Generally, burglary is an unlawful entering of a building with the intent to commit a crime inside. It involves both an entry and a malicious intent. You can also be charged with this offense for entering a retail store and shoplifting if you were previously issued a trespass notice / trespass affidavit revoking your privilege to enter that store.
