The Italian Job - Swedish style
Smash and grab.
Three men were arrested Tuesday on suspicion of
involvement in an armed robbery and bomb scare in the Swedish
west- coast city Gothenburg earlier in the day. Police chief Krister Jacobsson
described the overnight heist of the city’s main post terminal as
“spectacular,” and said it caused major disruptions for commuters
and inhabitants…
Several cars were set ablaze on nearby access roads after the suspects fled. Several suspicious devices including a box marked “bomb” were also spotted.
The robbers also spread metal spikes at several locations, likely to prevent pursuing vehicles.
Police believed at least 10 people took part in the robbery and that five vehicles were set ablaze, said Klas Friberg, who is leading the investigation for the Gothenburg police….
At least the Swedish coppers didn’t find it necessary to reassure a supposedly trembling public that the thieves were not terrorists.
