A security apparatus is provided for protecting an article such as a bundle of banknotes from being stolen. The security apparatus comprises: liquid dispensing means including: a vessel 42 containing a liquid to be dispensed; a dispenser 44 that can be triggered to dispense liquid from the vessel 42 and project it; and a control system 32 for activation of the dispenser 44. The control system 32 includes a detector 22 that can detect the proximity of a person to the apparatus. The control system 32 has a "disarmed" and an "armed" state, and further includes a switching means operative remotely to switch between states. In the armed state, the control system 32 is operative to send a trigger signal to the dispenser 44 in the event that the detector 22 detects the proximity of a person to the apparatus, and the dispenser is triggered upon removal of the protected article from a predetermined location. |
