completed robbery of a passerby Explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbery https://newmexicocriminallaw.com/is-it-burglary-or-robbery/ The Classifications of Robbery Robbery can be classified further, depending on the circumstances of the crime. It may be prosecuted as **completed** or attempted – depending on whether you took the item successfully. A **completed robbery** typically faces harsher punishment than attempted. Likewise, if you cause actual harm to the victim, you will have enhanced penalties as opposed to when you only threaten the victim. |

consummated robbery in a public place Explanation: Roubo a transeunte corresponds to what is commonly referred to in English as mugging, i.e. the crime of attacking somebody violently, or threatening to do so, in order to steal their money, or other property, in a public place. So, robbery is theft that involves violence or threat of violence. The key difference between robbery in general and mugging is that mugging is committed in a public place. However mugging is not a legal term. |
