Common Questions About Robbery
What is Robbery?
Robbery, defined by the Theft Act 1968, occurs when a person steals and, immediately before or at the time of doing so, uses force or puts someone in fear of force. Crimes under robbery include street robbery, mugging, robbing a business, carjacking, and bank robbery. Armed robbery involves using a weapon.
What is the Sentence if I am Convicted of Robbery?
Robbery charges are only heard in the Crown Court, with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Sentences depend on factors such as the use of force, involvement of a weapon, and injury caused. Aggravating factors like victim vulnerability and offence planning increase sentences, while mitigating factors like minimal planning and voluntary return of stolen goods can reduce them.
