Facing Robbery Charges in New York? Megan Gallagher is the Expert Defense Attorney You Need
Understanding Assault Charges Law in New York
Larceny refers to the unlawful taking and carrying away of someone else's personal property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of its possession. It is a theft crime that does not involve force, violence, or unlawful entry into a building. Larceny typically applies to situations such as shoplifting, stealing a wallet, or taking property without the owner’s consent.
Key elements of larceny include:
-
The property must belong to someone else.
-
The taking must be without the owner’s permission.
-
There must be an intent to permanently deprive the owner of the property.
The severity of larceny charges often depends on the value of the property stolen, with higher-value items leading to more serious penalties. Larceny is a crime focused on the theft itself, distinguishing it from crimes involving force or unlawful entry, like robbery or burglary.
