Millions found in depot raid investigation
Police investigating the £53 million robbery at the Securitas depot in Kent have recovered several million pounds in a raid in southeast London.
Bags of cash discovered at the scene of the raid - an industrial estate in Welling - are now being examined.
A sum of money was also discovered at Elderden Farm, in Staplehurst, Kent, but police said that it was not a significant amount.
A 43-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods.
Two people have appeared in court today charged in connection with the robbery. Jetmar Bucpapa, 24, of Hadlow Road, Tonbridge, was remanded in custody charged with conspiracy to rob at Maidstone Magistrates' Court.
Lea John Rusha, 33, from Southborough, near Tunbridge Wells was also remanded in custody charged with conspiracy to rob.
Both men are due to reappear in court on March 13.
On Thursday, two men and a woman appeared in court charged in connection with the robbery.
John Fowler, a 57-year-old car dealer from Elderden Farm, Staplehurst, was charged with conspiracy to rob, handling stolen goods and kidnapping depot manager Colin Dixon, his wife Lynn and the couple's son Craig.
Stuart Royle, a fellow car salesman, 47, of no fixed abode, was also charged with conspiracy to rob, while Kim Shackleton, 39, a hairdresser from Maidstone was charged with handling stolen goods.
All three were remanded in custody until March 13.
The Securitas depot in Tonbridge was robbed on February 22 after an armed gang kidnapped Mr Dixon and his family. The £53 million robbery was the largest cash robbery ever in Britain.
