Props that they, so far, have managed to get away with it. Wonder if some of the robbers are already out of the country. They have enough cash obviously.
Thieves using a helicopter and explosives staged an elaborately planned, early-morning raid on a cash depot in Stockholm, Sweden, making off with bags filled with money, police said Wednesday.
How they dealt with the Police:
Swedish police couldn't pursue the thieves because a bag marked "bomb" had been placed outside the police heliport, and officers had to deal with the bag before they could enter the heliport.
It is unclear whether the bag contained a bomb.
The thieves also had blocked the roads around the cash depot with metal rods, TV4 reported.

(CNN) -- Thieves using a helicopter and explosives staged an elaborately planned, early-morning raid on a cash depot in Stockholm, Sweden, making off with bags filled with money, police said Wednesday.
A helicopter landed on the roof of the G4S cash depot in Vastberga, in the southern part of Stockholm, shortly after 5 a.m. (11 p.m. ET), Swedish police said.
Witness Bjorn Lockstrom first heard three loud bangs as the thieves used explosives to get into the building, he told Swedish CNN affiliate TV4.
"Then I saw two men hoisting themselves down into the building," Lockstrom said. "Just minutes later, I saw how they hoisted bags of money up to the helicopter on the roof."
The burglary happened only days before the 25th, the day every month when Swedes receive their monthly salary, so the depot was rife with cash.
The cash depot serves automatic teller machines all across Stockholm, TV4 reported.
Sources told TV4 the thieves could have gotten their hands on several hundreds of millions of kronors, the equivalent of tens of millions of U.S. dollars.
TV images from the scene showed a gray helicopter circling the building and then flying away. The thieves flew south after they had loaded the helicopter with the bags, according to a statement from police.
One person was taken into custody later in the day, a spokesman for the Stockholm Police told a news conference Wednesday afternoon.
"The individual was arrested by police in a Stockholm suburb today," he said.

* Sharp-suited London jewel robbers grab $65M
The person is currently being questioned. Police would not go into details of the individual's role in the drama, according to TV4. Nor have they disclosed how much cash they believe was taken.
The helicopter was a Bell 206 Jet Ranger and had been stolen earlier during the night.
Swedish police couldn't pursue the thieves because a bag marked "bomb" had been placed outside the police heliport, and officers had to deal with the bag before they could enter the heliport.
It is unclear whether the bag contained a bomb.
The thieves also had blocked the roads around the cash depot with metal rods, TV4 reported.
No one was hurt during the burglary, police said. The area around the building was sealed off as authorities interviewed witnesses.
"A substantial reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible and recovery of the stolen money," Alison Flynn, media relations manager for G4S, told CNN.

I wonder what their real careers are, and what motivated them to try such an elaborate heist.

Profesional criminals. This mob have been robbering around Nordic countries for past for years...

Wow sounds awesome (despite it being a crime)
|
might be easy to find if they interrogate all the people that took training for flight schools
edit: actually if they hired the pilot from another country then it would be impossible to track
|

|
How are they going to investigate this shit? sounds like george clooney and the gang just released Ocean's 14!
|
They must of been planning this out for months now. It reminds me of that Israelian guy on a motorcycle robbing banks.
|
Yeah, this happened like 10 min from my home. the problem was that the police who wasnt blocked in any way were retards. It should take them 15min MAX to get to the depot when the larm goes of but it took them more than 25 min and the robbers were gone by then...
this is a big fiasco by the police, I mean heads will roll so to speak.
|
A bag marked "bomb". The ultimate time-buyer!!
Love heist movies; unfortunate for the bank but they have to give it to the robbers- they just wanted it more.

I can respect burglars like this, but fuck the people who mug you in the street or the ones that simply go into a bank with a gun.

