Property Damage / Burglary

Within this category of offences lie actions like breaking and entering, burglary, and possession of tools or items related to unlawful entry.

These charges, on their own, hold substantial gravity, but they frequently coincide with additional allegations, resulting in a multifaceted and demanding legal defence. 

• Aggravated Burglary: Entering a building or property while armed, inflicting harm on occupants, or committing other acts.
• Criminal Trespass: Unlawfully entering or remaining on another person’s property without permission.
• Property Offences: Possession of stolen property, criminal damage or vandalism charges.

Seeking legal counsel should be your priority to mitigate the possibility of these charges escalating.
