LOL why are they calling it “shoplifting” this isn’t some bored kid stuffing a shirt under their clothes. This is an organized raid.
They even mention the use of bear spray. That alone turned it from being shoplifting to a robbery. Since now there’s the inclusion of violence and/or threat of violence
Yep, from what I understand: Larceny (illegal taking and asportation of an item or items) + Assault = Robbery
I know why

Wrong. The second they used the bear spray it went from shoplifting to a robbery. Because now violence or threat of violence is involved.
I’m no lawyer, but it might even be considered armed robbery depending on how the state views sprays.
