2.4. Burglary
A person who enters into the locked or restricted property of another without their permission with the intention of committing a crime, typically theft.
This crime cannot stack with (2)02. Trespassing.
- Penal Code (2)04 is a misdemeanor punishable by no more than 15 months imprisonment and no more than a fine of $75.
NOTES:
Burglary can include homes, apartments, offices, vehicles/horses or any locked space with restricted access. Burglary is also committed irrelevant if any theft or other crime takes place. A less severe act of burglary is trespassing, which would account for instances where there is no intent to commit a crime, no locked door or other physical restriction.
