2004 Brașov armored car robbery: Difference between revisions

Petru drove toward Ghimbav for approximately 3,000–4,000 feet (0.9–1.2 km) before turning onto an industrial access road near Strada Făgărașului and Strada Bârsei. He entered an enclosed site where the dark blue Volkswagen Transporter T4 had been parked before the robbery. Petru, Iakob, and Emil moved the cash containers into the Volkswagen and left the maintenance truck behind with the road signs, barriers, cones, and work clothing still inside.

They left Ghimbav in the Transporter and travelled through [[Cristian]] and [[Vulcan]] to Petru's safehouse on the eastern side of [[Holbav]], near the former refractory-clay quarry. They reached the property during the late morning, concealed the Volkswagen, and carried the cash inside.

The three remained inside through the afternoon while police searched the roads around Ghimbav. That evening they counted the money and established that they had taken 40 billion old Romanian lei. They stayed at Holbav for two nights, with the Transporter kept out of sight at the property.
