What Are Burglary, Theft, and Robbery?

Burglary is defined as entering another person’s property unlawfully or remaining unlawfully on another person’s property with the intent to commit a crime other than trespassing. Theft is broadly defined as taking property from another person without consent. Robbery, on the other hand, is taking anything of value from a person using force, threats, or intimidation.

Burglary charges are more serious if committed while in possession of explosives or a deadly weapon, menacing another person during the course of the crime or flight from the scene, or breaking into a pharmacy or other location with the intent to steal a controlled substance.

Theft charges generally increase in severity with the amount and type of property taken.

Robbery charges increase in severity if they include possession of a deadly weapon with intent to use it, or threats or actual assault or a person during the robbery. Aggravated robbery can be charged on the suspicion that a person in the company of the accused had a deadly weapon at the time of the robbery.
