"Aggregated" just means "constituting a total," "to gather into a whole," etc. Aggregate can also be a mixture of minerals, such as those used for making concrete. So aggregated theft could be a mixture of multiple thefts. It seems to be a legal shortcut for charging someone with a bunch of thefts.

"Aggravated" in the context of law means an extreme amount. The dictionary says the word means "to make worse or more troublesome." There is simple assault, like when 2 people start pushing and slapping, and then there is aggravated assault where weapons are used or someone receives permanent injuries. So aggravated theft is when you either steal as part of an organized group or you commit theft using particularly dangerous means. It may also be used as another term for grand larceny, and that is when you steal certain items (firearms, vehicles) or steal anything with a value of over $10,000.

So aggregated theft is a mixture of multiple thefts, none all that serious in themselves, and aggravated theft would mean you stole as part of a group/gang, robbed using weapons, or stole a very large amount in a single take.

An aggravated crime, theft in this case, is made more serious by an additional factor. Possibly the possession of a weapon, or the threat of violence.
