VANDALISM

If you’ve been charged with vandalism, you are under serious threat. Delaware County vandalism lawyers Schrom & Shaffer, P.C. can help you.

In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, vandalism is defined as damaging, defacing or otherwise destroying another person’s property without their permission or knowledge. While most people think of graffiti when they think of vandalism, there are many other actions that would be charged as vandalism as well, including:

  • Cutting or ripping a bus seat 

  • Slashing someone’s car tires

  • Destroying or toppling over a headstone in a graveyard

  • Breaking a window

  • Carving or scratching into a desk

Although vandalism is considered a non-violent crime, it can still be punished harshly. Depending on the value of the damage done, if you are found guilty of vandalism, you may be required to pay restitution to the victim or even spend time in jail. Community service and probation are also commonly used penalties for vandalism, and being convicted will leave you with a permanent criminal record.
