Legal Definitions - stouthrief

STOUTHRIEF

Stouthrief is a type of robbery that occurs in or near someone's home, but does not involve breaking into the house.

1. A thief sneaks into a person's backyard and steals their lawnmower.

2. Someone steals a package from a person's front porch.

These examples illustrate stouthrief because they both involve theft that occurs in close proximity to someone's home, but without actually breaking into the house. In both cases, the thief takes advantage of the victim's proximity to their home to commit the crime.
