Detectives investigating Britain's biggest ever cash heist have released three women on bail pending further inquiries.
Kent police had been questioning the women since their arrest on Thursday on suspicion of money laundering in connection with the £53 million heist at the Securitas depot in Tonbridge last month.
But they released the women last night while they continue their investigations into the February 22nd raid, a Kent police spokeswoman confirmed.
Car salesman John Fowler, 57, of Elderden Farm in Staplehurst, has already been charged with conspiracy to rob Securitas and the kidnapping of depot manager Colin Dixon and his wife and son Lynn and Craig.
Stuart Royle, 47, from Maidstone, Jetmir Bucpapa, 24, from Tonbridge, and Lea John Rusha, 33, of Tunbridge Wells, have also all been charged with conspiracy to rob.
Kim Shackleton, 39, from Maidstone, has been charged with handling stolen goods.
The four men and one woman are due to appear at Maidstone crown court on June 12th.
Police have so far recovered just under £20 million of the stolen cash, with the vast majority still missing, despite a high-profile investigation.
