Stolen helicopter robs cash depot in Stockholm

At 05:20 this morning a stolen Bell 206 Jet Ranger was involved in a robbery a few kilometers southwest of downtown Stockholm. The helicopter landed on the roof of the G4S Cash Depot and inserted a gang of armed robbers that forced themselves through the ceiling of the building. 30 minutes later the helicopter picked up the robbers and flew off, leaving the police behind. The helicopter, which has been identified as SE-HON, was found in a forest north of Stockholm shortly after 08:00 in the morning, with no signs of the perpetrators.

It is, at this moment, not clear how much money that was stolen in the helicopter heist. The Swedish Police Wing's own helicopters were unable to take off due to two suspicious bags that had been placed outside the hangar at the regional police heliport in Värmdö/Myttinge.
