$1.35M stolen from Athens airport bank branch

Police in Greece say €1 million ($1.35 million) has been stolen from the Athens airport branch of Alpha bank after a man posed as a subcontractor's employee.

 

Police say the man arrived at the bank ostensibly to take some measurements as part of a redesign for the branch. He persuaded the employees to lead him to the bank's vault, where he took out a gun and forced a teller to open the safe. The robber locked the employees in the vault and made off with the money. Police say security cameras have recorded a man matching the suspect's description leaving the airport by taxi Sunday afternoon. (AP)
