Gang attempt bank raid with bulldozer
Belgium
11:38 05/03/2013
Robbers stole a bulldozer and drove it into the front of a bank in Marchienne-au-Pont, Charleroi, overnight, though initial reports suggest they didn’t manage to steal any money. At around 2.30, the group of men stole a bulldozer, drove it across a bridge and headed for the BNP Paribas bank. They then launched the bulldozer against the building. It appears they were unable to access the safes and they set fire to the bulldozer before escaping. Charleroi police have begun an investigation.
