In a brazen heist right out of the movies, thieves drove onto Belgium's airport tarmac and stole more than $50 million of diamonds from a plane without firing a single shot.

It took them fewer than five minutes to cut through an airport fence Monday night, drive up to a Helvetic jet in cars with flashing lights, hold up the pilot and security officials on the plane, and take 120 packages of rough and cut stones, according to the Belgium prosecutor's office. The men carried submachine guns, were dressed in police uniforms and camouflage masks......

that's what I was thinking. It only took them 5 min. in & out! They probably had an inside guy giving them the information.

When I was reading about this it sounded like a heist from a movie, very rarely to crooks get away that fast, with that much money, without hurting anyone or anything. All they found was a burnt out get away car a few miles away from the airport... obviously very well thought out...and yes, I too agree there must have be an insider to know all the details.
