A gang of at least five thugs carried out a stunning robbery at a bank branch in a central area of Naples, in Italy.

Members of the gang wore masks of Hollywood actors and entered the bank through a hole in the floor, via the drains. They held about 25 customers hostage and in the meantime emptied the safety deposit boxes.

Carabinieri, police and firefighters immediately arrived at the scene after a call from a passerby and began negotiating with the thugs. After a short time, the hostages were released but when the police managed to enter the bank, the robbers had disappeared, always through the drains.

Six customers held hostage were taken to the hospital with symptoms of shock and released after about two hours.
