Understanding Georgia Theft Crimes

Georgia theft laws address many types of stealing, ranging from misdemeanor shoplifting to violent robbery, as well as complex financial crimes like fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering. The severity of the criminal charges and potential penalties a person faces for Georgia theft crimes vary based on the value of the item or items allegedly stolen.

• Misdemeanor theft, where the merchandise stolen is valued at less than $1,500, is punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine of $1,000.
• If the stolen items are valued at $1,500 or more, theft is a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison.
• Theft of items valued at $25,000 or more is a felony, punishable by up to twenty years in prison.
