Largest EVER Bank Heist in England
Reply
Posted 2006-02-27, 11:28 AM
I don't know if any of you have heard of this yet.

Quote:
It began Tuesday night when a manager of the bank was pulled over by two members of the gang who were posing as police officers. The men asked him to leave the car, then kidnapped him at gunpoint. At the same time, halfway across town, the manager’s wife and kid were visited by two other members of the gang, again posing as the police. They told the woman her husband had been in an accident. She willingly and unwittingly drove off with them. They met up at a third location where the manager was shown his family and threatened at gunpoint. He was told to cooperate or they would die.

At 1 A.M. on Wednesday morning, the gang drove the manager to the cash depot, followed by a white truck. He let them in and they overpowered and tied up the fourteen employees that were keeping watch. For the next hour, they proceeded to load the truck with millions of dollars worth of banknotes. They then drove off and haven’t been seen since. No one was injured.

A few of the robbers have been arrested - one woman for trying to cash in a large amount of cash, still wrapped in the Securitas bags! The Police have offered a reward of £2.1million ($3.8million) for any information leading to the arrest of the robbers.

And the amount stolen from Securitas Cash Management Ltd.?

Just wait till you read this figure.














Keep scrolling.

























It's more than £1million.






























More than £10million.


































A lot more than £25million.


















































Over the original estimate of £40million.


















































In fact, it was...


































£53million! That's nearly $100million!!

Part of you wants them to get away with it.

Police think that the robbers have already left the country - the Cash Depot was something like 10km or 20km away from the Channel Tunnel.


EDIT: More than 5 people have been arrested now, and some money found.

Good luck working to earn it. That'd take you a few lifetimes.

The money they've recovered is something in the region of £3.5million.

That's nearly £50million still out there. Bet you the other robbers get caught trying to cash it.
