Pennsylvania’s Robbery Laws

Depending on the nature and circumstances of the offense, robbery can be charged as a first-degree, second-degree or third-degree felony. The penalties range between each felony – a first-degree felony can result in a sentence of up to 20 years in prison while the penalty for a third-degree felony is seven years in prison.

Robbery typically includes the following criminal elements:

  • The offense caused serious bodily injury or harm to someone
  • Threats to commit any first or second-degree felony
  • Threatened someone to the point of making them fear for their life or well being
