Ex-G4S Guard Disguised in Old Kit Steals £117,200 from London Bank

A former G4S security officer used his old uniform and helmet to fool staff at a Santander branch in Brixton, south London, on July 5, 2022. CCTV shows him entering the secure area, loading 11 bags of cash into a briefcase and walking out unnoticed. After changing his clothes, he placed the money in a bin bag and left in an Uber. The next day he flew to Accra, Ghana, where he remained for nearly four years. His scheme unraveled when he returned to the UK on March 26 this year and inadvertently booked another Uber in his real name using the same phone he’d used during the heist. Police arrested him on arrival at Gatwick Airport. He admitted fraud by false representation and was sentenced to three years and four months. Prosecutors said he exploited inside knowledge, while detectives praised the CCTV and phone records that secured his conviction.
