What is the sentence for Aggravated Burglary?

Being charged with a crime as serious as aggravated burglary is a very worrisome and stressful experience. Understandably, you might be wondering what could happen next and whether you might go to prison. Like others in your position, you probably also have a laundry list of questions in your mind about the offence itself and how it is handled in the criminal justice system. In this article, we outline the offence of aggravated burglary and answer some of the most pressing questions those accused usually have. As ever, if you have been charged with an offence, you must secure the advice of a qualified and experienced criminal defence solicitor.

Is aggravated burglary a serious offence?

Yes, aggravated burglary is considered a serious offence in the UK. Under Section 10 of the Theft Act 1968, aggravated burglary is defined as breaking and entering a dwelling with the intent to commit a crime, while in possession of a weapon or to cause injury. This is considered a more serious offence than simple burglary, which is defined as breaking and entering a dwelling with the intent to commit a crime.

Under the Theft Act, a ‘weapon’ is considered to be:

• a ‘firearm’, which includes an airgun or air pistol, or an ‘imitation firearm’, which is anything that looks like a firearm, whether it can be fired or not.
• a ‘weapon of offence’ is any object that is made or modified for causing injury or incapacitation to a person, or is intended by the person carrying it for such use.
• an ‘explosive’ is any object made to produce a practical effect through explosion or intended by the person carrying it for that purpose.

Aggravated burglary is so serious that it carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. As always, the exact sentence you receive if found guilty will depend on the specific circumstances of the case and the severity of the crime. Factors that may be taken into account include the use or threatened use of violence, the type of weapon used, and any injuries caused to the occupants of the dwelling during the burglary.

What classes as aggravated burglary?

Aggravated burglary is a wide-ranging offence and numerous situations might trigger prosecution. Here are some examples:

• Breaking and entering into a dwelling to steal valuable property, while armed with an imitation gun.
• Breaking and entering a dwelling to attack or harm the occupants, while armed with a baseball bat.
• Breaking and entering a dwelling to commit a crime, while in possession of a weapon that is specifically designed to cause serious injuries, such as a firearm or knife.
• Breaking and entering a dwelling to commit a crime and causing serious injury to the occupants during the commission of the crime.

What is the sentence for aggravated burglary?

Being such a serious crime, the offence of aggravated burglary is triable only on indictment, which means it will only be tried in the Crown Court. If found guilty, or if you plead guilty, the maximum sentence you can receive is life imprisonment.

That said, as with other crimes, the court will take numerous factors into account in sentencing. A lesser sentence will be given if it can be proven that the offender:

• did not steal anything, or only stole property of low value to the victim (whether economic, commercial, cultural, or personal)
• made voluntary reparation to the victim
• played a lesser or subordinate role if acting with others or performed a limited role under direction
• has no previous convictions or no relevant/recent convictions
• showed remorse
• has a good character and/or has demonstrated exemplary conduct
• has taken steps to address addiction or offending behaviour
• has a physical disability or serious medical condition requiring urgent, intensive, or long-term treatment
• has a mental disorder or learning disability that was not related to the commission of the crime
• is young and/or lacks maturity
• is the sole or primary caregiver for dependent relatives

Can you get a suspended sentence for burglary?

Yes, it is possible to receive a suspended sentence for burglary in the UK. A suspended sentence is a sentence that is deferred, or ‘suspended’, for a specific period of time. If the offender completes the terms of the suspended sentence, the sentence is not imposed, and the offender does not have to serve time in prison.

Note, however, that a suspended sentence is not guaranteed for any type of crime, and the court has the discretion to decide whether to impose a suspended sentence or a custodial sentence in a particular case. It is also important to note that a suspended sentence is still considered a criminal conviction and can have serious consequences, including the loss of certain rights and privileges.

What is the difference between robbery and aggravated burglary?

Robbery and aggravated burglary are both serious crimes in the UK, but they have some important differences:

• Robbery is defined as taking property from another person using force or the threat of force. It is a specific type of theft that involves violence or the threat of violence.
• Aggravated burglary is defined as breaking and entering a dwelling with the intent to commit a crime, while in possession of a weapon or to cause injury.

One key difference between the two crimes is that robbery involves the taking of property from a person, while aggravated burglary involves breaking and entering a dwelling with the intent to commit a crime – no actual taking of property needs to occur. Additionally, robbery can be committed in any location, while aggravated burglary is specifically limited to dwellings.

Why is it called aggravated burglary?

