Authorities must advice them to use new security measures like door locks, CCTV camera, tear gas canister with bank staff, remote switch to power off etc. Big alarm to alert outside people.

When there is corruption in the Police, no ways they can catch the real thief. In case they caught, then corrupt lawyers are there to get them out.
