In this episode of The Heist, we dive into the incredible true story of the 2009 Västberga Helicopter Heist in Stockholm, Sweden—one of the most daring and meticulously planned robberies in modern history. From months of surveillance and military-style planning to the theft of a Bell 206 JetRanger helicopter, fake bombs planted to ground police aircraft, and a dramatic rooftop landing atop a high-security G4S cash depot, this was a robbery unlike anything the world had ever seen.
Join us as we uncover the masterminds behind the operation, explore how they outsmarted Swedish law enforcement, and follow the investigation that led to the arrests of those responsible. We'll also examine what happened to the millions in stolen cash—and why most of it has never been recovered.
