On Wednesday an armed band of robbers stole at least 25 million pounds (roughly $44 million) from a security depot in Kent, England. The depot’s manager and his wife and child were abducted and threatened until the manager helped the robbers enter the depot, CNN reports.

“The arrests at this stage are significant,” Adrian Leppard, assistant chief constable, told CNN.

Securitas, a security firm that owns the depot, has offered a reward of as much as $3.5 million for information that leads to the recovery of the stolen cash, according to CNN.
