Cash-in-transit driver faked £920,000 armed heist as an 'inside man'

A cash-in-transit driver faked an armed robbery and stole almost £1m from his vehicle. Andrew Measor, 51, helped Stefanos Cantaris, 40, steal £920,000 in banknotes during the heist in Ilford, east London, on December 30, 2021.

During the heist, Measor handcuffed himself to his security van's steering wheel and waited two hours to raise the alarm at the depot in Dagenham. He called for help by dialling his phone with his nose.

CCTV footage released on Friday (March 24) showed masked men lading chequered laundry bags full of cash into a white Vauxhall Combo. Measor claimed he was "raided" by a man armed with a gun who approached him as he left his home.
