When news emerged that an unknown number of robbers had managed pull off a Hollywood-style heist in Thika Town by digging a tunnel to a bank and looting over Sh50 million in cash, Kenyans on social media went wild.The thugs dug a 2.5 feet wide tunnel to the strong room of the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) from a building adjoining the bank's store locker room. According to police, the tunnel was about 30 metres long and was about 1.5 meters deep.Not even the police, stationed just 150 metres away from the bank, noticed any suspicious activity, until Monday morning, when the money was discovered missing by the branch manager, Samuel Ng’ang’a.However, what has been interesting about the whole bank robbery, is how many seemed to 'salute' the smart thugs who could execute the whole plan successfully and end up uncaught. Here are some interesting Twitter reactions.@xtiandela wrote: "But those KCB Thika bank thieves seriously planned for this job.
