Two young men used guns to rob a bank.
Two young men, disguised as customers, entered a Vietcombank branch to conduct a transaction, then suddenly pulled out guns to threaten the staff and rob the bank.
According to the report, the incident occurred around noon on September 5th. At that time, two young men stopped their vehicle in front of the Vietcombank branch on Hai Thang Tu Street in Ninh Hoa town (Khanh Hoa province). While employees and customers were conducting transactions, one of the young men entered the building, brandishing a gun and threatening those around him, demanding money.

The bank tellers inside immediately pressed the alarm button. Upon being discovered, the remaining robber outside threatened them with a gun. The robber inside also managed to escape, and both got into a car and fled. When security guards fought back and people shouted "robbery," one of the robbers fired a shot, but luckily no one was hit. Some people tried to chase after them, but were unsuccessful.

At the scene, the police seized a homemade gun and ammunition.
According to bank officials, when the robbery occurred, the branch had more than a dozen people inside along with three security guards. The robber disguised himself as a customer entering the branch, which prevented security from detecting him.
"They broke in very quickly, in just a few minutes, and took the money, but we can't yet estimate the exact amount," a bank executive said. According to this person, the entire incident was recorded by the bank's security cameras. Bank security and the on-duty staff are currently working with authorities to investigate.
