Old School Bank Robbers Are a Vanishing Breed: The trend is clear. In Denmark, there was not a single bank robbery last year. The country is also miles ahead in the prevention of ATM robberies. Bankrobbery ATM explosions
In Denmark, bank robberies are increasingly becoming a thing of the past. The reason is not that criminals suddenly developed a stricter moral compass or increased security at bank branches. The Scandinavian country operates almost exclusively on a cashless basis, leaving there hardly any branches left to steal cash. What is a criminal to do?
As in Switzerland and other EU countries, criminal gangs in Denmark have turned to blowing up ATMs. In 2016, 18 such robberies were recorded in Denmark. But here, too, thanks to better surveillance and technical protection, these attacks have dropped to zero, he said.Other countries are not as far along, either in terms of bank robberies or ATM blasts. In Switzerland, there were still 36 bank robberies in 2019, according to statistics.
Many banks are responding by thinning out their ATM network. In most cases, they are keeping quiet about the security measures they have introduced. The Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank and the Baloise Bank are taking a different tack, with deterrence as the motto. Baloise Bank uses ink or glue cartridges, security officer Daniel Graf explains. The glue spreads within a fraction of a second. After that, the money is just a block that you can no longer take apart, and every note is destroyed if you try to. With the ink cartridge, each note is heavily inked, becoming usable.
