'Gigantic' diamond heist in Brussels

Help

Armed robbers have made off with a "gigantic" haul of diamonds after a daring raid at Brussels Airport.

They broke through a fence on Monday evening and stole gems worth tens of millions of euros as they were being loaded from a Brinks security van onto a plane bound for Switzerland.

Police are looking for eight men, a prosecutors' spokeswoman said.
