Bank Robbery Attempt in Suburbs Goes Down the Drain
The plan of two masked gunmen to rob a bank in Beirut’s southern suburbs went down the drain on Tuesday after the manager and employees set off the alarm, the National News Agency reported.
NNA said that the armed thieves entered the Fransabank branch of Burj al-Barajneh in broad daylight and ordered the staff to hand them the cash.
But the bank manager and the employees confronted them and forced them to flee after they heard the alarm, NNA said.
It added that the two men threw away their masks near the bank and took a secondary road to escape the scene on a motorcycle.
Police launched an investigation to identify the assailants.
