Even after all the promptness, such cases come to the fore, but do you know that there is a country in the world where not a single case of bank robbery or dacoity has come to the fore in the last 1 year. That country is also celebrating this special occasion with great enthusiasm. The name of the country we are talking about is Denmark. This has happened because of the decline in the use of hard cash in recent years. According to the nation’s financial workers’ organisation, Denmark has completed its first year without bank robberies.
Less than 10 loot cases since 2017
The organization claimed in a statement on Monday that since the society is less dependent on cash now, institutions have reduced their cash services, thus reducing the chances of robberies. Steen Lund Olsen, vice president of the Finnenforbundet union, said in a statement to AFP. "This is surprising because there is a lot of pressure on the bank employees in terms of cash." The union reported 221 bank robberies in 2000, which have gradually decreased to less than 10 since 2017.
