TONBRIDGE, England - British police investigating an $87 million bank heist said Friday that they were examining a white transit van in connection with the robbery, and confirmed that the vehicle contained cash, though they did not say how much.

The robbery — Britain’s biggest and most audacious — was carried out before dawn on Wednesday with military-style precision: One gang abducted the cash depot manager’s family while another tied up guards and made off with up to $87 million. The robbery bore striking similarities to a 2004 heist in Northern Ireland and to the new movie “Firewall," police said.

They've recovered the money as you say.

Looks like the £26m Belfast Northern Bank job is still the undisputed biggest
robbery in Britain!
