During the last 24 hours we executed a number of search warrants. I can't tell you at this stage the result of those searches. |
During the last 24 hours we have executed a number of search warrants. A number of those search warrants because of the risk posed have involved pre-planned firearms operations. |
I am very encouraged by the response from members of the public. |
I remain pleased with the progress of this case. |
Most important for us, we believe those cages were dumped from the back of a white box-van. It may be the same lorry that came from the cash depot, but we can't confirm that. |
The investigation is very active. We are taking all opportunities and gathering forensic evidence where we can, gathering witness evidence where we can. |
The net is closing. Leaving firearms, clothing and cash in the van suggests to me that there are people in the gang who are now making mistakes. |
They are under pressure and we want to keep the pressure on. I am very encouraged at this stage by the progress we are making. The net is closing in. |
This is organized crime at its top level. This was planned and executed with military precision. |
We are gathering important evidence and following a number of significant lines of inquiry. I am pleased with progress and remain confident that we will catch those responsible. |
We have found cash in that van. |
We have got a fairly wide inquiry basis at the moment that looks at a range of people in a range of areas - a lot of them in this country, but not all of them. |
We hope to jog people's memories - did they see anything last week, and did the gang test their plan and the route they used in the weeks running up to the robbery? |
We know it's a sizable amount. |
