Most daring bank robbery

I think it's only in the movies is that the robbers burst into the bank and with a smile on his face kidnap millions of dollars. But the reality is: the banking sector is still vulnerable to fraudsters. And while there are banks, there will always be willing to rob them. Sap seems to sap were relevant at all times. Back in 1971 at Baker Street (London) committed one of the most notorious crimes of the XX century: the robbers, hiring leather goods next to the bank for a few weekends have dug a 15-meter tunnel. Attackers have worked at night, and when finished with undermining, opened the safe with explosives! As a result, they were able to draw from a bank branch, "Lloyd's" just 1.5 million pounds in cash and jewelry in the same amount. A few years later (in 1976) is another perk prestuplanie was committed bandit Alberto Spadzhiari. When he learned that an underground storage bank branch «Societe Generale» Nice is located right next to the sewage pit, he gathered a team of associates from the veterans of the Algerian war and the SLA militia. Attackers managed to dig the 8-meter long tunnel in the basement of the bank and into the depository. Moreover, the robbers did not hurry to get away with murder. In the store they had spent four whole days, made me a little party during the nationwide festivities. After they left the bank "lost" once the $ 9.8 million, and purchased on the wall of an interesting inscription: "Without hatred, without violence, without weapons." Another unusual incident occurred recently. In 2005, the small town of Fortaleza, which is located in Brazil, attackers dug a tunnel about 80 meters long! What is that, for convenience, they are even equipped with its ventilation system and lighting! Due to their tricks they have learned from the bank as much $ 69 million, by weight, or about 3.5 tons. Abductions Life is like a cinematic scenarios. Need the money, then we must take as hostage the bankers believe the robbers. In 2004, on Christmas Eve three unknown men took hostage an employee of the bank «Northern Bank» Belfast (Northern Ireland) and his family, and after their interrogation, and the director together with his family. The latter was forced to open a malicious depositary, as a result of criminals carried out a $ 50 million, a similar thing happened in 2006, when dressed in police uniforms attackers stopped the car manager Depository Center Bank «Bank of England» in Kent. Prior to that, they same way they took hostage his wife and 8-year-old son. After questioning the family into the hands of fraudsters were several other bank employees. The next day was a whole team of bank employees helped the robbers to open the depository. Total attackers then taken out $ 92.5 million Other tricks Another thief was lucky a lot more. They did not have any digging tunnels, or take someone hostage. 12 July 1987 they entered the bank depozitray «Knightsbridge» pretext of checking their cells. Quickly dealt with security, criminals are hung a sign "Depositary temporarily closed" and calmly opened the cell customers. At the rate in 2006 is assumed that they earned for one day a staggering amount, just $ 174 million! However, this is only a few cases, according to bank analysts, in fact, robbers earn far less on the robberies. Thus, long-term statistics show that the average size of production is $ 2.5 thousand, while the average worldwide plundered about 20 banks in the day. Moreover, most such crimes occur in the United States. Just last year there were 6,700 robberies committed, most of them occurred on Friday between 9 and 11 o'clock in the morning. But the EU leader in the robbery was not the first year is Italy. In 2009, in this sunny country has seen as much theft in 1744 that more than half of all robberies committed in the territory of Europe.
