He said: “The bank agents were not directly involved in the robbery, but two people were negligent in not observing security issues and were arrested.” The thieves also had a history of unsuccessful bank robberies and were present for more than 12 hours to rob the bank.

*There was no security document in the bank

The police chief of the capital said: “Among the thieves, there were experts who violated in the fields of cameras, computers, and air, and one person was a woman with whom he participated in the sale.”

He said: The specialty of the main team in Tehran and other cities has been bank robbery.

Sardar Rahimi added: not a single guard was present in the bank and the bank did not have any communication system with the Maham system, the police station or the 110 police. There was no security document in the bank, and this was a lie, and all the valuable property of the people, including money, coins and currency.

* What was the story of the robbery of Bank Melli?

It should be noted that the disciplinary correspondent of Fars News Agency had previously informed that the robbery took place on Thursday night and in the morning hours of June 4, and the thieves broke through the back door of the building inside the internal parking lot by breaking and breaking the lock. They entered the building and after cutting in a large safe and breaking its password, they entered the bank safe deposit box.

According to the investigation, 250 safe deposit boxes were destroyed, but only 169 boxes were emptied.
