Daring thieves steal Swedish royal jewels and escape on a speedboat




In a rather Bond-esque heist, a gang of daring thieves stole a set of Swedish royal jewels and made good their escape on a getaway speedboat.

The thieves took two royal crowns, one belonging to King Karl IX and the other to Queen Kristina, plus a royal orb from the Cathedral of Strangnas, sited about 80 miles from Stockholm. The jewels are believed to be over 400 years old.

Authorities are now trying to locate the speedboat used during the raid.
