North Sea Evening News 29 April, 2020 (Wednesday)


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday afternoon at 2:00, a robbery occurred in the Mongkok branch

of Hang Seng Bank. At that time, there were about 10 clients in the bank. Two

men each with a gun in their hand rushed into the bank. One of the men

shouted at the people in the bank and then he fired his gun at the ceiling.

Everyone was scared. The other man ran towards the counter and ordered a 5

teller to put the money into his bag. After the bag was filled, he walked to

another counter and asked another teller to fill up another bag with money.

Then he ran back to his partner and was ready to leave.

Suddenly, the alarm was on. The two robbers were very angry and they

each grabbed a woman as hostages. They ran out of the bank and jumped 10

into a van which was waiting outside. Someone saw the number on the

number plate of the van. It was HK 007. The man in the van also had a gun.

Luckily, they did not take the hostages away. They set them free once they

got into the van.

Now the police need some witnesses who saw what happened before 15

and after the robbery. The robbers are very dangerous because they have

guns. If anyone who can offer help to the police, please call the police hotline

1234 5678.
