This book is an important resource for the cash in transit (CIT) companies, financial services industries and criminal justice system. With one of the authors having used convicts of CIT crimes as participants for a PhD study, he solicited data from the lived experiences of CIT robbers that reveal their modus operandi, which is crucial to combat these robberies. The authors reveal how CIT robbers meticulously plan and execute their ambushes collaborating with the sophisticated network of accomplices.

The book is thus a timely publication that provides information to combat CIT crimes.
