John Knight
Gotcha! The Untold Story of Britain's Biggest Cash Robbery
Published April 2002 by Sidgwick & Jackson at £16.99
ISBN: 0283073268
John Knight, Ronnie Knight, Detective Superintendent Peter Wilton & Pete Sawyer
The brothers John and Ronnie Knight planned their crimes meticulously, calculated the risks and had intelligence and style. John's masterwork was Britain's biggest ever cash haul - from the Security Express depot in Shoreditch, on Easter Monday 1983. When the police arrived L6 million was missing, and not a clue left behind.
Detective Superintendent Peter Wilton and his crack team were relentless in their pursuit of the robbers. With no forensic evidence, it was clever tactics that gave the police their breakthrough. Eventually John was arrested and served a twelve-year sentence, and Ronnie did his time for money laundering on his return from exile in Spain.
In this unprecedented book, the Knights and Wilton have teamed up with
investigative journalist Pete Sawyer to tell the full story, from the adrenalin fuelled
raid to the long police search, from the high life on the Costa Del Sol to interrogation,
betrayal and arrest. As exciting as any thriller, Gotcha! gives a rare view inside the
minds of three men and into the modern world of cops and robbers.

justice was dispensed: John served a twelve-year sentence, and Ronnie, who
had escaped to the Costa del Sol, did time on his return. While three gang

fascinated by each other's roles in the heist and its cracking. Here they team
up to tell the full story — the hunter and the prey.
