Understanding Robbery and Related Theft Offenses 

Robbery is a form of theft but can be combined with other charges if weapons are used, or injuries occur during the crime. These additional charges can include assault, illegal possession of a deadly weapon, and aggravated robbery.  

The stakes for robbery and associated charges are high, robbery and theft crimes can include:  

• Robbery: A robbery involves using violence or intimidation to take someone else's property, accomplished through verbal threats or physical harm. 

• Aggravated Robbery: If weapons like guns or knives are used during a robbery, it's classified as an aggravated or armed robbery. 

• Auto Theft/Carjacking: Nevada doesn't have a specific law for carjacking. It falls under grand larceny if a vehicle is stolen. Robbery or aggravated robbery charges may be added if violence or weapons are involved. 

• Burglary: A burglary is defined as unauthorized entry into any structure with the intent to commit a felony, assault, or battery; to commit theft; or to obtain property under false pretenses. 

• Petit Larceny: Petit larceny involves unlawfully taking someone else's property with the intent to deprive them of it. 

• Shoplifting: Shoplifting can be classified as larceny or grand larceny, depending on the value of the merchandise taken and the circumstances surrounding the event. 

Robbery charges carry severe penalties in Las Vegas, including lengthy prison sentences. Judges often show little leniency towards robbery suspects, and prosecutors relentlessly pursue convictions.  

A robbery conviction can carry a prison sentence of 2-15 years. If a weapon was used during the crime, an additional 1-15 years can be added to the sentence. Given the serious threat a robbery charge poses to your freedom, securing the assistance of a lawyer who will work hard to protect your rights is essential.
