Burglary is unlawfully entering a building with intent to commit a crime. The crime to be committed does not necessarily have to be a theft, nor does the crime actually have to be completed. If the building entered is not a dwelling then the charge is Burglary - 3rd Degree, which is a Class D Felony carrying 1 to 5 years. If the building is a home or dwelling then the charge is Burglary - 2nd Degree, which is a Class C Felony carrying 5 to 10 years. If there is a weapon involved, or if someone is injured (other than the perpetrator(s) of the offense, or if someone is threatened with a dangerous instrument, the the charge is Burglary - 1st Degree, which is a Class B Felony carrying 10 to 20 years.
If the owners or occupants of the property, and/or the commonwealth, can press charges against you. If the victim drops the charges, the commonwealth may still proceed with the case.
If you are a juvenile, you may be committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice and may be placed in juvenile detention or in a detention alternative placement, depending on the severity of the offense and the determination of the Department of Juvenile Justice.
