Burglary is the crime of entering a structure such as a home, business, vehicle or boat with the intention of stealing or committing a felony. You can be charged with either a misdemeanor or felony in a burglary case, depending on what occurred and your prior criminal record. A conviction for burglary can result in:
- Jail time
- Fines
- Restitution
- Community service
- A strike under California's "Three Strikes" law
A guilty verdict in a first-degree burglary case can lead to incarceration in a state prison for up to six years. If the crime also included the use of a deadly weapon, arson, assault or battery, your jail sentence can be significantly enhanced.