Spectacluar and awesome. Kinde hope they get away with it since it was such a ballsy heist. Claim to fame, I have been in skavlöten were they landed the helicopter.
|
How did they fly away? I know in the USA at least everything in the air is tracked with radar. I assume european nations do as well. When they land I figured the police will just be waiting for them wherever they go. Unless they fly to north africa or some shit.
|
I remember that I read something similar in the newspaper a year ago or so. Those robbers used a crane or something to destroy the side of the bank. They entered it though that hole, stole like 6 million and drove away while throwing nails out of their car so the police couldn't follow them. And they had planted a bomb to create chaos and distract the police.
I found an article about it:
http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,544692,00.html
Pretty crazy, sounds like a movie. :D
|
Well since the police were unable to get airborne they had to find them by car. Apparently they made some evasive flying and flied pretty low too so it was not that easy.
EDIT:My post was directed to InToTheWannaB.

The briefcase marked "BOMB" has been used in swedish robberies before, and no, it didn't contain a bomb.

Yeah, it was not that easy. The pilot was obviously a pro since he landed the helicopter on a spot that is nearly impossible, inches away from the trees. The police even said that their pilots would'nt even be able to make such a awesome landning
Btw, the police have now a theory that the robbers got over 45 million SEK. That is approx 6,6 million dollars if im correct. The police knows this because they calculated how much maximum weight the helicopter could fly.
|
Sometimes I just wish that deploying military units against civilians wouldn't be so tabo :/ ( and illegal) They could have had a JAS fighter on that stupid helicopter less than 2 minutes after take off but nono let them run away and then spend a small fortune trying to track them down :/
Yeah I know the reasons, I just hate people like these with a passion.
Only good part is that there is a pretty decent chance that they will get caught.
|
by the way, they couldn't track them with radar cuz of the pro pilot who flew at extremely low altitude.

The police was there not very long after the helicopter landed north of Stockholm. It landed in a very tight spot with trees all around which means that the pilot was extremely capable. They got away, however, probably in a car.

i have a bag marked money.. but sadly there is none in it

I love these stories. Anyone that creative probably deserves to have the money

this is like the italian job or something in real life whoa

I'm not sure why people have admiration for the robbers... although it would make a good plot for a movie if they edited in some semi-plausible justification other than greed.

as far as i know, helicopters can fly at low enough altitudes (is that the correct word?) to be missed by radar.. and from what i understand beeing fed this story by swedish news, they landed the chopper quite quickly in some nearby wooden area and then split with some other veichle..
I do love a good heist.. gogo robbers! ^^

sweet hopefully they don't get caught

Weird. I never wished too be such a moronic cunt risking other peoples lives for their own selfish dreams of riches.
Some of the same shit happened here in Norway a while back (no helicopter involved though), but then a cop with a wife and two kids was murdered. Guess it wasn't as cool then.

I do not approve of what they did of course, but I'm impressed, fascinated and interested.
|
I'm kind of impressed by these robbers. But regardless, the swedish economy is partially fucked now. But oh well, I mean I'm still in shock that something like this could happen.

reminds me of the guy who stole a lot of money, ran down to a lake where a raft was changed into construction workers clothes, and met up with 5 other people who he had paid $25 for standing there with construction workers clothes. Then he went off about his day with all the money he stole.
|
are helicopters allowed to just fly around in the airspace above cities without identification? i'm curious as to the policies regarding airspace.
|
now i wonder how they're going to launder all that money.

Incredible. How cool do you feel after something like that?

Well even if they can't what are they gonna do? They can't scramble fighter planes for it or something. They can also just fly low enough that radar can't really even pick them up. And before anyone could figure out that something was going on it would be too late.

This is Stockholm syndrome - Muse without the hostages!

The police couldn't call up the nearest aerospace agency and have them point a satellite to the area to track the helicopter? That what the show '24' had me believe.

Because they didn't use brute force or harm anyone in the process, while(as someone after your post said) achieved something many people wish they could do. If it turns out that that bomb is real then I'd probably lose some respect, but if they managed something brilliant like this without doing harm to anyone than I'm impressed. Basically I'm impressed.

seriously. to put a bag labeled "BOMB" on the helipad? that's awesome. i can't help to find this incredibly amusing.

