In a heist reminiscent of a Hollywood movie, Kenyan robbers spent months building a tunnel into the bowels of a bank located opposite a police station and stole equivalent of half a million dollars, police said on Tuesday. “We suspect the robbers hired one of the shops near the bank (while digging their tunnel),” Willy said. The traders described the two young men who had rented the store as “very hardworking” and “introverts”. KCB, which is the region’s biggest bank by assets, confirmed the break-in on Twitter. In October Brazilian police foiled a plot to rob a Sao Paulo bank after discovering a 500-metre underground tunnel kitted out with lighting and ventilation systems.
