Police urge criminals to inform on raiders
British police today urged criminal associates of the armed gang responsible for the country’s biggest ever robbery to turn informer.
Assistant Chief Constable Adrian Leppard appealed for individuals with links to the raiders to tell detectives what they knew and claim the reward of up to £2m (€2.9m).
He said: “A lot of people will know what is going on.
“If you are one of those people and want to earn the reward, then please get in touch.”
Mr Leppard also revealed that police had yet to find many of the vehicles used in the massive heist at the Securitas depot in Tonbridge, Kent.
He told a press conference that the grubby white lorry used by the armed gang to carry the huge haul of cash yesterday morning – up to £40m (€58.7m) in new and used banknotes – was still missing.
Detectives are also trying to track the depot manager’s silver Nissan Almera, registration WP52 KPV, which has not been seen since he was pulled over by bogus police officers on the A249 near Stockbury and kidnapped on Tuesday evening.
“He was stopped in his own vehicle. That vehicle is still outstanding.
“Where is that vehicle now?”
Mr Leppard added that the car used to transport the manager’s wife and eight-year-old son from their home in Herne Bay to the unknown farmhouse in west Kent, where he was held at gunpoint had not been found.
“Someone may have noticed a vehicle being driven around with a woman and a young boy in it.”
