Burglary is charged in Fort Collins and Larimer County when a person unlawfully enters or remains in a building with the intent to commit another crime. When I read a recent news article about the Burglary of a Louis Vuitton store, it truly sounded like a movie scene, only in real life! According to the report, at least one man and woman were able to access a hallway and then cut a hole in the drywall of that hallway to gain entrance to the high-end store’s storeroom. They were then able to take between $400,000 and $500,000 worth of merchandise including accessories, shoes and other articles of clothing. Through a review of surveillance videos, it was determined that the Burglary occurred between 8:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. If located, the pair would likely be facing Second Degree Burglary charges along with Theft charges.
