In February 2006, seven men walked into a cash depot in Tonbridge, Kent and
walked out with £53 million. It remains the largest cash robbery in British
history. £32 million of it has never been found.

But the robbery itself took seventy-five minutes. The part that made it work
happened twelve hours earlier, on a dark road, with a man in a police uniform
who was not a police officer.

This is the full story: the fake traffic stop, the knock at the door, the
hand-drawn map, and the manager who opened every door in the building.

A NOTE ON THE VISUALS

Every image in this video is a 3D reconstruction. No real CCTV, photographs
or footage of the events are used. The reconstructions are based on court
reporting and contemporary press accounts, and are illustrative — they are
not a claim about exactly what any room or person looked like.

Several people arrested in connection with this case were acquitted or never
charged, and nothing in this video is intended to suggest otherwise about
anyone not convicted.
