"The robbers, who have been described as 'uomini talpa' or the 'mole men' in Italy, had meticulously planned the operation against the Credit Agricole bank in the city's Vomero district."
"They had sealed seven manhole covers in the immediate area of the bank from the inside to stop police from pursuing them as they fled underground."
"A security expert said the tunnel heist should be 'a wake-up call' for banks across Europe, pointing to the need for enhanced security measures."
A group of robbers, dubbed 'mole men', executed a heist at a Credit Agricole bank in Vomero, Italy. They dug a 12-meter tunnel leading to the bank's vault, where they emerged simultaneously with accomplices outside. Armed with pistols, they held hostages while accessing at least 40 deposit boxes. After stealing valuables, they sealed manhole covers to evade capture. A security expert emphasized the need for banks to assess nearby metro networks as a potential risk.
