A bank robbery straight out of a movie took place at a bank in the Italian city of Naples, where three armed robbers took 25 employees and customers hostage, according to IPN, citing Sky News.
After 2 hours, the thieves escaped through a hole dug in the floor, located right above the sewer network. The intervention teams stormed the bank’s headquarters and freed all the hostages locked in a room.
Fortunately, no one was injured. According to witnesses, the thieves were armed and wore masks with the faces of famous actors. The police announced that the criminals had broken hundreds of safety deposit boxes, but the value of the damage is not yet known.
Dozens of customers gathered in front of the bank to get information. Detectives have begun investigating the scene, but so far there are no suspects.
Six years ago, a branch in Milan of the same bank was the target of a similar heist. Then, four armed individuals took the bank’s customers hostage and escaped through the sewer network with the loot obtained after breaking into the safety deposit boxes.
