In a meticulously planned raid which lasted under five minutes, barely longer than it takes to make a cup of coffee, eight conspirators brazenly stormed Brussels Airport, leaving with an estimated £32000,000 prize. The two black cars, complete with blue police-esque lights, which pulled up by the security fence yielded eight masked gunmen masquerading as policemen, who pulled the daring stunt of making a hole in the fence, before snatching the gems from a Zurich bound plane, without firing a shot. The robbery is one of the most audacious and largest in history. Police in Belgium continue to search for information, after one burnt-out vehicle was found close to the airport later last night.
