...most notorious caper and until recently the richest-thieves escaped with a relatively modest $7.3 million in bank notes from the Glasgow-London Royal Mail train near Mentmore, England. This year, however, the records have been falling fast. On Easter Monday, a team of masked men invaded the Security Express depot in London and made off with an estimated $10.5 million in cash receipts.
