Masked gunmen used a stolen helicopter and explosives to engineer a spectacular raid on a cash depot in Stockholm yesterday, breaking into the building through the roof and flying off with bags of cash, police and officials said.
The daring pre-dawn heist stunned police in the Swedish capital, who were unable to deploy their own helicopters to the scene because suspected explosives had been placed at their hangar.
The security company that owns the facility, G4S PLC, said the thieves had made off with “an unconfirmed sum of money” and added it would offer a large reward for information leading to their arrest and the return of the loot.
However it has been reported that the amount involved is over £130 million in Swedish Krona, which if correct makes it one of the world's biggest robberies.
