The robbery took place in Amsterdam North last May. The robbers fired into the air with automatic weapons.
Five arrests
The perpetrators then took off in three cars with a loot of 14.5 million euros. Two of these cars drove to Broek in Waterland, just above Amsterdam. In the end, the police were able to arrest five people in a meadow. A sixth robber was killed.

While the two cars fled in the direction of Broek van Waterland, a third getaway car drove, out of sight of the police, in the direction of Diemen. Tonight the police shared a reconstruction of the event with previously unseen footage.
Belgian license plate
In Diemen, the suspects switched to a BMW with a Belgian license plate. They left the car they had fled into ablaze.

Last November, the police in Belgium arrested a 20-year-old female suspect and a 44-year-old Parisian was arrested in France. The woman is not incarcerated, the man is.
4 million euros
The police have recovered most of the loot, but a part with a value of more than 4 million is still missing. It concerns barrels with platinum, gold grains and melted gold bars.
The violent robbery made a great impression on eyewitnesses. Reina Beets ducked into a closet when the robbers drove into her garden:
