It's Northern Ireland, what do you expect? I'm surprised they didn't leave a bomb behind to destroy any evidence.

It was in Belfast, Northern Ireland and 22 million was stolen not 40 million like The Sun seems to think.
You might want to use the BBC for reliable information as opposed to The Sun, just a little tip.:D

The guys who pulled this off have my respect. Being able to nick 22 million quid and get away with it is classy!
I wonder if they'll ever be found and how long it will take for this to be made into a movie.
Reminds me of the great train robbery a bit.

Ronnie Biggs only got away with £6m. He's an amatuer compared to them Oirish fellas. If they ever get caught they'd be instant celebrities, you know.
