A person arrested for this criminal offense has been accused of breaking into a private residence or business with the intent of committing a crime. In other words, you can be arrested and charged with break & enter even if you have not committed another crime. Two different types of break & enter offense are:

• Breaking into a private dwelling which can be a house or apartment;
• Breaking into a non-dwelling place such as a restaurant, warehouse, or store. Any property that is considered a commercial property where you have no right to enter.

This criminal charge carries a maximum penalty of ten years imprisonment. The severity of your punishment in most cases will be determined by your current criminal record and circumstances. A person with a long history will get a much harsher penalty if found guilty vs. a person who has just committed their first offense. Having an experienced lawyer fight for your rights in this type of situation is crucial for a positive outcome.

Often your lawyer can negotiate and come to an agreement with the crown that may see your sentence be reduced if you plead guilty and not waste the court’s time bringing the matter to trial.
