North Korea has now suffered its first bank robbery.

The unknown robbers infiltrated the Shinam branch of the Central Bank of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in the city of Cheongjin, North Hamgyong Province, on Apr 4, Radio Free Asia reported Thursday citing a source from the province.

The robbers broke into the bank’s main entrance and stole an unspecified amount of cash, the source said. The bank is currently out of service. The provincial police assumed there was an accomplice inside the bank.

After the incident at the branch, other branches of the bank beefed up security by bringing in more security personnel. Shinam branch took care of many customers compared with other branches because it mainly brokered trades. [Korea Times]

“FIRST REPORTED BANK ROBBERY OCCURRED RECENTLY IN NORTH KOREA”

I think Tbone did it.

Wait. I just read the article. So nevermind. He is off the hook.

It wasn’t a sperm bank.

It’s not as if there’d even be a trial… Anyone looking like they folded a newspaper wrong (thus disrespecting a photo of a government official) up in Norkistan gets the chop already…
