Re: Theft

The shortest statute of limitations period I know of for Minnesota state crimes is three years. Without knowing the specifics of your case, therefore, it's probably three years or more.

Re: Theft

The statutes of limitation for any criminal charge would be a period of years. The term is generally longer for a felony than a misdemeanor. Whether your matter could be a misdemeanor, gross misdemanor or felony depends on the amount of the theft.

Any amount over $1000 would be a felony.

You should consult with an attorney in the event charges are filed. Make no statements to police without counsel.
