Florida's Grand Theft Laws

7/15/2015

 
By Reinhold Law Firm

If you knowingly take and use, or have the intent to use, property entitled to another, you commit theft. If charged for a theft crime here in Florida, you could face multiple penalties, including jail time and heavy fines, depending on the severity of the crime.

Grand Theft in the First Degree

According to the official 2015 Florida Statutes, grand theft in the first degree is committed when the offender:

  • Steals property valued at or above $100,000.
  • Steals shipping cargo valued at or above $50,000.
  • Damages the property of another valued at or above $1,000 while committing grand theft.
  • Uses a motor vehicle as an aid - other than a means of escape - while committing grand theft, and thereby damaging the property of another.

Grand theft in the first degree is a first degree felony and can result in a minimum of 21 months and maximum of 30 years in jail, a fine of up to $10,000, or 30 years of probation.

Grand Theft in the Second Degree

Grand theft in the second degree is committed when the offender:

  • Steals property valued at or above $20,000 but less than $100,000.
  • Steals shipping cargo valued at less than $50,000.
  • Steals emergency medical equipment valued at or above $300 from licensed facilities or an aircraft.
  • Steals law enforcement equipment valued at or above $300 from authorized emergency vehicles, fire patrols, police vehicles, and ambulances.

Grand theft in the second degree is a second degree felony and can result in up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
