25. Burglary and related offences  

Burglary is an offence under the Theft Act 1968. The offence is not confined to ‘breaking and entering’ in order to steal, but involves entering any building or part of a building as a trespasser and with intent to steal anything in the building, or inflict or attempt to inflict on any person therein any grievous bodily harm. A separate form of burglary is found in s 9(1)(b) of the Theft Act 1968 where a person has entered as a trespasser and thereafter attempted to steal, actually stolen something, inflicted grievous bodily harm, or attempted to inflict grievous bodily harm. This chapter explores burglary and related offences, and also discusses aggravated burglary and the articles of aggravation (weapons), as well as trespass with intent to commit a sexual offence.
