In criminal related defense headlines from the mile high city, Kieran Nicholson, reporting for the respected Denver Post newspaper ran a recent story with the headline; Two more Denver bank robberies add to alarming trend. Nicholson says that in 2008, 135 banks were robbed in Colorado, according to an FBI spokesman. At this point this year, 180 banks have been robbed across Colorado. The spokesman added that drug and gang activity, and the sour economy, has contributed to the rise this year. The criminal “Hopping Hooded Bandits” have local law enforcement officers worried by their aggressiveness.
The bandits consist of at least four young men. They are suspected in at least three bank heists since Dec. 2. By the way if you are searcher for Denver criminal defense lawyers I can suggest the DGFirm. For their part, they have some of the top criminal defense attorneys/lawyers available.
The FBI spokesman was quoted as saying, also; “What concerns us at the FBI is they are very brazen, they all have weapons and they are very aggressive in their (criminal) style. It’s what we call a ‘takeover-style’ robbery. They come in with guns in hand and order people to the ground and jump the counters.” Authorities fear that the bandits may escalate their violence and someone could be shot. The say the robbers might become more dangerous.
Reported Nicholson writes, “Experts stress that bank robbery victims should try to remain calm and comply with orders, and not attempt to take on or stop the robbers. Victims are urged to try and make mental notes of the robbery and criminals.”. Well, they are helping to keep all of the Denver lawyers busy for sure
