalties and fines than petit larceny, and can be charged as class E, class D, class C, or class B felony offense.
- In most cases, the level of offense depends upon the value of the property involved.
- An individual charged with any grand larceny offense faces significant penalties, including the possibility of being sentenced to prison in the event of a conviction.
