9: The Altens Robbery

On December 3rd 1998, people in Altens, Aberdeen were making their way home from work in rush hour traffic. It was around 5pm and the roads were very busy with people trying to get home for the evening. Witnesses reported seeing two cars driving erratically down the road, weaving in and out of vehicles and seeing flashing blue lights on the dashboard. Members of the public alerted police to the cars and it was not long before it was discovered that a much bigger crime had occurred.
