Chandler's Ford made national headlines in September 2007 when an armed bank robbery was foiled: On 13 September 2007, the Metropolitan Police's Flying Squad, in conjunction with the Hampshire Constabulary, foiled a bank robbery outside the HSBC bank in the central precinct on Winchester Road in Chandler's Ford. Two robbers were shot dead by the police as they were tipped off to the robbery and hid behind the nearby toilet cubicles. One more robber fled the scene by car and was later arrested.
The same bank unfortunately had another attempt which managed to relieve a security guard of a cash box delivering to the branch on 24th January 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word crime:
“There is a blessed necessity by which the interest of men is always driving them to the right; and, again, making all crime mean and ugly.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
“Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State’s failure, all crime in the end is the crime of the community.”
