Default Photos from Macedon Plaza ANZ Incident

Well this is the aftermath of the ANZ bank after a ute entered the bank through the front window, unfortuneately they pulled the ute out before I could take any pictures of it in there but here it is anyway...

Oh wow! Good ole Tempy Lower, just around the corner from me (and where I was working)

What time did this happen?

Not sure exactly but I turned up at about 4:45 and they were just starting to pull the ute out then, so I'd say it happened around 4:20-4:30. Where is it that you work?

Always seemed dodgy to me, no wonder it didn't last long.

If it was in Bankstown it was more likely a "drive-by" :ticking:

Was this thing (above) an accident or were they trying to rob the bank?
Notice how all the girls in the pics are wearing BLACK. Except for the fat lady in the where's Wally outfit!!

Well one of the tellers thought that it was a robbery and ran out screaming, but apparently the driver had some form of heart attack and hit the accelerator somehow. Also heard that he backed out and hit someone, then panicked and floored it back into the parking space, up the gutter, across the footpath, up the brick wall and into the bank. Either way the driver was alright and was able to walk into the ambulance.
