Armed robbers could end up with sticky fingers after a security firm invented a cash box which fires exploding glue over the money when it is broken into. G4S Cash Solutions has started using the boxes - which make the money inside unusable - in a pilot scheme in London. Detective Chief Superintendent Graham McNulty, head of the Flying Squad, said: "I never want a crime to happen but we do want to see if it works." There have been 167 cash-in-transit robberies in the city since April. And last year there were 485 such robberies. Mr McNulty said existing cash boxes emitted a vivid dye over the money inside if they were broken open by robbers. But he said although the dye meant the police could track down robbers it didn't stop criminals from using the damaged money in machines or laundering it in other ways. He said the new system should make all the stolen cash "dead money" and therefore reduce the motive for such robberies.
