What is Theft in Arizona?

Theft encompasses a wide range of actions, each carrying its consequences. It can range from credit card fraud to vehicle theft and even encompass activities such as extortion, identity theft, and taking of government benefits without permission. To be considered theft, taking property must be done intentionally and without permission.

The severity of the penalties for a theft crime conviction can vary greatly, but it is important to approach any charge with due diligence. 

The classification of theft charges varies depending on the value of the stolen items and how they were stolen. Here are some common forms of theft in Arizona:

  • Burglary
  • Robbery
  • Grand theft
  • Identity theft
  • Shoplifting
