Man Caught Hiding in Bank Ceiling After Alleged Attempted Break-In

A dramatic video circulating online has captured the moment a young man was discovered hiding inside the ceiling of a branch of First City Monument Bank (FCMB).

According to eyewitnesses, the suspect reportedly entered the bank during business hours, locked himself inside a restroom, and later climbed into the ceiling to hide—apparently waiting for staff to close for the day.

The incident took a twist the next morning when employees arrived to find the main entrance locked from the inside. Sensing something was wrong, they forced the door open and soon heard strange noises coming from the ceiling.

Security operatives were called in and eventually apprehended the man, who was found attempting to tamper with the bank’s internal systems. In the now-viral clip, he is seen being dragged down, beaten, and tied up with a rope by security personnel and onlookers.

As of the time of filing this report, FCMB has not released an official statement regarding the incident.
