Moroccan Man Arrested in Failed Air Vent Bank Heist in Canary Islands

The initial idea was certainly tempting and, perhaps, achievable. A bit like in action movies, a 38-year-old Moroccan, residing in the Canary Islands, went into action, no doubt with an action plan that took him 5 minutes, judging by its complexity and the results of his attempt.

Without even knowing that bank air vents themselves contained security systems, this thief, lacking neither courage nor stupidity, undertook to enter the bank using this path, and this, from the terrace of the building of this branch of a well-known bank. Which (of course) triggered the alarm and, at the same time, alerted the nearest police station.

The authorities therefore arrived. Then, realizing that he was surrounded, here he is trying to flee through another air vent. New failure! He ultimately succeeded neither in entering nor in leaving, just in getting arrested. The air vents will have ultimately led him to prison.
