Armed robbery is a felony offense in California and involves the use of a weapon in carrying out the crime of robbery.
Robbery is defined by
California Penal Code Section 211
as a crime of taking the property of another from their possession by force or fear. Armed robbery is a much more serious crime than robbery because it involves the use of a weapon.
Penalties for armed robbery can result in fines of up to $100,000 and imprisonment of up to 40 years.
