Targeting the Shoreditch headquarters of Security Express, Foreman and his ‘Firm’ knew to expect safes brimming with readies lying in wait for transportation the following day.
Disguised with monkey masks, balaclavas and brandishing shotguns, The Firm performed an excruciating 8 and a half hour hold up, interrogating the on duty guards one by one as they filtered in throughout the day.
With each guard holding his own part of the vault activation, the Firm had to wait until they had a full set of workers to reap their £6million worth of spoils! But with a reward of half a million pounds hanging over their heads from Scotland Yard, will they get away with it?
