Helicopter used in cash depot heist

Robbers used a helicopter to carry out a raid on a cash depot in Stockholm, Swedish police said today.

It was not immediately clear if the thieves managed to steal any money, but witnesses reported seeing people loading something into the aircraft during the heist.

Police spokeswoman Towe Hagg said the helicopter was seen landing on the roof of security firm G4S’s cash depot in south-western Stockholm in the early hours.

Mr Hagg said at least two men were seen smashing their way into the depot.

No injuries were reported and there have been no arrests.

Police later found a helicopter abandoned in northern Stockholm.
