14 men found guilty in Denmark's biggest heist

COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- A Danish court has convicted 14 men in the Scandinavian country's biggest robbery, saying they stole 62 million kroner (US$11 million) from a cash depot in suburban Copenhagen in 2008.

The Glostrup city court on Tuesday found the men guilty on all charges, including robbery, arson and possession of firearms. It was not immediately clear whether the suspects, who are Swedish, Danish and French citizens, would appeal the verdict.

The men could face up to 15 years in prison each.

On Aug. 10, 2008, masked robbers wielding submachine guns crashed into the cash depot in Glostrup. They set 10 trucks on fire and spread metal spikes on nearby roads to avoid pursuit. No one was injured.

Only a small part of the stolen money was recovered.
