Penalties for Burglary & Theft in Connecticut
The penalties for burglary and theft in Connecticut depend on the severity of the offense. For example, when it comes to theft (or larceny), if the value of the property stolen is less than $500, the accused will likely be charged with a misdemeanor and face up to 3 months in jail and/or a fine of up to $500. On the other end of the spectrum is a first-degree larceny charge, which is a Class B felony where the value of the property stolen is more than $20,000. In this type of instance, the accused could face anywhere from 1 to 20 years in prison and up to a $15,000 fine. Burglary penalties follow a similar pattern, with the situation dictating the severity of the potential consequences.
