Ink database to help forensic investigators identify ATM robbers

The Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) has set up an ink database with ink traces from ATM robberies to help identify the robbers. One of the measures banks take against ATM robberies is adding ink to cash cassettes. When criminals blow up an ATM, the ink ends up on at least some of the cash, making it unusable. It also ends up on robbers’ hands and clothes, NOS reports.
