Two robbers are dead and eight are in custody after a failed $32.5 million heist at Chile's largest airport. The incident occurred on Wednesday at the Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago. According to authorities, 10 robbers entered the airport after tying up a security guard. The group had targeted a plane carrying money from Miami. However, officials from Chile's DGAC aviation agency were waiting for them and a shootout ensued. Footage of the incident was widely shared on social media. In the end, two robbers were killed and eight were arrested. The foiled heist has highlighted concerns of rising crime in the Andean nation. In recent years, Chile has seen an increase in robberies and other crimes, particularly in the capital city of Santiago. In a statement, Chile's Interior Minister Gonzalo Blumel said the government will continue to work to ensure the safety of citizens and visitors. He also praised the efforts of the DGAC aviation agency and the police in foiling the heist. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
