Armed robbers raid an ATM in MoyaleTown
The
gang of four armed with G3 rifles vandalised an ATM of Kenya
Commercial Bank in the town and stole the money that was there. This
was after they tried to break into a safe inside the bank in vain.
Police say the gang had kidnapped two managers of the bank and forced
them to open the safe. According to the police, the gang went to the
home of the bank’s operations manager and kidnapped her at
gunpoint.
They
then went to the head of teller services’ house and also took him
from there before proceeding to the bank. At the bank, they tried to
break into a safe that had unknown amount of money in vain. “The
two were forced to use passwords they usually use to open the safe
and the teller machines but it failed to work. This forced the gang
to break the teller machine,” said an officer who was on the
ground.
They later escaped on foot with the money as police arrived
there. A hunt on them is ongoing. No one was injured in the incident.
A bank official said the issue was under investigation and they did
not have a comment to make.
