The Complexity of The Charges
Fraud:
is the use of deception or deceit to manipulate another person to give up something of value.
Theft:
is broadly defined as the act of intentionally either temporarily or permanently depriving another person of their property, without their consent.
Property Crimes:
these crimes range from simple theft to vandalism to breaking and entering to car theft, possession of stolen property and arson.
The legal penalties if you are convicted can be severe, including imprisonment and making financial restitution to the victim.
