Tags: crime, Israel

Three masked gunmen robbed a Bank Hapoalim branch in Kfar Kara Sunday morning.

The three men stormed the bank and fired into the air, before making violent threats and demanding money. No one was hurt in the robbery.

The three men fled the scene in a Subaru that police believe was torched shortly thereafter. Police set up roadblocks in an effort to trap the assailants, but they managed to escape.
