Bank
Robbers Hit Jackpot At Banco Popular
While most Costa Ricans waited with bated
breath watching the tumbler of the lottery
corporation for the big prize, a group of
criminals hit the jackpot without even
playing the lottery, taking millions of
colones in the robbery of the Banco Popular
de Alajuelita, San José.
The group of men broke into the bank which
did not have any security alarm or security
personnel in the bank, taking with them more
than ˘100 million colones.
Using an acetylene torch, the bank robbers
cut open the automated teller machine and
then bank's vault, making their way in and
out of the bank through a hole cut through a
wall on the south side of the building.
Police officials say the thieves disabled
the bank's securty cameras and since the
bank did not have a security alarm or
security guard on the premises, the
criminals were able to get in and out
without being detected.
