Concert Crime: Three robbers with guns and a fake hand grenade stole $260,000 in proceeds Sunday after a concert by New Kids on the Block, Montreal police said. A police spokesman said the robbers entered a room in Olympic Stadium where 12 employees were counting money from souvenir sales. They handcuffed the employees, placed the fake hand grenade near a door, then told them it would explode if they tried to open the door. The teen pop sensation drew a crowd of 57,000 to the stadium.
