They are very close and sometimes used interchangeably
Snitch = to steal
He snitched a cigarette from my pack when I wasn’t looking.
It’s used when someone takes something secretly
Snatch = to take very quickly
That man snatched my purse while I was in the store.

@newenglandgenie Thanks a lot as always. I hear snitch is a casual way of saying snatch. Am I right? 🤔

@nomadatlatl They’re both very casual. I wouldn’t say snitch is casual for snatch.
With snitch it’s the secrecy and with snatch it’s the quickness. He snitched my purse isn’t the same as he snatched my purse.
Snitch also means to inform on someone, to tell someone in authority that someone else has done something bad. Here again, it’s the secrecy that’s important.
