Happens quite a bit. The perpetrators are usually caught however.
Yes, people still rob banks, usually by passing a note. The average take is probably no more than $2000.
yep a massive robbery happened here in n/ireland just a couple of years ago xx
Well I live in a deserted town in the middle of Scotland called Denny, and our local bank of scotland right in the town center got robbed in broad daylight a few months ago, the theifs nearly made away with 30+ thousand but unfortunately for them the guy tried to put all the money in his own bank account and the bank informed the police
Yes there has been a raise in bank robbers over the past few years
the robbers only get away with only a couple thousand dollars
and the penalty for it is ten years doesn’t make since to me
There was a bank robbery where I live just yesterday. The dye packet didn’t explode and the guy may get away with it, since the security cameras didn’t get a single good image due to his hat and his hands.
There was one Monday, too. Different guy.
This isn’t in some huge metropolis but a city under a half-million.
There were a few failed bank robbing attempts in my area last year.
I think you’re right though, online theft is becoming the sign of the times.
Most modern banks have shutters that come up if the cashier presses a panic button. Also theres lots of CCTV so they will catch you eventually.
Oh and if you try to hold a customer hostage the armed police will arive and blow your brains out.
Still happens in my area! Thieves are getting sneaky too, like planning ahead and starting to work for the bank to gain inside access! Scary!
Technology has changed the world, With the exception of drunken idiots most thefts are on the internet–strangely, from Nigerian pirates.
Yes banks do still get robbed but the growth area is “cash in transits”. Banks themselves tend to be very secure these days so a hit and run type robberys are less likely to succeed than they used to. A weak link in the chain is the security vans that transport the cash from depots to banks and cash machines at places other than banks and it is these that are increasingly becoming the target of armed robbers.
Yes, people do rob banks. But it’s been a long time since that’s been where the biggest thefts are. With timed vaults and tagged money technology bank robbers just get what’s in the teller’s drawer.
The two biggest bank robberies Ive heard of late have been, in the UK and Brazil.
The one in brazil was a massive operation where they dug a tunnel under the bank and stole massive amounts of money ($100 mil????). It supposedly involved a lot of people 20-30, and the last I heard they had rounded up a few people they suspected of being involved.
There was another one in the UK somewhere where they think it involved people from the IRA, the amount of money was again very large maybe $50 mil, and from what I remember they may have caught the people.
Well, recently two girls (aka Barbie Bandits) robbed a bank over in the east coast area of the U.S, so I think banks are still easily robbed, especially if you have special connections and have a clever escape route.
online is the new way my friend
With so many gullible people on the internet, crooks can stay home and make a fortune..Why go out when all you need is a keyboard to rob people? And NO, in 95% of the cases, you DO NOT get your money back…And your left with no course of action to remedy the problem..When your ‘online’ you are surrounded by scammers and con artists, waiting for their next ‘sucker’..
Yes………There was a bank robbery in San Antonio Ibiza. Spain. The robber was arrested within hours.This all happened last week.
No they become members of Parliment and rob us
