A WOMAN kidnapped during the £53 million Securitas robbery says she is 100 per cent sure of the site where she was held captive prior to the robbery.

Lynn Dixon, wife of Securitas depot manager Colin, was giving evidence today in the trial of those charged in connection with the raid from the Tonbridge depot in February last year.

Mrs Dixon said she had later asked police investigatig the robbery to take her back to the site where they believe she had been held by kidnappers before the robbery took place.

Police took her, at night, to Elderden Farm in Staplehurst, near Maidstone, owned by one of the alleged conspirators, John Fowler.

Mrs Dixon said: “I asked to go back in the dark to be 100 per cent sure.”

When she got there, she said, she "was 100 per cent sure it was the same place.”

Jurors at the Old Bailey were shown a plan of the farm drawn by Mrs Dixon shortly after the robbery alongside pictures of Elderden Farm taken by police.

Mrs Dixon also confirmed items found in a bonfire at Elderden Farm the morning after the robbery could have been the same as those taken from her when she was kidnapped from her home in Herne Bay.

These included a bookmark, a spectacle case and a sample of Chanel perfume.

One of the defendants, Stuart Royle, who had requested to stand leaning against the back of the dock to ease his back pain, smiled as Mrs Dixon recalled how she had thought the Chanel Allure perfume had been Chanel Number 5.

The trial continues.
