German media: A bank vault in Germany was broken into, 30 million euros worth of property went missing
This is like a scene from a movie: thieves drilled through the wall of an adjacent basement to enter the bank's underground vault, smashed open the safe deposit boxes, and took cash, gold, and jewelry.
This real-life robbery occurred at the Sparkasse savings bank in Gelsenkirchen. The professional methods and bold plan of the thieves shocked the entire country.
The robbers precisely used the holiday gap between Christmas and New Year, drilling through the wall in the adjacent underground parking garage to directly reach the bank's vault.
During the process, they used heavy-duty drills to create a large hole in the bank's vault wall, then entered through the opening and broke through the defenses.
It wasn't until the early morning of December 29th that the police were alerted, and the outside world realized the vault had been robbed.
Severe losses: Over 3,000 private safe deposit boxes were violently opened, and the cash, gold, and jewelry stored inside were completely taken, with an estimated total value of at least 30 million euros.
This incident affected over 2,500 customers and could become one of the largest bank theft cases in modern German history.
On Tuesday, about 200 anxious victims gathered in front of the Gelsenkirchen Sparkasse, demanding explanations from the bank, causing the situation to get out of control. Police had to intervene and block the bank.
The bank stated that the maximum compensation per safe deposit box is 10,300 euros, which is a further blow for many families who suffered heavy losses.
Currently, the police are actively pursuing the suspects. In the tightly secured German banking system, this drilled-through wall not only left a hole but also raised significant public doubts about security.
