Seven armed men entered the cargo area of Santiago Airport in Chile, and stole a cash shipment worth $15M. The cash shipment was from abroad, and was scheduled to be taken to banks in Chile. Police are now looking for them and suspect that the group had “inside information”, as BBC detailed:
They used two vehicles, one painted in the colours and with the logo of courier company DHL.
An airport security guard was injured after receiving a blow to the head.
One of the vans used in the robbery was later found abandoned and partially burnt. Police said it did not belong to the courier company DHL but had been painted to look like it did.
