Crazy shit, seems everybody with a gun is trying to steal stuff from Heathrow airport.

Well, that IS a tempting target I suppose. I can't quite say that I don't admire their ambition :winkwink:

yeah, I think in the past 2 years there have been about 5 robberies at Heathrow airport, all a few million... nothing as big as this now

btw the "flying squad" are the police that deal with gun related crime

they watched Italian Job one too many times =)

now they can watch it on laserdisc for 20 years eheh

well thats kinda exciting

the attempted robbery on the Dome a few years back was fairly impressive too just because of the james bond nature of it.

lol
still these guys are just armed thugs...

the guys who attempted to steal a £500 million diamond from the millenium done were much more creative, they used a bull dozer to crash through the security barriers and had a speed boat waiting on the Thames to escape

unfortunately for them, there were about 80 cops in plain clothes waiting for them

didn't see your post there Sarah, exactly what i was conveying

Wow, that would have been some paydaY:2 cents: :glugglug

That's some fat cash.

They will have a lot of time to think about their mistake! :Graucho

heathrow needs a lot more security, when i have been there - its been way too open for anyone to get into restricted access areas
