Consecuencias legales por daños y robos de metales no ferrosos

Explicación Simple

Si alguien hace daño a otra persona mientras roba metales, puede ir a la cárcel por mucho tiempo. Si la persona robada se lastima o muere, las penas son más severas.

Es como cuando alguien intenta robar en una tienda y, al correr, choca con un cliente. El ladrón no solo se mete en problemas por el robo, sino también por el daño que causa a otra persona.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan intenta robar cables de cobre de una obra en construcción. Al escapar, empuja a una trabajadora, causándole una lesión grave. Juan podría ser encarcelado por varios años debido al daño que causó, además del robo.

Penalidades

Si se causa gran daño, hasta 15 años de cárcel; si hay muerte, hasta 30 años. Multas y revocación de permisos también aplican.
