When intent to cause damage is present in a burglary offence, charges may be brought under the Criminal Damage Act 1971 in addition to the initial charges. The Computer Misuse Act 1990 also criminalises unauthorised access to computer systems and is often linked with theft or fraud offences. Finally, you may be charged under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, which governs several offences relating to benefiting from criminal property (for example, money laundering) and the processes by which the proceeds of crime can be seized and recovered.
Tyler Hoffman's criminal defence services include defending those accused of all of the above offences, from their initial police interview to the courtroom.
