Thieves rob bank in central Milan despite warnings from residents

Police in Italy have been left embarrassed after thieves robbed a bank despite warnings from local residents that they could hear a tunnel being dug, according to media reports.
The four robbers dug the tunnel under a bank in central Milan, and once inside waited for the first employees to arrive before forcing them to open the safe and empty the safety deposit boxes.
Police arrived on the scene after the alarm went off, only to discover that the crooks had made their escape.
Local residents were quick to point out that they had warned the authorities something odd was going on underneath the building.
