The other helicopter bank robbery story

  Speaking of helicopters involved with bank robberies... in 1966 two bank robbers fled in the woods after robbing a Royal Bank in Galeries d'Anjou. Cops borrowed a helicopter from CFCF in an attempt to catch them fleeing.
   The four robbers had fled in a taxi and a running gun battle ensued in which a cop was injured. One of the thieves was injured and captured but the other three fled until they noticed the helicopter above them with a machine gun trained right on 'em. I guess the fact that it was winter made their flight into the woods a little more difficult. Click here to read about it.
