Interesting idea

Ok, you all know I'm studying law and with this field of study a little fascination for "well-done" crimes comes along. Don't get me wrong, it's WRONG!! and I'm sure the authorities will find them soon...but it's well-done, you have to admit it! That's what was at the CNN site (and on german TV):

Helicopter used in Swedish cash depot raid

(CNN) -- A helicopter and explosives were used in an early morning raid on a cash depot in Stockholm, Sweden, 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.

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 was still 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 in a statement.

The area around the building was sealed off as authorities interviewed witnesses, police said.

You have to admit it is an intesting idea.
