What You Need to Know About Property Crimes

Property crimes are offenses that involve the theft or destruction of someone else's property. These crimes can range from minor vandalism to major burglaries and include offenses such as shoplifting, robbery, and motor vehicle theft.

One of the most common property crimes is theft, which involves taking someone else's property without their permission. This can include taking something as small as a candy bar from a store, or as large as a car or a piece of jewelry. In order to be convicted of theft, the prosecutor must prove that the defendant intended to take the property without the owner's permission.

Another type of property crime is burglary, which involves entering a building or other structure with the intent to commit a crime. This crime can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the circumstances of the case. For example, if a person breaks into a home and steals valuables, they may be charged with a more serious offense than if they simply entered a building with the intention of causing mischief.

Defending against property crime charges can be challenging, as the prosecution will often have evidence such as surveillance footage or witnesses to support their case. However, an experienced criminal defense attorney like Mark Coleman may be able to help the defendant by challenging the prosecution's evidence and presenting a strong defense. In some cases, this may result in reduced charges or even a complete dismissal of the case.
