New York Bank Robberies Fall From 1979 Peak
Bank heists in New York have declined about 19 percent since 1979, despite rising overall crime. Installations of bandit barriers and improved police work cut branch robberies by 79 percent, with more arrests resulting from better pattern analysis and a major case squad. Jesse Copeland, accused of stealing 50,000 from 29 state banks since April, was arrested.
