Have you been accused of taking someone else’s vehicle? Are you facing charges of larceny in conjunction with this accusation?

What Is Larceny of a Motor Vehicle?

Understanding the charges being brought against you is the first step to a successful criminal defense trial. Larceny is the taking of someone else’s property without their permission, and is also commonly referred to as theft. When a motor vehicle of any kind is the subject of the dispute, it is considered larceny of a motor vehicle. Due to the value of motor vehicles, this crime is typically classified as a felony in the state of North Carolina.

Larceny Charges in North Carolina

In the state of North Carolina, larceny charges are classified based on the value of the goods or services that were taken. The difference between a misdemeanor charge and a felony charge can be just a few dollars- that’s because theft of goods valued at $1,000 or less is classified as a misdemeanor, while theft of goods valued at over $1,000 is considered a felony. Since most stolen vehicles are valued at over $1,000, those accused of this kind of crime typically face felony charges and the penalties that go along with them. It’s imperative to have an experienced attorney on your side when facing charges of this magnitude.
