Theft in Maryland

The state of Maryland defines theft (also known as larceny) as the taking something from someone or an entity without their permission, but to be convicted of theft, the charges must be proven in court. According to Maryland law, the types of theft include:

  • Larceny

  • Identity Theft

  • Larceny by trick

  • Larceny after trust

  • Embezzlement

  • False pretenses

  • Shoplifting

  • Receiving stolen property

In Maryland, the severity of the charge is based upon the worth of the item stolen. Theft of property worth under $100 carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and fines of up to $500, while someone convicted of stealing property or services worth $1,500 or more is guilty of a felony, which carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines. If the stolen item is valued between $10,000 and $100,000 or more, the maximum penalty could be between 15-25 years in prison.
