Some robbery suspects on Tuesday made away with nearly two million dollars in cash from the O.R. Tambo Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa in a daring heist.
Although details of the incident are still unclear, reports said a gang broke into an airplane and stole the cash.
Spokesman for the Priority Crimes Unit, The Hawks, said a high level probe has been launched, but won’t confirm some bits of information making the rounds just yet.
These include the allegation that a Police vehicle was used in the robbery.
In 2006, a similar heist involving a current value of about 7.6 million dollars was recorded.
After a trial which lasted for six years, it was discovered that the gang colluded with airport security operatives.
