Reports from the scene confirm that there are two hole in the roof with a ladder going down into the bank. The crooks crawled through a heating vent but were unable to gain access to the vault and fled empty-handed.
Police are calling for a Level-1 mobilization, NYPD helicopter is searching the neighborhood roof tops.
Lately a lot of banls have been robbed through the roof. Nobviously these roofs are not that secure and are the weakest link. Why are banks being built with roofs that can be broken into. The roofs should be alarmed.
Where were the sensors? It doesn’t make me feel too secure about leaving money in the bank!
i guess one bank does not learn from the other bank.
From experience… I had my warehouse broken into from the roof… Fire codes do not allow steel plating in the roof anymore, so there is no easy way to protect a roof. (I put dogs up there)
