Thieves break into 3T warehouse & steal 20 bikes

Italian bicycle and accessories brand 3T has suffered a major break-in this morning at its Bergamo warehouse. Between six and eight masked thieves drilled through a one-meter-thick wall and walked off with twenty high-end bicycles, including a one-of-a-kind cycle frame handpainted by famous Italian frame builder Dario Pegoretti, who died some months ago

One metre thick? Is the warehouse a bomb shelter?

In the dark the thieves stuffed up and stole the 1 x bikes by mistake which they couldn't give away.

Drilling a big enough hole through 1m thick cement is not a fast job.

Wonder if the wall was thin, hole was 1m in diametre and there was something lost in translation, i.e cut through sheet metal.
