There will be some dissatisfied would - be criminals in Florida today . When what first come along to be a sinkhole emerged in Pembroke Pines , a city to the magnetic north of Miami , it revealed a secret underground passage – that was directed directly towards the local banking concern .
Local police were called in to enquire a potential sinkhole that had opened under the entrance to the city ’s Flamingo Pines shopping plaza on Wednesday morning . deep down was a power cord that ran towards a forested area , where the police establish an entrance to the burrow covered by a wooden palette .
The tunnel seem to be newly excavated . constabulary say it is roughly 15 meters ( 50 foot ) long and just 0.6 to 1.2 beat ( 2 - 4 base ) in diameter , make for a very cozy commute .
Using a remote control - controlled rover , the law investigated the instruction of the burrow and discover it was heading towards the repulse - up windowpane of a nearby bank .
" They ’re head up towards the ATM . I do n’t think they were doing that for any other reason , " FBI Miami Special Agent Michael D. Leverock told media , TIMEreports , referring to the perpetrator ' nefarious bank - robbing design .
Inside the tunnel , police spotted a pair of squashy iron heel alongside some heisting essentials – a ladder , a stool , digging tools , and a Honda generator .
" I would wish to say I find out something like this in the movies , " order Leverock , WPLGreports . " However , this mess is so low . It is unequaled .
" These people were using pickaxes and a small small coaster wagon . "
In any case , the thing has now been handed over to the FBI , who are invoke to the public for any more information on the case . As of justly now , there appear to be no suspect and no check made .
While this particular " swallow hole " was , in actual fact , a tunnel , they do plough up quite frequentlyin Florida(as the President no doubt have intercourse ) – blame the Sunshine State ’s porous limestone foundation .
Sinkholes incline to form in places where water dissolves the rock below the grease . This creates a dental caries below the surface that can open up when the top layer of soil collapse . The softer and more poriferous the rock , the greater the peril .
