Below are some of the more common types of theft charges and what they each entail.<\/p>\n<h3>Petty Theft&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p>Petty theft is essentially another word to describe <strong>misdemeanor theft in Arizona<\/strong>. This means it falls into the category of a Class 1 misdemeanor and involves stolen property or services valued equal to or less than $1,000.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Shoplifting<\/h3>\n<p>As found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/13\/01805.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ARS \u00a7 13-1805<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/criminal-defense\/theft-crimes-defense-attorney-phoenix\/shoplifting\/\">shoplifting charges in Arizona<\/a> require that a person knowingly conceal merchandise without paying for it, either on their person or by using an instrument or container of some sort, and leaves the premises without any intention to pay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Organized Retail Theft<\/h3>\n<p>Organized retail theft is similar to shoplifting in Arizona, but instead of keeping the stolen merchandise for themselves, the perpetrator intends to resell or trade it for proceeds, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/13\/01819.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ARS \u00a7 13-1819<\/a>. This type of theft may also include the use of any artifice, instrument, container, device, or other article to remove the stolen merchandise from the premises.<\/p>\n<h3>Grand Larceny<\/h3>\n<p>The word larceny is interchangeable with the word theft, meaning <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/grand-theft\/\">grand theft<\/a> and grand larceny are essentially the same type of crime. This simply entails that the value of items stolen exceeds $1,000, meaning the penalties are greater than those for a misdemeanor or petty theft.<\/p>\n<h3>Burglary<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/13\/01508.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ARS \u00a7 13-1508<\/a> defines the crime of burglary in Arizona as a perpetrator unlawfully entering and remaining on the property\/premises of another, whether it be commercial or residential, with the intent to commit theft or any other type of felony therein.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Robbery<\/h3>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/13\/01902.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ARS \u00a7 13-1902<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/robbery\/\">robbery charges in Arizona<\/a> occur when a person takes the property of another from him or her, either on their person or in their immediate presence, against said person\u2019s will. The act typically involves threats or force of some kind with the intention of coercing the surrender of property or otherwise preventing any resistance to obstruct them from taking the property. When a firearm or other dangerous weapon is involved (armed robbery) the charge increases to aggravated robbery. Additionally, certain aggravating factors may lead to an increased <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/blog\/theft-crimes\/what-is-aggravated-robbery\/\">aggravated robbery charge in Arizona<\/a>. This includes the act involving grievous bodily harm to another or if one or more accomplices were present to commit the act.<\/p>\n<h3>Theft of Services<\/h3>\n<p>Theft of services means that a person obtained services that were entrusted to them or were paid for by another without paying for the services themselves.<\/p>\n<h3>Embezzlement<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/criminal-defense\/embezzlement\/\">Embezzlement<\/a> is defined by the state of Arizona as the theft of all or a portion of property while someone has been entrusted with monitoring or managing it. In other words, it is when an individual who has been granted authorized access to another&#8217;s property uses that access for personal gain or benefit. Embezzlement, along with things like <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/criminal-defense\/fraud\/\">fraud<\/a>, employee theft, and certain forms of extortion, are all considered <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/criminal-defense\/white-collar-criminal-attorney-in-phoenix\/\">white-collar crimes in Arizona<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Auto Theft<\/h3>\n<p>Pursuant to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/13\/01814.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ARS \u00a7 13-1814<\/a>, auto theft or &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/auto-theft\/\">motor vehicle theft<\/a>&#8221; is the controlling or taking of a vehicle that belongs to someone else with the intent to permanently deprive the rightful owner of said vehicle.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c85e36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7c85e36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Phoenix-AZ-Theft-Defense-Attorney.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-210021\" alt=\"Phoenix AZ Theft Defense Attorney\" srcset=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Phoenix-AZ-Theft-Defense-Attorney.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Phoenix-AZ-Theft-Defense-Attorney-800x400.jpg 800w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Phoenix-AZ-Theft-Defense-Attorney-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Phoenix-AZ-Theft-Defense-Attorney-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94bea1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"94bea1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Penalties for Theft in Arizona<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa8c919 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa8c919\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Depending on the value of the stolen property, theft crimes may lead to varying degrees of punishment if convicted.

She spent thousands of hours over the year and a half she represented our family to challenge the prosecution at every corner and on every angle. She went above what most attorneys do by hiring her own experts and investigators to ensure she went to battle fully loaded. Due to her dedication, determination and commitment, my family felt extremely satisfied and confident that she obtained the best outcome with a reduced sentence. Bel\u00e9n is a stand up human being who, not only represented our family, but became family.

My teenage son needed defense against law enforcement and my family needed legal advice and support in the worst way. Despite being beaten black and blue by police officers that said he was resisting arrest, they also charged him with two felonies. We were all at a loss and Belen was able to keep us grounded as we went through the process explaining every step along the way. She worked extremely hard to expose the truth about the officer involved, and because of her hard work, the felonies were dropped. My son can go on with his life without having his record and character tarnished by these unjust accusations.\"\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__name\">- Client<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Hire this one! I spoke to several firms before using Belen. Every other firm connected me to a sales person who refused to allow me to speak with an attorney. Belen was put on the phone when I called at 7pm on a Saturday. Belen cared about my son. He had a warrant for his arrest and did not know until he was pulled over and hauled off to jail. Belen went to the jail on Saturday, stood with my son in jail in front of the jailhouse court judge and told that judge how it was. My son walked out 2 hours later without paying for bail. The following week, she called the prosecutor and was able to get the plea reinstated from years prior that resulted in the case being fully dismissed. Also, her fees for everything were lower than the other attorneys who were trying to get me to pay over the phone. I highly recommend Belen!\"\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span
