Criminal Defense Lawyer Serving Arcadia, Altadena, Alhambra, & Pasadena

Burglary is a criminal offense commonly referred to as “breaking and entering” and usually involving theft. Per California law, burglary is the crime of gaining unlawful entry into a property for the purpose of committing a crime. This can be any type of crime, but most often burglary is committed for the purpose of carrying out a theft crime.

Whether or not the intended crime is carried out is not relevant for a burglary case. The relevant factors are:

The defendant unlawfully entered the property, and
The defendant had the intention of carrying out a crime.
