Felony Theft

Illinois Felony Theft Defense

When You're Facing Illinois Theft or Burglary Charges

Felony larceny differs from misdemeanor theft in two primary ways:

  • The item or amount stolen is greater than $300 in value
  • If convicted, you face more than 1 year and 1 day in jail.

There are 4 classes of felony theft charge, depending upon whether the theft was from a person, a home burglary, retail shoplifting, or theft from a school or government institution, and depending upon the value of the property. If you have a prior conviction, it's also likely that any other serious theft offense will be charged as felony larceny.
