Robbers have taken almost $US 1.5 MLN from a bank in the Siberian city of Chita in the East of Russia. They killed two guards before getting away with the cash and gold bullion from the depositary.

Police say they found a car that was used in the getaway that was burned out. The bank is a local branch of Russia’s national bank Sberbank.
