Ram-raiding is a variation on burglary in which a van, SUV, car, or other heavy vehicle is driven through the windows or doors of a closed shop, usually a department store or jewellers shop, to allow the perpetrators to loot it. ==Overview== This act has occurred since at least the mid-1930s. The term came into widespread use after a series of such raids in Belfast in 1979 that was covered in news reports and in countries such as Australia that inspired a series of similar crimes. Notably, large trucks are used to break into technology companies and steal high-value equipment for resale on the black market. Commercial properties in areas prone to ram-raids often erect strong barriers or obstructions, such as bollards, to discourage such attacks. ATM centres are also victims of ram-raiding, with criminals smashing the machines to steal cash boxes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Video: ATM ram raid caught on camera )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ramraiders chain up ATM and drag it away in Launceston robbery )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ex-police employee jailed for planning ATM ram raids )〕 Many companies have come up with solutions to ram-raiding.〔('Raminator' foils ATM ram raids. ) ''The Daily Telegraph.'' 21 Aug. 2008.〕 Everything from electronic bollards to electronic barriers has been employed to keep property from the raiders. Another solution is security guards, but round-the-clock teams are expensive and often not the most economical way of dealing with ram-raiding. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ram-raiding」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
