GWADAR: Three armed men robbed a private bank in Turbat, Kech on Saturday, escaping with Rs25 million after overpowering security guards, officials said.

According to bank officials, the three masked men entered the branch and disarmed two guards, taking their weapons. They then held bank employees at gunpoint while looting the cash. The suspects fled the scene afterwards.

Police arrived at the bank shortly after being alerted and launched an investigation.

“We are trying to identify the accused through the CCTV cameras,” a senior police officer said.
