Getaway aircraft hovers for 15 minutes as thieves hoist millions of krona to rooftop and then run away Sweden has seen its fair share of daring cash robberies in recent years, from fake bombs used as decoys to the hold-up of luggage handlers at major airports.
But a spectacular raid by a Stockholm gang today has so far left police stumped.
The gang landed a helicopter on the roof of a cash depot before loading it with bags of money.
Just after 5am, the helicopter hovered over the roof of the G4S plc cash depot, in the Västberga area of the city, as men jumped out onto the building, smashed a window and entered a stairwell.
Staff on the early shift were working inside the depot at the time.
Once the gang were inside in the building, witnesses reported hearing load bangs, believed to have been caused by explosives.
The helicopter hovered for 15 minutes, waiting for the men to load the bags of stolen cash from the rooftop. Meanwhile, a police Swat team attempted to gain entry to the cash depot using a battering ram.
Stockholm police were unable to deploy their own helicopters because a bag containing suspected explosives had been left at their hangar. Small spiked objects had also been spread out on the road near the depot in an attempt to hinder the approach of police vehicles.
One witness who saw the rooftop operation told Swedish TV: "Two men hoisted themselves down. I saw when they hoisted up money, too."
Kjell Lindgren, a police spokesman, said: "I've never experienced anything like it." .
An abandoned helicopter was later found in a recreational area near a lake north of Stockholm, about 15 miles from the cash depot.
One witness living near the helicopter's landing site said he had been watching a news report of the robbery at 7:30am when he heard the sound of engines and looked out to see a red and white helicopter flying low over his house.
"I thought it can't have been the one [involved in the robbery]," he said. "But now I realise the helicopter I saw is the one that landed here in Skavloten."
The British-based G4S, one of the world's largest security companies, did not say how much money had been in the depot at the time of the raid or how much was stolen.
Its Stockholm depot stores cash before it is transported to banks and other businesses in Sweden. The company offered a reward for information about the robbery, but did not specify a sum. Man, i have to salute these guys  ---------------------------------------------- |

Isn't that easy enough to trace it back to the owner, its hardly a public means of movement
