Criminal Gang takes on International Security Company

Quote:

Dozens of attackers used explosives to blast their way into the vault of an armoured car company in a volatile Paraguayan border town, with the aim of escaping with nearly $US50 million in cash. The audacious raid sparked a gunfight which left a street littered with burning vehicles, three suspects dead, 10 more in custody, and the security company, Prosegur, counting its losses. Juan Cocci, Prosegur's president for Latin America, said the multi-stage attack began when gunmen with assault rifles attacked a police station in the contraband hub of Ciudad del Este at 2:00am on Monday, killing one officer and wounding four people. The gang also torched about 16 vehicles and set off grenades in three locations near the company's headquarters, before attacking the building and blasting into the vault, he said. Mr Cocci said about $US8 million ($11 million) was missing from the vault, which he said held $US49 million before the assault.

Impressive. Prosegur is not a small company.
