This is like going to an Ikea to steal the TVs, computers, and appliances from the showroom, and not realizing they’re just fake props.
Police in Northern California are investigating an armed robbery at a U.S. Bank this week at around 4:00 in the afternoon.
There were FIVE thieves, so it sounds like an orchestrated operation,but there’s a difference between “orchestrated” and “sophisticated.” Get this: The bank is CASHLESS, so it’s unclear if the thieves managed to actually steal anything, or what there was to steal. (Maybe TVs, computer screens, and appliances from the breakroom?)
No one was hurt. The robbers drove off in a relatively new Honda CR-V, and as far as we know they’re still on the loose.
(If you’re unfamiliar, cashless banks have bankers and tellers to handle accounts, transfers, and other financial products, but they do NOT carry cash, or do deposits or withdrawals. Most do have ATMs, though.)
