Theft Crimes and Fraudulent Refunds
A person who takes property while in a store and later presents that same property to the clerk in the store for a refund is guilty of a theft crime. Courts have held that taking of property with the intent to fraudulently obtain a refund constitutes both an intent to permanently deprive the store of property and a trespassory taking. If you are arrested or charged with a misdemeanor or felony theft related crime including a fraudulent refund theft, contact Christine McGuire, the Santa Cruz Criminal Defense Attorney
