one. The bank that was hit was in an isolated town in Bonchester. An isolated
town with a small populace means that there are not many CCTVs there. And

according to Mads, that ATM kiosk only had one CCTV camera which was
tampered with using spray paint, the usual trick. No fingerprints were recov-

ered and there were zero witnesses. What made banks like these vulnerable
was the fact that they did not have many CCTVs and a few security personnel.

The guard was the first to report the incident when he found the busted open
ATM after he got back from his morning coffee break. This concluded that

the suspect had planned when to strike and knew the time the guard went out
for his coffee. The suspect was quick in extracting the money which led the

police to think that he might have had experience in breaking into ATMs, or
he was just lucky for his first time. Since not many people lived in the town

nobody noticed anyone or any vehicle that would have been suspicious. As
Mads went on about the case, Clark noticed that Finneas had been unusually

silent the whole time. Well, he was not much of a talker in the first place but
knowing Finneas, cases like this one would have piqued his interest. By now

he would have asked Mads several questions about the case, but surprisingly
he had not said much once Mads had started.

“I have the case files right here. You both can go through them and visit

Porthouse when you are ready.” Porthouse was the town where the incident
had taken place.

“Ah, I did forget to mention why I had two of you from Greenland called

here. We did not need the extra hands. But if you remember what I said
before, I did tell you that this guy might be an expert, yes? Well, we have

reasons to believe that Porthouse is not the only place or that bank the only
one this guy has robbed. Tommy Pfilinger, one of my subordinates, worked

with me on this case. His brother-in-law, Cooper is a cop there in Copenha-
gen. And Tommy once while exchanging stories with Cooper happened to

tell him about this case while he was drunk. He got an earful from me for
that! But anyway, as Tommy told him about the robber who burned open an

ATM, Cooper stopped him halfway to tell him that he knew about a case like
that, and it was something that had left the cops of Copenhagen completely

overwhelmed. After hearing Tommy out, I decided to talk with their Sheriff
because the possibility was there and as we talked, we got to the conclusion

that we might be talking about the same guy, same case but in a different city.
Which also extended the possibility that he might have done this somewhere
