Armed robbers targeted the GCB Bank branch located in the plush Labone neighbourhood. Intelligence units however acted with lightning speed to foil the daylight robbery attempt on Thursday August 13 2026. Citizens around the area experienced a moment of intense panic as gunshots rented the air.
According to preliminary statements from the law enforcement authorities two of the suspected armed robbers were gunned down during the fierce exchange. A third suspect was successfully apprehended by the gallant officers and taken into safe custody. The swift intervention prevented what could have easily turned into a massive national financial tragedy. People gathered around the perimeter at Labone quickly as heavy police cordons locked down the entire neighborhood.
Management of GCB Bank at Labone later released a statement clarifying that their actual physical facility was not directly breached during the operation.
