"Security DNA will help the UK's leading banks recover stolen cash and prosecute robbers. The tell tale signs of a bank robbery - In Brechin in two thousand and three thieves nearly got away with thousands but red dye exploded, making the money unusable.
This security system, used the world over, is crude but effective...Tayside Police believe they've gone one better.
At the forces labs, the forensics department have been developing Security DNA - a breakthrough they say, in the fight against cash crime.
The new system will mean that any money which has been stolen from a bank or a cash machine will not only be covered in ink or smoke from the traditional security systems.
The money will also be contaminated with manufactured DNA - invisible and indelible - that will allow Tayside Police to trace it back to the bank from which it was taken.
The system has been adopted on by the Royal Bank of Scotland, Natwest and the Ulster bank and will see Tayside Police analyse and trace any bank notes which have been recovered from a robbery.
The new technique is, according to the developers, foolproof and has been hailed as the most important step for years in fighting cash crime." [Snippet]
