1. EMBEZZLEMENT
What Happens to Stolen or Embezzled Property

2. Embezzlement as defined
by the Nevada Revised
Statutes (NRS) is a type of
theft crime where the thief
steals money or properties
of the company for their
own good. Common
examples are taking money
from the cash registrar and
keeping goods to be taken
home later.

3. What happens when someone is
caught embezzling?
1. You report it to the police and an arrest ensued. This
is the usual procedure followed by the suspect being
apprehended and then put under trial.
2. If the money or the property is right at the hand of
the suspect or stored somewhere, the police would
have to recover it for evidence.
3. So to be clear, you do not get the money or property
back, at least for a while. This is because it will be
used to prove the defendant guilty of embezzlement.
4. The embezzled property will be given back to the
owner through the order of a magistrate upon the
conviction of the suspect.

4. How do you get the embezzled
money or properties back?
• A peace officer will have custody of your embezzled money or
property once they were retrieved.
• A magistrate will order the delivery of what is rightfully yours.
• Know that you will have to pay some necessary fees to secure
the possession of the embezzled money or property.
• Failure to claim the embezzled money or property within six
months will mean the turnover to the county treasurer or
sheriff of the metropolitan police where they will be put up
for auction, be given to charity.

5. If you are running a business, you should be aware
that embezzlement can happen and you might be
the next person going to the Evidence Vault of Las
Vegas looking for your stolen or embezzled item.
Alternatively, you could be the accused. There
might come a time where you slid a
unintentionally dollar inside your clothes and
before you realize it, you have committed
embezzlement. If this is so, you will need the help
of a Las Vegas criminal defense attorney to
represent you as the money or property you have
embezzled could mean a blow to your own
finances. You will have to restitute what the
victims had lost and it will all come out of your
own pockets.
