What is the difference between theft and burglary in Florida?

Theft involves taking someone else’s property without permission with the intent to deprive them of it permanently. Burglary involves entering a structure or dwelling with the intent to commit a crime inside.

Burglary charges are typically more serious and require a felony defense because they involve the unauthorized entry into someone’s property or home. Both charges are prosecuted aggressively in Miami, and both require the skills of experienced legal representation.
