Five found guilty of £53 million robbery

Biggest robbery in UK history. BBC page has lots of links to other aspects of the case, including the money trail. Two of the five are Albanians, but there are still individuals who are wanted by the police. Some of the money is alleged to be in Northern Cyprus and Morocco.

Big cash robberies much less common than they used to be, it is argued because there are lower risk ways of stealing money...like fraud. The other recent cause celebre was the big robbery in Northern Ireland.
