Types of New York Theft Crimes

New York has very specific laws regarding theft crimes. Even a seemingly minor theft can be charged as a felony if the value of the goods stolen is high enough, or if violence is involved.

Theft crimes include:

  • Larceny, including shoplifting
  • Receiving stolen property
  • Embezzlement
  • Burglary
  • Robbery
  • Identity theft

Theft crimes include taking someone else's property without permission and with the intent to deprive the owner of the property. The circumstances of the crime, the value of the goods stolen, and the defendant's criminal history will all be taken into account when determining sentencing. In addition to jail time and fines, a person convicted of theft in New York may face probation and may be required to pay restitution to the alleged victim.
