attempted robbery
Thwarted theft effort
Attempted robbery is a criminal offense where someone tries but fails to take property from another person through force or intimidation.
The charge applies whether the attempt was thwarted by the victim, bystanders, police, or the perpetrator's own incompetence: He was convicted of attempted robbery after the store clerk fought back.
The legal consequences are typically less severe than for completed robbery but still substantial.
