What is Considered Theft in Alabama?
According to Alabama law, a property theft crime is committed when a person “knowingly obtains or exerts unauthorized control over the property of another, with intent to deprive the owner of his or her property.” Property theft is also committed if a person knowingly takes stolen property or any item donated to a charitable organization.
Theft of service, theft of identity, and theft by deception are also considered under this law. At Bennett Law, we are prepared to fight vigorously against any type of theft charge.
