Tennessee Theft Crimes Attorney

 

Nashville TN Criminal Defense Lawyer

 

Theft itself most often refers to basic forms of this crime, including shoplifting, auto theft or the like. “Theft crimes” however may refer to a variety of different criminal offenses that all relate to the taking of another person’s property. The manner in which this crime is carried out will determine how it is to be classified as well as what potential penalties a defendant may face. For example, a violent theft crime such as armed robbery is typically a more serious offense than a simple shoplifting offense. Theft may also involve deception, and these are mainly covered under basic fraud crimes. A number of fraud crimes are also classified as “white collar crimes” which means they are usually non-violent and take place in a business or financial setting.

About Theft Crimes in Tennessee

 

Purposefully taking another person’s property with the intention of permanently depriving the owner of said property constitutes theft. The use of a weapon, violence, threats or force in the commission of the crime will result in more serious charges and potential penalties. The value of property taken will also affect the final charges a defendant may face.
