In Hawaii, burglary or breaking and entering with intent to steal is a common juvenile offense. Whether committed by a minor or adult, there are severe penalties for a burglary conviction. While the burglary of a commercial building may be deemed a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the exact circumstances and amount of property stolen, the burglary of a residence is a felony-period. Sentencing for felony burglary can include a year or more in prison, steep fines, restitution, lengthy probation periods and community service.
