Argentina thieves tunnel into Buenos Aires bank
Bank robbers in Argentina have tunnelled into a vault and emptied more than 100 safety deposit boxes, police say.
The robbery in Buenos Aires was only detected when bank staff returned to work after the new year weekend.
The thieves are thought to have spent six months digging a 30m (100ft) tunnel complete with lights and ventilation.
Alarms were heard several times overnight but police saw the doors of the bank were shut and took no further action.
Bank executives did not say how much was stolen as the contents of the deposit boxes are confidential.
Hundreds of angry clients were gathered outside the state-owned Banco Provincia branch in the Buenos Aires district of Belgrano to demand their savings and find out if their boxes were broken into.
