Burglary, also called breaking and entering (B&E)[1] or housebreaking,[2][3] is a property crime involving the illegal entry into a building or other area without permission, typically with the intention of committing a further criminal offence. Usually that offence is theft, larceny, robbery, or murder, but most jurisdictions include others within the ambit of burglary. To commit burglary is to burgle,[4] a term back-formed from the word burglar, or to burglarize.[5][4]
