While some people believe that theft is not a serious crime since it typically doesn’t involve causing physical harm to others, California authorities still pursue theft crimes quite aggressively. Being charged with theft in California is serious, especially if the charge falls under the grand theft category, which can land you in prison for years. While petty theft consists of the unlawful taking of property valued at $950 or under, grand theft is taking property valued over $950. Because the amount is higher, grand theft tends to be far more serious than petty theft. If you’ve been accused of grand theft in Los Angeles County, contact Los Angeles grand theft attorney William Kroger right away by calling 323-655-5700.
