Indiana Carjacking Penalties
The carjacking statute was repealed in July of 2014, and is now included under Indiana’s general robbery statute. This means carjacking crimes face the same level of punishment as robbery crimes in Indiana.
Level 5 Felony
The general crime of carjacking is a Level 5 Felony, punishable by up to 6 years in prison, up to $10,000 in fines, and additional court-ordered penalties.
Level 3 Felony
If the crime of carjacking involves a deadly weapon or moderate bodily injury to another person, it is a Level 3 Felony, punishable by up to 16 years in prison, up to $10,000 in fines, and additional court-ordered penalties.
Level 2 Felony
If the crime of carjacking involves serious bodily injury to another person, it is a Level 2 Felony, punishable by up to 16 years in prison, up to $10,000 in fines, and additional court-ordered penalties.
