What Is Theft?

Theft in New Jersey is based on a three-part definition. For a conviction, the state must prove all three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

That defendant knowingly took or unlawfully exercised control over property;
That the property belonged to another;
That defendant’s purpose was to deprive the other person of the property.

Determining the category and severity of a theft depends on what type of property was taken, combined with the property’s worth.

Disorderly Persons Theft (Up to 6 months in jail)

Disorderly persons theft (the least severe) applies if the stolen property is valued at less than $200.

Fourth Degree Theft (Up to 18 months in prison)

Fourth degree theft applies if the stolen property has a value of at least $200, but does not exceed $500.

Third Degree Theft (Up to 5 years in prison)

Third degree theft applies if the value of the stolen property exceeds $500, but is less than $75,000.

Second Degree Theft (Up to 10 years in prison)

Second degree theft applies if the value of the stolen property is $75,000 or more.

    Fred is a good lawyer, he is really young yet made me feel confident that my lawful rights were being protected, and investigated all avenues when there was potential they weren't. He is very knowledgeable, and offered great peace of mind in such a distressing situation. I always felt like he had my back throughout the whole process, supporting aspects to my case that didn't even fall within his scope. I would highly recommend Fred.
