Summary

The bill adds a new crime of organized retail theft for groups that steal high‑value retail items and for those who fence such goods. It also expands Connecticut’s larceny statute to cover more forms of theft, including embezzlement, false pretenses, false promises, and extortion. Violations are punishable by Class D felonies, upgraded to Class C when the financial gain exceeds $10,000.
