    Happened in Marseille, France.
    The robbers filled a stolen bus with tires and set them on fire to use as smokescreen.
    As the armored truck passed through the smoke, the robbers used the moving van to block the patch of the armored truck and a small van to block the armored truck from reversing.

    Some guys jumped out of the van and attached some explosives to rear doors; blowing the back doors open.

    The AUDIs roll in, and they start to load up what they came for.
    They took SOME bags and put them into their stolen AUDIs.
    The armored truck was carrying about 6.5 million EUROS in the truck.
    Got away with 2.1 million EUROS (~2.6 millionUSD).

    Two days later the AUDIs were found burnt to a crisp a couple of towns away.

    No one tried to "make a move" on Waingro today.:mamoru:

    The armored truck driver and the two other security personnel riding in the back were injured, but will survive their wounds.

    It's pretty cool that they were able to pull it off without killing anyone.
    What are France's laws on high explosives? Whatever they are, they aren't working too well.

    The problem the France has with limiting access to materials like high explosives is it's long Mediterranean coast. There's just no way to know which of those pleasure boats water-skiing of the beach just came from Tunisia or Algeria loaded with explosives.
