Bank Robbed by Own Security Guard
Mon Oct 21, 8:44 AM ET
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli bank was robbed at gunpoint Sunday by its own security guard, who made off with 100,000 shekels ($21,000), police said.
A police spokesman said he expected police to catch the guard, who fled on foot, soon because "we know everything about him."
The guard was employed by a security company that has a contract with Bank Leumi, Israel's second largest bank, bank spokeswoman Ricki Carmi said.
She said the guard went into the Leumi branch in the Tel Aviv suburb of Petah Tikva after the bank closed to customers but bank employees were still working and told a teller to give him the money.
Carmi said the bank was investigating the incident with the security company, whose guards are licensed to carry weapons.