That is so freaking cool. I wonder how long did it take them to precisely plan the whole operation.

Well that theory is what weight is recommended for starting. You could actually overload some when a) already in flight (which it was) and b) flying low (which they had to do to stay under the radar). Taking into consideration that an extra kilo would be almost half a million sek(over $70k) I think they might have risked adding some extra kilos.

On another note, lets keep this up so we would know what's next? Kinda Intriguing how the police tries to get these fellas caught...
I think they've been planning this for years and not months.. Like they checked out the mannerisms of the guards, what time is the traffic heavy, what day the bank is filled with money etc?
Also, they could be former military due to their very good evasive tactics? (Am I the only one thinking like this)

I think they should've slipped in a Why So Serious? reference.
But on second thought some morons would blame the movies for it -.-

The police need to check who suddenly became rich as hell :D
Cool story!

I dont understand this.
Ive always thought that there are AWACS planes that carry radars in the air, thus the 'flying low to omit radar' is sort of a myth. The second part is the 'unidentified helicopter over city' - as far as I know the military can shot them down, especially after 9/11...

misguided? that makes no sense. there's nothing "misguided" about my sense of morality. these guys aren't "cool", they're criminals and everything that is wrong with the world.

If they are any smart, they won't use the money for a long time and for sure as hell they won't pay it into some bank account in the next month's... Keep it cash, slowly use it, don't use *only* stolen money but also money from other *sources*, don't suddenly play rich. Most robbers get stupid after the robbery, thats why they get caught.
Btw: Sending up a military jet or something to catch them would probably have cost way more than the money they stole.
Plain Killing a few robbers that did no harm to anyone (at least in this crime) is also highly questionable.
The only one that lost some money here is some insurance company which just exists and gets payed for such things, so in reality: No one, at least not in a terrible way.
6.6 Millions... some mid grade manager just lost his bonus. What a HORRIBLE crime... seriously...

Balls, skill, determination, creativity.
But what i like the most is that they didn't kill/hurt anyone during this (as far as i understand).
No matter how you look at it, moral/practical perspective you just got to give them credit for creativity and determination. And nonetheless hearing what that helicopter pilot did... pure skill.
|
Yeah, killing them with a Fighterjet or something would have been much better from a morality standpoint...
You should search them. You should take back the money. You should jail them. But keep it to a *sane* level.
You should not shoot them and it's good that they did not get lighted up by some military jet or something, what they did was a robbery, no one got hurt.
There are tons of people that don't pay taxes because they hide their money for some reason, but you don't want to shoot them for it? Or do you?...

This type of elaborate robberies happen a few times a year around here (and everywhere else I assume) The police finds them in about 50% of the cases, according to the professor on TV yesterday anyway.

The Swedish crime fighting-guru Leif GW Persson said that the robbers could've got away with as much as 1 billion SEK (~$146 million). They're even fearing a loss of cash for the atm's in the Stockholm region.
Question is if a helicopter can even carry that much money in cash. Especially since they had to get the robbers out aswell.
Regardless of the amount: Jönssonligan exists!

Swedish police really sucks -,- , also they have their helicopters in a really remote place instead of inside some kind of military area or whatever :>
Too bad we wont have any cash left in Stockholm for payday

I dont understand this.
Ive always thought that there are AWACS planes that carry radars in the air, thus the 'flying low to omit radar' is sort of a myth. The second part is the 'unidentified helicopter over city' - as far as I know the military can shot them down, especially after 9/11...
There is not always an airborne AWACS in the vicinity. Actually, AWACS don't fly that often (at least in France, don't really know about Sweden). Someone suggested satellite spotting : IF Sweden has that in store, either they are lucky to have the satellite overfly Stockholm at that precise moment, or it would take way to long to position the satellite correctly. And I believe the cost would be huge.
Otherwise, flying "under the radar" is pretty easy with a helicopter, especially around cities. Most radars are secondary surveillance radars (SSR) , meaning they only detect aircraft taht have a transponder which is on onborad. I believe thieves would leave that off.
Civilian primary surveillance radars can detect aircraft without transponders but have a very limited range (a few Km at best), and their "sight" is easily blocked by buildings, trees, etc...
Military primary radars have a good range, but their sight can be easily blocked too. With a skilled pilot in a helicopterflying near a city and around forests, it could easily go unnoticed for several minutes. By which times the robbers had escaped apparently.

