Northern Bank to reissue all notes, stolen cash 'worthless'
07/01/2005 - 12:34:09The Northern Bank in Belfast, from which £26.5m (€37.7m) was stolen before Christmas, is to withdraw all of its banknotes from circulation and reissue them in a different colour, chief constable Hugh Orde has said.
"The (stolen) money will not be worth anything when that takes place," he said.
It was originally believed that £22m (€31.3m) had been stolen in the raid, but Mr Orde said today the total proceeds were now known to be £26.5m (€37.7m).
Northern Bank is due to make a statement later today.
