Armed gang rob financiers on yacht
Posted on 26/08/2008
A daring heist saw an armed gang target a luxury yacht off a Mediterranean island with German financiers on board robbed of a large cash sum, officials said today.
Masked gunmen stormed aboard the yacht off the French island of Corsica, overpowered crew and guests and made off with $138,000 ($236,000) from its safe.
It was the first time such a security breach has occurred in French waters, officials said.
