These getaway vans were used by Gwendoline's heist crew during their series of heists across Europe. They used a different van for each of the three heists, all outfitted with similar heist equipment, including a top of the line computer and a small collection of disguises. The van used during the Rheingold heist was a Volkswagen Crafter, the one used for the Valkyrie heist was an Iveco Daily, and the one used during the Siegfried heist was Volkswagen Transit. Each was outfitted with a custom computer setup for Korina Dominguez. The vans were used heavily during the events of Army of Thieves.

History

Rolph driving the first van

The first van was used for the Rheingold heist. The heist was fairly simple, as the Rheingold was kept in a relatively low-security credit union in Paris, so the team went over the plan briefly in the van before Sebastian Schlencht-Wöhnert and Gwendoline Starr headed inside. Korina Dominguez left the van shortly after to create a minor distraction, and when the Rheingold was cracked, Brad Cage went in to create a second minor distraction. Rolph remained in the van the entire time, and when everyone returned, he drove them back to their hideout.

Arriving at NPIB Prague in the second van

The second van was set up for the Valkyrie heist. NPIB Prague, where the Valkyrie resided, was a much more secure target. Sebastian and Gwen were the first to enter again, while Korina guided them through the electronic security measures from her computer in the van. When security became suspicious of Sebastian, Brad Cage went in to grab their attention. Korina and Rolph stayed in the van, Rolph again acting as the getaway driver. After Brad's chaos, he and the others ran back to the van, and Rolph started it up. Brad helped Gwen into the moving van, and Sebastian tried to follow, but Brad threw him out into the street. The crew, minus Sebastian, continued out of town. Gwen, furious with Brad's unceremonious ejection of Sebastian, left the crew, followed almost immediately by Korina. Rolph and Brad drove on.

The final heist van was the only one not driven by Rolph. Sebastian drove it while scouting the St. Moritz Bly for the Siegfried heist, then Korina took it over for her role. She played back prerecorded radio chatter to disorient Interpol from the back of the van while Gwen and Sebastian went on ahead with the safe. When Korina was caught by Interpol, she left the van behind.
