Larceny in the third degree corresponds to theft over what amount?

Larceny in the third degree corresponds to theft over what amount?

• A. Over 50,000
• B. Over 1,000,000
• C. Over 3,000
• D. Over 1,000

Answer: (C)

Larceny is graded by how much was stolen, so the degree hinges on value. In this framework, theft valued at more than $3,000 triggers larceny in the third degree. That threshold sits above the fourth-degree cutoff of more than $1,000 and below the higher thresholds for second and first degrees (over $50,000 and over $1,000,000, respectively). So theft exceeding $3,000 is categorized as third-degree larceny, while exactly $3,000 would fall into the lower fourth degree.
