More Bodies Found Behind Bank Till

Hi,

Could anyone tell me what the following headline means?


More Bodies Found Behind Bank Till

Thanks.

I'm not sure. Unless it means more bodies were found behind the bank counter...not evident when a person first walks in the door.

A till (Merriam-Webster online) is:

Main Entry: 4till
Pronunciation: 'til
Function: noun
Etymology: Anglo-French tylle
Date: 15th century
1 a : a box, drawer, or tray in a receptacle (as a cabinet or chest) used especially for valuables b : a money drawer in a store or bank; also : CASH REGISTER
2 a : the money contained in a till b : a supply of especially ready money

What is the context? It sounds like a newspaper headline. It could describe the scene after a violent bank robbery, with more dead bodies found behind the till of the bank.
That's my imagination racing away. There's probably a more mundane explanation!
