The Securitas depot robbery of 2006 was the largest cash robbery in British history, and it was built on terror. A gang led by a professional cage fighter stole almost £53 million from a cash depot in Tonbridge, Kent, so much money they left another £150 million behind because it wouldn't fit in the lorry. To pull it off, they kidnapped the depot manager, and abducted his wife and nine-year-old son at gunpoint, forcing him to choose between the money he was paid to protect and the lives of his family. But for all their meticulous planning, the gang's getaway was a shambles that left a trail of DNA and cash-stuffed vans. In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we tell the full story: the tiger kidnapping, the inside man, the record-breaking raid, the bungled escape, the manhunt, and the £32 million that has never been found. Settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of the tiger kidnap.
