What is Robbery?
Robbery is defined as stealing from someone using violence, threats of violence, or intimidation. It combines the elements of theft and assault, making it a more serious offence. Robbery charges can include armed robbery, where a weapon is involved, and aggravated robbery, where severe injury occurs. These offences are prosecuted under the Criminal Code of Canada and carry severe penalties.

Imprisonment: Standard robbery charges can result in up to 10 years in prison. Armed robbery or aggravated robbery can lead to life imprisonment, especially if a firearm or other deadly weapon was used.
