Theft is considered a non-violent property offence that covers various illegal acts, such as shoplifting or taking personal property from a friend, family member, or stranger without their knowledge or consent. Theft offences are divided into two categories: theft over $5,000 and theft under $5,000. If you are convicted of a theft offence, your sentence can range from a discharge to fines or jail time. For a theft under $5000 conviction, you could face up to 2 years in jail, and for theft over $5000, you could face up to 10.
