5. The Securitas Depot Robbery
The biggest cash robbery in British history now, and it’s the £53,116,76 (approx $87 million) that was stolen from a Securitas depot in February 2006. The manager of the depot was pulled over by what he thought was a police car (robbers seem to use that trick a lot) and kidnapped before being taken to join his already-kidnapped family. They were then taken to the depot, where the robbers took the cash and left them and 14 members of staff tied up. Eventually five men – Stuart Royle, Jetmir Bucpapa, Roger Coutts, Lea Rusha and Emir Hysenaj – were found guilty of the robbery and given life sentences but at least one suspect – Kayenide ‘Kane’ Patterson – remains at large, presumably with the money.