Hehe, I'm well aware of that. What I don't understand is why they still ask him about his opinion. I mean the man was kicked off the police force because he didn't do anything except pull a fat "consultant" paycheck.
He was hilarious on Efterlyst though :D

If people would just stop using cash. We need to up the card usage percentage and this won't happen. Sure there's problems in using cards too but not as big and they're probably easier to resolve.
I find it odd that so many think this is "cool" or actually congratulate the criminals on getting away with it.

Though I admit the bomb-bag was very funny.

they didn't kill anyone 0_o
I did not say they did kill someone. I said that a cop was killed when the same type robbery went down in Norway.

The lack of cash in circulation isn't caused by the lack of actual bills, but rather that the central is broken and work there has been disrupted. Also people tend to stock up on cash when they hear something like this, thus even worsening the situation. Also, if making wild speculations will make me cool, I'd say that they might have gotten away with 100 billion dollars.

how did they get a briefcase marked bomb onto the police helipad. you'd thought a police helipad would be watched or at the very least guarded and not in open space

Well... If there is no reason to guard something, then it's stupid to guard it.
That someone put a bag on it is hardly a reason to start protecting helipads  .

It's actually strange that Sweden isn't better equipped in handling these kinds of robberies considering the recent history of bank robberies and especially against money transports.
Then again, this might've been to extraordinary for any protocols to be followed.

So, if I've got my facts straight - this gang of uber-thieves hovered an empty shuttle just outside the choke of the Police Force's main; setting up a soft-contain and gaining total map control, after which, they auto-mined a nearby Police-ally expansion and subsequently recalled away.
Very impressive!

The only things they can be credited for is designing a well thought-out plan that also didn't include planned human murder as a requirement, and then executing it smoothly. But I'm pretty sure that most deaths occuring during robberies aren't planned. Why would they ? Killing people can easily go wrong. Regardless of any ethics it's just smarter to avoid it if you can.
If a cop just happened to be there during the robbery and got in their way, would he be dead by now? Maybe these robbers were determined to kill anyone in their path rather than getting caught. It just happened that they didn't have to, thanks to the qualities I already credited them for, and also thanks to luck because in life sometimes shit just happens. If it went otherwise and they killed a guy the reactions in this thread would be very different for sure.
Just ask yourself, between killing someone, and spending the next X years in jail, is the choice really that obvious? Past a certain point most people will just grab a gun and kill. This point just depends on how bad life in jail is, how much you value your freedom, how much you value human life, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if for some people X is actually pretty low.
The BOMB bag is pretty hilarious though.

He wasn't kicked off, he left on his own in protest of the poor goverment handling of the police force in sweden. Also he is very smart.

I base my picture of him and opinion about him mainly on the interviews I've seen with him and some articles and I must say I'm not at all impressed. And I have read one of his books, he can't write for shit IMO.
As for the thing with the police force I guess he left technically but they really didn't want him there so I don't think he had a choice in staying. In the words of former Rikspolischef (sort of national chief of police): "Recommending GW Persson for the professorship is the biggest professional mistake I've made".
And: "It's immoral to recieve a pay that high and not do anything"

I see possible reasons. many.
But for me it's like giving guns to police officers which also seems logical but is not everywhere the case because as it seems, it's not needed everywhere.

Helipad isn't guarded but usually accesss to it is limited to police personnel only.
Looks like those guys were real pros. Maybe they even had a person inside police who placed that bag and helped them with info. Only way to catch em is to track money that they stole.

