Sirens could be heard all along South Las Gracias Blvd. in the wee hours of Saturday morning. Police were responding to an anonymous call from the Las Gracias Branch of The Bank of Vonderdom. The call reported a robbery in progress, however when officers arrived, they discovered a curious scene.

The night guards had been knocked unconscious at both the front door and vault entrance. When they were revived, they could not remember anything about the attempted robbery. But what police discovered in side the vault was even more puzzling.

Five men, who appeared to be the would-be bank robbers, were found tied up inside of the vault. They too were knocked unconscious. A huge shipment of freshly minted bills had been delivered to the bank only that very morning.The money was strewn allover the vault, as though the perpetrators were caught in the middle of their criminal deed.

It is believed that these men are tied to the criminal organization known only as “The Militia.” Had their attempts been successful, this would have been the fourth hit on Vonderdom Banks by The Militia in recent months. No one knows who they are, or what they are really after. When the officers were able to wake the crew of perpetrators, they tried to get some answers. But the robbers’ lips were steel traps.

Unfortunately, we still don’t have any real answers, because this case took on two more strange turns. When police went to review the security footage, all the tapes were gone. Detectives were left clueless as to who apprehended the perps.

Now, the police could get no info from the robbers on the crime scene. It was decided, of course, that they would be booked and interrogated at the precinct. The crew was loaded into the police van and headed straight towards the Las Gracias Police Headquarters. But much to their surprise and chagrin, the van was blindsided by the Militia. They had come for their compatriots.

Lucky for the police, no one was killed in the showdown, but needless to say, the Commissioner blew her top! She’s on a mission to find and bring down The Militia. Many people are wondering who they are, and we’ve had reports of curious phenomena surrounding this mysterious group of bandits. Now of course this could all be hearsay, but you never know. Stay tuned for details on The Militia Crisis and The Bank of Vonderdom robberies.
