Horrible. There should be a neighborhood in Hell for those who terrorize people in their homes, and a special part of it reserved for those who terrorize seniors.

I think they like to use robbery for forceful taking that occurs outside of one's dwelling.
In any case, it sounds like the charges incorporate the seriousness of the crime, with two first degree charges.
