DonLever Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 57 minutes ago, CBH1926 said: Bank robberies are waste of time, according to the FBI in 2019 average bank robbery loot was little over $4300. Definitely not worth spending 5-10 years in the slammer. According to latest Global News, the robbers wanted accees to the vault and the manager handed over the keys. Quote To get “real money” you need to rob armored truck but that requires heavy firepower, multiple robbers and typically results in a shootout. Given todays cashless society even armoured car heists are not worth it. The heyday of armour car heists occurr decades ago when cash was king.

Still plenty of gold and money to be stolen, most of armored truck robberies don’t report the amount stolen. I wouldn’t say that stealing almost 5 million in gold or 1 million in cash is not worth it.https://www.jacksonville.com/story/news/nation-world/2015/03/02/48m-gold-bars-stolen-sunday-armored-truck-heist-i-95/15653013007/ https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/2015/11/27/greektown-armored-car-robber-walks-away-with-500000/https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/armored-car-robbers-allegedly-get-away-with-500000 https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article242683866.html Edited June 30, 2022 by CBH1926 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 3 hours ago, CBH1926 said: Most of bank robberies around where I live don’t even involve any guns. They just give a teller a note saying it’s a robbery and tellers are trained to give them what’s in the drawers. To get “real money” you need to rob armored truck but that requires heavy firepower, multiple robbers and typically results in a shootout. Even armoured truck drivers/security here in Canada are allowed to carry a firearm. One of the only few exceptions security have here to carry.

After watching that news interview (posted above) with that one lady, and listening to her description of the “calmness” the robbers had, maybe those guys wanted a shootout? The robbers had assault rifles and full body armour. They weren’t in any hurry. Thank God those officers were so courageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
