Robbery: Stealing Using Violence Or Threats Of Violence

Robbery is a very serious charge and carries severe penalties. At Risen Inch & Fraser, our criminal defence lawyers understand that a strong, tailored defence is necessary to defend a person charged with robbery.

Based in Oshawa and serving the Durham Region and the rest of Ontario, we recognize how seriously the consequences of a conviction will impact our clients, and work tirelessly towards eliminating or reducing the charges.

How Robbery Is Different From Theft?

Robbery differs from theft when it involves:

• Violence or the threat of violence
• A weapon or an imitation weapon

Since violence is threatened or used in this offence, the sentence for robbery is usually severe. A sentence can be increased or decreased based on the circumstances of the case, and can involve a sentence in a federal penitentiary.
