Description
CHIEF JUSTICE BILANDIC delivered the opinion of the court: The defendant, Michael Zaremba, was indicted in the circuit court of Du Page County for violating section 16-1(a)(5) of the
Illinois theft statute (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. 38, par. 16-1(a)(5)). Section 16-1(a)(5) states: "A person commits theft
when he knowingly * * * obtains or exerts control over property in the custody of any law enforcement agency which is explicitly
represented to him by any law enforcement officer or any individual acting in behalf of a law enforcement agency as being
stolen." The indictment in this case alleged that the defendant "knowingly obtained control over property in the custody of
the Illinois State Police, being two sets of fiberglass T-tops, having a total value in excess of $300.00, which was explicitly
represented to the defendant by * * * a law enforcement officer of the United States, as being stolen * * *." A violation
of section 16-1(a)(5) involving property valued in excess of $300 is a felony offense. See Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. 38, par.
16-1(b)(4).
