Robbery
Robbery is the commission (здійснення) of theft in circumstances (в умовах) of violence. It involves (ускладнювати) the application or the threat of force in order to commit the theft or to secure escape (зникнення).
Robbery takes many forms — from the mugging of a stranger in the street in the hope of stealing whatever he may happen to have in his possession, to much more sophisticated robberies of banks or similar premises (володіння, приміщення), involving numerous participants and careful planning. So robbery is the felonious taking of another's property from his person or in his immediate (безпосередній) presence, by violence or intimidation (залякування).
