strong-arm robbery


Explanation:
Since the StGB seems to put this under the robbery heading, I would go with this, although the link has several other categories you might look at.

I might also lean toward 'aggravated' but that usually goes with 'assault' and not necessarily robbery.

Whatever you choose, good luck.

agree  Steven Swapp: Or, depending upon the context, perhaps atrocity would be appropriate.
