You are a victim of robbery or blackmail

If someone dispossessed you of a chattel by force or threats of force, you have been a victim of robbery. If you have been forced by violence or threats, e.g. to hand over chattels, you have been a victim of blackmail.

Frequently, the mental consequences of these crimes are more serious than the material damage. Victims of robbery and blackmail often suffer from shock, fear, rage, panic and hopelessness. In order to come to terms with these experiences, it is advisable to request professional assistance. Do not hesitate to seek assistance. Contact the police and the Support Facilities.
