They foil the "robbery of the century" in Argentina after the discovery of a tunnel under a bank.
According to experts, the tunnel constitutes an engineering feat "more advanced than the one El Chapo Guzmán used to escape from a prison in Mexico in 2015."
It took the thieves almost a year and they were only five meters away from the “robbery of the century.”
The thieves decided not to rush and dug thoroughly, installed lighting, covered the walls and ceiling with wooden panels so that it was dry and dirt would not fall, and created a complex ventilation system.
In fact, they dug a headquarters under a bank building with a 200-meter corridor. Mattresses, personal effects, fuel barrels, tools and a very detailed robbery plan were also kept there.
Everything was thought out down to the smallest detail, but luck was not on their side.
The fact is that next to the bench there was a lonely construction bar sticking out of the ground. He scratched a delivery man's van, which he reported to the bank's security guards.
The matter was then reported to the police, who discovered that the rod was part of a carefully constructed tunnel leading from an empty warehouse to a bank building.
No one in the area reported any noise coming from the tunnel builders, as the solid structure was more than three meters underground.
It was not possible to catch the thieves; They managed to escape as soon as the tunnel was discovered, now the police are searching for the diggers.
Investigators said construction took six to nine months and called the tunnel an engineering feat "more advanced than the one El Chapo Guzmán used to escape from a prison in Mexico in 2015."
