That's a bit of a let-down, I was sure it would turn out to be Lisbeth Salander flying the heli.

Helicopter commando assault on bank in Sweden

Swedish commando style helicopter raid trial - Yahoo! News UK


Ten men accused of stealing around £3.5 million in a commando-style raid on a Swedish cash depot have pleaded innocent as prosecutors opened their trial with spectacular surveillance video of the brazen helicopter heist.
The footage of the September 23, 2009 robbery showed three black-clad bandits leaping from the chopper and breaking into the G4S cash facility in Stockholm from the roof.
They used explosives, ladders and a power cutter to access the cash as panicked employees, all unarmed, fled the building.
Police have not recovered the cash and say several suspects are still at large.
Five of those on trial were charged with aggravated robbery and five with complicity, in one of the largest police investigations in Swedish history.
If found guilty, they could face prison terms of up to 10 years.

Sorry to bring this back from the edge - but how did the story end?

Cheers, Sam.

They caught all group, about 8-10 people, in a next six months (something like that) and a few more in a next two years. They are sentenced at something about 8 years (average) of prison in Sweden. Money never found

White B206 Jet ranger III was returned to company (with no damage, good pilot) and still fly every day

"Money never found"

I was reading in the Swedish newspapers only yesterday that the authorities are planning to issue new 1000 kronor notes shortly, (something like 40% of those issued are no longer in circulation, due to them disappearing into the black economy, or possibly ending up in some old dear's mattress). So when these chaps get out there's a good chance their haul will be useless. I'd love to see the look on their faces..
