Data Caveats / Limitations:

Please note that MO Location/Venue type are not always recorded. The below shows the data only where the MO Location or Venue Type is recorded as ‘bank’.

Please could you tell me, per year, the number of bank robberies recorded in your jurisdiction.

Please provide this data going back as far as possible – ideally to 2000, but if the constraints of the act limit the time this will take, please provide as many years, working backwards from 2026, as possible.

Since 2000, there have been: three ‘Attempted Robberies’, one each in 2014, 2018 and 2025 and two ‘Robberies’, one each in 2016 and 2020.
