Thieves' bank jobs, also known as HEISTS, are criminal activities in which criminals attempt to steal money or other valuables from a bank. HEISTS typically involve the use of force, threats, or deception to gain access to the bank's assets. The perpetrators may also use explosives or other weapons to gain access to the bank's vault or other areas. In some cases, the criminals may even take hostages in order to ensure their escape. HEISTS are often planned and executed with precision, and can be extremely dangerous for both the perpetrators and the victims.
