Two men have been arrested in connected with a masked robbery which saw £5million stolen from a company on Slough Trading Estate.
On Wednesday, March 29, Pivotal Cash Management were targeted by masked raiders who entered the high-security warehouse by attaching themselves to the underside of a lorry.
The well thought out robbery saw the intruders wait until 5:20am to strike when delivery vans were 'stuffed with money' ahead of the morning runs to banks and ATMs.
Workers at the Slough Trading Estate site were 'threatened' and 'bound' with cable ties by the gang who made off with £5million.
Nobody was hurt during the incident and it has been reported that offenders left in two vehicles and were described as wearing bulky clothing and masks with head torches.
