The crime of robbery was the use of force to take another individual's or organization's property. This was different from simple theft, which did not involve force. It was commonly associated with financial institutions, such as the Bank of Bolias.

Worf was a victim of robbery in 2372 when he found his property, including his tooth sharpener, on an individual he discovered moving through the access tunnels of Deep Space 9. That person acquired it by breaking into his quarters. That act spurned Worf to begin living on the more secure USS Defiant. (DS9: "Bar Association")

Though Worf called the incident robbery, it would more accurately fit the definition of burglary, as the thief entered Worf's quarters to commit theft.

One well-known robbery in the 24th century (according to Quark) was the Lissepian Mother's Day Heist. (DS9: "Who Mourns for Morn?")
