larcenists
Those who steal
Larcenists are people who commit larceny—the theft of personal property.
The term appears in legal and journalistic contexts: The larcenists made off with jewelry worth thousands.
It's more formal than "thieves" and less common than "burglars," typically reserved for property crimes rather than violent robbery.
