Napoli, rapina in banca a piazza Medaglie d'Oro: il recap della giornata

Terror strikes suddenly, with the masked bodies and faces of three men storming a bank in the Arenella neighborhood. It was just after 11:00 yesterday morning when a commando of bandits easily entered—through the front door—Crédit Agricole Branch 10 in Piazza Medaglie d'Oro, on the border with the Vomero neighborhood. On a quiet morning in mid-April, a dramatic day is about to unfold, with the criminals escaping with a huge haul: not only money but, more importantly, the assets and valuables stored in the bank's vast underground vault. The damage is yet to be quantified. But it was enough last night to rally a large crowd of account holders who besieged the Crédit Agricole branch, hoping to learn if their savings were part of the loot taken by the "men in blue." Yes, because the criminals—clearly professionals and well-informed about the situation, having planned the robbery in detail—were all wearing dark blue tracksuits. And when they managed to enter the bank, they covered their faces with socks and masks.
