3 Porsche Panamera Convoy Carries 24 Gold Bars Worth £10m (₦5B) Across London by Automotive1(m): 10:42pm On Jan 22, 2018

Under an intense security,Porsche supercar convoy of
3 Panamera carried £10million in total of 24 gold bars on a 12 nerve-wracking miles from Britain’s biggest gold refinery in East London’s Docklands to their new secure underground vault in Hatton Garden in the heart of the capital’s jewellery quarter on Sunday



The 24 gold bars weighing a hefty 300kg in total and are together worth more than £10million, depending on daily gold market values. They were divided equally across the three cars, with eight bars together weighing 100kg and worth £3.3million crated up in each of the trio of vehicles.

Each individual gold bullion bar weighs 12.5kg (equivalent to around thirteen bags of sugar) is similar in size to a computer keyboard,large brick or small French loaf,and is worth around £420,000, enough to buy a decent three-bedroomed house in many areas.





The £3.3million gold bullion in the boot of each car would buy 28 of the £118,828 Porsche Panameras, while the £10million total in the three cars would buy 84 Porsche Panameras.

Roads were closed by the Police and there was even a helicopter to keep the whole event under surveillance.

Can a Nigerian bank/CBN take this type of risk...To carry £10m(₦5 billion) in a non bullet proof car,no tough looking and heavily armed millitary or police officers.

Marketing strategy, they know say then go enter news if then do an like that, so it might attract more customers.

Everything you will be comparing Nigeria with Yankee. How many times have you seen Nigerian banks carrying cash with air surveillance and still block the road. Isn't that over security. The other time you were comparing Innoson with the likes of Mercedes forgetting that some review real cars after testing them. Be content with what you have. These comparison doesn't take you anywhere

Am certain their movement detail was out of public knowledge. This kind of marketing stunt is risky to say the least.

Dare devils criminal would risk it to make away with the gold irrespective of maximum security details at their disposal. Government should censure this kind of stunt in order to avoid public collateral damage.

Don't just take every opportunity to denigrate Nigeria, even when it's patently unnecessary.

You're comparing using a bullet proof car and armed police, but you're ignoring the info in your own post that a helicopter accompanied the convoy and that they closed off the roads the convoy passed? Do bank bullion vans close off roads where you live, or do helicopters accompany them? Plus didn't you read the post where it said there was "intense security"?

You're right! Have you even thought about how we get to see this in professional photographs and not some random street shot? :-) it's only the chopper escort we don't get to see and that's probably because it's not a Porsche:-)))

Helicopters might not be able to access the final destination...(underground vault) or anywhere near where it would be unloaded and transported to the safe.

The small cars could easily drive through the underground parking and offloaded easily.

Helicopters are no use transporting things over a heavily populated area, and it's just a easy target an rpg can bring it down because their are a lot of high building their. All the only information the criminals need is where it's coming from and where it's going and they would map out the no fly zone, and they would set different locations to expect it. But with this speed beast even if you attack it, the driver are highly expirenced drivers they would split up and they will all deliver.
