Defenses and Penalties for Auto Theft

While every auto theft case is different, there are a few common legal defenses which may be applicable to your case. For example, if the car in question can be proven to actually belong to you, then no actual theft occurred and therefore there is no crime.

Penalties for auto theft of a vehicle worth more than $3,500 in Nevada can include:

  • A state prison sentence between one and ten years
  • A maximum fine of $10,000
  • Victim restitution
  • A permanent criminal record

The exact nature of your penalties will vary on a number of factors, primarily the value of the vehicle stolen. Any previous criminal history and the presence of any aggravating or mitigating factors can also contribute to your final sentence. Proven counsel can help you seek a reduction of your charges or, if possible, a complete dismissal or acquittal. Reach out to our Reno theft crime attorney to find out what your legal options are.
