You may be charged with burglary

If you broke into a room, vehicle, or residence and had the intent to steal or commit any type of felony then you could be charged with burglary. Despite what many people believe, forced entry isn’t a requirement to be charged with burglary. While it’s true that breaking and entering is often involved, it’s not necessary for this wobbler offense to be charged.

You may be charged with vandalism

The “breaking” part of the phrase “breaking and entering” often leads to charges of vandalism. This typically happens when a person got into the property by breaking a window, kicking down a door, or otherwise damaging property.

You may be charged with trespassing

In the event that you didn’t force your way onto or into the property, then you could be looking at charges of trespassing. California law defines trespassing as willfully entering the property of someone else with the intention of interfering with their rights to their property.

You may be charged with theft

If you took something – even if you didn’t actually break and enter a property – then you could be look at theft charges. Petty theft is the category charged for cash or goods that’s deemed worth less than or equal to $950. Grand theft is the category charged for theft of cash or goods deemed worth more than $950.
