In the video captured by a security camera it is seen how the malefactors strip the guards of their weapons and subdue them. One of them wore the same uniform as the officers and calmly grabs a rifle to stand guard at the entrance to the bank.
Like a movie! This is how the video is described that shows the moment in which a group of subjects dressed as soldiers entered a banking agency in Coyoles Central, municipality of Olanchito, north of Honduras.
The robbery took place on Thursday at around 1:57 in the morning, according to the images that were recorded by a security camera located at the agency.
At least five heavily armed subjects, with pistols and rifles, stripped the guards of their weapons and subdued them, as seen in the video. After passing the first security check, one of the thugs manages to enter the building, wearing police clothing. In the video, it is seen that when entering, he points a gun at the security guard who is at the entrance door and takes him to another place, then he returns and opens the door so that the gang can enter.
At that moment, at least three security agents are forcibly taken into the bank. One of the criminals stands guard outside, armed with a rifle.
One of the robbers is dressed in the uniform of the security officers of the banking agency.

The VTV news channel said that the calculation of what was stolen has not yet been calculated, but it is estimated that the amount amounts to 100,000 lempiras (about $ 4,123).
“It is believed that more than five people are involved in this crime,” local media reported.
In their statements, the security agents told the police that at least 16 armed men attacked the agency.
The authorities preliminarily reported that an abandoned vehicle was found on the road leading from the Chilea detour to the area known as Arenal. Apparently the assailants left him abandoned after committing the crime.
The car, where the money or any other indication of what happened, was not found, did not have plates and does not have a report of theft, said the police. Investigations are ongoing to find those responsible and the owner of the vehicle in which they were driven.
