In Minnesota, the criminal offense of “theft” is defined and punishable under Minnesota Statutes §609.52(2).

- Taking another person’s vehicle without permission
- Stealing money, services, property, or merchandise
- Nonconsensual taking, use, concealment, or transfer of another’s property
- Theft committed by false representation or deception
A criminal conviction for a theft-related offense can have dire ramifications regardless of the exact nature of the crime. This offense’s severity means that those who are facing criminal charges for criminal activity involving an act that constitutes “theft” are strongly encouraged to seek legal counsel from a skilled Minnesota theft lawyer who could create a compelling defense tailored to the exact circumstances of their case.
