A man in Taiwan was robbed of more than $2 million in cash that he had just withdrawn from the bank, a police official said. Three masked gunmen robbed the 50 year old victim in the southern city of Tainan, logging the highest-value robbery in city history with a heist of T$77 million (2.39 million), said a police investigation official. The gunmen approached the victim, as he drove from the bank to his watch shop nearby, Taiwan's central news agency said.

Police are looking for the three gunmen while advising people in the 769,000 population city to be more vigilant. "We're putting out a notice on public safety, telling citizens that we're ready to stand beside them for protection as they use the bank," The police said.
