Theft of the year in Romania: 400 tons of copper stolen in broad daylight

A group of people found a unique way to steal 400 tons of copper worth more than EUR 3 million from the courtyard of a private company in Arad, a city in Western Romania, in broad daylight, according to Romania-Insider.com.

They ordered the huge quantity of copper by email, allegedly acting on behalf of a company, local Stirileprotv.ro reported. After the order was approved, they said they would send trucks to pick up the cargo, thus making sure that the vehicles would not be stopped at the gate, as they had fake documents.

Several trucks were allegedly needed to take and transport the 400 tons of copper. The employees of the company in Arad realized that is was a scam only after a few hours.
