The Future of Crime in the UK.

Look at this. It's about as good as it gets for the criminal. High rewards and small risk.

All premises are usually covered by cameras and security systems designed to keep out the wrong people and allow swift dispatch of the right people to stop anything suspicious. This type of crime bypasses that in general and minimises risk to the bad guys.

Our population is neutered by our self protection laws are not in a position to do anything and, in fact, have no reason to take any risks at all. So far from being dangerous the hostages, for that is what they were, are in little danger. Of course there are always some people who think that their employees money is worth their lives but in general we know it is not. I certainly would not take any risks. I would think that shooting my child is unlikely but there are nutters out there. Many, many more now than before. Take it all thanks. It's insured and can be replaced. Thanks guys, close the door on your way out.

Now this is where it goes wrong for these guys because they now have to spend the money. Surprisingly enough, the most difficult part of getting away with it. This could be what catches them. Our Police seem to be hot with solving this sort of crime. Either through stupidity, someone bragging, or just bad luck, a member gets caught for speeding, once one is caught the noose tends to tighten around them all.

In the meantime I think this type of crime will become more common as criminals want to minimise risk. Why mug someone on camera when you can invade their homes hold their families hostage. Send them out to drain their bank accounts or steal things from work and bring home.
