Скачать или смотреть Hazmat Team Operation - Biohazard At Bank - Press Conference

This afternoon at around 3:30 p.m. emergency crews were called to the Chase Bank on Tully Rd. in Modesto, California for reports that 3 bank employees were braking out into rashes on their hands. The employees say they began experiencing these symptoms shortly after handling money that a customer brought in. They reported that the money was wrapped up in a suspicious way, in a towel. The customer who had brought in the money was gone by the time symptoms began.

Upon arrival Modesto Police Officers and Modesto Firefighters cleared the bank of all customers and employees. All 6 bank employees went through a decontamination process which included being hosed by a fire hose twice, first clothed and then in the nude behind a shroud.

The 3 who had rashes and the 3 who did not were taken to area hospitals for treatment and evaluation. Their conditions have not yet been released.

A Hazmat Team then made entry into the bank and recovered the suspect money and any other suspicious items. A process that lasted for several hours, well into the night. During the Hazmat operation unknown chemicals were in fact found on some of the money. The items were taken to a lab for further evaluation. It remains unclear what the chemical was.

Police are looking into this matter however they have not yet determined if any crime has taken place.
