BAGO----- A CB bank located beside the old Yangon-Mandalay highway, in Yedashe Township, Bago Region, was robbed on Friday afternoon and over Ks 53 million were taken away, according to people lived nearby.

Four unidentified men arrived at the CB bank by motorbikes and then they took handmade mine from their knapsack and put the handmade mine on the bank’s counter. Later, they robbed a bank with handmade guns.

“There are four young men. They washed their hands with hand gel in front of bank security. Afterwards, the bank robbers said that they robbed a bank. The robbers didn’t beat any one so also a handmade bomb didn’t explode. There are about 10 people at the bank’s downstairs. It happened in a short time. The bank robbers came to the bank pretending as the bank customers. A CB bank usually carries out its banking services after shutting the doors. A military bomb disposal team arrived at the bank and they removed the unexploded handmade bomb,” said a local.

The security forces are currently inspecting inside the bank and they conducted the investigating.
