The 27-year-old man and his accomplice used the
bottles to relieve themselves after sneaking into the vault on a Friday in May
and remaining there until the bank opened again the following Monday.
While inside, the robbers emptied 140 safety deposit boxes
of at least $500,000 in cash and jewelry. But Prosecutor Frederik Larsen said
Wednesday they forgot to take the urine when they left “so we were able to get
their DNA samples from the bottles.”
The evidence helped prosecutors win a 21-month prison
sentence for the Swede on Tuesday. His accomplice is still at large and the
loot hasn’t been recovered.
