Brink's-Mat robbery
The Brink's-Mat robbery at London’s Heathrow Airport in November 26 1983 saw a record £26 million (today £ million) worth of gold bullion, diamonds and cash stolen from a warehouse. The bullion was the property of Johnson Matthey Bankers Ltd, which collapsed the following year, after making large loans to fraudsters and insolvent firms. Many of the gang were convicted, but the gold has never been recovered. Lloyd’s of London paid out for the losses. Several murders have been linked to the case.
==Robbery==
The Brink's-Mat robbery occurred early on 26 November 1983 when six robbers broke into the Brink's-Mat warehouse at Heathrow Airport, London. At the time, it was described as "the crime of the century".
The gang gained entry to the warehouse from security guard Anthony Black. The robbers thought they were going to steal £3 million in cash.〔 However, when they arrived, they found three tonnes of gold bullion〔 and stole £26 million (today million) worth of gold, diamonds and cash.〔 Once inside, they poured petrol over staff and threatened them with a lit match if they did not reveal the combination numbers of the vault.
