An armed gang disguised as police officers has stolen an estimated £40 million from a security depot in southern England after abducting a security manager and his family.
The raid at the Securitas premises on Vale Road in Tonbridge, Kent, was carried out by at least six men who tied up the 15 staff members on duty at the time.
The manager of the Securitas cash depot in Tonbridge was pulled over while driving yesterday evening by what he believed was an unmarked police car.
At the same time, the man's wife and young son were taken from their home after two men claiming to be police officers said he had been involved in an accident.
The Governor of the Bank of England has called for a review of security arrangements for the storage of banknotes following the raid.
