Theft and Robbery

Duncan Lewis Criminal Solicitors – Theft and Robbery

 

Theft and robbery are offences involving dishonesty – but it is necessary to prove intent for a conviction to be obtained under the Theft Act 1968 or the Criminal Justice Act 1993.

 

Charges may also involve conspiracy, or attempts or incitement to commit theft or robbery.

 

Not everyone facing theft and robbery charges is guilty, but it is vital to take legal advice on allegations relating to theft or burglary as soon as possible.

 

At the early stage of a police investigation it is easy to make errors and misjudgements, which might prejudice the outcome of a case if a case goes to trial.

 

Duncan Lewis criminal solicitors are available 24/7 to advise on criminal charges – and have acknowledged expertise in defending theft and robbery charges and related offences, including charges relating to:

  • Aggravated burglary
  • Armed robbery
  • Bank robbery
  • Fraud and theft
  • Handling stolen goods
  • Shoplifting
  • Street robberies (eg mugging, bag/mobile snatches)
  • Taking without owner consent.

Charges relating to robbery and theft have different levels of seriousness – in some cases where violence is an aggravating factor, or a major crime such as a bank raid is involved, the penalties for robbery and theft may be heavy.
