Virginia Beach Burglary Lawyer
What is Burglary?
Section 18.2-89 of the Virginia Code describes burglary as breaking and entering another person’s home at night, with the intent to commit a felony or larceny. The felony could be a violent crime such as assault, or it could be a theft offense.
Burglary is a serious criminal offense in Virginia Beach, and it is punishable as a felony. If you have been charged with burglary, you can be sent to state prison, forced to pay thousands of dollars in fines, and you will have a criminal record for years to come.
What are the Penalties for Burglary?
Burglary is a Class 3 felony, punishable by anywhere from 5 to 20 years in prison and up to $100,000 in fines. In cases where the suspect was armed with a deadly weapon, the crime is increased to a Class 2 felony, which has a minimum of 20 years in prison and a maximum life imprisonment.
