Assemblymember Evan Low (D-Silicon Valley) has introduced a bill that would strengthen the punishment for package thieves.
Under AB 1210, which was introduced on February 21, says anyone with the intent to commit theft of a package shipped through the mail or delivered by a public or private carrier would be punishable as a misdemeanor by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or as a felony by imprisonment in a county jail for 16 months, or 2 or 3 years.
The move comes as many police department are posting package theft photographs of suspects on social media.
Under existing law, a person who enters a house, room, apartment, or other specified structure, with intent to commit larceny or any felony, is guilty of burglary in the first or 2nd degree, as specified. Burglary in the first degree is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for 2, 4, or 6 years, and burglary in the 2nd degree is punishable as a misdemeanor by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or as a felony by imprisonment in a county jail for 16 months, or 2 or 3 years.
