Surveillance cameras are a good investment for payday loan stores.

The payday loan police have been pretty busy lately, tracking down and locking up men who are suspected of robbing multiple businesses, including several payday loan stores.

The first payday loan store robbery story I have for you comes out of Indiana, where a man is accused of robbing a shocking number of payday loan stores.

From NWI.com:

Police said they have arrested a man suspected of robbing 16 payday loan stores in Illinois and Indiana during the past four months.

Lewis Gilbert III, 45, of Schererville, was taken into custody Monday at his girlfriend’s Hammond home, but he wasn’t immediately jailed because he fell ill during questioning and was hospitalized. He was charged Tuesday with one count of robbery and he faces additional charges.

According to police, Gilbert robbed five stores in Indiana — including stores in Lake, Porter, LaPorte and St. Joseph counties — and 11 in Illinois. Valparaiso police Detective Dan Koepke estimated about $30,000 was taken during the robbery spree.

What took you so long?

Sheesh, this guy robbed 16 stores before police caught him? There must be some kind of issue up there in Indiana. Perhaps the payday loan stores need to beef up their security. And it wouldn’t hurt for the police to be a tad more diligent, methinks.

But wait, that’s not all! I have more payday loan store robbery mayhem for you. This next story takes place in Wichita, Kansas.

From the Wichita Eagle:

Wichita police have issued an arrest warrant for a second man linked to a series of robberies this summer.

Police say Lloyd Preston Adams, 36, is a suspect in recent robberies of at least two cash advance businesses — including the Loan Smart at 1716 E. Central on July 28.

…

A 31-year-old man was arrested Friday morning in connection with the case, police have said.

Investigators say the two men may be responsible for the robberies of six payday loan businesses, one restaurant and four motels between April 19 and July 28.

Serious serials

So these guys didn’t allegedly rob 16 different places like Gilbert, but they still have gotten away with quite a bit, if they are, in fact, the perpetrators.

Well, those two stories have a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel, in that at least one person has been caught in both cases. Police investigating a recent payday loan store robbery in Arizona haven’t been so lucky yet.

From ABC15.com:

Authorities say police are investigating an armed robbery at a Tempe payday loan store on Wednesday afternoon.

According to Tempe Police spokesman Scott Smith, two armed men walked into Cool Cash, near McClintock Drive and Guadalupe Road, about 2 p.m., where they demanded cash from a clerk.

They were described as Hispanic males, 5 feet 6 inches tall and 155 pounds, wearing dark shirts.

It was unclear how much money the suspects took during the robbery.

Smith said no one was hurt.

Kansas seems to be a pretty popular place for payday loan store robberies. However, the workers at payday loan stores are getting wise. Check out this story from The Wichita Eagle:

WICHITA — Two men attempted to rob a payday loan business Monday, but were foiled when an employee was able to lock the doors and call the police.

The two men approached the Ace Cash Express at 801 S. Woodlawn around 8:40 a.m. and attempted to force an employee into the building, police said.

One of the men was armed, but the woman was able to lock the men out and call police.

The suspects then fled. There were no injuries or losses reported.

Protecting businesses

In this case, a simple door lock and a willful employee were all it took to stop the robbers and protect the cash, not to mention the store employees. However, in most cases technology of a bit higher caliber helps out a lot.

In various reports I’ve written about payday loan store robberies, surveillance cameras and silent alarms have helped catch criminals. Payday loan store owners should make safety their No. 1 priority.

A liquid asset

Banks are well-know for having top-of-the line security systems. Banks have huge amounts of cash on hand, and thus they expect to get robbed. So they’ve done everything they can to protect their assets and workers.

Though payday loan stores don’t have nearly as much cash as banks, they are often targeted for the same reason as banks. Any business that deals in handing out cash has to have  a lot of it lying around. Payday loan stores get target because of their cash, but many don’t protect their cash very well. Criminals often get away with the money and are never found.

Perhaps payday loan store should start to think like banks, realizing that they could, and probably will be robbed. Perhaps that will help payday loan store owners develop better strategies for protecting their employees, business and cash.
