N5. Securitas Depot: The “Cash Cage” Hostages (2006) – $92.5 million
This robbery remained one of the largest cash robberies in British history and was executed in Kent, England and lasted several hours.
It began when a number of men abducted and threatened the family of the bank’s manager, and tied up 14 employees. And forced the bank’s manager to open the cash cages.
From there, the criminals were able to steal over $92 million in bank notes from the depot and once the robbers had their money, they left the hostages in cash cages.
Most of the crew, was later caught and convicted, however, at least one is said to be living off the money as a free man in the West Indies.
