What offence is committed if someone threatens to strike you to steal your wallet?

  1. Theft

  2. Robbery

  3. Assault

  4. Assault with a weapon

The correct answer is: Robbery

The correct answer is robbery, which involves taking property from a person through the use of force or the threat of force. In the scenario described, the individual is not just threatening you with physical harm but is explicitly doing so in order to steal your wallet. This combination of intimidation and the intention to deprive you of your belongings characterizes the act as robbery rather than simply theft or assault. Robbery encompasses both the theft of property and the element of violence or intimidation. This makes it distinct from theft, which does not require any threat of violence or direct confrontation. While assault and assault with a weapon might also involve threats or physical harm, they do not necessarily involve the intention to steal property, which is a critical component of robbery. Therefore, the threat to strike you to take your wallet specifically classifies the crime as robbery.
