Burglary and Breaking and Entering Charges

The crime of burglary is defined under Virginia law as the unlawful entry into a home, business or other structure with the intent to commit a felony or any larceny.

For example, if a person enters a home with the intent to steal a television, but finds that the television is too heavy to move and leaves without taking anything, that person may still be charged with burglary under the law. There need not be victims present during a burglary, but if they are and a victim is injured or killed during the crime, the severity of the charges will be increased.
