Property Offences
Property offences include a broad range of criminal charges involving the unlawful taking or destruction of someone else’s property. These matters can escalate quickly - what starts as a minor misunderstanding may lead to formal charges, potential jail time, and a permanent mark on your criminal record. Common examples include stealing from a workplace, shoplifting, break and enter, malicious property damage, trespassing, and receiving stolen goods. Whether it’s your first offence or you’re facing multiple allegations, legal advice is essential to ensure your rights are protected and your side of the story is heard. At Andrew Byrnes Law Group, our criminal defence team understands how to navigate the ACT and NSW legal systems. We offer straightforward guidance, work with you on realistic outcomes, and provide firm representation in court.
