Robbery is found under Section 343 of the Criminal Code of Canada, and Subsection (1) states that:

(a) steals, and for the purpose of extorting whatever is stolen or to prevent or overcome resistance to the stealing, uses violence or threats of violence to a person or property;

(b) steals from any person and, at the time he steals or immediately before or immediately after that, wounds, beats, strikes or uses any personal violence to that person;

(c) assaults any person with intent to steal from him or

(d) steals from any person while armed with an offensive weapon or imitation thereof.

When facing a robbery charge, it’s crucial not to hastily plead guilty, as the consequences can be severe, particularly if the court finds aggravating circumstances.

According to Section 344(1) of the Criminal Code:

(a) Any individual committing robbery is guilty of an indictable offence and is subject to imprisonment. 

(b) If the robbery involves using a restricted or prohibited firearm or any firearm associated with a criminal organization, the offender may face life imprisonment with a minimum sentence of five years for a first offence and seven years for subsequent offences. 

(c) In cases where a firearm is used but not under the circumstances mentioned above, life imprisonment with a minimum sentence of four years applies. 

(d) For all other instances of robbery, the penalty is imprisonment for life.

Given the gravity of these potential sentences, seeking legal counsel and mounting a strong defence is essential to protect your rights and pursue the best possible outcome for your case.
