There is an uptick in the risk of bank robbery ahead of the Lunar New Year, when people would go to banks for larger-than-usual amounts of cash. That’s why the Changhua County Police held drills with local banks on Friday. At Hemei Township, the “robbers” used a diversion tactic to distract bank tellers; while at Tianzhong Township, they were quick and vicious. The only differences between these drills and the real deal were the lack of real gunfire and funny costumes for the robbers. The police say the drills allow officers to sharpen their response skills while also teaching bank tellers how to protect themselves should the worse happen.

This character is a woman in a dress. She’s at the farmers’ association, pretending to conduct transactions.

At the same time, her accomplice, “Anpanman” tries to distract bank tellers by handing out treats and wishing everyone a happy new year.

It’s all a cover, because shortly afterwards, the woman seizes a teller and fires a gunshot.

Meanwhile, Anpanman also pulls out his gun, demanding cash.

This is a bank robbery response drill conducted by Hemei Precinct of Changhua County Police for officers. In the end, the two robbers were captured by the police that outnumbered them.

Leading up to the Lunar New Year, the police is strengthening bank robbery response. Over at Tianzhong Township, also in Changhua, another drill is taking place, with the robbers dressed up as Zootopia characters.

Don’t be fooled by their cuddly appearance. They are absolutely ruthless as they rake in the cash. Too bad for them, because Flash Slothmore was restrained and arrested in the bank, while his accomplice, Nick Wilde the fox also got caught while on the run.

This enables financial institutions to raise their self-defense capabilities, as well as strengthens officers’ speed and agility in responding to emergencies.

That said, an actual bank robbery is many times scarier and more unpredictable with real gunfire, and there are no second chances. This is why the police is holding drills before the Lunar New Year, when people would visit banks for larger-than-usual amounts of cash. The drills improve officers’ responsive skills while also familiarize bank tellers in how they can stay safe and report a robbery.
