Burglary is not a victimless crime.

It’s traumatic to lose valuables from your home & the emotional shock of having your property invaded can also be deeply upsetting.

[Victims' Commissioner for England & Wales @VictimsComm]

Spiking is a crime.

It can happen to anyone, anywhere and can be carried out by strangers or people you know.

If you think you’ve been spiked, report it to the police as soon as possible.

Did you know...

Robbery involves stealing from someone by using force or making them think it will be used. Theft means taking someone's property without using force, and burglary means illegally entering a property to steal from it.
