As others have said, UK Police tend to be good at dealing with the high-profile stuff.

Looks like they all will be caught now.

I doubt it. Anyone clever enough to pull off a robbery as good as the Tonbridge one would have cleared of to a country with no British extradition rights asap after the robbery. The people they are catching now are small fry.

But was it good? It wasn't anything special, or anything new.

Watch the place, work out who the manager is, what he drives and where he lives. Kidnap family. Rest is in the bag.

tbh, if they were able to work out that much, they would probably be able to realise that they would have to leave the country fast after the robbery.

More people charged (total now five), and reports of around £7m more being recovered.

The robbers are still at large tho

All those charged are being charged with conspiracy to rob, thats a lot different to being charged with robbery

It means they were involved in the planning/thinking of commiting the robbery and that the police don't have evidence that they "commited" the robbery

I can't understand how with a robbery that was well executed that the after planning (as in the getaway and what's done with the vehicles and such) wasn't very good by the look of it.

Yeah, I mean they did all the hard work then left the money close by, they should have driven up to Scotland.
