'Ocean's Eleven' gang steals cash, gold from German bank over Christmas

17 Sept 03:38 Key points summarised by AI

Robbers executed a "professionally executed" heist at a German Sparkasse bank during the Christmas holidays, using a large drill to access the vault from a parking garage.
The audacious theft targeted over 3,000 safe deposit boxes, yielding an estimated 30 million euros ($35 million) in cash, gold, and jewellery.
Investigators believe the masked perpetrators spent several days inside the bank, with security footage showing them fleeing in a black Audi RS 6 with a stolen license plate.
The incident left hundreds of customers distressed and prompted police to liken the elaborate operation to the movie "Ocean's Eleven" due to its sophisticated planning.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
