Theft, Burglary and Fraud

Theft: Involves committing a theft when exerting control over another person’s property without authorization and depriving victim’s property permanently (it must be clear the property in question was not simply borrowed and a misunderstanding occurred).

Burglary: Involves breaking and entering of a person’s home or other buildings with the intent to commit theft.

Fraud: A type of white-collar crime that is broadly defined as intentionally deceiving a person or group of people for personal gain or in an effort to injure another party. Because there are so many different types of fraud, convictions for fraud charges will vary greatly and will depend on the facts of the case, the value of the property taken (or amount of injury caused) and an individual’s criminal history. In Minnesota theft, burglary or fraud can be classified as a felony, gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor depending on the value of the stolen item.
