Burglary Laws in Florida

Burglary can be defined as the unlawful breaking and entering a house, auto, warehouse, store, barn, or other structure with the intention of theft, mayhem, assault and battery, or another crime. It does not matter if the defendant in a burglary charge succeeded in the intended act once the alleged burglar entered the premises unlawfully - the important part of the case is that they entered and intended to commit the act. The prosecution does not have to prove that you carried out the act once the property was entered, only that you had the criminal intent of doing so.
