Severity of Theft Crime Convictions in Maryland

Burglary is the crime of breaking into a residence or another person's property, such as a corporate building, in order to commit a felony. For example, individuals can be charged with burglary if they break into a home in hopes of stealing jewelry. They can also be charged with this crime if they break into an office building and vandalize the walls with graffiti. In Maryland, burglary is organized into several different categories.

Maryland categorizes theft crimes into misdemeanors and felonies, and the penalties may include:

• 1 ^st Degree Burglary: Felony that carries 20 years of incarceration
• 2 ^nd Degree Burglary: Felony that can result in 15 years' incarceration
• 3 ^rd Degree Burglary: Felony that can result in up to 10 years of incarceration
• 3 ^rd Degree Burglary with Intent to Steal a Firearm: Felony with up to 20 years' incarceration
• 4 ^th Degree Burglary: Misdemeanor that carries up to 3 years of incarceration
• 4 ^th Degree Burglary with Possession of Burglar's Tools: Misdemeanor that carries up to 3 years of incarceration

First-degree burglary involves breaking and entering the dwelling of another person with the intent to commit a crime of violence or theft. Second-degree burglary only concerns burglary of a person or a storehouse, which could include a pier, a garage, an aircraft carrier, or other locations. Third-degree burglary involves breaking and entering a residence to commit any sort of crime. Ms. Dolan can handle any type of burglary charge with confidence.
