How much is it a criminal offence to steal a credit card?
Legal analysis: Whoever steals a credit card shall be punished as theft. If the amount of stolen property reaches 1000 yuan to 3,000 yuan, it constitutes a relatively large amount of stolen property and shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance. The specific standard for a large amount is determined by the higher people's courts and higher people's procuratorates in various regions in the range of 1000 to 3,000 yuan according to local specific conditions. If the amount of stolen credit cards does not reach 1000 yuan, it shall not constitute a criminal offence.
