Holiday Package Theft: Fort Lauderdale Criminal Defense Attorney Unwraps Florida Theft Consequences

Stealing a holiday package from someone's porch could lead to 30 years in prison. South Florida has tough theft penalties and is one of the most common areas for package theft, explains Fort Lauderdale Criminal Defense Attorney Manny Serra.

The Miami-Fort Lauderdale area has the THIRD-highest number (nationwide) of packages stolen between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. More widely speaking, South Florida also has the third-highest larceny-theft rate as well - in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area the larceny rate is 23.6 per 1,000 people.

During the holiday season in South Florida, doorstep package theft is very common. But it’s not the only kind of theft crime that increases - shoplifting, and stealing from cars and homes also increases during the holiday season in Florida.

Theft Crimes are serious in Florida, and can result in as few as 60 days in jail and as many as 30 years in Prison depending on the crime and the value of the items stolen.
