A mega bank robbery of €34 million took place in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, according to the newspaper Bild.

“Germany is discussing a year-end mega heist. The thieves drilled a huge hole in the office wall and ended up directly in the bank’s vault in Gelsenkirchen,” the journalists reported.

The perpetrators stole everything they could from the safes and fled. The bank has a total of 3,300 safes of various sizes, rented by 2,700 clients. Each safe is insured for up to €10,300.

The publication estimated that the insured loss could amount to nearly €34 million if all the safes were full and, consequently, all were robbed.

It is also reported that starting Monday, at least 200 clients have gathered at the bank, demanding explanations about the investigation and potential compensation. However, the bank’s management refuses to make contact. Police are on site to prevent the situation from escalating.
