A robbery attack is a type of criminal act in which an individual or group uses force, violence or intimidation to steal money, property or other valuable items from another person or entity. This can occur in various settings such as banks, stores, homes or on the street and may involve weapons or threats of harm to obtain what they want. The perpetrator(s) aim is usually financial gain, but this type of crime also includes theft, extortion, mugging or hijacking. Robbery attacks can have a significant impact on victims, both physically and emotionally, as well as causing disruption to communities and businesses.
