Police Arrest 31 People Connected to $50 Million Belgian Diamond
Heist  Police arrested 31 people connected to the "highly
professional" diamond heist at the Brussels Airport three months
ago that resulted in $50 million of stolen loot. Police say they
seized stolen diamonds, luxury cars, and large sums of money
from the 31 arrested.  The robbery at the Brussels-Zaventem
international airport on February 18th was one of the biggest
diamond heists in history. It was a nearly perfect crime; the
heist was completed within three minutes, using two cars,
hurting no one, and resulting in $50 million worth of uncut,
unregistered diamonds.  This precision hold-up was thought to
have been completed with a gang of eight. The group wore masks,
hooded police anoraks, and carried machine guns with laser
lighting. They arrived through an unlocked access gate and drove
through a relatively unguarded airport construction site. At
7:47 P.M. local time, they stalked a Brink's diamond truck as it
finished unloading onto Helveti
