Robberies have always been an easy way to earn money in a fast (but illegal) way. The most spectacular, and supposedly efficient, robberies are those of banks. Bank robberies are not only an inexhaustible source of inspiration for comics or films, they are also real crimes that need to be prevented and investigated. This kind of crime has been perpetrated in various manners through the years, but until recently it has always been synonymous with violence.
