The German authorities now have four suspects in connection with the EPT Berlin Robbery.  Some of the suspects handed themselves in.

The story broke like someone breaking wind in an elevator.  The news spread fast through conventional and new media forums like twitter.  Four men have tried to make off with the prize money at the Berlin EPT.  They came armed with knives, guns and grenades and although they didn't get away with the full amount they did get away with just over $300,000.  The German authorities have not been too worried about catching these crooks and saw it as a matter of 'when' rather than 'if'.

On Monday a 21 year old German man handed himself into the police.  He then went on to name his accomplices.  A German and a Turk and a man who's nationality is not clear at the time of publishing.  The second arrest was made on Wednesday and the last two gave themselves up late last night.  What is in store for these young men now is not clear.  They managed to gather together some real fire power for this heist.  We will report more on the case as it develop.

To see the EPT Robbery again we have added the video from the security tapes.
