Honduran Police Attempt Bank Robbery

Honduran police were horrified to discover some of their own officers robbing a bank in Tegucigalpa.
The six policemen had forced their way into the bank and tied up security guards at gunpoint.  A passer-by notice the robbery in progress and alerted the authorities.  A shoot out ensued, and one of the robbers was injured.

Security Minister Oscar Alvarez said the six officers have been arrested and will face the full force of the law.  He also ensured that the fight against corruption within the police force would be sped up.

A police spokesman said the six were “bad apples” who had sullied the name of the force.
