Business Robbery

Although all businesses can be the victim of a robbery, they are not all at the same risk. Convenience stores, service stations, liquor stores, jewelry stores, and supermarkets may be at a greater risk of being robbed. Because these businesses are often open late, have limited staff, or sell valuable merchandise they are desirable targets for robbers. A robbery happens because there is an opportunity. What is it about a business that presents the robber with the opportunity?

Late Hours If a business is open late there is a wider range of time in which it could be robbed. Late at night there are fewer people around, so a robber has less chance of being identified or caught. One Clerk Businesses with only one clerk are at a greater risk for robbery, especially at night Cash or Valuable Merchandise The most desirable target for a robber is cash. A business with large amounts of cash around is a desirable target. If the business sells products that are valuable and can easily be resold then they are also a likely target
