$48 Million Dollar Bank Heist

Record $48M robbed from N. Ireland bank

A gang cleared the vaults of a Belfast bank headquarters of about $48 million Cdn. after taking bank executives and their families hostage -- the biggest robbery heist in the history of Northern Ireland. Authorities said the gang made off with the money from the Northern Bank Belfast headquarters after taking at least two senior executives' families hostage in their homes on Sunday. They forced the employees to help them access the safe Monday after the offices closed for the night.
