An unspecified amount of cash was stolen from a branch of the North Korean Central Bank on April 4, in what reportedly became the first bank heist in the history of the country.

On April 4, a group of unknown gunmen broke into the Shinam branch of the North Korean Central Bank, located in the city of Cheongjin, where they stole an unspecified sum of money. The crime became the country's first-ever robbery in history, the Korea Times quoted Radio Free Asia as saying this week.

The bank, located in North Hamgyong Province, is currently out of service, with local police suggesting that there was an accomplice inside the bank on that day
