This statute prohibits organized retail theft—the illegal taking of merchandise from stores with the intent to resell it or deprive the owner of the goods. The offense is triggered when someone takes, carries away, or obtains property through theft, shoplifting, or fraud without the owner's consent. A conviction carries up to 11 months and 29 days in jail and/or a fine up to $2,500. The penalty can be enhanced based on the value of property stolen and whether this is a repeat offense.

Penalty: Class A misdemeanor; 11 months 29 days; fine up to $2,500
