13. The Securitas Depot Robbery (2006, UK)
In February 2006, a group of armed robbers executed a meticulously planned heist at the Securitas depot in Tonbridge, Kent. They kidnapped the depot manager and his family, forcing him to reveal the vault’s security codes. Disguised as police officers, the gang overpowered the staff, loaded £53 million in cash into waiting vehicles, and escaped. The audacity and scale of the robbery made it the largest cash theft in British history. For more details, refer to The Guardian’s coverage: theguardian.com
