migrate to cashless environment, criminal have turned increasingly to theft /robbery of ATM’s or C.I.T’s. ( Easy Targets)

activity which may occur inside/outside the premises.

Don’t try to be a hero, especially a dead hero.

If the robber demands cash or property, give it up! It's not worth injury or death.

No one likes to think about becoming a victim of a crime. However, the time to think about a robbery is before it happens.

Crimes against business are usually crimes of opportunity. If you make it easy for someone to target your or your business for a robbery, chances are someone will.

So don't make it easy. Make it risky and unrewarding.
