The Discipline


"At 1830 GMT on Tuesday 21 February 2006, Colin Dixon, the manager of the Securitas cash depot in Kent, United Kingdom, is abducted on the A249 near Stockbury after being stopped by two gang members posing as police officers. At around the same time his wife and son are abducted from their home in Herne Bay by other gang members, also posing as police.

After being held at a farm building somewhere in west Kent, all three are taken to the Tonbridge depot where the gang gain access and tie up the family plus 14 members of staff.
They load large amounts of new and used banknotes into a 7.5 tonne white Renault lorry and drive away."

The Securitas depot robbery was a robbery which took place in the early hours of 22 February 2006, between 01:00 and 02:15 UTC in England, an operation that succeeded in stealing the largest cash amount in British crime history.
