Robbery

Being the victim of a robbery can have unpleasant practical and emotional consequences; fortunately information, support and practical assistance can help alleviate the impact.

Victims of robbery experience theft of property combined with violence or the threat of violence. It is this combination of theft and assault, whether threatened or actual, that makes the crime of robbery such a distressing experience. Victims may feel that they have been specifically targeted and this can add to feelings of uncertainty and confusion. Not surprisingly, some victims feel a loss of their confidence in themselves and their environment.

If the robbery occurs in a workplace, people are often concerned that it will affect their job performance and prospects. It can be difficult to confide in friends, family or colleagues.

Victim Support understands all these issues: our trained volunteers and staff provide independent, confidential and free support, information and practical help. We can assist with claims for Criminal Injuries Compensation and support you through the Criminal Justice process. We can help put you in touch with other agencies and we can also help you identify ways to stay safe in the future.

All our services are free and confidential whether you have reported the crime to the Police or not. Call 01856 877554 to talk to our local Coordinator or leave a message. Alternatively, you can call the National Helpline on 0845 603 9213.

Victim Support can arrange a translation service if you are not an English speaker.
