A: GREAT QUESTION

N.C.G.S. § 14-74 covers Larceny by Employee charges in North Carolina.

Ordinarily, that is a Class H felony. BUT, that is dependent on the amount at issue.

If the value of the money, goods, or other items that are illegally taken is $100,000 or more, the it is a Class C Felony in North Carolina.

Larceny by Employee and Embezzlement charges are sometimes confused with one another.

Even lower-level felonies involving crimes of theft, dishonesty, and/or stealing can have long-lasting consequences.

Indeed, a conviction for even misdemeanor larceny can make finding and keeping a good job difficult.

This is a deceptively complex area of criminal law in NC.

Seek legal counsel immediately.
