Hours after the singer finished performing at Johannesburg's FNB
football stadium, a gang of criminals broke into the venue's secure cash
storage room and took the concert's takings.
The
gang are believed to have spent at least three days digging their way through
the stadium strong room's double thick walls.
They
struck when it was full of cash from merchandise and refreshment stalls that
operated both during Sunday evening's Justin Bieber concert and also a recent
performance by Bon Jovi.
A source told South Africa's Eyewitness
News radio news service that, having gained access to the strong room, the gang
used ropes to lower themselves through the hole and down a
three meter drop.
The news service reported that the
strong room remained littered with bricks and debris from the hole in the
ceiling and that ropes still hung from the ceiling.
The suspects managed to make off without
being detected.
The theft was only discovered on Monday
morning. It is not known how much money was taken.
Police are reportedly working on the
assumption that the heist was an inside job as the gang appear to have detailed
knowledge of the stadium's security arrangements.
All the same he had a wonderful concert .
