Facing a Robbery Charge in Western Australia?

A robbery charge can immediately affect your liberty, your employment, and your future. Whether you have been charged with robbery or are under investigation, having experienced legal advice is critical. At Kate King Legal, our Perth lawyers act for clients facing robbery charges at every stage of the criminal process, providing practical, expert guidance from first contact with police through to trial or sentencing.

Types of Robbery Offences Under WA Law

Robbery offences in Western Australia are governed by the Criminal Code Act Compilation Act 1913 (WA). The charge and penalty depend on the circumstances of the alleged offence, including whether a weapon was used or whether the offender acted with others. The main categories include:

  • Robbery – Criminal Code Act Compilation Act 1913 (WA)
  • Aggravated Robbery – Criminal Code Act Compilation Act 1913 (WA)
  • Armed Robbery – Criminal Code Act Compilation Act 1913 (WA)
  • Robbery in Company – Criminal Code Act Compilation Act 1913 (WA)
  • Attempted Robbery
  • Breach of Bail Related to a Robbery Charge

Robbery is a serious indictable offence, and depending on the circumstances, your matter may be dealt with in the Magistrates Court or the District Court. Our lawyers will advise you on the strongest possible course of action from the outset.

What Penalties Could You Face?

A robbery conviction can result in significant imprisonment, particularly where the offence involved a weapon, was committed in company, or caused harm to the victim. Robbery carries a maximum penalty under the Criminal Code, with aggravated and armed robbery attracting higher maximums still. A conviction can also affect your employment, any professional licences or clearances you hold, and your future travel and visa prospects. Acting promptly with experienced legal representation gives you the best chance of a good outcome.

Your Defence Options

When facing a robbery charge, we carefully review the evidence and the circumstances of your arrest, identify any available defences, and work with you to determine whether your strongest path is to contest the charge at trial or negotiate the best possible outcome at sentencing. At Kate King Legal, we gather evidence to support your position and present your case persuasively before the court. Our lawyers are experienced across the full range of robbery-related offences.
