A woman who is holding a laptop is walking home with her daughter when a man approaches them, points at the daughter and screams at the woman: “Give me your laptop or I’ll break the girl’s neck.” His intention is to cause them both to fear that he will use the violence he threatens and then steal the laptop. The woman throws the laptop at the man who takes it and the woman and her daughter run away. The man is later caught and charged with robbery.
Can the man be guilty of robbery?
A. No, as he did not use actual force on any person.
B. No, as his threats were directed at the daughter and not the woman who was the person in possession of the laptop.

D. Yes, as he has stolen the laptop and immediately before and in order to do so has put the daughter in fear of being then and there subjected to force.

D - Yes, as he has stolen the laptop and immediately before and in order to do so has put the daughter in fear of being then and there subjected to force.
