00:00At least one suspect is at large after taking hostages and then fleeing the scene at a bank in the
00:07western German town of Zinzig.
00:10That's according to police who said on Friday that the hostages, including one cash transport driver, were released and unharmed.
00:18While the hostage situation was underway earlier on Friday, police said they were working on the assumption that there were
00:25multiple perpetrators.
00:29Police spokesperson JĂźrgen Fockinger told reporters the two individuals who had been released were still in shock and it was
00:37too early in the investigation to provide any further details.
00:41He said police thoroughly searched and found no other people on the premises.
00:45Police said they had launched extensive operations and had cordoned off a large area to collect forensic evidence.
