Maryland Robbery Laws
In Maryland, robbery is a felony offense defined as the taking and carrying away of property from someone else or from their presence and control, by force or threat of force, with the intent to deprive the victim of the property. To convict a person of robbery, the State must prove:
- That the accused took property from the victim or from their presence and control;
- That the accused took the property by force or threat of force; and
- That the accused intended to deprive the victim of the property.
Robbery is a serious crime in Maryland, carrying a potential sentence of up to 15 years in prison. If the value of the property taken is $500 or more, the court must instruct the jury to render a special verdict regarding the value of the property, which can impact sentencing.
