There’s usually a security guard in that bank and there’s construction guys working there as well. Gutsy move.
Renovation, and yes, the front of the bank is all boarded up…just a narrow entrance to inside. The robber took advantage of these unusual conditions, and knew very well that what happened inside would not be easily seen from outside. Yes, there is usually a security guard, and the tellers are great people.
