Grand Larceny

Grand Larceny is a Felony criminal offense in Las Vegas, Nevada. Nevada Revised Statute “NRS” 205.220 defines Grand Larceny as, any intentionally stealing, taking and carrying away of the personal goods or property of another, with a value of $1,200 or more. For example, if Jesse walked into a Best Buy, and removed from the counter 2 pairs of the newest edition of Beats by Dre headphones, with a total value of $1,200, without the intention of paying for it, he has committed a Grand Larceny felony offense. If charged, Jesse would face a fine of up to $10,000, restitution to the victim, and 1-4 years in prison.  Under this example, Jesse could also be charged with Burglary, if the prosecution can prove he entered the Best Buy with the intent to commit a felony, in this case, said felony being grand larceny.

It should be noted, that the potential prison sentences increases, depending on the value of the property stolen.  If the value of the stolen property or funds is $5,000 but less than $25,000, or more you would be charged with a felony and face 1-5 years in prison, along with fines, and any restitution owed to the victim. If the amount in question is at least $25,000 but less than $100,000 the potential prison term is 1-10 years. And lastly, any charge with an amount of $100,000 or more the defendant would face 1-20 years in prison.

It is important to note, Nevada law makes a distinction from grand larceny of personal property of another and grand larceny of a motor vehicle. Nevada Revised Statute “NRS” 205.228 defines Grand Larceny of a Motor Vehicle as the “intentional stealing, taking and carrying away, driving away or otherwise removing a motor vehicle owned by another person.” If charged with grand larceny of a motor vehicle, you will be charged with a felony and face 1-5 years in prison, a fine of up to $10,000 and restitution to the victim.
