The Securitas depot robbery was a large heist in Tonbridge, Kent, England. It began with a kidnapping on the evening of 21 February 2006 18:30 GMT and ended in the early hours of 22 February, when the criminals left the depot with over £53 million cash. It was the UK's largest cash robbery and the gang left behind another £154 million only because it did not have the room to take it.
After abducting the manager of the depot and his family, the gang forced entry to the depot. Armed with weapons including AK-47 assault rifles and a Škorpion subachine gun, the gang tied up fourteen members of staff and left with £53,116,760 in used and unused Bank of England sterling banknotes. Most of the getaway vehicles were found in the following week, one containing £1.3 million in stolen notes. Another £7 million was recovered in Welling and by June 2006, over 30 people had been arrested in relation to the crime.
