The weapons used and the money stolen – $43,800 in U.S. dollars and LL58.9 million ($39,000) – were seized by the ISF, the statement added.
A security source told The Daily Star the men fired once inside the bank to scare employees and customers but no casualties were reported. The men fled on a motorcycle. The source added that there were no cameras inside the bank but cameras on the exterior of the building captured the license plate number of the getaway motorcycle.
