On April 24, 2026, a masked robber carrying a replica grenade entered a CTBC Bank branch in downtown Taipei. Bank staff remained calm and alerted the police while pretending to cooperate. Taipei police and a bomb squad quickly arrived, cordoned off the area, and neutralized the suspect without firing a shot. The grenade was later confirmed to be a realistic model. No injuries or property loss occurred, and the quick response of the staff and police was highly praised.
