Daring Raids That Netted Millions

Summary


The robbery of pounds 40m from a security depot in Tonbridge is the biggest cash heist in British history. It easily surpasses the pounds 26.5m stolen from Belfast's Northern Bank in December 2004, a robbery widely blamed on the IRA. Four men, including bank employee Chris Ward, 24, have been charged in connection with the Belfast robbery.

The Tonbridge robbery also dwarfs the pounds 2,631,784 taken by the Great Train Robbers in August 1963 - although allowing for inflation the cash would be worth about pounds 40m today.
