Theft is defined as when one person obtains or exercises unauthorized control over any property having value to the owner, i.e. real property, tangible or intangible personal property, labor, services, etc., with the purpose to deprive him or her of that property permanently or for a significant period of time. Theft occurs when the property is not in another person’s possession and is outside the immediate presence of the property holder.

Burglary is entering or unlawfully remaining in a building (e.g. dwelling or business) with the intent to commit theft or another crime specified by law. It is a second degree felony if committed in a dwelling. It is a first degree felony if it is aggravated burglary.

Robbery Crimes Defined

• Robbery is an unlawful and intentional taking or attempt to take personal property in the possession of another from his/her person or immediate presence, against the person's will by the use of force or fear. There must be intent to permanently or temporarily deprive the person of the property. To state it simply, robbery is defined as a person intentionally or knowingly using force or fear of immediate force against another in the course of committing theft or wrongful appropriation. U.C.A. 76-6-301
• Armed robbery amounts to robbery while using or threatening to use a deadly or dangerous weapon.
• Aggravated robbery amounts to robbery with aggravating circumstances that include, but are not limited to, armed robbery.
• Attempt to commit aggravated robbery charges are often brought based on the actions taken immediately before and after the incident. For example, fleeing the scene of the attempted crime can constitute these charges.

Although in Salt Lake City Utah armed robbery and aggravated robbery are often used interchangeably, the statute only refers to aggravated robbery because it is more comprehensive, it includes the following:

• the use or threat of use of a dangerous weapon
• causing serious bodily injury
