The crime of theft is a very serious crime, and the punishment is also very severe. Generally, when the amount is large, the crime can be sentenced to more than three years in prison. If the theft is attempted, different laws will be followed. The standards give different penalties to the perpetrators. At this time, the attempted theft may not be deemed to constitute the crime of theft, so the punishment will naturally not be criminal. According to the relevant provisions of my country's "Public Security Administration Punishment Law" and "Criminal Law", detention for attempted theft is roughly divided into two types: the first is administrative detention. The criminal suspect's personal behavior mainly involves theft, fraud, coaxing and robbing other people. property, or intentionally damages public or private property, the suspect will face administrative detention of not less than five days but not more than ten days after being arrested, and will also be sentenced to not more than five hundred yuan. Fine; if the theft is serious, the suspect will face administrative detention of not less than ten days but not more than fifteen days, and will also be fined not more than one thousand yuan. The second type is criminal detention. This situation occurs because in some relatively serious cases, criminal suspects are caught on the spot and the person needs to be detained directly in the prison. The detention cannot be stopped until the police have obtained sufficient evidence to prosecute the solved case. Criminal detention The period of detention is generally at least fourteen days, but may be extended appropriately under special circumstances, but it cannot exceed thirty-seven days.
