Handling Burglary in Augusta Georgia

During a burglary, entry follows the breaking. In simple terms, it occurs when there is physical intrusion into anothers property or building by any part of the intruders body. A momentary intrusion is sufficient. When a thief kicks open a window to get access to a apartment, the momentary insertion of the foot constitutes an entry.

If an instrument is used to get access to a home, the intrusion of the instrument is not an entry unless it is used to accomplish the intended felony. If the instrument is used to steal something from inside the home, there is an entry sufficient for burglary.

The entry can be constructive. In other words, it is not always required that the thief enter the dwelling. If he or she directs another person legally incapable of committing the crime, such as a child, to enter, then the entry is imputed to the thief.
