It is a crime that involves using force, intimidation, or threat to remove another person’s property or belongings without their will. It is distinct from stealing in that there is a direct confrontation between the criminal and the victim, which frequently results in violence or the threat of violence.
On Tuesday evening (August 15, 2023), an elderly couple fell victim to an act of robbery by unidentified suspects who were riding a motorcycle in Barangay Tayud, Liloan, situated in the northern region of Cebu.
