Experienced Suffolk County Grand Larceny Defense Attorney
In New York, grand larceny refers to theft of amounts of $1,000 or more. Any property taken that is valued over $1,000 will elevate the charges to grand larceny, which is a much more serious criminal charge.
Often, our criminal defense attorneys are able to reduce such charges to a noncriminal charge; however, in such cases, the accused needs to make restitution by paying the person whose property was taken.
Grand larceny is usually distinguished from embezzlement and false pretenses in that the actual taking of the property is accomplished unlawfully and without the victim’s consent, and along with the taking there must be a carrying-off. It is also distinguished from burglary in that the theft does not necessarily involve unlawful breaking and entering.
