Recently, a Stevenson Ranch couple was arrested on suspicion of grand theft after it was reported that they stole items from the home they were renting.

There’s little information regarding how the couple came to be suspected of stealing from the home, but according to reports, investigators arrested the couple around 7 am on Wednesday the 21st on suspicion of grand theft. They were taken to the SCV Sheriff Station to undergo booking and processing and were released on bail around 6:30 that evening.

The items believed to have been stolen included several home furnishings and appliances. However, the investigation is still ongoing and additional stolen items may come to light in the near future.

What Is Grand Theft?

Grand theft is covered under California Penal Code 487 PC and is described as unlawfully taking property with a value of $950 or more, a firearm, or motor vehicle, or directly from a victim’s person. The crime can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the circumstances of the case and the defendants’ prior criminal history.

Grand theft is an extremely common charge, but it can become complicated in situations that aren’t as clear-cut and straightforward as people might like.

What Are the Penalties for Grand Theft?

When charged as a misdemeanor, grand theft penalties include up to 1 year in county jail and/or 1-year probation. Felony convictions increase the potential incarceration time to three years.
