    Default Petit Larceny

    Hey, one of my friends was charged with petit larceny. He is 18, and he found a digital camera sitting on a table at his school, and he took it. For about two weeks, he did not report it in, till the principal checked him. They found it, and he was suspended. The person who it did belong to, wants to press charges but is only 17. The camera was 200$. could the 17 yr old press charges or is it up to the parents? my friend did plead that he took it. what would the punishment be if he went to court? and he was arrested before from shoplifting from another store, about a year ago. He did the community service and is off probation from that though. But what excatly would happen? please reply ASAP

    A victim may request action and then Police will act based on evidence

    Laws, and whether this would be a juvenile court matter or adult criminal matter, depend upon the state involved.
