Road workers in Florida sent out to repair a sinkhole got a surprise this week when they discovered it was caused by a tunnel leading to a nearby bank.


The FBI posted pictures of the narrow underground tunnel leading to a branch of Chase Bank in Pembroke Pines, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) north of Miami.

Police and the FBI were called in Tuesday night after the road workers realized that a manhole-sized hole in the road was caused by a tunnel.

Further digging revealed a crude 50-yard (46-meter) tunnel leading from a wooded area to the bank on S Flamingo Road.


The tunnel was just wide enough for a single person to crawl through on their stomach.

โ€œI would like to say Iโ€™ve seen something like this in movies,โ€ FBI agent Mike Leverock told reporters. โ€œHowever, this hole is so small. Itโ€™s unique.โ€

The FBI said in a tweet that it was treating the case as an โ€œattempted bank burglary.โ€
