South African Police have issued a statement saying that millions of rands have been stolen at the FNB Stadium not long after the Justin Bieber concert, the suspects made off with the money undetected after what appears to be a carefully planned heist.
"It is alleged that [a stadium employee] had locked money in the walk-in safe following the Justin Bieber concert and left for home last night at about 23:00," Lieutenant Colonel Katlego Mogale said.
On Monday morning, when she reported for duty, she discovered several doors leading to the main safe had been tampered with. Mogale said the robbers gained entrance through a bathroom roof. Eyewitness News reports that the robbers lowered themselves through a hole down a 3m drop.
According to the report, the suspects chiseled away at the safe room's double-thick walls for several days, officials believe. The Soweto stadium was on lockdown as police and other experts combed the area for clues.
The organizers, Big concerts are not commenting – at this stage – in light of the ongoing investigation and in the interest of the safety and security of our staff,” said publicist Deon Mudie.
According to Guateng police the “millions” stolen from the FNB stadium were collections from two sold out concerts this weekend, adding that the break-in was noticed this morning. The stadium had played host to rock legends Bon Jovi and teen heart throb Justin Bieber this weekend.
The suspect/s are said to have gained entrance through the bathroom roof leading to the safe wall and forced it open. The suspects then used rope to gain entry from the roof to the safe, removed millions of rands in cash.
It is not clear what the large sum of cash was from, however it is understood that it may have been takings from the concession stands over two nights.
