What Are Some Of The Laws For Breaking And Entering In Massachusetts?

Breaking and Entering at Night comes fromMassachusetts General Laws chapter 266 section 16which states “Whoever, in the night time, breaks and enters a building, ship, vessel or vehicle, with intent to commit a felony, or who attempts to or does break, burn, blow up or otherwise injures or destroys a safe, vault or other depository of money, bonds or other valuables in any building, vehicle or place, with intent to commit a larceny or felony, whether he succeeds or fails in the perpetration of such larceny or felony, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than twenty years or in a jail or house of correction for not more than two and one-half years.”

Breaking and Entering with the Intent to Commit a Misdmeanor comes fromMassachusetts General Laws chapter 266 section 16A, which states “Whoever in the nighttime or daytime breaks and enters a building, ship, vessel or vehicle with intent to commit a misdemeanor shall be punished by a fine of not more than two hundred dollars or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or both.”

At common law, one could not burglarize one’s own dwelling, but the issue turned on rights of occupancy rather than ownership.Commonwealth v. Ricardo, 26 Mass. App. Ct. 345, 354-357, 526 N.E.2d 1340, 1346-1347 (1988) (charge of armed assault in dwelling).

An unoccupied apartment is a “dwelling house” if the tenants have taken possession and have the right to move in, even if they have not in fact done so.Commonwealth v. Kingsbury, 378 Mass. 751, 755-757, 393 N.E.2d 391, 384-395(1979).

An occupied motel room is a “dwelling.”Commonwealth v. Correia, 17 Mass. App. Ct. 233,234-236, 457 N.E.2d 648, 650-651 (1983).

The complaint need not specify the intended felony.Commonwealth v. Porcher, 26 Mass. App. Ct. 517, 521, 529 N.E.2d 1348, 1351 (1988);Commonwealth v. Wainio, 1 Mass. App. Ct.866, 867, 305 N.E.2d 867, 867 (1974).
