Phoenix, Arizona, Car Theft Defense Lawyer
In Arizona, to be charged with theft of means of transportation, simply referred to as auto theft, in Arizona, all you have to do is be caught riding in a vehicle without the owner's consent. Every year, many people in Phoenix and surrounding communities are charged for riding in a stolen vehicle without knowing it was stolen, borrowing a car on the assumption the owner wouldn't mind, or not returning a borrowed car at the promised time. Auto theft is a felony under Arizona law, and a conviction can mean a prison sentence. In addition to the formal charge of theft of means of transportation, you may also face charges of endangerment if innocent passengers were involved.
