The raiders cut the van's radio link, knocked one of the crew unconscious, then held a gun at the driver's head and forced him to drive to a quiet side street where they unloaded the money. The security men were left bound and gagged in their van. Photo Shows: A Security Express cash-carrying van in Romford Police Station garage awaiting examination after the theft of £120,000.
