Armed robbery inside Once bank branch

Five young thieves entered and commited a robbery in a HSBC bank branch in the Once neighbourhood, along Rivadavia at 2470. The youths attacked a civil policeman who was in a queue for the cashier desk inside the building.

They took a briefcase from him which contained a sum of $700 pesos in cash, documents and his regulation gun.

The youths were apparently well-dressed and went into the bank appearing to be regular customers, queuing as did other clients before they commenced their attack. They got away running with their loot.
