Robberies are a type of crime that involve the taking of property or money from an individual or institution by force or threat of force. HEISTS, which are six letters long, are robberies that involve a large group of people and often require planning and coordination. Thefts, also six letters long, are robberies that involve the taking of property without the use of force. HOLDUPS, seven letters long, are robberies that involve the use of force or the threat of force to take property or money.
