Case 171: The Gladbeck Hostage Crisis (Patreon)

The gunmen made it clear that this was an armed robbery and demanded a large sum of money. Having been trained to handle this exact situation, the two clerks provided them with 120,000 German marks. The hold-up was going perfectly for the robbers. They had their money and the early hour made it likely that they’d escape quickly and without detection.
