cage-fighter has been jailed in Morocco for his part in the UK's biggest cash raid at a Securitas depot.Lee Murray, 30, from south London, was named during the trial of other gang members as the "mastermind" of the £53m raid in Kent in February 2006.Kent Police said Murray must serve 10 years in jail in Morocco for his involvement.
A spokesman for the force said Murray was deemed to be Moroccan and could not be extradited to the UK.Det Supt Mick Judge said the Kent force had worked with the Moroccan authorities to ensure Murray was prosecuted.He said: "I'm pleased Murray will now begin serving a significant prison sentence for his part in the Tonbridge robbery."More than 13 people were charged with offences in connection with the robbery. Six people were convicted.Depot manager Colin Dixon and family were kidnapped at gunpoint by men posing as police officers to allow the gang to gain entry.Det Supt Judge added: "We must not forget the traumatic experience the Dixons and the Securitas employees went through that night in 2006 - held at gunpoint and fearing for their lives."He said Murray played a key role in the conspiracy to kidnap the Dixons and rob the depot.Last June, the Moroccan authorities refused to extradite Murray, after establishing his Moroccan nationality.
