Understanding Theft Crimes in Destrehan

With an annual theft rate of 8.95 per 1,000 residents per year, Destrehan sees a high number of property crimes that cost residents over $1 million per year. Shoplifting, stolen vehicles, and misappropriation of funds are all common allegations that fall under the umbrella of theft. Depending on the value of the stolen items, theft charges can range from misdemeanors to felonies. 

While theft is a serious accusation, the charges can arise out of misunderstandings. Criminal intent plays a role in these cases, and an honest mistake could lead to dropped charges. To present these cases, prosecutors rely on evidence like surveillance footage, circumstantial evidence, and witness statements, among other forms of evidence. 

Why You Should Hire a Theft Crimes Lawyer

If you are facing theft charges, your top priority should be to hire a theft crimes lawyer who knows what it takes to protect you from life-altering theft crime penalties. A Destrehan theft crimes attorney represents clients in River Ridge Estates, Ormond Country Club, Ormond Place, and elsewhere in Destrehan. They can independently review your case to see whether the prosecutors have the evidence they need to move forward with it. 

If the state does not have the evidence they need to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, your attorney can call for your charges to be dropped. An attorney can also calculate the true value of the stolen items to see if your charges are appropriate. Whether your case resolves through bargaining with prosecutors, going to trial, or another outcome, your attorney’s understanding of theft crime laws can prove crucial for protecting your freedom.
