Security consultant, Mark Shields, says companies transporting money should use anti-robber smoke product such as dye packs as a deterrent.

His recommendation follows last Monday’s fatal robbery at ATM in Portmore Pines, St. Catherine.

Dye packs have been used in other jurisdictions such as the United States to aid the Police in nabbing robbers.

Mr. Shields, who’s a former Deputy Commissioner of Police and Managing Director at Shields Crime & Security Consultants, says dye packs have been in use for over 20 years.

He says investing in technology such as dye packs would make it pointless for robbers to target courier vehicles.

The Security Consultant is also recommending the use of synthetic DNA.
