Police are hunting an armed gang who robbed a bank and then fled through sewers. The crooks, who wore masks of actors including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, spent weeks digging a 40ft tunnel before the Hatton Garden-style heist.
They entered the bank through the main entrance and took 25 staff membersand customers hostage in a smallroom. The gang then wrenched open around 40 deposit boxes and swiped jewellery, watches, gold and cash.
And by thetime police arrived, the thieves had escapedinto the sewers in Naples, Italy. Pasquale Raniero Antino, one of the hostages, said: “The robbers tried to calm us down.

“They were saying, ‘Just be calm, don’t get agitated. That way nothing is going to happen to you’.
“But they became much more tense when they heard police sirens outside. They said to us, ‘We’ll shoot you’.

“They seemed to be professionals. They knew how to handle themselves, how to calm us down but also intimidate us.
“They were acting according to a well worked-out plan.” The gang, dubbed the “mole men”, carried out the daylight robbery on the Crédit Agricole bank last week.
