Theft, Larceny, Robbery

In New York, theft is referred to as larceny, which is distinct from robbery. Let’s take a closer look:

  • Larceny – Larceny is theft that is intended to deprive a rightful owner of his or her property and to exercise control over that property – without involving intimidation or force. Larceny can be a misdemeanor or felony charge, depending on the value of what was allegedly stolen.
  • Robbery – Robbery at any level is a felony in New York. Robbery involves theft that is accomplished by violence or the threat of violence against another person. Robbery is considered to be a violent crime, and the offense can be aggravated by the use of a weapon or causing harm to victims or others.

While larceny and robbery might often be associated, they are distinct offenses with distinct elements that a prosecutor must prove for a conviction. Your defense should be based on the specific charges you face, and the circumstances alleged.
