Germany bank robbery – level 1

Germany bank robbery

05-01-2026 15:00

A big bank crime happens in Germany. Thieves take money, gold, and jewelry from a bank. Police think that the thieves use a drill and make a hole in a wall. Firefighters find the hole after an alarm rings.

Many people come to the bank. They feel scared and angry. Their safety boxes are open. Some people lose family gold and jewelry. They worry about their money and special things.

Police look for the thieves. They think the crime needs careful planning. They check people who work at the bank and in security. Police do not catch the thieves yet.

Difficult words: thief (a person who takes things which do not belong to them), jewelry (things which people wear on their neck, fingers, and in their ears), drill (a tool to make holes).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
