Ex-Bank Robber Reveals How He Robbed Over 100 Banks Before Turning Himself In

Not one, not two, not three, but Cain Vincent Dyer carried out more than 100 bank robberies before turning himself in. Now, he has revealed how he did it.

Dyer might have been successful in carrying those heists, but he has warned people that they¡¯ll eventually get caught if they get into such illegal gigs.

¡°For anyone out there that is watching this and you think you¡¯re going to go commit bank robberies the way I did, or I¡¯m telling you in here, you are going to find yourself in jail¡±, he said.

Contrary to popular belief, he also said people putting their hands in the air isn¡¯t desirable, as anyone walking past would see people clearly in danger.

In a new video for Insider, Dyer walks viewers through each of the steps he¡¯d take when scouting and robbing a place. He explained that he would ¡°read the temperature of the room¡± beforehand and accordingly tailor his actions to their response. If people were compliant, he would try ¡°to be more calming.¡± If not, he would ¡°probably be a little bit more aggressive to the overall crowd.¡±

¡°One of the things that I would do initially when I walk into a bank is walk in and go straight to the merchant teller. Because I always knew that the merchant teller would more than likely have the most amount of currency¡±, he said.

Dyer revealed that there were many factors to carrying out a successful robbery. He said he had to consider the location of the bank, and how it had to be close to multiple interstates. He went on to add that he would also keep in consideration the weather of the day and how bad the traffic was. He would case the bank for ¡®a day¡­ a day and a half, and then go¡¯.

"I took probably, I don¡¯t know, a few weeks, a month off, and just taught myself everything about banks. At that time, got in a hole of all different types of bank manuals, employee manuals, employee guides, everything. Safes, lock safes, time vaults," he said.

He said he would ¡°park across the street or in some direction where I wasn¡¯t alone, standing out by myself, my car wasn¡¯t the only one. And I always used a car that would fit in¡­ I always gave myself enough space to get away and then kind of disappear.¡±

Once the heist was complete, he would simply turn on the radio, roll down the windows and sing along to his music. He said, ¡°Cops pass me. I¡¯m looking at them. They¡¯re looking at me, because what they¡¯re actually looking for is the guy that¡¯s not looking at them. Listen, when a bunch of cops roll past you, or even fire trucks, what do we all do? We all look. So the one guy they¡¯re looking for is the guy who won¡¯t look at them.¡±

Dyer handed himself in when he knew we would have been caught eventually. "When my consciousness started to awaken again, I think I can no longer hide behind the life and death, imminent danger that was there before," he said.
