TMC.Net USA: Shell is taking extra security measures at its service stations around the country after 34 robberies last year.
Spokesman Mark Forsyth says more than $2 million is being spent on a staff safety training programme and equipment such as digital cameras and monitored alarms.
He says intelligent safes are being installed which not only reduce the amount of cash staff have access to on site, but also scan every note handed over the counter to detect forgeries.
