Canadian Criminal Law Question: what is the statute of limitations for theft (both over and under $5,000)?

If you have an answer, please cite the relevant section of the Criminal Code of Canada (or other legislation).

Answers:
For summary offences, the SOL is 6 months. (see Criminal Code, section 786 (2) ).
For indictable offences, there is no SOL.Theft under $5000 Cdn is a hybrid offence, (Criminal Code, section 334) meaning it can be prosecuted summarily or by indictment. If by summary, the 6 month SOL exists, but if my indictment, there is no time limit.
See http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/c-46/text.h... for the complete Criminal Code.
