About Orange County Burglary Charges

Burglary is a criminal offense that is often referred to as "breaking and entering." In committing burglary, a perpetrator would unlawfully enter another's property with the intent of committing a crime. Whether or not the intended crime was successfully carried out, an individual may still face burglary charges, as burglary involves an unlawful breaking and entering for the purpose or with the intention of committing a criminal offense of some kind, not the actual committing of the intended offense.

One may face burglary charges for unlawfully entering another's property for any crime, but is most often associated with theft.
