Bank robbers in Berlin dug a 100-foot tunnel from a parking garage to a nearby bank branch and made off with an unknown amount of loot.
It sounds like a bank robbery straight out of Hollywood. But the spectacular break-in happened in the Steglitz quarter of Berlin over the weekend and was discovered on Monday morning.

Once inside, they opened more than 100 safe-deposit boxes. The total value of what they stole remains unclear. The bank was closed on Monday.

The thieves also set a fire, apparently to cover their tracks. Police currently have no hard leads in the case. Nobody was injured in the burglary.
