Robbery is considered to be the act of depriving someone of their personal property while in their presence through the use of fear or force. One takes the property from the person or from their immediate surroundings. The act can be classified as "armed" or "aggravated" and the severity of the punishment can be increased if a deadly weapon such as a gun is used or the victim suffers physical harm.
