  2. Human ingenuity, people say, has no limits. Add greed to it, however, and the results can be quite shocking, as people in a Navi Mumbai neighbourhood found out when a group of robbers executed a robbery straight out of the movies at a bank branch. Robbers dug a 25-foot tunnel to sneak into the Bank of Baroda’s Juinagar Branch in Navi Mumbai and reportedly escaped with Rs 1 crore in cash and valuables from at least 30 safe boxes, police said on Monday. According to a police official, the Hollywood film-style robbery may have taken place during the weekend holiday but came to light when the branch opened on Monday morning. Bank recap bonds, sale of stressed assets, and more Investigators said the tunnel was dug from an adjoining shop outside the bank’s store room, which houses private lockers rented out to people for safekeeping of valuable and documents. However, the robbers could not break open the main safe housing the bank’s cash reserves. The robbery – reminiscent of the British-Hollywood flick The Bank Job – created a sensation and hundreds of locals gathered there to see the unfolding drama. A police official said it could be the work of expert criminals and a new modus operandi had been revealed, which may need to be factored in by security agencies manning such banks. “The thieves had rented out the adjoining shop since May 2017. The culprits have dug an underground tunnel of 25 feet long to the locker room of the bank,” Navi Mumbai Police Commissioner Hemant Nagrale said in a brief statement. He added that 30 of the bank safe's 225 lockers had been broken into and the robbers escaped with the loot, the value of which is yet to be ascertained. Click to Read → Bank of Baroda Robbery
