Robbers use chopper to raid Sweden cash depot

STOCKHOLM – Robbers used a stolen helicopter and explosives to engineer a spectacular raid on a cash depot in Stockholm on Wednesday, 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. The company did not give an exact amount for the reward.

There's been quite a few elaborate robberies that would fit well in a movie over there, in the north lands, over the last couple of years. I'm not saying that those countries are free of crime, but stories like these make it seem like the caper movie that never ends.
