On February 21, 2006, a gang posing as police kidnapped Tonbridge depot manager Colin Dixon and his family to rob a Securitas cash depot, stealing £53 million—making it the UK’s largest cash heist. Despite recovering over £17 million, £32 million remains missing, possibly degraded after years buried.
