A gang of robbers who carried out Britain’s biggest heist gained the trust of the manager of a cash depot and that of his wife by posing as policemen with uniforms bought on eBay before taking them hostage at gunpoint, a court heard today.

Two of the gang, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, were cage fighters who fled to Morocco after the raid at the Securitas depot in Tonbridge, Kent in February last year, where £53 million was stolen, the Old Bailey heard.

The trial, continues.
