When the paving stones in the parking lot next to the Volksbank in Spenge in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia sagged on Friday, those responsible in the city initially believed in water damage.
To get to the bottom of the matter, construction workers get to work on Monday – and find what they are looking for. It quickly becomes clear: the fault for the shifting of the paving stones is not water damage, but a tunnel. Straight to the bank. Around eight meters long and one meter wide.
Apparently wanted to use the holidays to get started
A shock to the bank. “You usually only see something like that on television. This is madness, “says Volksbank employee Volker Stein of”New Westphalian». Apparently the burglars wanted to get into the bank over Pentecost, he suspects.
Just stupid: The perpetrators were sloppy when digging, did not worry about the statics – and the lowering paving stones gave them away. Your planned coup was discovered. So far there is no trace of the bank robbers who were prevented. (jmh)
