What is the statue of limitations for grand larceny in Virginia?

Answer 1

Virginia has a statute of limitations on certain crimes which is spelled out in Virginia Code §19.2-8. This means the charge must be brought within the time period established by Virginia Code from the date of the offense. Most misdemeanor offenses have a statute of limitations of one year. One of the more common exceptions to this rule is the offense of petit larceny which has a five year statute of limitations. There are other exceptions which may apply and the code section should be referenced. There are no statute of limitations on the commencement of felony charges.

Answer 2

Larceny of an item with a value of $200 or more is considered grand larceny in Virginia while a value of less than $200 is considered petit larceny. Grand larceny also includes theft from the person of money or thing with a value of $5 or more or larceny of a firearm not from the person. Petit larceny includes theft from the person of money or thing with a value of less than $5. Another significant distinction between grand larceny and petit larceny lies in the level of punishment. Grand larceny is an unclassified felony with a specific punishment assigned by the code section of not less than one year in prison but not more than twenty or in the discretion of a jury or judge trying the case, a jail sentence of not more than 12 months and/or a fine not to exceed $2,500. Petit larceny is a class 1 misdemeanor offense.
