British bandits foiled by glued-up bills

Baffour Amponsah, 25, Brian Ocaya, 28, and Daniel Collins, also 28, were part of a gang that ambushed a cash delivery man working for security company G4S in south London on Jan. 16, 2011. The group stole his cash box but ran into trouble when they retreated to a parking lot to try to open it. Gavin Windsor, a G4S director, said the company’s cash boxes had recently been fitted with a new security system which coats the bills with glue -- along with dye and a colorless, traceable liquid known as “smart water”-- if it is tampered with.
