Police have launched a manhunt for at least two suspects involved in an armed robbery at a bank in the town of Katohi, near Messolongi, in western Greece.
The incident occurred at 10.30 a.m. on Friday. According to reports, two masked individuals stormed into the bank, brandishing firearms and threatening employees. They held both staff and customers inside the branch for an extended period while attempting to access the bank’s safe.
After successfully opening it, the suspects fled the scene with a large sum of cash – reportedly amounting to several hundred thousand euros. No injuries were reported.
Authorities are also investigating the possible involvement of a third person who may have acted as a lookout outside the bank during the heist.
