Date: January 2008

The level of physical violence has increased and the trauma suffered is very difficult to overstate.

GMB Union demands the harshest possible penalties for the perpetrators, convicted today of the Securitas Cash Depot Robbery that took place in Kent in 2006. GMB represents tens of thousands of workers in the Cash and Valuables in Transit (CVIT) Sector.

Gary Smith, GMB National Secretary said “ We should not romanticise this crime. These are not gentleman villains from an old Ealing film. We have a huge number of attacks that take place against individuals working in the CVIT Sector in this country. The impact of these attacks on the often low paid workers in this sector cannot be overstated.”
