Three people were tonight charged in connection with the multi-million pound Securitas depot raid, Kent Police said.

Car salesman John Fowler (aged 57) was charged with conspiracy to rob Securitas at Tonbridge, England and three charges of kidnapping Colin, Lynn and Craig Dixon.

A second man, Stuart Royle (aged 47) was charged with conspiracy to rob and Kim Shackelton, a 39-year-old woman, was charged with handling stolen goods.

The three are the first people to charged in connection with the £53 million heist, Britain’s biggest ever cash robbery.

The depot, in Tonbridge, Kent, was raided in the early hours of last Wednesday morning, a week ago today.
