All three were then taken to a safe house where the family was threatened and Dixon forced to cooperate. After midnight, the gang took Dixon to a depot in nearby Tonbridge, run by Securitas, a company that handles about 40% of the cash deposits made in the U.K. Once inside, the gang tied up 14 staff members and started to load the loot into a white truck.
