PENNSYLVANIA BURGLARY
Our Pennsylvania Burglary and Theft Defense Lawyers Can Help
When someone is charged with Burglary, sentences of two to three years in prison can be carried out, and range up to decades depending upon the severity of the charges and the persons criminal history.
There are both state and federal laws prohibiting burglary. However, in order for someone to be federally prosecuted for burglary, they would have had to break into a federal building, such as a federal court or post office.
When it is charged, it is a very serious crime and can carry guidelines or recommended sentences of two or three years in prison, even for first time offenders, and range up into decades in prison if you have a more significant criminal history and the amount of the theft or damage is significant.

Are There Minimum Sentences for Burglary?
In state court, there can be a mandatory minimum sentence for burglary. This is usually common if the burglary is a second or third “strike,” meaning this is not the first time the person being charged has committed a crime.
“Strike” offenses are previous violent crime convictions, such as aggravated assault. However, burglary can be considered as a strike offense if people are present in the home or on the property when the burglary occurs.
With these circumstances, if convicted, a defendant could face a mandatory ten-year sentence in prison for a second-strike conviction and a minimum twenty-five years to life sentence for a third strike conviction.
