The Västberga helicopter robbery occurred on 23 September 2009 at 05:15 CEST when a G4S cash service depot was robbed in Västberga, in Southern Stockholm, Sweden. The robbers used a stolen Bell 206 JetRanger as transportation and landed on the rooftop of the G4S building.
The police were unable to use their own helicopters to pursue the robbers since decoy bombs had been placed close to them. A Swedish krona 7 million (€659,190) reward was announced the following day for anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of the robbers or the return of the stolen goods. This was the first robbery involving a helicopter in Swedish history. The kr 39 million (€4 million) loot was never recovered.
