STONY BROOK, N.Y. — Applied DNA Sciences Inc. has successfully completed additional authentications of recovered bank notes for U.K. Police forces, according to a news release issued by Applied DNA.
 
In the United Kingdom, millions of pounds every year are stolen by criminals targeting cash-in-transit vehicles.   "Cash-in-Transit crime can have a serious impact on the lives of everyday people," said Jo Veale, Detective Constable of the Metropolitan Police. "We are working in partnership with Loomis and APDN to ensure that the criminals are caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."   The latest statistics from the British Security Industry Association, or BSIA, show that attacks against CIT couriers remain a serious problem.
 
"We are fully committed to assist the U.K. police with their investigations. We have retained APDN to assist us in forensic authentication and the provision of expert witness statements," said Tony Benson, risk director for Loomis U.K. "SigNature DNA markers are already helping us link criminals to stained notes, clothing, mobile phones, automotive parts and any other items that come into direct contact with the perpetrator. Since SigNature DNA is extraordinarily persistent, even the most savvy criminal will not be able to detect or remove it."   SigNature DNA markers were introduced into Loomis U.K. cash boxes for ATMs in early 2008 and currently APDN is supplying its SigNature DNA markers to most of the Loomis boxes in the U.K.
