Special theft is a law that punishes a person who, at night, intrudes into another's house or building and steals property.
For example, if at night someone breaks a door or wall of a house, enters, and steals property, that person may be punished by imprisonment for 1 year or more and up to 10 years.
① A person who, at night, damages part of a door, wall, or other structure, intrudes into a place referred to in Article 330, and steals another's property shall be punished by imprisonment for 1 year or more and up to 10 years.
If a person commits the offense while carrying a deadly weapon, or if two or more persons cooperate to steal property, the same penalty applies in this case as well.
② A person who steals another's property while carrying a deadly weapon, or jointly with two or more persons, shall also be punished by the penalty set forth in paragraph (1).
