Celebrity villain Ronnie Knight has died aged 89 after spending his final years living on a state pension having frittered away his ill-gotten gains.
Knight pocketed £1.3million in today’s money for his share in the 1983 Security Express heist - then a record for cash stolen in a robbery.
But after 11 years on the run, the former husband of actress Barbara Windsor ended up in a rented one-bedroom flat in a sheltered housing complex for the elderly in Cambridge.
