California Penal Code 211 defines robbery as “the felonious taking of personal property in the possession of another, from his person or immediate presence, and against his will, accomplished by means of force or fear.” Robbery is punishable by imprisonment in state prison for up to nine years. Robbery is also considered a “serious felony” and will count as a “strike” under the California Three Strikes Law. Read our Three Strikes Law section for more information.

Many people are unsure of the difference between burglary and robbery. A person can be facing burglary charges if he/she entered a building, vehicle, vessel, or cargo container with the intention of either stealing something or committing a felony (California Penal Code 459). A person can be facing robbery charges if he/she unlawfully took or attempted to take personal property in the possession of another, from his person or immediate presence, and against his will, by means of force or fear (California Penal Code 211). Both charges can involve serious penalties if convicted.
