Cargo Theft becomes a 2nd Degree felony when the value of the stolen cargo falls within which range?

• A. $1,500 - $10,000
• B. $10,000 - $100,000
• C. $100,000 - $200,000
• D. $200,000+

Answer: (C)

Cargo theft is assigned a felony degree based on the value of what’s stolen. The statute places a second-degree felony at cargo values within a specific mid-range, specifically between $100,000 and $200,000. When the value falls in this window, the offense is charged as a second-degree felony, with higher values pushing the charge to a higher degree and lower values to lesser degrees or misdemeanors. So, the value range of $100,000 to $200,000 is the bracket that makes the offense a second-degree felony.
