While exploring an abandoned office building, a teenager got trapped in a bank vault, spending almost four hours inside before he could be rescued.
A 17-year-old boy and his friend were exploring a vacant office building, which housed a former Bank of America branch, around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to Hollywood Fire Rescue.
“Him and his buddy were playing. Somehow, they got entry into this abandoned building,” said Fire Chief Pat Keller.
The 17-year-old decided to enter the bank’s vault, only to have the door close behind him.
