Yeah it's sick, and the robbers had planned it really well, they lit fire on 5-10 cars on the motorway and also threw punkture nails after them during the escape. It is unclear how much the 4 robbers (who were heavly armed) got, but in other big value transport robberies 40-50 million kr have been stolen (about 6-7 millon US dollars).

What's a value transport? A bus? Or one of those armoured car dealies?

You mean this stuff happens in real life??

Well, that's not very sophisticated, it's outside of a Shell station/McDonald's.

I was expecting an ATM in an uncrowded midtown street or something...oh well, the end justifies the means. 8)

here in Belgium, it also happens...but the robbers never get anything...the money is transported in a 'smartcase'. When you try to open it, it explodes or it paints the money with ink. Most of the times they block the transport and shoot at the driver, but he's behind bullet proof glass...

So nowadays transports sometimes have police escorts (two Mercedes G wagons of the federal police)...really suicide missions! They drive like crazy...

I don't get it... Value transport, is that like, trucks carrying shitloads of money or carrying something more valuable.

In Victoria there's been many (fatal)shootings of the guards when they've been unloading the trucks and taking the cash into banks...

Good point!!

Quality seems too good to be a security camera, it's more like a digitally zoomed in picture...
