Argentina may have avoided a major heist as authorities discovered a sophisticated tunnel in San Isidro, a wealthy suburb of Buenos Aires. The tunnel, extending approximately 220 meters and equipped with ventilation and electricity, was found just meters from a local bank. Investigators believe the tunnel took 6 to 9 months to construct, drawing comparisons to infamous escape routes used by notorious criminals.
The discovery of the tunnel has revived memories of a 2006 robbery in San Isidro, dubbed the 'theft of the century,' where thieves stole around $19 million from a bank. This latest incident highlights ongoing concerns about security and criminal ingenuity in affluent neighborhoods.
