Get Started Today
In NSW, a break and enter offence involves unlawfully entering a property with the intent to commit a serious indictable offence, such as theft or assault. This includes actions like forcing open a door or window to gain entry.
Penalties vary based on the specifics of the offence. For instance, “break, enter, and commit a serious indictable offence in circumstances of special aggravation” can carry a maximum penalty of up to 25 years of imprisonment.
While imprisonment is a possible outcome, especially for serious cases, first-time offenders may receive more lenient sentences, such as fines or community service, depending on the circumstances.

Penalties range from fines and community service to imprisonment, depending on the severity of the charge and your criminal history. We work to minimise legal consequences and explore alternative sentencing options where possible.

Potential defences include lack of intent to commit a crime after entry, mistaken identity, or having permission to enter the property. Each case is unique, so it’s essential to consult with a legal professional to determine the best defence strategy.
Yes, a conviction results in a criminal record, which can impact current employment and future job opportunities, especially in roles requiring a clean record.
