An armoured vehicle belonging to a money transfer company broke down in the Sporting area of Alexandria, north of Egypt due to the accumulation of rainwater.
The company's employees used ladders and ropes to transfer the bags of money to a safe area.
A source at the money transfer company told local media that ladders were used to reach the roof of the vehicle to take out the bags of money, which contained 5 million Egyptian pounds.
The cash was handed over to money exchange offices in the area.
The source added that employees and the security staff of the offices took part in the operation and the car was drawn to a safe area after water was taken out of the vehicle.
