A man armed with a pistol, whose face was not covered at all yesterday managed to rob the La Nucia branch of the Bancaja Bank of some 30,000 Euros yesterday. It would appear he acted alone, and made off without aggressing either the staff or the clients inside the Bank. Also yesterday, two men armed with knives attacked the Rojales branch of the CAM bank, making off with between forty and seventy thousand Euros.Author: Valencia Life
