Gunmen Steal $5 Million in Euros From Warehouse
From Times Wire Reports
Armed men blasted their way into a Paris euro storage depot before dawn and escaped with millions after a shootout with police, a police spokesman said.
Fifteen men used explosives to blow a large hole in a wall to enter the warehouse near the historic Montmartre district.
They grabbed six bags of cash that police estimated contained one million euros each--about 5 million U.S. dollars. One policeman was wounded in an exchange of gunfire as the robbers made their getaway.
