How much is considered misdemeanor larceny?

Up to $500
Up to $1,000
More than $1,000
More than $5,000

The correct answer is: Up to $1,000

Misdemeanor larceny in North Carolina is defined as the unlawful taking of property valued at less than $1,000. This classification is crucial because it determines the level of offense and the corresponding penalties. When the value of the stolen property is up to $1,000, it falls under misdemeanor larceny, which can result in less severe consequences compared to felonies where property values exceed this threshold. Understanding this threshold is important for those in law enforcement, as it guides the appropriate charges to file and the legal ramifications for the accused. This distinction also underscores the nuances within larceny laws that can affect prosecution and sentencing.
