They wanted to deposit money - and pulled out weapons: this is how the "prestigious Israel" safe room was robbed

In a move that seems to have been taken from a Hollywood script, the robbers managed to mislead the "Ruthenium" company when they claimed that they intended to make a deposit.

Instead, they arrived at the building in central Tel Aviv, armed and masked, and managed to tie up the guard and escape with the loot.

None of the suspects have been apprehended so far

The Ruthenium company, whose safe room in Tel Aviv was broken into on Thursday in a robbery that seems to have been taken from a Hollywood script, is proud on its home site that its customers "belong to the prestigious customer club in Israel."

Despite what they call the "meticulous security system" whose "plans, execution protocols and procedures" were first brought to Israel from Switzerland, they said, the robbers who broke into the compound on Thursday managed to overcome the security system.

The event began Thursday evening.

At 6 p.m., according to reports from the security guard at the scene, the company receives a call from a person who claimed he intended to make a deposit of money in one of the safes.

One can only imagine how the robbers knew how to outwit the security guard, because as described on the company's website, for security reasons they do not list all the security measures the company takes "for the sake of increasing security".
