Theft, Fraud & Property Offences

Property offence defence at a glance

Explore the theft, fraud, and property charges defended by Compass Law.
Possession of stolen property is fundamentally a knowledge case: not simply whether an item was possessed, but whether the person knew it had been obtained through crime.
Break and enter charges require more than evidence that someone was near or inside a property.
03

Robbery

Robbery allegations combine a property offence with violence, threats, assault, or weapon-related conduct, making identification and sequence particularly important.
04

Fraud

Fraud cases are often decided through records rather than dramatic events.
Theft over $5,000 allegations often involve property whose ownership, value, or movement can be documented in detail.
Theft under $5,000 cases often look simple on the surface but can turn on intention rather than the value of the item.
