Amazing story of a daring and apparently well planned robbery in Sweden. The robbers laid out spikes on various routes police might use, set several cars on fire in the area and planted at least 5 fake bombs in nearby.

Large parts of Sweden’s second city were thrown into chaos on Tuesday when armed robbers who raided its main post office set fire to cars, scattered spikes on roads and left dummy bombs to cover their escape.

Police said in a statement no post office staff were injured, but soon after the robbers fled the scene at least five suspected bombs were found around Gothenburg, three of them outside the main police station.

All were later established to be dummies.

The robbers also set fire to several cars and spread spikes on the roads to puncture the tires of would-be pursuers.