The term ‘aggravated’ is often used in criminal law to describe offences that are more serious than the base offence. For example, aggravated assault is a more serious form of assault that involves the use of a weapon or the intent to cause serious bodily harm. Similarly, aggravated robbery is a more serious form of robbery that involves the use of a weapon or the threat of violence.

As such, aggravated burglary is considered a more serious offence than simple burglary.

How many years do you get for burglary in the UK?

Under Section 9 of the Theft Act 1968, burglary is defined as breaking and entering a dwelling with the intent to commit a crime. This is different from aggravated burglary in that the former does not involve the use of a weapon.

If the offender is convicted of domestic burglary, the maximum sentence is 14 years imprisonment. The least serious cases may be punished by community service. The full sentencing guidelines are available here.

What’s the difference between breaking and entering and burglary?

Breaking and entering and burglary are two different crimes that are often confused. Breaking and entering refers to the act of illegally entering a building or other enclosed structure without permission. This can include entering through an open window or door or using force to enter a locked structure.

Burglary, on the other hand, is a specific type of crime that involves breaking and entering a dwelling with the intent to commit a crime. A dwelling is defined as a place that is used as a home, such as a house, apartment, or other residence. The crime of burglary requires an intention to commit a crime, such as theft, once inside the dwelling.

So, while breaking and entering can be a standalone crime, burglary requires both breaking and entering and the intention to commit a crime. Burglary is considered a more serious offence than simple breaking and entering and carries a higher maximum sentence.

What is aggravated criminal damage?

Aggravated criminal damage is a more serious form of criminal damage, which is defined as intentionally or recklessly causing damage to the property of another person. Aggravated criminal damage is defined as causing damage to property while in possession of an offensive weapon, or with intent to endanger life.

What is the maximum sentence for aggravated criminal damage?

The maximum sentence for aggravated criminal damage is life imprisonment, but as with all crimes, the actual sentence will depend on the harm caused and culpability (i.e. blameworthiness) of the offender. Factors that may be taken into account in determining the sentence include the value of the property damaged, the extent of the damage, and any injuries caused to owners of the property or other victims.

Where to get more help with an aggravated burglary offence?

If you are facing potential charges for aggravated burglary, it is crucial to seek legal representation from an experienced theft solicitor. The right legal representation will greatly impact the outcome of the case, and if the circumstances permit, a solicitor might be able to get your case dropped before it goes to trial. The team at Stuart Miller Solicitors has extensive experience handling theft, robbery, and burglary cases and can provide valuable guidance on how to proceed.

Thank you so much to Mohammed Zeb And Sophie. We was supported in all steps along the way of my little sister’s case. They made us extremely comfortable and sufficiently advised us in every aspect. All of our questions were answered in detail and all information we needed was clearly outlined to us. With the prosecution pushing for jail time, Mr Zeb was able to quickly diffuse the situation in court and get an outcome for us that was much less detrimental. We are so happy that we chose to go with this firm and would recommend Stuart Miller to any and everyone. Thank you again to Mr Zeb and Sophie for all your support, we will never forget it.

We had an issue with the police raising an incorrect safeguarding issue against our daughter because we used a Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) which they disagreed with (wet cupping therapy). The police wanted us to sign a community resolution order admitting that we assaulted our child! We spoke to Mohammed Zeb who swiftly acted to contact experts in our field and his field, along with experts in social services matters and gave us recommendations to challenge the police. Their weak case quickly dissolved into no further action when the police realised that we would not accept a resolution order claiming we assaulted our child.I would strongly recommend Mr Zeb to all and would use nobody but them in the future.

Stuart Millers were great at dealing with a tricky case and managed to get a great outcome. From the first meeting and hearing, Abu Kibla was friendly, knowledgable and very helpful and you can see a genuine care for his clients. Luke Collins did the day to day and was great at preparing clear written representations and dealing with the CPS. Kathleen Joyce attended the final hearing and despite a last minute time change by the court the day before, she was well prepared, presented the case and mitigation arguments perfectly and was very reassuring and comforting throughout the whole day. Professional, responsive and reasonable fees. Would definitely recommend the firm.

Unfortunately I got myself into abit of trouble and didn't have a solicitor at the time. When I was in the police station I was asked if I wanted a solicitor and I said yes and I was then put in a cell till I was interviewed. Officer come to my cell to take me to my interview and asked if I wanted to consult with my solicitor I said yes, when we got to the Consultation room Mr Zeb was waiting for me and he ensured me that everything was going to be okay and this case will be solved with no problems at all and he was right I got NFA and the case was dropped that's all thanks to Mr Zeb he was very professional in this field and was intouch with me and kept me updated with everything that was going on. I will definitely use this firm again in future.

