Tony Benson, Loomis UK Risk Director commented, “The deterrence value of DNA is clear – if you commit a cash box robbery, you will be caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Applied DNA Sciences Opens Authentication Laboratory in Yorkshire, UK. Immediately Begins Testing Bank Notes Recovered by UK Police.

Tony Benson, Risk Director for Loomis UK, stated, “DNA stands strongly on its own merit as the ultimate reality check. Loomis uses SigNature DNA in its cash boxes to ensure that when cash is stolen it is stained with the DNA and that criminals who come into contact with the cash are also stained with the DNA. This is a significant deterrent to criminals, as they stand a far greater chance of being convicted if they attempt a robbery against Loomis.” “SigNature DNA provides Loomis’ customers and employees with the ‘peace of mind’ they deserve and assists the UK Police in detecting crime and convicting criminals,” commented Tony Benson.
