Robbery of Personal Property
A robbery happens where someone steals and at the time uses or
threatens violence. Luckily in Peterborough the majority of
robberies do not involve any injury or the use of weapons.
Research indicates that the majority of these crimes are
committed by young people on other young people (often known to
them).
Ongoing prevention work is being undertaken through the
partnership to educate young people regarding the seriousness of
this crime type. Projects have been run with Crimestoppers to
increase the numbers of reports and identify who the offenders
are.