Words can not do justice to Stuart Miller Solicitors. I am forever grateful to Mohammad Zeb and Savannah who came to me like angels along with their appointed barrister Harry Mcdonald when my son was on trial. With my son having three charges against him along with joint enterprise which included affray and violent disorder. They took the case on and from the very 1st day kept me updated with the progress and supported me throughout the case. With my son in remand and a serious injury to his face they kept him motivated and in the right frame of mind with video links. Also they were available to him even on weekends if he had any questions. Their guidance and professionalism was absolutely outstanding. Savannah was superb throughout this case. Her approach to everything made it easy for me and my family. The barrister Harry took the case on at short notice and what a outstanding approach he had. Being in court for the 1st time for my son he represented my son superbly. After arguing his defence for my son for 7 gruelling days my son was found not guilty of all charges. I can not praise Stuart Miller enough. A must go to firm if you are in a unfortunate situation and need legal help. Wish Mohammad Zeb, Savannah, Harry Mcdonald and everyone at Stuart Miller the very best for the future. A very big thank you from me and my family.

Unfortunately got myself in a situation where I needed legal representation. My solicitor was great, but attention needs to be drawn especially to Amirah. She well and truly went over and beyond what most people would do, to help me resolve the situation. Nothing was ever too much, in fact it was her who pushed things further than I'd have even asked her to, she really does care about not just her occupation, but the people she helps. Cannot say enough good things about her... not just good legal representation, but an actual lovely person who genuinely cares, and you don't get that very often anymore. So, thank you to Stuart Miller Solicitors in Wood Green, but definitely, more importantly, to Amirah.

Jake Elliott

11:46 02 Aug 23

Abu Kibla represented me for my second drink driving offence, and not only that I had no license or insurance. Perhaps I am exposing myself saying that but you need the context as Kibla managed to get my ban reduced from 3 years to 2.5, and only a 200 pound fine. Aside from being very professional at what he does, he's also a good guy, who has your back. He explained my situation to the judge in a clear way I wouldn't have been able to. Don't hesitate!

R M

20:05 01 Aug 23

I would like to thank everyone at Stuart miller especially to Kibla for their excellent work. At a time when things were very hard for me they helped me win my case. I hoped for total support from Stuart Miller when I instructed them, I got so much more. I would highly recommend Stuart Miller to anyone seeking for a reliable legal team. Many thanks again for everything, you were brilliant.

08:22 11 Aug 22

I really don't know where to start, but this firm is amazing. From my initial contact, then my first meeting With Mr Zeb, I knew I was going to be in good hands.I found myself in a very difficult situation in March 2019 and my case did not come to an end until July of this year. Throughout, there has always been good communication and although the outcome of my case was not looking good, I'm glad the team were honest about what to expect.I would like to thank Reem Khatib especially, who went above and beyond. I couldn't have asked for a better solicitor. Very thorough and informative and helped put my mind at ease as there were several aspects of my case that made things extremely difficult. One thing I loved about Reem was that she cared. Really, really cared, which is what you want in a situation like this. In the lead up to my sentencing hearing, Reem was abroad and still checked in with me.I was expecting a custodial sentence with a starting point of 5 years and managed to leave court with a suspended sentence/community service. This could only be down to Reem's dedication and hard work. Nobody expected this and I am very glad to have had her working on my case. As well as my Barrister, Lily, special thanks to you also. I really don't think I would have had this outcome had it not have been for you two.I am glad this is finally over and once again would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Reem. She really fought for the best possible outcome, which I received.I will never find myself in any trouble again, but would highly recommend Stuart Miller Solicitors for anyone that may need a solicitor.Thanks againJahnel

Stuart Miller helped me navigate through the legal process for the first time, providing excellent guidance throughout the entirety of such a stressful period. I would like to thank Selina Guler for her wonderful work in preparing my defence, as well as Joe Barlow, who were exceptionally helpful throughout the process, explaining everything that arose in detail so as to ensure I could make informed decisions throughout. My experience felt personalised, and gave me the reassurances I needed to calm my nerves, in comparison to the regular ignorant demeanour that typically comes hand in hand with law firms. I felt supported and in safe hands from my initial enquiry right through to the end.
