The Highway Heist: How SWAT operators robbed an armored van
A Bosnian court jailed four members of a special Bosnian Serb police unit for robbing a bank van of 617,000 KM ($350,000) using automatic rifles and an anti-tank missile launcher.
The heist occurred in September 2015 when heavily-armed robbers held up the vehicle belonging to the Bosnian branch of Italian bank Unicredit on a highway in near Banja Luka.
The footage shows the security camera installed inside the armored van. On the highway, Audi A6 cut the path of the van and three masked robbers exited the vehicle. As it can be seen on the video, they are moving tactically and that was the first clue for the investigators. They forced security to unlock the van with a hand-held anti-tank rocket launcher. At one moment, one of the robbers starts shooting to the windshield from AK-47 assault rifles. One security guard was wounded.
