jewel thief

Two crowns and an orb, dating to the 17th century, were stolen from a cathedral in Sweden on Tuesday. The perpetrators of the heist were at large after fleeing the scene on bicycles and by boat.

The daring crime targeted Hatton Garden Safe Deposit company, which is used by many firms in London's jewelry quarter to store their wares.

Police say two armored trucks carrying jewels and other items worth some $9.5 million were seized by heavily armed attackers on the highway between Paris and Lyon.
