Street Robbery & Looting Incidents

Street robbery and looting are criminal events of using force, threats or intimidation to indecently take money from a person, valuable assets and personal belongings from other people without a proper process. Those may happen on deserted roads, public streets, within places of business or be the result of a coordinated crime. Victims must report immediately to the police, save CCTV footage, collect witness information and keep an inventory of their stolen goods. Swift action can help the investigation and make it more likely to recover. However, offences may include robbery/ theft/criminal intimidation/ illegal arms possession/aiding in organised crime, depending on the facts of the case. Victims can benefit from legal assistance to learn about available remedies, compensation options, and the criminal process.
