A methodically deliberate hold-up of a money transporter that netted an armed gang thousands and thousands of euros being ferried to Germany’s central financial institution has police scratching their heads, 4 days after the heist.
“It stays unclear the place the gang acquired their autos and the way they got here to know of this money transport,” a police spokeswoman in Neubrandenburg to the north of Berlin stated.
The gang lay in look ahead to the transporter on Thursday because it handed close to the village of Gutzkow on its approach from Greifswald on the Baltic Beach to Neubrandenburg, organising a faux motorway development website to carry it up.
Automobiles and concrete blocks have been used to halt the transporter.
Warning photographs have been then fired from machine pistols by two of the gang and black paint was sprayed on the windshield.
The gang then broke into the again of the money transporter, leaving the 2 safety guards unhurt inside.
Nobody was injured within the theft.
The gang then set hearth to an off-road car they’d used, abandoning it on the scene.
Additionally they set hearth to the money transporter.
After making their escape in one other car, they deserted it a number of kilometres away in woodland close to Mussentin, setting it alight, earlier than fleeing in yet one more car.
“The fires and alterations made to the autos are making identification troublesome,” the police spokeswoman stated.
Police are searching for two masked gang members and one or two assistants, with the search being widened to soak up the complete nation.
