With cinematic flourish, the masked robbers dropped from a helicopter onto the roof of a Swedish cash depot before dawn, broke into the building through a glass pyramid, set off explosions to get to the millions inside and escaped by hoisting themselves and their haul back up on rope lines.
All in 20 minutes, and all while Stockholm police were grounded by a fake bomb planted outside their own helicopter hangar.
Police had tried to stop the robbers - but were foiled before the drama even started.
The crooks had left spikes on the roads near the bank to puncture cops' tires and planted explosives at the police heliport to prevent them from taking off.
An abandoned helicopter was discovered hours after the robbery in a park 15 miles from the bank.
Cops say the chopper, a Bell 206 Jet Ranger, was stolen the night before the heist.
I loves me a good bank robbery that doesn't involve pointing guns at tellers.
