How do you say "take away from someone else"?

Question

I am not a native speaker of English. I want to know if there is a verb that means "take away something from other people".

For example: If you say I take it away do you understand that (in most cases) you take something away from other people? Removing it from the other person?

Is there a better verb than take away?

In Spanish the word is quitar. In most cases it means "from other".

Answer 1

I think you might be looking for either "seize" or "confiscate"

from Oxford Dictionary of English:

Confiscate
Verb [with object] take or seize (someone's property) with authority: "the guards confiscated his camera"

Seize
Verb [with object] take forcible possession of: "army rebels seized an air base"
