It could have been the heist of the century, if it weren't for a metal rod sticking out in the middle of a cobblestone street.

Authorities in Argentina's San Isidro, the site of the fabled 2006 "heist of the century," announced Thursday that they had prevented a repeat crime.

On Wednesday, a driver who had parked his vehicle heard a noise in the chassis of the car which turned out to be caused by the rod protruding from the road surface.

After police arrived at the scene in the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires, they began digging, where a tunnel was found that started in a warehouse about 220 meters from a Macro bank branch.

A large amount of soil had been moved and the extraction machines were discovered.

The tunnel was lined with wood, had ventilation and electric light and ended almost at the bank's door, according to police. So far, the police have not found the would-be robbers.

Investigators said construction took six to nine months and called the tunnel an engineering feat "better than the one El Chapo Guzman" used to escape from prison in Mexico in 2015.

The incident was reminiscent of the so-called "robbery of the century", which took place in 2006 in the same luxurious city, when criminals, with meticulous planning, stole nearly 19 million dollars from a bank and escaped through a tunnel.

In the robbery that became an inspiration for many films, series and books, the robbers used toy guns and left a note in the safe that read "In a neighborhood of rich people, no guns and grudges, it's only money."
