(about 1 hour later) | |
Four men have appeared in court charged in connection with the theft of £1.3m from Barclays Bank. | |
The money was transferred by computer from the branch in Swiss Cottage in north London in April, police said. | |
Searches have been carried out at addresses across London where property including cash, jewellery, drugs and credit cards have been seized. | |
The men appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court and were remanded into custody. | |
Michael Victor Harper, 26, from Hampstead, north-west London and Lewis James Murphy, 29, from Chelsea, west London, have been charged with conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation. | |
Darius Bolder, 34, from Chelsea is charged with conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation and conspiracy to steal. Tony Colston-Hayter, 47, from Marylebone, central London, faces a charge of conspiracy to steal. | |
All four will appear at Southwark Crown Court on 3 October. | |
A further four men arrested in connection with the theft have been released on bail. | |
A spokesman for the bank said it had been able to recover a "significant amount" of money and added that no customers had suffered financial loss as a result of the theft. |
