Ex-security guard almost pulled off the perfect crime – but made simple mistake | 5 News

► Uber error led to Kissi being caught. It was a simple plan, and it worked perfectly. Kwabena Kissi put on his old security guard uniform, strolled into a Santander bank, then walked out with £117,000. Bank staff were said to have only realised they’d been robbed when the security guard meant to collect the money arrived to make the collection. For almost four years, Kissi avoided capture - having fled to Ghana – but he was arrested when he returned to the UK in March 2025. The court was told Kissi worked for G4S between 2019 and 2020 but failed to return his uniform when he quit. The 40-year-old, the court heard, let himself down, by messing up his getaway. He ordered an Uber in his own name. Kissi was jailed this week for three years and four months. ► Have you subscribed to 5 News?: http://bit.ly/5NewsSub ► Follow 5 News on Twitter to keep up to date with the latest news - https://twitter.com/5_News Message us on Facebook to share your opinion - https://www.facebook.com/c5News See our latest pictures and videos on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/c5news/ ► About 5 News: We bring you the stories that matter to you, from around the world and across the UK. 🎥 We post daily playlists with the biggest news of the day, interviews, special reports and investigations. 📺 Catch us on TV on Channel 5 every weekday 5-6pm 📱 Get in touch with us on WhatsApp at +44 7555 500 501 🎧 Listen to "How Did We Get Here?
