It is illegal to enter any privately-owned property including but not limited to houses, vehicles, rooms, apartments, shops, warehouses, mills, barns, stables and water vessels with the intent to commit larceny or any other felony.

Even if no goods or monies are taken in the process, just the act of entering may bring about a charge for burglary.

Burglary is punishable by up to six years in prison. If special circumstances exist, the defendant may face additional time.
