Scarface gang

This article is about the European criminal gang. For the gang of the American gangster Al Capone AKA Scarface, see Chicago Outfit.

The Scarface gang (Dutch: Scarface-bende) was a criminal gang possibly from Netherlands, consisting of two to six men and sometimes a woman, which was responsible for a series of violent armed robberies in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and France. The gang was named "the Scarface gang" because one of the members of the gang dressed like the character Tony Montana from the 1983 American film Scarface.

During a violent robbery at the cash handling company SecurCash in Rotterdam, the robbers used explosives to enter the building and shot and wounded two employees. After a robbery at Brink's in Amsterdam, the gang fled in two cars on the A2 and were chased by the police but managed to escape. One of their cars crashed and it was burned by the robbers, who then hijacked a vehicle from another driver on the road.
