Swedish police faced stinging criticism yesterday for failing to stop helicopter-borne gunmen from pulling off a Hollywood-style heist against a cash depot while blocking an air pursuit with a fake bomb.
Investigators had made no arrests up to yesterday afternoon, a day after the predawn raid on the G4S cash facility, where millions are stored and processed before being transferred to banks and ATMs in the Stockholm area.Two men detained for questioning Wednesday were no longer suspects in the robbery, police spokesman Ulf Goranzon said.
