A person entering a place with the intent to commit grand or petit larceny or any felony is guilty of larceny (CPC 459). Orange County Burglary of the first degree occurs when a person enters a home or dwelling in which someone resides. Any other Orange County burglary is burglary of the second degree.
In order to prosecute for OC burglary, the state must prove beyond a shadow of a doubt:
- 1. The accused entered a building/locked vehicle/statutory target
- 2. When the accused entered the building/locked vehicle/statutory target, he/she intended to commit theft or a felony
Punishment for OC burglary varies according to the degree of the crime.
Orange County Burglary of the first degree is punishable by imprisonment in state prison for 2, 4, or 6 years.
Orange County Burglary of the second degree is punishable by imprisonment in county jail for less than one year.
