Robbers get away with £1m after hijacking lorry

Robbers who hijacked a lorry and handcuffed its driver made off with a haul worth £1m (€1.47m), British police said today.

The gang forced the driver of an 18-tonne lorry to stop in Colnbrook, Slough, last Friday, then bundled him into the back and helped themselves to almost 2,000 digital camcorders, police said.
