OverviewPropelled by excessive greed, cash in transit (CIT) robberies are executed ruthlessly with no respect for human life. This book epitomises and demonstrates how 'the love of money could be root cause of evil.' It aims to assist stakeholders within the criminal justice system to circumvent the stratagems of these robbers, and the explorations in this book are critical for CIT companies, the financial services industries and criminal justice system alike. With one of the authors having used convicts of CIT crimes as participants for a PhD study, he solicited data from the lived experiences of CIT robbers that reveal their modus operandi, which is crucial to combat these robberies. The authors reveal how CIT robbers meticulously plan and execute their ambushes, collaborating with the sophisticated network of accomplices. These include the police informers, insiders who work for the CIT companies, professional car thieves, cell phone technicians, and suppliers of illegal ammunition.
