Riverside Theft Crimes Lawyer
In California, as in every other state, it is a crime to steal. California has enacted numerous laws that criminalize stealing (or more accurately, laws that criminalize the wrongful taking of someone else’s property). The penalties for these types of crimes vary, but can include, fines, orders to pay restitution to an alleged victim, restrictive probation terms, court-ordered classes, and can result in significant time behind bars.
