Understand your concern but please note that robberies are rare occurrences and are different to burglaries. Robberies involve a person being attacked in pursuit of an act of theft or being put in fear of their life or well being. Burglaries are of course distressing And a violation of a persons home or property but do not involve threat of violence.
