Property Crimes in New York and New Jersey

Some theft and property crimes are considered municipal court offenses and carry less severe penalties than criminal offenses. These municipal property crimes include shoplifting and writing back checks. Other property crimes, however, are considered criminal offenses and convictions for these crimes may carry prison time, heavy fines and other significant criminal penalties. Criminal property offenses include:

  • Robbery: Theft of property or money through the use of physical force or threats of violence against a victim. If a deadly weapon is involved in the theft or the victim suffers an injury as a result of the robbery, the charge may be upgraded to aggravated robbery.
  • Burglary: Unlawful entry into any building (such as a home or business) with the intent to commit a crime. Typically in a burglary, unlike in a robbery, no victims are present. No physical breaking and entering is required for a burglary to have taken place.

Whether you have been arrested for a municipal property crime or a more serious criminal offense, it is always important to exercise your rights and to understand all of your defense options. At Ellis Law, we will provide an honest assessment of your case and knowledgeable advice about going forward.
