‘Military precision’ used in £50m depot heist

THE £50-million (€73.5m) heist from a security depot in Kent was carried out with “military precision” by professional robbers operating at the “top level” of organised crime, a senior police officer has said.

One of the largest rewards in British criminal history was offered to help catch the “organised gangsters” responsible for Britain’s biggest ever robbery.

A 100-strong team is engaged in the hunt for the gang of at least six armed robbers who stole up to £50m from a Securitas depot in Tonbridge, Kent.
