Under Utah’s theft statutes section 76-6-403, in proving the theft offense certain evidence can be used to show a single offense embracing the separate offenses including:
- receiving stolen property;
- false pretense;
- embezzlement;
- larceny;
- larceny by bailees;
- larceny by trick;
- blackmail; and
- extortion.
An accusation of theft may be supported by evidence that it was committed in any manner specified in Sections 76-6-404 through 76-6-410, subject to the power of the court to ensure a fair trial by granting a continuance or other appropriate relief where the conduct of the defense would be prejudiced by lack of fair notice or by surprise.
