Norwalk Shoplifting Defense Attorneys Defend Those Charged With Theft

Connecticut Criminal Defense Law Firm Defends Clients Against Shoplifting Charges

Under Connecticut law, retail theft or shoplifting is defined as larceny. Connecticut classifies larceny either as a felony or a misdemeanor, depending upon the dollar value of the property stolen.

  • Sixth Degree Larceny – Class C misdemeanor, involves the theft of property worth $500 or less, punishable by up to three months in jail and a fine up to $500
  • Fifth Degree Larceny – Class B misdemeanor, involves the theft of property worth between $500 and $1,000, punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine up to $1,000
  • Fourth Degree Larceny – Class A misdemeanor, involves the theft of property worth between $1,000 and $2,000, punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine up to $2,000
  • Third Degree Larceny – Class D felony, involves the theft of property worth between $2,000 and $10,000, carries a sentence of one to five years and a fine of up to $5,000.
  • Second Degree Larceny – Class C felony, involves the theft of property worth between $10,000 and $20,000, punishable by one to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000
  • First Degree Larceny – Class B felony, involves the theft of property or services valued at more than $20,000, carries a one to 20 year term of imprisonment and a fine up to $15,000

A larceny charge does not necessarily lead to a conviction. An experienced Connecticut criminal defense attorney will examine the evidence, conduct intensive forensic discovery, and provide you with the strongest defense possible.
