ROBBERY AND BRIGANDAGE Section 332 - “Robbery Defined”: In robbery there is either theft or extortion. “Theft” is robbery if, in order to the committing of the theft or in committing the theft or in carrying away or attempting to carry away property obtained by the theft, the offender for that end voluntarily causes or attempts to cause to any person death or hurt or wrongful restraint or fear of instant death or of instant hurt or of instant wrongful restrain. “Extortion” is “robbery”, if the offender at the time of committing the extortion is in the presence of the person put in fear of instant death, of instant hurt or of instant wrongful restraint to that person or to some other person and by so putting in fear induces the person so put in fear then and there to deliver up the thing extorted.
