I Carabinieri they are carrying out the surveys, viewing the closed circuit images and those from the local cameras.
But for the time being the robber who this morning pretended to be a courier and attempted an armed robbery on a bank in Sesto San Giovanni is still on the run.
Robbery in Sesto San Giovanni
The alarm went off inside a bank in Sesto San Giovanni shortly after opening time when what appeared to be one of the many couriers working on deliveries and collections entered through the front door. A matter of seconds.

Time to locate a counter and ask for the official responsible for a delivery. When the branch manager showed up, the man, wearing a yellow vest identical to the one used by thousands of ponies who cross the city on scooters and bicycles, pulled out a gun and asked the employee to hand over the money in the register.
Improvised but violent robber
From the first testimonies, including those of some people queuing at the counter for the usual cashier operations, it was not an expert robber. Perhaps completely improvised.
Most likely, the gun he was holding was also fake. But when the manager told him that all the money was kept in the safe and that the ATMs only had a few hundred euros in cash, the man went berserk. First he grabbed the unfortunate bank employee: then he beat him up before running away. Two punches to the face, very violent.
A few seconds later the criminal was on the street, managing to disappear. The director of the bank, in shock, could do nothing but alert 112 with the military who quickly opened the case investigations. Aside from the fright, no serious consequences for the bank employee who was treated on the spot.
