Dieser Raubueberfall fand heute mittag gleich bei mir um die Ecke stand... und ich war im Buero! DAMN IT!
Hier ist noch mal der Text fuer die Leute mit einer Linkphobie :o)
A bank robbery spun out of control Tuesday on Miami Beach when a robbery suspect was arrested and his sidekicks, possibly hunkered down in a medical arts building across the street, phoned the bank and threatened to start shooting people if the man wasn't released.
The standoff dragged well into the afternoon, with heavily armed police and FBI agents in bulletproof vests maintaining a tense vigil. A little before 2 p.m., about 20 office workers, their arms held high in the air, filed out a side door of the medical arts building.
The robbers were not believed to be among them.
Nautilus Middle and North Beach Elementary -- some 2,000 students and staff -- remain on lockdown.
Parents this afternoon will not be allowed to pick up their students. Officials ask parents to watch television news to find out when they can.
The robbery suspects may have been trying to hit a string of banks on the same block when they were thwarted, police on the scene said.
The plan unraveled about 10:20 a.m. during a robbery in progress at the Commercial Bank of Florida building at 425 41st St., also known as Arthur Godfrey Road.
Police arrested a man, as yet unidentified.
Shortly after that, the bank received a phone call from someone threatening to start shooting people if the man in custody wasn't released.
The employee who received the call handed the phone over to police.
Almost simultaneously, people began streaming out of the Sheridan Center, the purple medical arts building across the street. They said there were two gunmen inside the building.
''Obviously, we took out as many people as possible and secured the building,'' said Bobby Hernandez, spokesman with the Miami Beach Police Department.
''We have no information that there are any hostages,'' he said.
Officers from the Miami Police Department, Miami-Dade police and agents from the FBI were dispatched to help with the situation. Police and news helicopters hovered overhead. Several blocks of 41st Street in both directions were cordoned off.
Additionally, police with guns drawn were seen storming nearby banks, including a CitiBank and an Ocean Bank.
