Burglary vs. Robbery

Two of the most common theft & property crimes are burglary and robbery, which are often used interchangeably even though the two are significantly different crimes. While the action involved in the crime, the unlawful taking of or attempt to take another’s property, is the same, the circumstances surrounding the crime are different. Robbery involves the use of force, threat, or intimidation to take something of value from someone and requires that the victim be present at the scene. On the other hand, burglary is the act of unlawfully entering a property with the intent to commit theft or other crimes and does not require the victim to be present.

Penalties of Burglary Convictions

Burglary can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony based upon the circumstances surrounding the crime, including the type of building entered, the value of property stolen or intended to be stolen, and whether or not the accused was armed.

It is important to note that if you unlawfully enter a property without the intent of committing theft or other crimes, you may be charged with criminal trespass, which is a misdemeanor that carries less significant penalties.
