Grand Larceny in Loudoun County

Grand Larceny cases in Loudoun County are dismissed at a substantially higher rate than the statewide average, with 57.9 percent ending in dismissal compared to 45 percent across Virginia. This 12.9 percentage point difference is significant and suggests that Loudoun County prosecutors or judges handle these cases more favorably toward defendants than typical. The 42.1 percent conviction rate reflects this pattern. Notably, no defendants were acquitted at trial, indicating most resolutions occur through dismissal or plea agreements rather than jury trials.

Nearly 29 percent of Grand Larceny charges are reduced to lesser offenses, with Petit Larceny accounting for roughly two-thirds of those reductions. When convictions do occur, they result in a median sentence of 365 days and an average fine of $400. The typical case takes about four months to resolve, though the range is wide—25 percent finish within seven weeks while another quarter extend beyond eleven months. Cases that proceed to conviction generally carry more substantial sentences, with average prison time exceeding 595 days.
