The crime of robbery is committed by someone who steals someone else’s property, uses or threatens to immediately use violence against a person or leads a person to the state of unconsciousness or vulnerability. Robbery belongs to intentional crimes of the intent to seize someone else’s property for the purpose of its appropriation.
