Bank robbery is a high-profile crime that fascinates many people.
Movies have been made about famous bank robbers like Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, and Butch Cassidy. There is even a new movie that just came out about Gilbert Galvan, Canada’s most prolific bank robber who robbed 59 banks in five years.
It might surprise you — as it did me — to learn that the number of bank robberies is the lowest it’s been in half a century.
