On May 9, several armed and masked men walked into a second-tier bank in Koplik.

Euronews Albania journalist Eni Ferhati secured images of the moment when a masked man threatens bank employees with a gun.

Bekim Gurraj, 22, Armir Shabaj, 25 and Admir Shabaj, 19, resident of Malesia e Madhe, have been arrested by police in connection to this incident.

Based on preliminary investigations these suspects are said to have thrown their guns in the area known as ‘Eye of Shegan’ in the Lake of Shkoder.

At the moment, RENEA’s underwater diving squad is still searching for the weapons and have so far only been able to find an AK-47.
