Around half past three last night, the Crelan bank branch was raided. “The robbers tried to steal trucks in a nearby company,” says Mayor Renaat Huysmans (N-VA). “That failed, but they managed to get hold of a bulldozer. They also took a heavy jeep and trailer with them from a farmer in the area, which they left behind. Then they drove the bulldozer into the facade of the bank office for minutes on end. to obtain an ATM. The owner, who lives above the bank, said she was afraid the whole building would collapse. “
