Petit Larceny NY State
Petit larceny (Penal Law 155.25) is stealing property of any value. It is charged as grand larceny instead when the value exceeds $1,000, or when certain property is involved, such as a credit or debit card, a firearm, or property taken from another person’s body. Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the Fifth Degree is often charged in tandem with petit larceny. Both are class A misdemeanors, punishable by up to 364 days in jail, a fine of up to $1,000, probation of two or three years, or a conditional discharge that can include community service.
Some specific examples of larceny include:
- Larceny by trick or embezzlement
- Obtaining property by false pretenses
- Issuing a bad check
- Shoplifting
- Larceny committed at the workplace
