LONDON (AP) – Detectives investigating Britain’s largest cash robbery arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion of robbery in south London on Saturday, police said.
Earlier Saturday, a 43-year-old man arrested during a raid on an industrial estate in southeast London was released on bail.
He had been arrested Friday, when police found a number of bags filled with notes in a yard behind the car repair business where he worked.
Media reports have speculated that up to $12.3 million was found during the police raid. Police have refused to confirm the figure, saying only that it amounted to “several million pounds.”
The robbery of the Securitas Cash Management warehouse in Tonbridge, about 30 miles southeast of London, netted $92 million after the thieves kidnapped the cash depot manager, his wife and their 9-year-old son on Feb. 21-22.
Five people have been charged so far in the case.
