Aggravated Motor Vehicle Theft (Grand Theft Auto) in Colorado

Colorado Motor Vehicle Theft is a serious crime and is usually considered a felony with serious consequences. More often than not, these crimes occur in the juvenile courts, and it is not uncommon for some kids to jump in a car, hotwire it, and take it for a joy ride. Unfortunately, the state doesn’t think this is funny and if you are an adult, instead of a seemingly small penalty in Juvenile Court, you are looking at the potential of a lengthy prison term, a felony conviction, or perhaps both.

First Degree Aggravated Motor Vehicle Theft Charges and What They Mean

There are two (2) basic classes of motor vehicle theft in our state. First Degree Aggravated Motor Vehicle Theft is the more serious and though it is often charged as a class 4 felony (F4), it can sometimes be charged as high as a class 3 felony (F3) and can carry from 4 to 12 years in state prison with a five-year term of parole.