@Cloud,
It is true that an insurance pays the money back to the bank... so the ones "losing money" are the insurance, not the bank and not the customers...
And I say "losing money" because money in this era comes mostly from thin air, and stealing air is impossible.
They fuck us up anyways with their unfair interest rates and their loans, thats why I do not feel sorry for that robbery.
I do not agree with stealing in general but I do applaud their plan and performance... it was flawless and they thought almost about everything... lets hope they dont come up purchasing 10 yates and 5 huge houses and getting caught on that.
I hope to see someday, people working as hard as they did but for something productive and not as selfish as robbing a bank.
@ ArC_man
ask that to the banks... they steal more money than you will even imagine...
btw I was working in a bank so I have a *little* idea of what i am talking about.
- banks all over the world make millions of dollars a day on us... part of that money is not as clean as you might want to think.

The way they stole the money was absolutely awesome.

Yes, it's cool. That's why they make movies like Ocean's Eleven. Because it's cool. Deal with it.

So in other news; they got caught, or at least 6 people suspected of involvment were arrested a couple of days ago whether or not they are actually guilty remains to be seen.
Most (I think all) of the people arrested have a long history of violent crime behind them. Things like severe assault, extortion, violently forcing people to stay silent during trials etc. So this romantic (movie inspired no doubt) notion of a few gentlemen performing the perfect heist without ever hurting anyone is a very flawed one.
Also sources within the military claim that they saw the stolen helicopter take off and on extremely low altitude approach the target. He also claimed that they upon hearing about the robbery on the police radio redirected two jet fighters that were in standby position over the baltic sea to the site but they couldn't intervene since no formal request came from the police.
On the other hand some police guy claims that the police did ask for and also recieved some sort of help so I don't really know what to believe there.

Yeah ok whatever man, back to the subject. This is no linguistics course lol

Guys you are disinformed.
There are now 3 people remand in custody in Sweden now and Swedish police are in Serbia since the Serbian police department informed Swedish authorities about a upcoming robbery against a big cash depot one week before the actual rob.
The robbers are most likely Serbian Mafia located in Stockholm, Sweden. But also Swedes were part of the robbers. One of the men in custody is the pilot and the pilot was really skilled according to military experts since he landed on top off the roof and the heli blades were really close to trees and buildings etc etc.
Indeed the robbery was very well planned and the robbers definitely had military training. And since there were approx $148 million dollars in the cashdepot it must been several insiders incorporated too.
Since G4S (the company) wont tell how much money the robbers got away with, there are only speculations for now and they say the robbers got about $10 million.
The heli they used a Bell 206 Jet Ranger has it limit how much weight it can take. With fuel and 4 people in the heli the robbers couldn't take as much money they wanted.
A funny note is that there were several policepatrols just minutes after the alarm but they couldn't intervene since the robbers had heavy machineguns and only the Swedish task force synonymous with e.g SWAT were allowed to combat the robbers and they took longer to arrive. So the ordinary force could just watch when the chopper flew away. And as mentioned the Swedish police had no chopper since it was bugged with a dummy bomb... so they couldn't persue.
Actual video from eyewitness.
There are many more...
This is just a short summary and the info might change with new updates from media and other sources. There are news everyday about this robbery so no one really knows the whole picture...
Edit: Some other facts I forgot: According to the policeauthorities it were at least 10 people involved in this extensive coup.
The building had a very complex maze to make it difficult for robbers and thieves to find their way. But the robbers had access to the constructions drawings because they found the vault in no time according to the emploees.
The reason it was so much money in G4S depot this day was because it was the day before monthly salary for the Swedes and that depot supplied the whole Swedish capital Stockholm with cash. So the robbers also planned and probably knew it would be a HUGE amount of cash there that particular day.

