The Securitas depot robbery

 The largest cash robbery in British history went down in 2006 at a security services company’s warehouse in Kent. An insider filmed the interior of the Securitas depot in preparation. Then, men clad in elaborate masks kidnapped the branch manager and held his family hostage. The robbers took him to the warehouse and forced him to give them access to the cash cages. The crew stole about 83 million. Despite their clever disguises, some of the robbers were caught, and the makeup artist who designed the masks became a key witness in the case.

The Knightsbridge Security Deposit robbery

 Valerio Viccei, who was already wanted for more than 50 armed robberies in Italy, almost committed the perfect crime in London in 1987. He and an assistant walked into a bank and asked to rent a safe deposit box. When the men were shown to the vault, they pulled out guns and overpowered the bank manager and guards. After putting a "closed" sign on a bank door, they let in some friends, broke into as many safe deposit boxes as possible, and made off with millions in cash and valuables. Viccei fled to South America but was eventually arrested when he returned to England to ship his Ferrari to his new home.

 

 

The Dar Es Salaam Bank heist

 To this day, few details are known about the 2007 robbery at Dar es Salaam Bank, a private financial institution in Baghdad, Iraq. It’s unclear why the bank had so much American cash on hand to steal. Allegedly, the theft was orchestrated by several bank guards. The government suspected the robbers also had contacts within local police and militias that allowed them to pass through the many checkpoints across Baghdad undetected. No further information has been released about the whereabouts of the money or those responsible.

 

The Central Bank of Iraq robbery

    Another robbery in Baghdad became the largest bank heist in history. 

  The mastermind was    none other than Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.                  

  One day before the Iraq War  began in 2003,   he sent three large trucks to the Central Bank. 

    He also sent his son Qusay with a handwritten note asking to withdraw nearly 1  

   billion to   keep it from enemy hands. The money was loaded into vans and     driven away.

    Most of the cash was recovered in the ensuing raids  but it doesn’t end here. Tasked

    with counting the illicit loot, American soldiers made off with hundreds of thousands

     of dollars for themselves and their families. Thirty-five service members were caught.
