Richmond Hill and Savannah GA Burglary criminal law lawyer – search and seizure
Facing burglary charges in the Chatham County GA area
Burglaries of hotels, motels, lodging houses, or other places where lodging of transients is the main purpose can create reporting problems to investigators. If numerous units under a single manager are burglarized and the offenses are most probably to be reported to the police by the manager instead of the individual tenants, the burglary must be considered as a single crime.
Examples are burglaries of numerous rental hotel rooms, rooms in flop houses, rooms in youth hostels, and units in a motel. If the individual living areas in a building are rented to the tenants for a period of time that would preclude the tenancy from being classified as transient, then the burglaries should most likely be reported separately by the tenants. These burglaries should be reported as individual offenses.
Instances of this latter kind of multiple burglary are the burglaries of numerous apartments in an apartment house, of the offices of a number of commercial firms in a business building, of the offices of separate professionals within one building, or of a number of rooms in a college dormitory.
