Toyota HiAce
On Wednesday November 2, 1988 at 22:00, the gang members Torkil Lauesen, Jan Weimann, Niels Jørgensen, Carsten Nielsen, and Marc Rudin met at the hideout in Blekingegade and put the plan in motion. At night, postal trains picked up the day's mail (most post offices are conveniently at the train stations) and dropped them off at the destination post offices. The gang stole four or five cars and parked them at strategic locations. An orange Toyota HiAce van was parked in Løvstræde across from the back gate of the post office.
