What is Bank robbery?

What will be an ideal response?


Bank robbery represents a much greater property loss than other types of robbery but accounts for only an estimated 2 percent of all robberies. Bank robberies are both state and federal crimes; therefore, they fall under the jurisdiction of local, state, and federal law enforcement.

The most common method of bank robbery is a threat with a visible firearm, most typically a handgun. Most of the remaining robberies are perpetrated with a demand note passed to the teller.
