Burglary is when someone enters into a house, apartment, car, store, shop, etc. with the intent to commit larceny (theft) or any felony. Any burglary of an “inhabited dwelling house” is burglary of the first degree and all other burglaries are of the second degree. First degree burglary is a felony punishable by 2, 4 or 6 years in the state prison. Burglary in the second degree is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for up to a year or by imprisonment in the state prison. Burglary convictions can have other serious consequences like enhancing future sentences under California’s Three Strikes Law.
