Page "Robbery" Paragraph 57

from the person or presence of the victim-robbery requires that the property be taken directly from the person of the victim or from his presence.

Note that this is different from larceny which simply requires that property be taken from the victim ’ s possession, actual or constructive.

Property is “ on the victim's person ” if the victim is actually holding the property, or the property is contained within clothing the vicitim is wearing or is attached to victim's body such as a watch or earrings.

Property is in a person ’ s presence when it is within the area of his immediate control.

The property has to be close enough to the victim's person that the victim could have prevented its taking if she had not been placed in fear or intimidation.
