Understanding Theft, Larceny, and Robbery in Michigan

I have taken almost every type of larceny and theft crime all over the State of Michigan . These larceny, theft crimes may include both misdemeanors and felonies. When facing theft, larceny, or robbery charges in Michigan, the complexities of the legal system can be overwhelming. Joseph Arabbo, Michigan’s leading criminal defense attorney, is here to navigate you through this challenging time with expertise and dedication.

The Difference Between Theft, Larceny, and Robbery

Theft in Michigan is a broad term that encompasses various offenses involving the unauthorized taking of property. It can range from petty theft, like shoplifting, to more severe forms of theft, such as embezzlement.

Larceny refers specifically to the stealing of property. Michigan law distinguishes between Petit Larceny (stolen property valued at less than $200) and Grand Larceny (property value exceeding $200). The penalties vary based on the value of the stolen property.

• Petit Larceny (MCL 750.356): Up to 93 days in jail and/or fines up to $500 or 3 times the value of the stolen property, whichever is greater.
• Grand Larceny (MCL 750.356): Penalties can range from 1 year in jail to 10 years in prison, depending on the value of the property stolen.

Robbery involves theft with the use or threat of force. It’s considered a more serious crime due to the element of force or intimidation.

• Armed Robbery (MCL 750.529): Life imprisonment or any term of years, with enhanced penalties if certain aggravating factors are present.
• Unarmed Robbery (MCL 750.530): Up to 15 years in prison.

Michigan Specific Laws and Penalties

Michigan’s Penal Code provides clear definitions and penalties for theft-related crimes. Here are a few key statutes:

• Retail Fraud (Shoplifting): Michigan categorizes shoplifting based on the value of the merchandise stolen, with three degrees of retail fraud.
  • First Degree (MCL 750.356d(1)): Stolen property valued at $1,000 or more, punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
  • Second Degree (MCL 750.356d(2)): Property valued between $200 and $1,000, punishable by up to 1 year in jail.
  • Third Degree (MCL 750.356d(3)): Property valued at less than $200, punishable by up to 93 days in jail.
• Embezzlement (MCL 750.174): Penalties vary based on the value of the property embezzled and the defendant’s relationship to the victim, with maximum penalties ranging from 93 days in jail to 20 years in prison.

I have mastered the art of being an excellent Attorney – something not many know who to do. Yes, even the old Attorneys who claim to have a whole lot of experience. Years in the business means very little if you aren’t passionate, aggressive, intelligent and resilient. I have been able to transform the worst of situations into a beautiful outcomes because I great at what I do. I meticulously craft the perfect scenario by culling through all of the evidence and intelligently and respectfully destroying the prosecutor’s position, arguments and theories. Every single case results I’ve taken has resulted in an outcome better than we ever imagined. It’s just what I do. But I know talk is cheap, so thank God for reviews. Shout out to all of my wonderful clients for leaving me such amazing feedback. I truly appreciate you. Check out my reviews here!

Aggressive Legal Services: I am not afraid of a damn thing. I make sure to get every piece of evidence in your matter. Many times such evidence will include copies of the police reports, any video/dash cam footage, interview of witnesses and any detectives or police officers handling the case. Truth is most Attorneys out there are LAZY and won’t go the extra mile for you because THEY DON’T CARE. The want you in and out of their door quick. Because that’s what THEY do. I see it all day long and I think to myself… what a wonderful world? Props if you got that reference. But really, it’s a shame more people in our line of work don’t care. But I do. I won’t just take your money. I work for every penny of it and I get damn good results. There are no exceptions.

IMMEDIATE LARCENY AND THEFT CASE CONCERNS

Arrest, Interrogation, Arraignment, Bond

After the arrest, an arraignment is scheduled at the court having jurisdiction of the matter (where the offense occured). At the arraignment, the court will set bond, which may be a substantial amount in felony matters or when a person is deemed a flight risk or danger to the community. At arraignment ALONE, Joseph Arabbo has saved clients thousands of dollars by negotiating a minimal/personal bond that might otherwise be needed for a bondsman.

Never talk to the police: No matter how friendly, kind, understanding or compassionate a police officer may be, (repeat after me) never talk to the police. Police are quite crafty at getting information out of you in order to use against you.
