pap Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 Been listening on Solent. Apparently, a masked man asked a security guard for the cash box he was carrying to the local HSBC. Guard hands it over, bloke jumps into a silver Cavalier and does the offs, mowing down a woman during his escape. The OB have found the car and the cash box, but not the perpetrator. They haven't given any other details about the lady who was hit or whether the cash box still had any cash in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatch Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 I drove past just a few minutes after it happened. Shame it wasn't earlier as could have given chase in my car and pretended I was in an action film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimond Geezer Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 Jeez, wouldn't wanna work in that bank. Given that in neither robbery did the perps enter the bank I'd suggest it is probably safer to be in the bank than outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimond Geezer Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 The report I heard says there were no weapons involved. I'd like to think that if I was the courier, with my helmet on & visor down, carrying a relatively heavy box, and being confronted by an un-armed man, rather than give him the box of cash, I'd hit him with the box, before legging it into the bank. Now, I've never been in this particular situation, so obviously I don't know how I'd actually react, and may just do as the guard did & hand it over, but I'd like to think that I'd have had a go.

saint si Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 It'll be company policy just to handover the cash. It won't be left down to the judgement of the individual security guard (who is really just a courier)... that would be a fast track to a lawsuit.

The emboldened bit is why their is so much wrong with society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976_Child Posted 24 November, 2011 Share Posted 24 November, 2011 Wouldn't the box have that special water tracking stuff? As soon as you open it you get contaminated and the money turns purple so you can't use it? I thought all of them did these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box in question, if not opened correctly will stain the money with pink dye (apparently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
