What are the penalties if my daughter were convicted of theft as a summary offence?

Back to Top

A person convicted of theft under $5,000 as a summary offence can be fined up to $2,000 or imprisoned for up to six months or both. These are maximum penalties, however, and the penalties for a first offender would likely be much less severe. As well, other options are available to your daughter as a Young Offender.
