VA doesn't seem to have a specific charge called "unlawful entry," although that may be the everyday term that police and prosecutors use to collectively describe one of several other crimes that VA has on the books related to the illegal entry of buildings.
Some of those crimes are actually more serious than breaking and entering and some are less.
Unlawful entry is the statutory crime of entering onto someone else's property without their consent by fraud or force. Unlawful entry is broader than, and is separate from, the crime of burglary which requires the breaking and entry of the dwelling of another with felonious intent.
Statutes prohibiting unlawful entry were passed to protect the public from acts not defined under burglary."
VA Code § 18.2-92 defines the crime of breaking and entering as follows:
"If any person break and enter a dwelling house while said dwelling is occupied, either in the day or nighttime, with the intent to commit any misdemeanor except assault and battery or trespass, he shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony. However, if the person was armed with a deadly weapon at the time of such entry, he shall be guilty of a Class 2 felony.
