Two Swiftly Arrested after Robbing Bank in Jnah
The Internal Security Forces managed Thursday to quickly arrest two thieves who had robbed a bank in the Jnah area in southern Beirut in the morning.
“Around 10:30 am, two men riding a motorcycle and carrying pistols entered an IBL bank branch in the Jnah area and robbed $40,000 and LBP 40 million,” an ISF statement said.
But following close surveillance, an Intelligence Branch force carried out “a special and abrupt operation at 5:00 pm and managed to arrest the two culprits in Beirut's Salim Salam area,” the statement added.
It identified them as 25-year-old A. S. and 23-year-old F. S. – both Lebanese.
“During interrogation, they confessed that they were behind the aforementioned robbery in addition to 3 other robberies including one of the same bank branch,” the ISF said.
“A large amount of the stolen money and three guns were seized in their possession, in addition to the rented Renault car that they were riding when they were apprehended,” the ISF added.
