Understanding Larceny
The laws concerning larceny are fairly complex, and the crime itself is effectively broken down into several elements based on the following definition: larceny is the taking and carrying away of tangible property with the intent to deprive its owner of the property. This means that the item must be:
- The property of the person, not just in the person’s custody
- It must be physically taken
- It must be physically moved from its starting position
- It must be taken without consent
- It must have value
If these conditions are met, larceny has likely been committed.
