UK legislation states that a person is guilty of aggravated burglary if he commits any burglary and at the time has with him any firearm or imitation firearm, any weapon of offence, or any explosive.
A “weapon of offence” means any article made or adapted for use for causing injury to or incapacitating a person, or intended by the person having it with him for such use.
A person guilty of aggravated burglary shall on conviction on indictment be liable to imprisonment for life, UK legislation relating to aggravated burglary states.
