Three Armed Men Take Hostages at Credit Agricole Bank in Milan
Milan – On Thursday at approximately 11:30 local time, an armed robbery occurred at the Credit Agricole bank located in Piazza Medaglie d’Oro square. Three individuals, identified as robbers and wearing masks, entered the premises and took 25 people – including bank employees and customers – hostage. Initial reports indicate the perpetrators attempted to gain entry through a pre-existing hole in the building’s floor.
During the operation, two additional individuals emerged from this opening. Following a period of ransacking the bank’s safes, the group subsequently exited through the same hole they initially used. Police responded swiftly to a call from a passerby who observed unusual activity at the scene.
As of this report, the three individuals remain at large and are actively being pursued. Authorities have not released further details regarding the ongoing investigation or potential motives. The 25 hostages were safely released following a prolonged standoff.
No injuries were reported. The investigation is ongoing, and further updates will be provided as they become available.
