True crime · 27.05.1995
Three minutes in the Hansapank vault
At 9.37 a.m. on 27 May 1995 a young man in dark clothes, dressed like a cash courier, walked into the collection room, in effect the vault, of the Hansapank building on Liivalaia Street. At gunpoint he ordered the two cashiers to lie on the floor and bagged 2.29 million kroons. He was gone in three minutes, before guards and police arrived. It was the largest bank robbery Estonia had yet seen. He knew exactly where to go and how to open the doors, and he covered his face from the cameras at just the right moments. Even part of the underworld joined the hunt for the money. Neither the robber nor the cash was ever found.

27. mail 1995 kell 9.37 astus Liivalaia tänava Hansapanga majas inkassoruumi, sisuliselt panga varahoidlasse, tumedates riietes noor mees, kes nägi välja nagu rahavedaja. Relva ähvardusel käskis ta kahel kassapidajal põrandale heita ja pani kotti 2,29 miljonit krooni. Kolme minutiga oli ta läinud, enne kui turvamehed ja politsei kohale jõudsid. See oli seni Eesti suurim pangarööv. Mees teadis täpselt, kuhu minna ja kuidas uksi avada, ning kattis kaamerate eest nägu just õigetel hetkedel. Raha otsimisega tegeles isegi osa allilmast. Röövlit ega raha ei leitud kunagi.
