well said

same security IS used in Dublin. typically the army is only used with large sums transferred to and from banks. think 6 figures minimum. not the sort of money carried by most private cash in transit vans for refilling atms etc.

Fair question. As SL has pointed out amount of cash been carried is the major deciding factor

And what about the robber just doing his job, and the traffic jam the army would create, and the danger to the public just going about their usual routine from those automatic weapons

But it didn’t happen inside, mercifully, or we’d never hear the end of it.

It wasn’t the Stig it was has skanger Irish cousin.

Stiggo?

Stigger?

Which bit? Threatening someone’s life for money? The trauma that they put the security guards through, just for doing their job? The bit where they took money that ultimately belongs to you, me and everyone else here. Or the bit where bank charges go up for everyone to cover this increased risk? The bit where shops get charged more for cash in transit, and they pass those costs on to you and me?
Yeah “Fair play” to them. What’s next? ‘Three cheers’ for Vandals, Muggers and Joy Riders!

Wtf?

Symbollix more like.

The funny thing is the law is sooo soft even when they are caught they get off lightly,so no suprise there…until such a time that any type of arm robbery carry a minimum sentence of 10 yrs this serious crimes is not going to stop..
