Is it difficult to get workers’ attention during March Madness, or maybe during fantasy football season? That’s nothing compared to this story from Sarajevo.
Robbers surprised security guards at a post office in the Bosnian city and stole hundreds of thousands of Euros, worth about $1.1 million.
The guards were easily surprised, according to local media reports, because they were watching the Euro 2008 soccer final.
The guards were beaten up by ten men wearing police uniforms. Post office guards were watching the Spain-Germany final on TV when the well-organized group surprised them and stole the money.
The getaway van was found later, burned in a Sarajevo suburb.
