Fresh FBI data show Colorado recorded 104 bank robberies in 2023 - the third highest tally in the nation.
California and Illinois, both with larger populations, took the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, with 192 and 116 robberies in 2023, the latest available FBI data.
The president of the Colorado Bankers Association told Fox News: "Colorado, unfortunately, has always been high in robbery."
Jenifer Waller said: "I’ve often questioned if the easy access to highways and interstates doesn’t aid in bank robberies here ... But I don’t have a solid answer."
She added: "The majority of robberies in Colorado and nationwide are note jobs and nonviolent robberies."
