Not since NOKAS -robbery , the Nordic countries has not experienced such an escape from the police. A helicopter was used to rob a cash storage south of Stockholm, Sweden, this morning. In gangster-like style the robbers also used explosives to penetrate into the storage.
Here you can watch the escape from the storage in helicopter.
Update:
The Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang was chased from the crime scene when the police feared the helicopter would blow up.
The police says they were seconds from catching the robbers.
"It is strange that the police did not see the robbery", says one witness.
Maybe the robbers are earlier military employees or sportsmen? Up to one billion - 1 000 000 000 Swedish crowner, SEK, could have been stolen from this cash storage. Police also promise great reward for information that helps catching the suspisious.
VG reports that the police are shooting against a bin close to the police helicopter.Sphere: Related Content

A little correction: The cash storage is in south of Stockholm. (I work in the house beside.)
SvarSlettI corrected that
SvarSlettYou say not since the Nokas-robbery the nordic countries has experienced such an escape. The only "spectacular" thing with nokas was the unfortunate killing of a policeofficer.
SvarSlettIn Sweden, robberies of these magnitude, happen all the time. This is just one in a long line of spectacular robberies in Sweden the last few years, especially in the Stockholm region. They burn cars on the freeway to stop traffic, place out bombs to hinder the police etc etc. Sweden has most armored car robberies per capita in all of europe.
You get the feeling its the same gang who is behind most of them. As you know there were swedes involved in nokas, and the big robbery in denmark last year was also made by swedes with a liking for spectacular robberies. Wouldnt surprise me if a small interconnected group of people are involved in most of these as they have lots of similarities.
