Dear MEL Topic Readers,
There wasn’t a single bank robbery in Denmark last year
Banks are becoming less attractive to robbers. Improved camera surveillance and alarm systems make bank robberies risker. Also, as most of the cash deposits and withdrawals are done through ATMs, cash is handled only at limited bank branches. Furthermore, robbers have shifted their targets from hard cash theft to hacking and phishing scams. As a result, Denmark, whose population is around six million, saw no bank robbery last year. Even in the US, the number of bank robberies decreased to 1,724 in 2021 from 7,566 in 2004. There may be another reason. Robbers prefer money online to hard cash just like everyone else. Gone are the days of train robbery. Now, bank robbery is on the brink of extinction in some parts of the world. But be warned. You are now directly targeted by robbers.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about the change in bank robberies.
