It was recently reported that a San Diego man was arrested and charged with suspicion of robbery. Stephen Hill, of Del Mar, is accused of robbing a First Republic bank in January. Hill was pulled over in his car by the police when officers noticed Hill matched the description of the bank robber given by bank employees. Hill was taken into custody without incident. Hill allegedly went into the First Republic bank, gave a teller a note asking for money, and left with cash. The note allegedly stated Hill had a gun.

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.
