US EditionTwenty Years On, Britain’s Biggest Cash Robbery Still Leaves Millions Missing
£32 million remains unrecovered from Britain's largest cash robbery despite multiple arrests and recovered stashes, with police continuing to seek new information.
- On 21 February 2006, Colin Dixon, Securitas depot manager, was kidnapped, and raiders stole 53m, leaving about 154m behind at the Tonbridge depot.
- Using prosthetics and fake police identities, the gang targeted the depot for its cash holdings, aided by Emir Hysenaj, the 'inside man', who covertly filmed inside.
- Fourteen Securitas depot staff were bound and held in cages at gunpoint while thieves used a forklift to load notes into cages, trolleys, and a 7.5-tonne white Renault truck, then one staff member escaped and called 999.
- Police recovered £9.7m in Welling and £8.6m in Southborough, while suspects were tracked to Morocco and arrested in Rabat, according to Kent Police and Operation Deliver.
- Confiscation orders remain partly unpaid, and convicted defendants still owe money, prompting Kent's chief constable to renew appeals yesterday.
