Building Your Larceny Charges Defense
Committed to Building a Solid Case for You
A person commits theft when they intentionally take property from someone else. While this may seem straightforward, there is a wide range of conduct that falls within the definition of larceny and theft.
What is common to every type of larceny, however, are the specific terms and elements that must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in order for the state to sufficiently prove its case against the defendant. If they cannot prove each and every element beyond a reasonable doubt, the state cannot prove its case and the defendant should, therefore, be considered not guilty. In order to aid in this pursuit, it is important those accused consult with BBB Attorneys as soon as possible to go over their case and begin building a defense.
An experienced attorney can advocate on behalf of the defendant and make sure they navigate through the legal system as successfully as possible. For information on what can be done for your case, call and schedule a consultation today.

Types of Larceny Offenses in Connecticut
There are a number of theft-related offenses that can lead to criminal charges in Connecticut, among the common are:
Beyond these offenses, there are six degrees of larceny that you can be charged with depending largely on the value of the items that were allegedly stolen, and on the conduct of how the offense took place. For example, the degree you are charged with may be influenced by having committed theft from a vehicle or if the theft involved an individual who is considered vulnerable, such as those over the age of 65 or someone who is blind. Our attorneys will be able to provide you with more information on what exactly you are being charged with and which penalties you may be facing.
Larceny Penalties
| Charge | Statute | Maximum penalty |
|---|---|---|
| Larceny First | C.G.S § 53a-122 | Up to 20 years in jail |
| Larceny Second | C.G.S. § 53a-123 | Up to 10 years in jail |
| Larceny Third | C.G.S. § 53a-124 | Up to 5 years in jail |
| Larceny Fourth | C.G.S. § 53a-125 | Up to 1 year in jail |
| Larceny Fifth | C.G.S. § 53a-125a | Up to 6 months in jail |
| Larceny Sixth | C.G.S. § 53a-125b | Up to 90 days in jail |
In addition to the penalties listed above, a larceny conviction can impact your ability to get a job in the future. Employers are particularly concerned with this conviction because they need to protect their property and other assets. A larceny conviction could prevent an employer from hiring you and it is therefore important to fight the charge with the help of our attorneys as soon as possible.
Building a Strong Larceny Defense Case
Building a strong larceny defense case requires a comprehensive approach aimed at challenging the prosecution's evidence and presenting a compelling argument in your favor. Firstly, a skilled criminal defense attorney will thoroughly examine the facts of the case, scrutinize the evidence, and assess any potential weaknesses or inconsistencies. They will gather all relevant information, including witness statements, surveillance footage, or expert testimony, to build a robust defense strategy. This may involve challenging the credibility or reliability of the prosecution's witnesses, scrutinizing the chain of custody of the alleged stolen property, or disputing the intent element required for a larceny conviction. Additionally, exploring potential defenses such as mistaken identity, lack of evidence, or establishing lawful ownership can be instrumental in building a strong defense. With a strategic approach, attention to detail, and extensive knowledge of the law, our skilled attorneys will vigorously advocate for your rights, striving to achieve the best possible outcome in your larceny defense case.
