'Ocean's Eleven' Heist



FNB Stadium
(Gauteng Province, South Africa)

Justin Bieber’s final show at Johannesburg’s FNB stadium in South Africa was used as a cover by a criminal gang to pull off an ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ style heist on Sunday.

While police were distracted marshaling the exit of the 95,000 strong audience that attended the teen star’s show, thieves made off with cash takings from the weekend just hours after it ended. Bon Jovi also played on Saturday to 70,000. Both concerts were sold out.

National outlets are today reporting that the FNB stadium is on lockdown as an official police investigation which includes forensic experts into the heist begins.

Reportedly, the suspects used ropes and chiseled away at double-reinforced walls for several days to access the safe room. Then, using ropes, the gang lowered themselves through the hole down a three meter drop.

The suspects managed to steal the cash inside without detection.

Reportedly, thieves were able to steal more than $300,000 in proceeds from the Bieber and Bon Jovi concerts.
