ABSTRACT
In the last chapter we focused on the offence of theft. This chapter discusses other offences contained in the Theft Act 1968, together with one offence from the Theft Act 1978. Some of these have theft as an essential element, such as robbery. Others are connected to theft, such as going equipped for theft or handling stolen goods.
14.1 Robbery Robbery is an offence under s 8 of the Theft Act 1968 and is, in effect, theft aggravated by the use or threat of force.
