TIRANA (Reuters) – Two would-be Albanian bank robbers were arrested Wednesday as they tried to drill a passageway into a bank vault from a shop they had rented above it, police officials said.
In an aborted heist echoing the plot of the Woody Allen film "Small Time Crooks," the two men were caught after the noise from their drilling between the upper floor shop and the bank vault alerted the authorities.
"We moved in when they were in the last stages of finishing the tunnel," Tirana police chief Tonin Vocaj told reporters.
They should have used ear plugs to keep the noise down.
