Robbery

The offence requires the Crown Prosecution Service to prove the client used or threatened violence towards the victim and the client stole or attempted to steal an item or items of property from the victim.

The offence of Robbery is defined as an indictable only offence which means that it can only be dealt with in the Crown Court and usually carries a substantial sentence of imprisonment.

Youths are often dealt with in the Crown Court.

Due to the likely sentence if a client is convicted, it is essential to try and obtain detailed legal advice at the earliest of stages.

The offence covers a range of offences from attempted robbery, street robbery, armed robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.
