Robbery

These are words describing situations in which a Perpetrator wrongs a Victim by taking something (Goods) from them. In some cases, the Source location from which the Goods were taken is used to metonymically refer to the Victim. The robbery can be done in a particular Manner (for example, forcefully) and via a specific Means (for example, by threatening the Victim). Half of the team held up the tellers while the others were stationed to report the arrival of police. As opposed to Theft, Robbery focuses on the harm to the Victim and on the Source location from which the Goods have been removed, rather than the Goods themselves.
