7million Euros stolen from Irish bank

[Immenseman]

I wouldn't mind some of the money :D


Police in the Irish Republic are hunting an armed gang which has carried out the country's biggest ever robbery. The gang forced a bank official to withdraw an estimated 7m euros (£6.2m) from the Bank of Ireland branch where he works at College Green in Dublin.
They forced their way into his home in County Kildare on Thursday night and took his partner, her mother and a five-year-old boy hostage.
The man's partner was beaten and the family taken away.
The official, who is in his 20s, was then forced to drive his car to the city centre bank.
After withdrawing the money, he handed it over to the gang at Clontarf DART station.
His girlfriend's family was then released in the Ashbourne area of County Meath at around 0700 GMT on Friday.
In 2004, a gang forced two employees of the Northern Bank to help it steal £26m from the bank's central Belfast vault.
The Irish Justice minister, Dermot Ahern, said there was an onus on the banks to improve their procedures and security.

drooling over it :P

[Jonster]

Besides, most evidence will be of the person who worked there at the bank, so tracing back will prove difficult. If they were smart they would spend little amounts, not so frequently. But as someone else stated previously, they will eventually get caught...their time will come.

Any of you guys heard of Stein Bagger? He ran away with 200 million $ recently.. He turned himself in though.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stein_Bagger

[Kipp]

Wow, they stole all that money without police knowing.

[Immenseman]

Well not really because the police do know :P they did it without police catching them.... yet :P

[no waiii]

they found most of it i think

[Absently]

Like, it's stupid stealing a bank because you can't really just spend alot of money, 'cos like people just don't come into money, even down the line, you'd never be able to really use it.. unless you get alot of money down the line i suppose..

[Oleh]

or they could just buy like watches for £100 each, sell them on ebay :) simple, make some good honest cash
