Burglary / Theft

Burglary and theft are property crimes that can have devastating consequences on an individual’s future if the accused person is ultimately convicted of these crimes.

According to Colorado criminal law:

  • Burglary is the criminal act of breaking into a building, structure or locked container owned by another individual (or party) with the intent of committing another crime, whether that be theft or a violent crime, such as assault.
  • Theft is the criminal act of intentionally and permanently depriving another individual (or party) of money or valuables that are rightfully his. Theft may also be referred to as larceny and can be classified as petty theft or grand theft, depending on the value of goods allegedly stolen.

Burglary and theft charges are extremely serious, and the resulting penalties for such charges upon conviction will be particularly harsh if:

  • A weapon was used during the course of the alleged crime.
  • Anyone was injured (or killed) during the course of the alleged crime.
  • The alleged victim was an at-risk adult or was an individual (or entity) who trusted you, such as an employer.
  • The alleged burglary or theft occurred repeatedly over a period of time (rather than being a one-time incident).
  • The accused individual has a criminal record (particularly if that record includes prior property crime convictions).
