TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I--CRIMES
CHAPTER 103--ROBBERY AND BURGLARY
Sec. 2112. Personal property of United States
Whoever robs or attempts to rob another of any kind or description
of personal property belonging to the United States, shall be imprisoned
not more than fifteen years.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 796; Pub. L. 103-322, title XXXII,
Sec. 320903(a)(2), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2124.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 99 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321,
Sec. 46, 35 Stat. 1097).
That portion of said section 99 relating to felonious taking was
omitted as covered by section 641 of this title.
The punishment by fine of not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not
more than 10 years, or both, was changed to harmonize with section 2111
of this title. The 15-year penalty is not excessive for an offense of
this type.
Minor verbal change was made.
Amendments
1994--Pub. L. 103-322 inserted ``or attempts to rob'' after
``robs''.
