Thieves use mini-drone to open bank door

 DroneDJ reports that thieves in Reims, France used a DJI mini-drone to open a door to an ATM lobby that couldn't otherwise be opened from outside.

What was strange about the crime was that the police found no trace of a break-in; neither the safe nor the entrance door of the premises showed any signs of vandalism.

When the CCTV footage of the ATM was reviewed, a mini drone was immediately detected. The video showed a skillfully piloted aircraft being used to trigger a push button that would open the door of a technical room next to the ATM.

The criminals got away with 150,000 Euros.

Interview with a getaway driver

 The Drive has an interview with former jewelry store robber and driver Larry Lawton (who seems to have a YouTube channel).  Lawton explains how to choose an appropriate getaway car.

All were simply rented from a company like Hertz under somebody else's name with Lawton listed as the co-driver. They were picked up as normal and simply returned when the job was done. Lawton and his accomplices would pay for the car, case the store they planned to rob, and then use it in the actual robbery.
