Armed Robbery Defense Attorney in Atlanta
What is Armed Robbery in GA?
Under the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) ยง16-8-40, an armed robbery is a "robbery committed with an offensive weapon, any replica of an offensive weapon, or a device having the appearance of any such weapon" with the goal to take another's property.
Note - This includes any suggestion of a weapon (like a finger in a coat) or even if a weapon is found at the time of arrest that was not used in the commission of a robbery.
Unfortunately, Atlanta has long been considered one of the most violent cities in America. Armed robberies are common in our city, ranging from stranger hold-up cases to bank or store robberies to home invasions. Armed robberies are viewed more severely than robberies, because although robberies often involve intimidation or force, armed robberies add an extra level of violence: the presence and/or use of weapons.
