Burglary is the act of unlawfully entering a building or a home for the purpose of committing a crime. Burglary is often called “breaking and entering.” Burglary charges in Minnesota can have very serious consequences because a conviction can make it difficult to find a job, a home, or even funding for college. In other words, a burglary conviction can make your life much more difficult.
