Burglary In Connecticut
Under Connecticut criminal law, burglary occurs when one enters a building or dwelling, without permission, with the intent to commit a crime. A building is broadly defined under the law and can include:
- Houses
- Garages
- Stores
- Outbuildings
- Motor vehicles and cars
The Consequences Depend On The Facts In Your Case
With burglary, the punishment fits the crime. While every burglary charge is a felony, the degree of burglary you are charged with and the potential consequences you face will vary depending on the facts in your case.
In particular, burglaries of homes and home invasions are taken very seriously and are vigorously prosecuted in Connecticut. Also, burglaries that include the injury of a homeowner or another person carry weighty consequences. Even the time of the burglary can be crucial. Burglaries at night carry stiffer penalties because of the higher likelihood that someone will be home, regardless of whether or not the dwelling was empty.
