Dec. 12, 1968 - Safe Gang In £100, 000 Gold Raid. A gang using a high-powered thermic lance, got away with a £100, 000 haul of gold and silver. The raiders left a silver trail which led from the bullion firm of J.S. Knight and Sons Ltd. in Benjamin Street, Smithfield. The raid was discovered early morning after a burglar alarm rang - probably set off accidentally as the gang was leaving. By the time the first police car arrived the gang had vanished. Their haul included sheet gold and silver, ingots and granules. The gang left behind a thermic lance and ten oxygen bottles with sets of goggles.
