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.
