In New York, theft crimes are known as larceny. Larceny is defined in New York as intentionally and wrongfully taking the property of another for at least an extended period of time. Larceny is either a misdemeanor of felony depending on the value of the property taken or the kind of property, like credit cards or cars. In addition, larceny laws in New York encompass other crimes like extortion, embezzlement and larceny by trick, all of which are felonies. • The most common form of larceny charged in New York is Petit Larceny and involves shoplifting from a store, of course, allegedly so. Petit Larceny is a class A misdemeanor and it is uncommon for the charge to result in a criminal record.
