What Is the Difference Between Theft & Larceny?

In North Carolina, theft is also referred to as larceny and is considered a criminal offense. Larceny involves taking another person's property with the intention of denying the rightful owner access to their belongings.

When Is Theft a Felony?

Larceny is a criminal offense that is taken seriously in North Carolina. The severity of the penalty is based on the value of the property that was allegedly stolen. Generally, larceny is considered to be a felony, but some types of theft can be classified as "petty misdemeanors."

According to N.C. Gen. Stat. 14-72(a), “larceny of goods of the value of more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) is a Class H felony.” Depending on certain factors, a Class H felony can include four to eight months in jail. However, larceny is considered a felony regardless of the value of the stolen property under specific conditions.

These conditions include:

If the property was taken from someone's person
If the stolen property was a firearm or, explosive device; or
If the property stolen was any record or paper in the custody of the state archives; or
If the theft included breaking and entering
