'Sinkhole' in Florida turns out to be tunnel for attempted bank burglary

The FBI in Florida is searching for whoever is responsible for this hole in Pembroke Pines, Florida, as they believe it is part of an "attempted bank burglary".

Initially, people in the area thought that a sinkhole had opened up - and it was reported to the authorities.

Road workers were sent to fix the hole when they made an amazing discovery.

It wasn't a sinkhole at all.

On closer inspection, workers discovered that the hole - about 20 miles north of Miami - was actually a small tunnel leading towards a bank.

The tunnel reportedly leads from a wooded area to the bank on S Flamingo Road in Pembroke Pines, Florida

Leading to a branch of Chase Bank, it stretches for about 46 metres and is just about wide enough for one person to crawl through on their tummy.

The FBI now believe that they have an attempted bank burglary on their hands, and are seeking to find the culprits.

The FBI in Miami took to social media to say they believe the tunnel to be part of an "attempted bank burglary"
