Armed Robbery in Phoenix, Arizona

There are essentially three different types of robbery charges that can be filed in Phoenix, Glendale, Mesa, Tempe and Scottsdale: Robbery, Armed Robbery, and Aggravated Robbery. The most serious of these criminal acts is armed robbery which is committed when a person uses or threatens to use a gun, knife or other deadly weapon during the commission of a robbery.

The law in Arizona regarding armed robbery is strict – a person can be convicted of this offense even if they only “simulate” a weapon. For example, if an individual commits a robbery in Phoenix by pointing a toy gun at the victim or by simulating the shape of a weapon with a hand placed in a jacket pocket, armed robbery charges can be filed.