I'm sorry StealthBlue but you are retarded for saying "props" to the thieves for getting away with stealing alot of money. Do you think it's cool or something? The way they went about it was awesome, so once again. Props. Sounds like you are too far away from reality. Sure everything is fun and awesome on the internet, but this is more than a cool news report that you found. I can see why you think it's "awesome" but it's basically acknowledging that you either think it was an okay thing to do, or that you are very immature. Which one is it?
The robbery was fucking awesome!
Thanks for the updates InDaHouse

Wow you don't hear about many heists that are real and executed so well...Scary when you think about it. Also VERY impressive although fucked up at the same time.

So this is the difference between the ghetto gangsta thievs that go in da bank with a shotgun, ask every nigga to get down and if anybody says anything i'ma shoot yo face bich so gimme da money put it in the bag, and we turn round and see them bunch of cops with choppes and automatic shit so we gives up.
And those who take years planning to the smallest detail on how to get in a bank, hey check this out, this lady comes out of the back door every two days at exactly 3:45:18pm we can use this window to put a hand in the closing door and we'll be right behind the safe where the air conducting fans are.

Performing a robbery armed with machine guns in a country where the police is at best armed with semi automatic pistols, yeah really impressive.
Not to mention that they got caught less than a week afterwards.

The police is taking some heat for this one and imo rightfully so. The roadblocks could easily have been passed on foot and they discovered the "bomb" at the helicopter station at 8:30ish am iirc, and they couldn't disarm it untill 2:30 PM - the robbers were in and out in like 20 30 minutes and were long gone before our police force even managed to mobilize. In their defense though something like this never ever happens here, we dont have any awesome fbi guys to deal with this or anything.
But the fact that when the police even entered the building, the robbers were long gone is imo a bit embarassing, not to mention that they seem to have 0 leads. and i think it was Serbian or Jugoslavian police has informed our "newspapers"(Aftonbladet is like FOX news in a way, take everything with a grain of salt) that they informed our police months before the robbery that this was in the making, and they are suspecting that it was indeed people from the balkan that did this.
Alot of screwups from our police force imo but on the other hand i can't really blame them, this is some Oceans 11 hollywood shit.

Swedish police couldn't pursue the thieves because a bag marked "bomb" had been placed outside the police heliport, and officers had to deal with the bag before they could enter the heliport.
It is unclear whether the bag contained a bomb.
The thieves also had blocked the roads around the cash depot with metal rods, TV4 reported.
I found this hilarious

They went through alot of work to rob that bank..I think they deserve the cash lol..
what a get-away vehicle too...stylin'

It was noticed there was robbery precedents in Sweden with similar "cinematic" scenario. At very first attempt some involved people was caught. It was found that all of them was retired swedish special forces vets, who participated in Jugoslavia operations. Okay, subsequent brilliant performance and strategy proved it's truth, some vets has nothing to do as retired and have decided to implement their skills. But I wonder there are so many retired special forces vets in peaceful Sweden so it's impossible to check them all, lol.

So a bunch of morons got away with screwing up a lot of people's savings, and most of you are like badass lol, as if they robbed the ppls savings. its an insurrance company that has to pay. and they pay what they have earned all the years nothing happened. first brain, then fingers, kthx. And that somehow makes it ok? Geez the UN sure as hell should introduce a depopulation program where all the jerks who high five criminals 'recalls' away. yes, that makes it ok. I'm all with you on depopulation, but who defines who is a criminal? I would wipe completely different ppl from this world than you, im pretty sure. (The Hutus in Rwanda f.e. declared the Tutsis as criminals and wiped them off of their country, would be relly cool if we could have something like this again, huh?) Great job on calling me an idiot, and then saying, besides that because the insurance company pays for the stolen money, there was no crime (what the fuck?), that there are worse kinds of criminals so we shouldnt be worrying about this (what the fuck too)
Hmmm, plz a little less confusing. I never said there was no crime.
Read -> Think -> Type !NOT! 1/2 Read -> Type -> Be the Idiot after.
I also never said that there are worse kinds of criminals so noone should worry about this. You should really update your typing. Instead of , you should use . so your shit would be easier to read.
