What is the term for the crime when an armored truck guard is attacked and robbed of the receipts?

1. Theft

2. Burglary

3. Robbery/hold-up

4. Dismemberment

The correct answer is: Robbery/hold-up

The term that accurately describes the crime involving an armored truck guard being attacked and robbed of the receipts is "robbery/hold-up." This term is specifically used to denote a crime where force or intimidation is employed to take property or money directly from a person. In this scenario, the guard is not just losing property (the receipts), but is also facing an attack, which signifies that the crime involves threatening or using violence to achieve the theft. The other terms provided do not fit this context as precisely. Theft generally refers to taking someone’s belongings without permission but does not necessarily involve direct confrontation or violence. Burglary involves entering a building unlawfully with the intent to commit a crime, typically without confrontations. Dismemberment, while a serious act, does not pertain to the act of robbing someone. Therefore, "robbery/hold-up" is the most appropriate term for this incident.
