Teen Accused of Stealing Car with Baby Inside Arrested

Fort Lauderdale Grand Theft Auto AttorneyPeople make mistakes. We get that. One young man, for example, recently stole a car in Fort Lauderdale without realizing that there was a one year old baby in the car. He later abandoned the car, and the baby was safely reunited with her father. Having been spotted on a surveillance camera, the young man was apprehended a short time later. He was visibly distraught as he had no idea that the car had an infant in the back seat until it was too late. It is in a case such as this one that a Fort Lauderdale grand theft auto attorney needs to be retained.

Grand Theft Auto Explained

A person is accused of auto theft when they are believed to knowingly take or try to take another car or truck without permission of the rightful owner. The degree of the charge levied against such an individual usually depends on the actual value of vehicle, with cars priced over $100,000 carrying a charge of grand theft auto in the first degree. In order to prove that this crime was committed, the attorney for the state will need to demonstrate that the suspect committed the theft knowingly with an intent to take possession of the vehicle. A Fort Lauderdale grand theft auto attorney will examine the evidence in the case and help mount a vigorous defense for anyone accused of such a crime.
