Burglary under the Theft Act 1968 occurs when a person enters a building as a trespasser with the intent to commit theft, inflict grievous bodily harm, or cause criminal damage. The man entered the house as a trespasser with the intention to steal, which constitutes burglary. The fact that he did not take anything or cause damage does not negate the offence of burglary.
Key Point: Burglary is committed by entering a building as a trespasser with the intent to commit theft, inflict grievous bodily harm, or cause criminal damage. The intention at the time of entry is crucial for establishing the offence.
