Robbery and Burglary Penalties in Maryland Are Harsh

Robbery is a felony that involves the use of force or threat of force in an effort to take property or services from another party. During the commission of the crime, the offender may cause serious physical harm to another person or be armed with a deadly weapon. The degree of the robbery charge depends on the details of the offense, including the amount of harm or injury inflicted on others. Penalties for conviction are stiff and may include prison terms up to 10 years for robbery, 20 years for armed robbery and 30 years for armed carjacking.

If Convicted, You Could Spend Decades in Prison

Burglary, also referred to as breaking and entering, involves entering a building, home or motor vehicle to commit theft or a felony. Penalties for conviction include:

  • Felony burglary in the first degree — maximum 20-year prison sentence
  • Felony burglary in the second degree — maximum 15-year prison sentence
  • Felony burglary in the third degree — maximum 10-year prison sentence
  • Trespass/fourth-degree burglary/entering without permission — maximum three-year prison sentence
