Theft Court Cases in Rhode Island
Theft crimes consist of actions involving the taking of another's property without their consent. Examples of theft crimes are burglary, robbery, embezzlement, larceny, looting, shoplifting, grand theft, carjacking, home invasion, and fraud. These crimes may be charged as misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the circumstances.
If the theft involved the use of force, as with a firearm, gun, or other deadly weapon, the charges and resulting penalties will be more severe. A theft crime that may be considered minor, such as a first-offense shoplifting, can result in up to a year in jail and fines of $50 to $500 along with informal probation of one to three years if you are convicted.
