Bieber Concert Heist of 2013

In a daring heist following Justin Bieber's concert at Johannesburg's FNB Stadium in May 2013, thieves pulled off a cinematic-style robbery. The criminals, believed to have obtained fake security certificates, infiltrated the stadium's backstage areas, outsmarting the security protocols. They meticulously chiseled through two feet of reinforced concrete to access the vault room, despite hundreds of security guards, multiple cameras, and thousands of potential witnesses within the stadium.

Using ropes to lower themselves through the hole they created, the thieves made off with nearly half a million dollars in cash earnings from the weekend's events. Stadium officials admitted that their employee screening process was relatively lax, making it easier for the criminals to execute their plan. The heist was so well executed that it is suspected to have been in the works for several days before the robbery.
