Securitas raid gang blame 'administrative shortcomings'

Members of the gang involved in Britain's biggest cash robbery have apologised unreservedly for "administrative shortcomings and misjudgments" which they say led to the inadvertent kidnap of the manager of a Securitas depot and the theft of £53m. The investigation into the robbery meanwhile has come under fire from Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs who last night complained that the authorities were conducting a witch-hunt against the gang.
