Is robbery that widespread in Sweden?
2 comments

It was very common to rob money transfers back in the days. It kind of peaked around the big helicopter robbery +10 years ago. The use of cash has been on a decline for decades. The transports are never armed like in other countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A4stberga_helicopter_robb...
It never was common but all the cash management and security measures quickly add up in terms of costs.
