A gang in Paris stole €600,000 from supermarkets using a vacuum cleaner
Between 2006 and 2010 two thieves found a flaw in how French Monoprix stores moved cash
Registers sent money through pneumatic tubes to a locked safe room
The safe was impossible to break into but the tubes weren't
After hours one of them would drill a small hole near the safe, attach an industrial vacuum cleaner and literally suck the cash out
Never opened the safe once
15 stores across Paris over 4 years
Total take: roughly €600,000
CCTV caught them during the final robbery but neither ever removed their ski masks on camera
After media started covering the story the vacuum gang just stopped
No arrests
No identities
No leads
To this day nobody knows who they are
