Understanding Theft and Grand Larceny
Theft, in its basic form, involves taking someone else’s property without permission with the intent to permanently deprive them of it. Grand larceny, a more severe form, is determined by the value of the stolen property, varying by state laws, but generally involves larger amounts or specific types of property.
Virginia Code § 18.2-95 defines larceny into two different types: petty and grand. Petty larceny is treated as a misdemeanor, while grand larceny is a felony. The difference between petty and grand larceny depends on how the property is alleged to have been stolen and the claimed value of the property or amount of money. There are many different types of offenses that are treated as larceny. If you find yourself facing charges of either, contact the experienced attorneys at Welch & Wright for help.
