Burglary is a crime that involves breaking and entering another's property with the intent to commit a crime. The crime does not actually need to be carried out for the defendant to face burglary charges; the alleged offender need only have unlawfully entered the property with the intention of committing the offense. Although theft is the crime most frequently associated with burglary, intending to commit any type of crime may qualify as burglary.

Burglary of an occupied dwelling:

• First degree felony

Get a Solid Defense for Your Burglary Charges in Scranton

One factor that makes burglary charges so serious is the fact that the defendant may face a conviction both for burglary and the offense which he or she intended to commit, if the intended offense is a first or second degree felony. In light of this and the penalties that may be imposed for a burglary conviction alone, it is important that you take no chances in the face of this serious situation.
