Virginia Theft Shop lifting Petty Larceny Grand Larceny
“An indictment for compound larceny containing only one count in which both the burglary and larceny were charged is primarily an indictment for larceny. The allegations concerning the burglary are matters of aggravation only, and the test of the sufficiency of the indictment, as an indictment for larceny, is whether the indictment, when stripped of the aggravating matter, embraces still a competent charge of larceny at common law.” Stapleton v. Com. 140 Va. 475, 124 S.E. 237 Va. 1924.
