Expert Defence for Your Break and Enter Charge

A break and enter charge in NSW is extremely serious, carrying consequences that may affect your freedom, reputation, employment and future.

At Daoud Legal: Sydney Criminal Defence & Traffic Lawyers, we provide specialist legal advice and strategic defence for all break and enter offences. From the earliest stage, we work to challenge the evidence and pursue a withdrawal, downgrade or the most lenient outcome available.

We represent clients across the full range of break and enter cases, including:

Understanding “Break and Enter” in NSW

Break and enter involves entering a home, building or premises without permission, usually with intent to steal or commit another offence. It doesn’t need force – opening an unlocked door or window can still amount to “breaking.” Aggravated and special aggravated break and enter are more serious forms of the offence, involving factors like weapons, threats or being in company.

Penalties for Break and Enter

Break and enter is treated as a serious criminal offence, and sentencing can include convictions, supervised orders or significant imprisonment depending on the circumstances.

Aggravated forms carry some of the heaviest penalties in NSW, and a conviction can restrict your employment, travel and future opportunities. We assess the specific charge, the prosecution’s case, and whether the court may consider alternatives to jail in your situation.

How We Fight Your Break and Enter Charge

A break and enter allegation is one of the most serious property-related offences in NSW. At Daoud Legal, we act immediately to understand the facts, challenge weak or incorrect allegations, and protect you from harsh penalties, including imprisonment, wherever possible.

1. Immediate Legal Support – As soon as you contact us, we assess your situation, explain the specific break and enter charge and outline the likely penalties. No matter the specifics of the allegation, early advice can significantly influence your outcome.

2. Evidence Review & Case Strategy – We review all evidence, CCTV, forensics and statements, to assess entry, “breaking,” intent, and whether the charge is overstated as aggravated. From this, we develop a focused defence strategy.

3. Negotiation & Charge Review – Many breaking and entering charges can be withdrawn or reduced through early negotiation, particularly where intent, identity or entry cannot be proven. We prepare targeted submissions to secure the best outcome.

4. Court Representation – If your case proceeds, we prepare thoroughly and present strong submissions to minimise penalties and, where possible, avoid imprisonment.

5. Ongoing Support & Guidance – We provide steady support, clear advice and consistent communication from start to finish.

FAQs

What is aggravated break and enter?

Aggravated break and enter involves additional factors such as being armed, using violence, being in company, or causing actual bodily harm. The exact definition and minimum sentence depend on specifics of the incident and the section you are charged under.

Can I be charged with break and enter if I never went inside the property?

Yes. You can still be charged if police allege you attempted to enter, interfered with a door or window, or took steps showing intent to commit an offence. Attempted break and enter carries serious penalties, but intent and identity must be proven.

Can I be charged if nothing was taken?

Yes. Break and enter with intent is still an offence even if nothing is stolen or damaged. Police only need to allege that you intended to commit an offence inside.

What if I didn’t intend to commit a crime inside?

Intent is a key element of breaking and entering. If the prosecution can’t prove what you intended to do inside the property, the charge may be downgraded or withdrawn.

What if I’m accused of being an accessory to a break and enter?

You can be charged as an accessory even if you didn’t enter the property yourself. Helping plan the offence, acting as a lookout, or assisting afterwards may still lead to serious charges.

Can breaking and entering charges be withdrawn?

Yes. Charges may be withdrawn if the evidence is weak, identification is unclear, intent can’t be proven, or the matter has been overcharged as aggravated.

Do all break and enter charges lead to jail time?

Not always – but aggravated and special aggravated break and enter often carry heavy custodial penalties, and courts treat these matters very seriously.

Do I need to go to court for a break and enter charge?

In most cases, yes. Break and enter matters almost always require a court appearance. Our lawyers guide you through every step and prepare the strongest possible defence.
