Irish Bank Heist

(Belfast, Northern Ireland) The thieves dressed as policemen, took the wife of banker Kevin McMullan and the family of employee Chrissie Ward as hostages, and ultimately got away with $53 million. According to Det. Supt. Andy Sproule, the robbery was "carefully planned by professional criminals" and evidence indicates that more than 10 people were involved. Due to the complexity of the crime, a paramilitary organization, such as the Irish Republican Army or the Ulster Defense Association, is considered culpable.

Excuse me if I seem overly suspicious, but this caper sure smells like an inside job.
