Spain nabs 'sewer robbers'
MADRID - Spanish police have arrested 10 men suspected of having pulled off several violent bank robberies using their extensive knowledge of Madrid's 2,000km sewer system.
Four members of the alleged gang were arrested after they emerged from underground following a €600,000 bank robbery, police said.
The men were armed with three guns, a club, flashlights and tape, said the statement released yesterday.
The alleged gang leader is thought to have picked up the art of using the sewer network to rob banks from his father, a known bank robber, said police, without identifying them.
