Robbery is a theft crime that involves taking another person's property by way of force, physical violence or threats. Due to the violent nature of the offense, robbery is considered an extremely serious crime by law enforcement and prosecutors. Even if the robbery attempt is a complete failure, attempting to steal another's property with the use of threats or force will still constitute robbery.
If during a simple theft or attempted theft, the offender intentionally or recklessly causes bodily injury to another person, threatens injury, or places the victim in reasonable fear of injury, the charge becomes robbery.
Aggravated robbery is a more serious form of this offense. It is a robbery during which the offender causes serious bodily injury to another, brandishes or uses a deadly weapon, or robs a victim over 65 years of age or who is disabled.
