Following news report just issued from the Old Bailey.

See last paragraph:



Five men have been found guilty of a series of charges in connection with Britain's biggest cash robbery.



They were convicted by an Old Bailey jury over the £53 million heist at the Securitas depot in Tonbridge, Kent, in February 2006.



The gang convicted were - Lea Rusha, 35, a former roofer of Lambersart Close, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, Kent; car salesman Stuart Royle, 49, of Allen Street, Maidstone, Kent; unemployed Jetmir Bucpapa, 26, of Hadlow Road, Tonbridge; garage owner Roger Coutts, 30, of The Green, Welling, south east London; and Emir Hysenaj, 28, a Post Office worker, of New Road, Crowborough, East Sussex.



The gang got away with what was described as a "king's ransom" in cash but left behind £153 million because they could not fit any more into their lorry.



After the robbery, police recovered £21 million of the stolen money at sites in Kent and south east London, with much of the rest thought to have been spirited away to Morocco and Northern Cyprus, some of it turned into assets.

More information from Reuters:



The focus of the search is Cyprus and Morocco, from where detectives are trying to extradite two men suspected of being leading members of the plot and where they have seized houses and cars suspected of having been bought with the loot.



Another suspect, builder Sean Lupton, is thought to be in north Cyprus after skipping police bail following his arrest on suspicion of conspiracy to rob, and some of the money is also thought to be on the Mediterranean island.
