Macedonian police say an employee in one of the largest banks in the country, NLB Tutunska Banka, allegedly stole about 3 million euros (USD 3.1 million) from a vault in the bank's headquarters.
Police said today that the 40-year-old employee, identified only by his initials BS, put the cash into a bag and walked out of the building unnoticed by the bank security guards.
Police said in a press release that one person had been questioned in connection with the theft. They did not specify whether the person being questioned was the suspect. Police said no further details could be released because of the ongoing investigation.
The theft was reported to police yesterday at the end of the working hours by the bank's vault manager.
